They want atlas shrugged. Fine then, go live on mars with 20 billionaires with 0 skills and see how that works without your slave labor force. Please try it. Please.
I’d put all my money on a bet that says any billionaire with their record wiped and reset to $0 wouldnt be able to hold down a minimum wage job for a year.
Oh, some of them would be heading to Mars with a legion of grunts to do all their work. Tons of idolizing morons who’d gleefully sign up to basically be slaves for their Dear Leader. Especially Musk. His cult of fanatics are just absurd.
I hated that book, I decided to read it because I heard so much about ot and it’s fucking stupid. It creates a society that doesn’t functionally work because the government requires businesses to share their intellectual properties, I think i read 2/3 of it and just couldnt. Who is John Galt? He’s just some man who decided that the rich business leaders needed to live away from society. It feels like the book idolized these people while the people in question heat had the money to buy the ideas they needed to succeed. Ayn Rand has decent ability to articulate her ideas, Atlus Shrugged is just not it.
I read The Fountainhead my first year in college and thought it was fantastic. Then I recovered from the flu and lost my virginity and thought “what the fuck did I just read?”
The problem with conservatives is their brains never matured beyond 8 years old.
See post: “the army should handle protesters because they have more power than police” OK, youre 8. “I wanna have 12 kids and live on a big farm when I grow up!” Of course you do, youre 8. Etc.

You’re spot on. My sister loves elon. I’m like “Why do you love a nazi?” And she’s like “he’s not a nazi!!! blahblahblah”
Two weeks later he does the nazi salute twice on camera.
Again I say, please do

I read it, thought it was a good idea when I was a dumbass kid, then realized no, that doesn’t work at all. Plus rand died on welfare so.

To be fair, patents were originally supposed to document your invention publicly in exchange for giving you seven years of exclusivity.
Now it’s a patent on a button on a website and you can beat people with licensing for decades.
