I’d argue we’re already there. Once you hit zero it’s not like you zip out of existence. When everyone is poor and has no money, the rich get to hire you and pay you enough to buy their products and keep them comfortable. You’ll never make enough to get out of poverty because it’s designed to keep you there.

Poverty isn’t just about not having money, it’s about never making enough to get out of poverty. When you’re always living paycheck to paycheck, payday loan to payday loan - you’re screwed. The system will never let you out. You’re too profitable in that state to let out.

Think of the boot theory. If I only give you 10 bucks a year, you have to buy the 2 dollar boots every year that last only a year. The moment you made 11 dollars, you could buy the 5 dollar boot that lasts you a decade. The system incentivizes company’s to sell 2 dollar boots cause it makes them more money in the long run, and if the entire world agrees to never pay you more than 10 dollars a year, every company can make that much more money. That’s why your market value is not your fair pay.

The real reason poverty exists is because rich people need a slave class without being directly liable for owning them.

Ah yes, python is psuedocode

Something clicked in my mind when I read the phrase self-righteous suicide and SOAD just popped into my head

Then, we’d have to shift the jokes to which editors can run in emacs.

Do you mean like neomutt, mu4e etc kinds?

Ah. My bad. I guess I was a bit needlessly aggressive with my comment too.

Ok? I never said it was cheap. Also, the whole “I want it for cheap” mentality is what got the world to where we are right now. I can afford to pay 10 dollars a month for a search engine because it saves me exponentially more in privacy and more importantly- time.

Absolutely. It’s really nice that the middle tier now has unlimited searches too!

Check out Kagi!

Emacs!

Try Celeste. There’s a great storyline but you can ignore it if you want. The gameplay speaks for itself

Are you telling me you’d prefer a normal browser over an electron app running a mini browser hogging the resources of a full browser in what is the equivalent of a progressive web app??

EDIT: I know nothing. I just thought this would seem funny
