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.

Capitalists love having an excuse to do whatever shitty thing they've been planning to do all along. Whether that excuse is inflation, high unemployment, competition, covid, "the market," or most recently, ai — they'll find an excuse to have their shitty little way.
Only when these factors work against the owner's ability to generate unlimited profits does it become a problem that we need to address.
There's a threshold to that, otherwise climate change would've been solved. But since it only affects a bit of agriculture and fishing, they just raise prices and continue with the same.
