TIL! What an interesting place

That’s a good shout! I’d love to hear peoples suggestions for specific places

Still valuable to me - it identifies money-flight, e.g are rich people in one town moving to a specific few suburbs instead of staying in the city centre?

We can do it on a per-neighbourhood basis and include things like villages

I still define those as cities, and that’s basically part of what I wanted to identify, actually: which cities are using their space in inefficient ways and are not building in a dense way?

That being said, I have no problem with suburbia if they create actual vibrant gardens instead of lawns (which they never seem to do).

But if you had a statistic you could show to city councils and real estate saying “this area (e.g manhattan) is drawing in more tax than your area because it has people living densely,” you could hopefully change their minds about things.

This is true, and if the metric is intended to identify excess wealth of an overall town i would definitely include them in the equation - hypothetically might find that the city has like 100 square feet per person, but all the non rich sleep on the streets, so it becomes 5 square feet per person

Woah that sounds way more advanced than manufacturing in my country

And when everyone has ADHD?

Nobody will.

You aught to with all the fine cooking you’ve been doing

Just remember to never call it trash curry when you bring it out to your guests

A lot of halves of things in there. Maybe it’s a 50% curry!

Therefore we should never commit to a “remove rich people from society” ideology because it’s just a stand in term for “people i don’t like”

As always, then they should say that. No more “x is y” “no I meant chi is y!” debateslop

So what you’re describing is a grave miscommunication in which someone hears “rich” in 2026 and thinks “millionaire”.

No; rich is an incredibly broad, general, term. Anyone who speaks the English language knows that. So again, you have to be specific in your arguments when you lay them out for it to even make logical sense

Nobody inherently believes anything. They observe the world as they grow up, they listen to the things their parents and friends say, they listen to music and the media. We all are influenced by the environment around us and then we have the balls to say “I’m an independent thinker”.

Brilliant point.

I think the undertone of existential comics saying “oh they INHERENTLY believe in masters” is trying to imply the only way to deal with such people is to kill them. Gruesome. The shutting down of all dialogues.

This is why I belive listening to what someone tells you they believe is not a waste of time, because you can then convince them otherwise.

people defend rich because they believe in masters

No: the rhetorical defense of rich people usually arises when action against rich people such as “eat the rich” or “steal all their assets” has been proposed, and people say “well not all rich people deserve that.”

Which is true. I don’t even think a majority of rich people deserve some punishment for how they accrued their wealth. If you have some conception that they should be dropping crumbs of wealth for you along the way, consider:

• 1 this is rooted in your education, so you really just despise the fact that they rich were educated different from your or had a different outcome to that same education - which is not their fault, since education is top-down nowadays.
• 2 they may well have already dropped their crumbs, and you were just not among the lucky recipients of it. People prioritise their own family first, and families can be very extensive once you’re in the Business of throwing away cash.
• 3 Literally nothing in society insists upon or suggests that rich people reinvest their wealth in others, or other walks of society - esswntially running counter to how it was historically, for the record.
• 4 if someone does decide to give away money they get distracted by charity, which is less direct than government schemes to redistribute wealth. Are you going to be vaguely annoyed at people who have done well for themselves rather than the governments ineptitude and charity inefficiency?

And importantly - it is well demonstrated that people can become rich through ethical means. This has been shown to be true over and over again.

Instead of just getting mad at the vague sense of rich people “not doing what you want them to do,” reach out and create dialogue with them to lay out your vision for society. Nobody wants to give away money without thinking it will be used effectively.

Elon Musk fan boys

We should call them SpaceX fanboys because they’re two different things, really. People support SpaceX because it has been the most technologically successful rocket launching in enterprise in history and is the best bet at space colonisation for its high level or organisation no massive amounts of funding, assuming Elon isn’t just a “for profit” kind of guy now.

I cannot imagine liking Elon musk just by himself. He is misguided and loves AI and hasn’t taken the time to uhh remedy his PR image. He was buddies either trump. Its like: “do you support the Soviet union and hate stalin” or “do you support the Indian independence movement but disapprove of Mohatma Gandhi (child molester btw)”

People who like Elon musk like him because he politically aligns with them, that is the main reason at the moment. Whether in terms of AI, bitcoin or right wing politics.

1: conservative women like men because they like hierarchy

It is true for some but for many its just that they don’t like men being criticised all the time - or the traditional way of life in general. Those ones do not take it to a performative “let me stay home baking for my husband all day” position.

And if people have the right to gay marriage et cet, give them the right to align with that traditional way of life, right? Even if they feel it involves some degree of subservience.

This is an awful allegory for the rich- poor relations, because men-women in a relationship is a binary. Rich and poor is a gradient. If someone approves of rich, they might be like “so I don’t understand why anyone would need a billion dollars or more but i support peoples right to hold more money than other people up until that point.”

Whereas the question of ‘do you like men or not’ comes down to "do you literally tolerate >50% of society’s right to exist on their terms or not?

Seems like AI could do it efficiently enough for how frequently they posted these images. Dataset of RFK photos, data set of food images.

“This guy seems to get whatever he wants… I should be careful not to end up in his bad books”

Maybe they use AI?

Thank you for reminding me

This must be why some people (me included) try to squeeze out every last drop of phone battery

Opinions are not like assholes!!
