Capitalism is so all-consuming it’s like water to fish. “Capitalism” becomes synonymous with words like economy, markets, trade, laws, and government. It no longer is an ideology, but an immutable force in the universe.

New bit idea: tell people you’re “as left as they cum,” and always cum facing your left.

lmao they should say “animal involved velocity discharges” for maximum passive voice.

Fuck the house…17 acres for only $1 million? The rest of Chicago is like $1 million per acre. Bulldoze the whole thing and you’d probably make your money back and then some.

You forgot they’re also criminal masterminds who smuggle in thousands of dollars in drugs over the border, kill hundreds of Americans without getting caught, are master engineers that build massive tunnel networks underground, and scam the government out of billions of dollars via welfare programs.

Honestly I wish immigrants were the people conservatives think they are because they’d have an insane set of skills we could use.

Yah the reason Europeans have stuff like free education and healthcare is because the US does all their dirty work. Iraq is a perfect example. The US took very little oil for itself, continuing to rely on South American and domestic fossil fuels. But Iraq wasn’t keeping its oil for itself, it was all being siphoned off to Britain, France, Norway, Germany, etc.

If there are only two digits after a decimal and less than four digits before, you could probably figure out if someone was doing budgeting using their computer. Like if the user imput is:

99.99 + 27.63 + 127.48 + 4.99 + 2.99 + 10 + 283.57

…that looks a lot like someone calculating monthly bills and expenses.

During the Cold War, the CIA funded numerous artists that did abstract work. This was to push back against Soviet Realism and hype up American artists. Jackson Pollock was specifically in this category, as he was an alcoholic nobody until the CIA started funding him. These artists varied in quality. Pollock was considered a hack by his contemporaries, but the money came pouring in.

There’s no doubt the CIA laundered money through art the way they did cocaine and gun trafficking. As far as today is concerned, however, this type of money laundering doesn’t happen anymore. Problems are mostly around IP and NDAs casting a shadow. Damien Hirst, for example, didn’t actually do all of his pouring paintings. Unnamed interns did them but can’t put their own credentials out there or even mention they worked for Hirst.

Obviously, this stuff is still sketchy. But if it were as easy as painting a line and getting a billionaire to buy it, everyone would be doing it lmao
