Rules:

  1. Be civil and nice.
  2. Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.

There won't be any limits after people snap. Back to the jungle we go. Don't worry, it's not like we were ever actually civilized. We hid our savagery behind the economic system

It's like playing Russian roulette. A big gun, 100 chambers, one bullet. You pull the trigger, click, no bang, you get richer. Click, you get richer. Click, click, click, you are wealthy. Click, click, click, you're a billionaire. Click, bang, your brain is splattered all over the wall. That's the game the rich are playing. You can't keep winning forever.
