“Trickle down economics only occurs when the wealthy bleed.”
Similar, and appropriate. The working class will only benefit once the wealthy are no longer wealthy.
Assigning to a number like they do prisoners.
Disgusting behaviour from Stack Overflow and the perpetrators.
He's user number 24601 as far as I'm concerned
probably was the internal id number, but still scummy behaviour.
As of yet, Stack Exchange has not replied to the above post, but they did promptly and within hours gave me a year-long ban for merely raising the question.
Laws mean nothing anymore. Therefore licenses mean nothing. Therefore ownership means nothing, and "theft" no longer exists.
Therefore ownership means nothing, and “theft” no longer exists.
WOAH WOAH WOAH... hold on there Circuitfarmer (checks clipboard) It says here you're not nearly affluent enough to circumvent the law... we'll be keeping a close eye on you... --BB
I managed to convince my brother in law by using the wrongful death case of Kanokporn Tangsuan as an example. Framed it as his moral responsibility to never sign up for any digital media ever again since he has a family. I pointed him to a few resources to sail the high seas and he's got his high seas pc hooked up to his TV and cancelled all his subscriptions. I'm so proud.
Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law.

“No wars but class wars” as true today as when Trotsky said it many decades ago. Not sure how anyone cannot see this very, very clear fact, made self evident by the treatment of Luigi and the composition of the upcoming administration and its supporters.
But every other commoner that sees it needs to take according measures.
Culture is not our friend.
i have no love for brian thompson or ceos but the canonisation of a well off wealthy rich kid from a family of republicans is a bit disturbing.
He's closer to you in class and status than Brian Thompson ever was. How fine a comb do you want to use to divide us? Where's the line?
what does this have to do with dividing us? i mean they're both not close to me. they're both wealthy people from well off families. i think instead of donating a bunch of money to him, people should start donating to people facing vast sums of medical debt.
Instead of people paying for ridiculous amount of medical debt due to inflated amount of medical bill due insurance companies. Govt can pay for their own people medical coverage who are paying tax for them to run the govt.
sure but that's not likely to happen with republicans in government.
If i have to say both are similar. They work for the ultra rich. They both don't care about common people, you and I both. That's why Luigi mangione did what he had to do. Making the rich know their place. Whether he is rich or not doesn't matter. We needed to send the message across.
People do - through tax but the rich divert the funds through policy using laws that they've shaped to benefit themselves rather than the nation.
Honestly, if anyone has a chance of murdering the rich and setting a precedent of self defence over social murder, it's another rich who can afford an excellent lawyer to see out the lengthy court case.
this who you're defending when you attack Luigi's character.
just making sure you're getting the whole picture in view for everyone to see.
