I love that even in this made up fantasy world (which is awesome btw), we're still only able to pay teachers "Close" to what they're worth.

Like, lol. Teachers are so fucked from a livable wage standpoint, that it would take 2 made up billionaire apocalypses to give them enough money to be paid what they're actually worth.

I wouldnt tell anyone i got superpowers but there woild be signs

"Teachers were finally paid closer to their worth."

I dunno, I just think the phrasing "closer to their worth" is really funny when the picture being painted is a hopeful one. We can't actually hope that teachers will get a decent pay, even in a better world.

Love the shoutout to Sam Sweetmilk (Starship Goldfish).

Yeah, was not expecting to be bricked up so much today. You can't just post stuff like that anywhere.

Now I'm going to be thinking about this all day.

I'm a bit existentially confused by the anticapitalist webcomic being hosted on Shopify.

Isn't this the plot of a Kingsman movie?

"one day, like a miracle..." No, you need to make change happen the hard way.

Idk what messed up religion y'all are trying to come up with now but we need to lock in and strike these mfers out of the country.

That would be nice but the pessimist in me know people would cap themselves at $900,000,000 and then gift millions of the interest they'd make to political mercenaries who will do their bidding as long as they're on payroll.

History already taught that's not how it works, someone or bunch of people need to make it happen for real, the alternative is natural disasters , old age and sickness or accidents.

My friends always say "You can't just kill them. There will be someone to take their place." The obvious response is kill them too. Eventually, people will stop being so eager to take their place!

Though as the comic says, there's always going to be assholes. Limiting how much power they have would be great.

I am currently running a game of Vampire predicated on "what if you all just.. took out the ultra rich?". It has been satisfying.

I'd prefer to stretch it out a bit: One every hour, starting with the "poorest" of them, climbing up the list every time.

Make the ones on top know that it will be their turn eventually. They cannot avoid it. They cannot cheat it.

They can donate everything they own to charities or whatever they want, and some will certainly try. But it's too late - The culling cannot be stopped.

That would certainly encourage the parasite class to actually DO beneficial things instead of hoarding, if they can't spend it on themselves.

You get to 1.9 million and you better start building housing and parks and shit.

But if not, you explode. And that's fine too.

This is an attainable future, they say where there's a will there's a way
