What is an economy?

Maybe we shouldn’t have chocolate, or maybe a bar of chocolate should be 20 dollars.

The people owning the businesses can make less profit and pay workers respectable wages without raising prices.

That's only if they're forced to, though.

How hard is it to change a few little habits?

It is legitimately impossible for most 1st-worlders.

They all think they're entitled to what they've had their entire lives, even if it hurts others.

To be fair, every 'breakthrough' starts small and takes decades before reaching the public.

With the money we spend supporting Israel, we could be making Haiti a paradise.

The only way to deal with it is to let so much of it flood the digital world that nobody cares anymore because there's a deepfake porno of everyone.

This is a waste of money to ensure rich people don't get porn made of them by poor people.

Poor people won't be able to afford lawyers and aren't able to take time off to show up in court.
