      Because early bird gets the worm (monopoly over houses) and then beggars can’t be choosers

      As a landlord, can I ask you what are you doing online? You still have money to pay your Internet bill? That’s it! From next month I’m rising the month y’all don’t need all this luxuries

    Yes and no. Fascist governments aren’t pointing their guns at big companies.

      The point is that either way, the US government has the corporations “life” in its hands. If they go down, the Fortune 500 bailouts stop. That’s when the gun goes off.

      Idk maybe you’re misinterpreting it

      People are paycheck to paycheck. We have no recourse.

      Landlords are month to month. They’ll consume us if they need to make things work.

      The banks live bailout to bailout at this point. They’ll consume landlords if they need to make things work.

      The government lives war to war. They’ll consume banks die if they can’t find other people that they’re stronger than who are playing a similar game with their banks, landlords, and people.

      This is why we must consume the rich.

      The meme is from person of Interest. A good police procedural from the point of view of a vigilante and his hacker boss.
