I've used Maybe for a while, I don't understand how this will be valuable in a B2B context... Weird decision!

As soon as a capitalist has enough money.

Could not finish it. The story would not start, eventually I stopped caring.

Current: James Acaster's Classic Scrapes

Funny collection of stories that happened to him over the years. Very entertaining and funny.

Your family is sick and hungry. You are penalized for each mistake.

Glory to Arstotzka.

Another round of 'look at us working' without any results.

I imagine some kind of schism and a(nother) American pope

Or be sad you weren't born 10.000 years earlier with a 15 hour work week.

the focus on politics, economics, and law are all destined to fail because they are based around humans. They’re designed to guide humans, but we’ve left out the foundation of our existence, which is nature, clean air, pure water, rich soil, food, and sunlight. That’s the foundation of the way we live and, when we construct legal, economic and political systems, they have to be built around protecting those very things, but they’re not.

Powerful truth!

Currently reading: James Acaster's Classic Scrapes. A funny collection of stories from his childhood, an enjoyable read. I'd recommend it if you're looking for something light and funny.

Before this, I gave up on the book All Our Wrong Todays by Elan Mastai, after about a hundred pages. I just couldn't get into it, the story kept halting in favor of flashbacks and setting the MC's backstory. I hate stories not starting soon enough with the actual story. Unnecessary to say, but I would not recommend this :)

Yes indeed! In my mind civilization and hierarchy overlap perfectly, am I mistaken? Care to hand me some examples where that is not the case?

It wasn't meant to come over as cynical. I just wanted to indicate how this is not exclusive to these times. Before the modern age, there were already a lot of powerful people doing a lot of heinous things. I just wonder when the finger will start pointing, not at those in power, but at power itself.
