The best. Must really have blown minds when it came out.

No mention of the genius that is Ian M. Banks or Alester Reynolds. Meh.

He's a crook for sure but high interest rates really hurt the working class. Their mortgage payments go up etc...

This is why we must unionize

Or just a silly monty python fish. How anyone could be against public transportation is so beyond me

I'd like to slap the 7 people that downvoted this with a fish

Capitalism trying to capitalism it's way out of a capitalism caused crisis. Classic.

You make a lot of good points. What I'm saying is simply that I don't want to be in a social situation where I am forced to befriend someone who holds the sword. The top down structure makes friendship inherently disingenuous. Friendship can only happen when you are equals.

That's a strawman argument. Of course we should be civil. WE LIVE IN A SOCIETY as George Costanza likes to remind us. I simply object to the false comradery that tries to paint a picture of caring about the workers while simultaneously reducing benefits and pay. Behind the 'social' nice mask is a machine controlled by stakeholders.

Exactly. Unless we are on equal terms which is impossible in corporate top down structure, the relationship is transactional. Nothing more. I work, stakeholders pay me less than the value I created and pocket the difference.
