[Orange Wizard]

As someone who knows a number of rich people, most of them are of the persuasion that they got to their position by hard work, and anyone not in a similar position clearly hasn't been working hard enough. Which makes them very unhappy about any kind of tax system short of feudalism.

Words cannot describe how much I hate the business world.  I would seriously rather live as a hunter-gatherer in an uncivilized world than live day in and day out feeling such immense pressure to fight like rabid vermin over stupid petty numbers (solely for the benefit of people who don't know or care about us), knowing that the homelessness that may follow refusal to keep up the act is even harsher in our modern everything-is-owned-and-nothing-is-shared landscape than life as a hunter-gatherer ever was.  I'm overwhelmed with so much anger and hatred right now over all the bullshit.  Just because some trucking station failed to follow directions for a couple days in a row, and cost us $50 because of it.  And tomorrow is going to be a ridiculous shitload of stupid drama as a result.  Why haven't we burned it all fucking down yet?

Sure, burn it all down. What follows suit is usually portrayed romantically, but come on now. How ideal would the life of a hunter-gatherer be? And if you don't like that lifestyle, I urge you to unveil and execute perfect communism.

I don't think perfect communism will ever happen.  However, I think that some sort of system where there's a base amount of resource allocation that you can claim as needed, and trade with or give to others.  Businesses would be run and staffed by, you know, people who choose to run/work for businesses, who would, at most, get free products from that business as compensation....Hmh.  Must flesh out system more...
I think it miiiiight work.

To make it more current instead of crap dante the last one should be Hatredguy/notimportant

That guy is the 12 on the edgeometer

Nah, he'd be a thirteen. So edgy he even breaks the rules of the graph.

Claiming as needed is something that we all know will be abused.
Economic growth will never happen as nothing is ever funded, but rather that things form from thin air.

I know very little about macroeconomics, mind you. Take my thoughts with a grain of salt.

I know very little about economics in general.  So if anything, there needs to be more salt on my stuff than yours.

I hate my brain sometimes. Ugh.


@Laptisen: the "hunter-gatherer" life would certainly be more ideal than things are now.

Really?  The world can't SUPPORT that.

[Yoink]

It could with a fraction of the current human population. Obviously you have to kill most of 'em off first.

Meh, I like the luxuries of modern civilization. Medical care, the interwebs and books, mostly. And not having to be exposed to the nature as much.

[Yoink]

That's alright, the end will be quick and painless.

These would win me over if I actually got to spend more than 10% of my life enjoying them, and the other 90% wasn't crushing stress, depression, pressure, and anxiety.

As usual when I hit a roadblock, I'm doubting my ability to deliver a game that people will actually want to play all by my lonesome. I mean, just because I'm impressed with my own abilities doesn't mean other people will be, right? But then, games that don't look as good as mine does now have done well for their creators in the past. But then I don't even know if my game's going to be fun yet, because there's very little "game" to speak of at this point; just a whole bunch of ideas, some scene files and a player character that can pick items up. I wonder if quitting my day job so hastily was a mistake.

[Spehss _]

Tired from college. Don't want to go to sleep.

My body says "go to sleep you idiot" but my mind says "look at internets you idiot".
