@tezoatlipoca @georgetakei Don't fret, they are just telling us they are out of touch.

@caroona @georgetakei Oh god, I do. Gotta do my part for society even though it couldn't give two fucks about me if it was forced to by law.

@howtophil @georgetakei Not even frugality, really, just not replacing things that aren't broken yet.

@BruceMirken @georgetakei Why? The Capitalist End Game of course! ☺️

@mr_greeb @georgetakei Just wait until the media discovers *dental hoarding*. I've had some of these crowns for 40 years.

@mr_greeb @georgetakei tool hoarding is a real problem somr of us have to face you insensible fig /joke

@GGMcBG I hope they pass pine *cones*. The big, jagged ones.

@CaptMorgan @georgetakei The CEG…

@CaptMorgan @georgetakei The economy will shrink anyway. Capitalism is basically over because it only works as long as there is growth, but there is no way the economy can even stay at its current size because we're running out of resources. Nobody can save the capitalist economic model, no matter what they try. Whatever kinds of economies may exist in the future, the type of market economies we used to have will just cease to function, there's nothing we can do about that.
Either we create some kind of socialist post-market economies, or we fall back to Medieval systems with guilds in the cities and feudal lords ruling the countryside.
I think the West isn't going to make it, we will just implode. It's countries like Vietnam and China that still have a chance, but they will probably collapse as well, only much more gently in a slow decline. The new systems that take over the world will come from the least developed places on this planet where people aren't burdened by all the systems and all the infrastructure that used to work in the past, it will be the tinkerers and inventors in small remote African and Latin American villages who build the future while the rest of the world falls apart.

@stevenaleach @georgetakei isn't there something like that with much older Wi-Fi networks, where a “b” device on a “b/g/n” network would make the whole network use the slower standard? But I do feel like that has not been an issue for quite some time…

@stevenaleach @georgetakei My electric car will last me until the end of my life because I only drive 2000 miles per year. I am old but even if I were a lot younger it would outlast me.

@Npars01 @georgetakei This is similar to one of the justifications for return-to-office policies, which is that retailers in city downtowns need office workers to buy their stuff. Workers are supposed to spend their own money to prop up other businesses.
