1. I admit I'm slightly high right now, but I clicked on your post thinking

I was going to see Kurt Cobain.
Never mind.

[LuckyCharms]

2. How high are you? Hi! How are you?

[skylucy]

9. Hi. I'm pretty high. How are you?

[LuckyCharms]

11. I'm not high, unfortunately...

but I'm doing well, thank you.

[diva77]

3. sorry - did not mean for post to be clickbait; maybe I'll uncapitalize "Nirvana" to help!

[skylucy]

8. Lol. No, you should leave it as it is! It's good...It smells like teen spirit...

which is much nicer than what Trump and his groupies smell like.

[diva77]

10. gluttony stinks, doesn't it!!

[rusty quoin]

13. Best post ever

[skylucy]

37. ...

[True Dough]

27. You see any diamonds up there, Lucy?

[Matthew28]

4. Like

.Alabama

but worse!

No safetynet
two classes
1. The elite
2. The poor
The poor probably couldn't afford education, healthcare or much of anything

So Maybe a mixture of North Korea, Somalia and Alabama in one package.

6. seems like there's no end to it!

5. Once America devolves into a serfdom with legal slavery they might be content.

[diva77]

7. I guess that's what the "global" economy is already

[world wide wally]

12. It looks exactly like Dickens' "A Christmas Carol" or Oliver Twist... most Dickens' novels

Two classes only: The aristocracy and the working class poor

[rusty quoin]

14. It is worse.

I read lots of Dickens. And Thom Hartmann has a good point.

You say there were only 2 classes, but that was not true. There were 3 and Scrooge was the middle. The lawyers who did devious things in Dickens novels were middle class.

The one thing about Dicken’s Novels was about the middle class or those trying to be middle class would be willing to do against everyone else for the favor of the ruling class.

I think Dickens kicks ass. He understood these bastards.

[world wide wally]

15. I actually knew that but I didn't want to get into the whole schmear. Yes, Scrooge was middle class

with a goal of being aristocracy. Like Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell (I stand corrected)

[Straw Man]

16. Feudalism.

Except without the concept of noblesse oblige, which was a polite fiction anyway, but at least it made the rich pretend to give a shit about the "less fortunate," or anybody else, for that matter.

[duforsure]

17. They won't be happy until...

They have it all. But after the 2018 elections when WE do take back the House and Senate what they won't like is if they create a Commission led and held by only women to investigate all sexual misconduct against women ,and those abusing their powers to protect themselves with from being held accountable by threatening them, or against false claims from women who go after someone in our government falsely , and hold them accountable to. Many names come to mind to be the head of such a group, but one really sticks out that would do a great job, and that is Sally Yates. Just a thought. She demonstrated not only her courage to stand up to corruption and our national security, but also showed she has the intellect, and capability to be be just and fair, and has a very impressive background.

[diva77]

26. Great idea about Sally Yates - I'd like to see her in higher office while doing this

[SamKnause]

18. Have you seen the movie Elysium ???

[Orrex]

21. No one has seen the movie Elysium.

I'm not even sure that Matt Damon has seen it.

Everyone who saw Elysium could fit in a Smart Car along with everyone who saw Chappie.

[diva77]

25. LOL!! I wasn't in that Smart Car, I guess!

[diva77]

29. I looked it up - sounds like we're headed that way if we don't resist with every fiber

[dalton99a]

19. Something like this

[2naSalit]

23. DING DING DING!!!

Thread winner!

[Orrex]

20. When they literally own everyone else, then that will start to be enough for them.

[logosoco]

22. Let's give them ALL the money and start on own system.

F**k the Federal Reserve. Power to the people!

[2naSalit]

24. There is

no such thing that has, does nor ever will exist to satisfy them.

[CrispyQ]

28. 21st Century Feudalism - that's the goal.

Leisure time & nice things will be for the elite only. The rest of us will work 24x7x365 until we drop. I haven't seen a more craven GOP congress in my lifetime.

[diva77]

31. The corporations that are registered offshore but pretend to be American are able to

escape US labor laws, such as number of hours/day worked - -- those offshore accounts aren't just for tax evasion, IMHO -- so I believe you're not far off with your words...

[gratuitous]

30. In a word, "more"

Like the Edward G. Robinson character in Key Largo, these gangsters want more. When they get more, they want . . . more.

[diva77]

32. it's like a gambling addiction

[Irish_Dem]

34. Exactly, just like all other addictions.

No amount of the drug of choice is enough.

Putin is the richest man in the world, worth $600 billion and he still wants more.

[Irish_Dem]

33. No amount of money will ever be enough for them. They are money hoarders.

Money addicted.

[Locrian]

35. it will never be enough

The rich want to use their power to make everyone love them. Or at least bow down to them as authority (same thing for them love = you do everything I tell you w/o question)

Problem is - it will never work. You can never "win" with this - you just continue to create inequality and evil. And they wonder why they are not respected and "thanked" for ruling.

[babydollhead]

36. Greed is not self regulating. If it's never enough, it's never enough. n/t
