The cycle of social democracy

A circular graphic showing a dying rose in the middle starting with “Too much money makes too powerful” leading to “But I'm not Marxist” leading to “Let's just tax the rich and limit their wealth” leading to “Oh, the rich prevent it with their money” circling back to “Too much money makes too powerful”

happy spooky season to all who celebrate 🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃

Vintage comic panel. A cheerful skeleton holding a long rake walks down a dirt path through a field packed with yellow pumpkins at night. Behind him are a wooden fence, bare trees, a gnarled old tree with a face-like knot, and a starry blue sky. A wavy speech bubble shows him singing: "Happy boy. Happy boy. I'm a very happy boy. Look at all my beautiful pumpkins!"

The year is 2030. Taylor Swift released a new album last week. She has already re-released 9,000 versions of it. You ask if this is a bit much, and a Swiftie immediately decapitates you. This is legal for them to do, as has been decreed by God Emperor Taylor Swift.

funny how the people with all the wealth keep saying that the redistribution of that wealth would be "unfeasible" and "wouldn't fix things" and even funnier that everyone keeps believing them

Economics in it's current form really is just junk science. Michael Janda's metaphor of blood letting here standing in for interest rate rises is genius, as is this simple fact: "Rate rises don't fix supply problems."
