Memes that are too meirl for /c/meirl.

Rules:

  1. Respect the community. If you're not into self-deprecating/dark/suicidal humor then this place isn't for you. Kindly just block and move on. This is just how some of us cope.

  2. Respect one another.

  3. All titles must begin with 2meirl4meirl. This is for multiple reasons. One is just so you can be lazy with titles but another is so people who aren't into this kind of humor can avoid it.

  4. Otherwise just the general no bigotry, no dickishness, no spam, no malice, etc stuff.

Sidebar will be updated when I feel like and considering I'm Sadboi extraordinaire we'll see when that will be.

Sure but if you re-allocating all of the resources that went into the yacht, that includes labor, the jobs. I haven't suggested doing less stuff, I've suggested doing the same amount of stuff, but distributing it equitably.

Yeah that is fair, but I am not sure that it is really a resource issue. World wide we produce enough food, shelter, medicine etc. That's also where social security and things like the EU are for. There are just a bunch of priks who ruin it for everybody else and at the same time there are a lot of people who choice to buy from Amazon instead of something locally.

There is also the issue that people like to work on building a yacht, I am pretty sure.

Yeah, there's enough stuff to go around, but some people are hoarding it, in general.

I'm sure some people like building yachts, and luxury cars, extravagant jewelry, etc., but those industries are so tiny compared to the ones that serve regular people.

Whatever might be lost in terms of cool jobs making fancy things could be made up for so many times over, in an equitable society, for example by allowing people to work less hours and afford the same standard of living, making more free time for hobbies and other fulfilling activities.
