Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Are you sure? I checked around and couldn't find much about this. Cable and broadcast news don't seem to be reporting it, and none of the major newspapers. It's not supported by X or Facebook either. I don't see a lot of books about it on my Kindle. I mean, that's quite a conspiracy theory you've got going there. For it to work, a small group of people would have to somehow hold over half the wealth of America and use it to elect politicians with so few scruples that they'll appoint anyone to powerful offices. Even that is assuming they could somehow pack courts with compliant judges who are willing to declare that corporations are people and money is speech. Next, you'll be telling me that a median salary is unlikely without a degree that costs almost as much as a new car, but that it doesn't matter anyway because a median salary can't support a family in the same standard of living they were born into. I can't imagine people would tolerate this kind of thing. We'd have to be living in some kind of dystopian, authoritarian plutocracy like a bad 1970s sci-fi.
