    It’s flippant but I still consider it a valid indictment of capitalism that it elevated these inexplicably moist looking psychopaths to positions of terrifying power.

      Seriously. Why do they all look so wet all the time? Countless millions of dollars spent on “anti-aging” blood rituals so this late-50’s man can look like: a late-50’s man who’s perpetually damp. Money well spent, Pete.

          As someone with experience in this field, it’s not the speed, it’s the staying up for days at a time and not showering or brushing your fucking teeth. But he doesn’t have that greasy “I haven’t slept or showered in three days” sheen. He looks positively wet. It’s weird.

              I mean he is one of the most vile people I have ever seen. Musko doesn’t have shit on Thiel. Dude is literally a fucking vampire. And not just in the old-timey “vampires are a metaphor for the wealthy draining the life-blood of the people by stealing their wealth” kind of way. Dude literally gets blood transfusions from “the young” so he can “live longer.” Are demons generally described as wet though?

      Seriously. You know what I’d do if i had all the money in the world? No, it’s actually not the Office Space answer, it’s get every goddamn degree that ever existed. That’s how I’d spend my free time. I’d start with the engineering degrees and branch out from there in between building zany inventions, because that’s what a goddamn human does.

        The accumulations of the billionaires - our stolen surplus value - and it rots in bank accounts. Meanwhile if we steal money we spend it and it goes right back to Mickey Ds and Kroger and Vons and Walmart
