No no no, the extended dip during the water wars can look like a failed state for the layman, but I’d argue it’s not even the end of the first act, as evidenced by epics and myths toiletpaper scripts we’ve collected from the wandering tribes of NordMerica.

That's a legit strategy to beat the Market

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 months ago

Strategy to beat the market:

Step 1: invest at absolute random

Step 2: wait

Step 3: profit

Addendum: this will not work when worker wages rise or society collapses.

Addendum 2: when worker wages don't rise for generations, society might collapse.

Addendum 3: when the global economy shrinks from apocalyptic natural disaster, you should've realized how valuable labor was porky >:3

It didn't always work, but when it didn't, it fucked other peoples lives.

The ~~white spice~~ profits must flow.
