  • I recently heard on the news in passing (or at least I think that’s where I heard it) that shoplifting has gone up by like 30% over recent years.

    They were talking about the new ways stores are incorporating security measures, and it made me laugh a bit. All this time and money spent on increasing security when they could rally around paying people better and decreasing inflation.

    For example, if you want people to spend money, they need money to spend. Mind blowing stuff, I know



  • I feel like it was bad that I was thinking of the Super Mario Bros when I read “trillionaire.”

    I have very conflicting feelings about it all. We ultimately should have processes to stop people from accumulating too much wealth. There should be a cap, in my opinion. But I have no idea how that would be implemented or enforced. People become above the law when they hit a certain point, which defeats the point of our society. At that point, they are no different than kings and queens.
