Good move. Call GovCo’s bluff.

Not really. They just didn’t have the same level of internet connectivity that we have now.

So they didn’t have as much information and couldn’t talk to each other the way people can now.

Yes. At least once documented. Probably many times more.

I drink instant coffee. Black.

ARE. OP is clearly very high right now.

Stagnant wages, weakened unions, at-will employment, low corporate taxes, etc. All Reaganomics. Supply side economics. Basically destroyed the economic powerhouse that won the Cold War. It’s still a goliath, but instead of an immovable industrial bullwark its all debt driven gambling now. Speculation and financialization.

Which is exactly why China is going to win. They play the long game where we only care about the next quarterly report. We drop bombs, they build schools and hospitals and install water wells. We trap countries into IMF loan scams, they give interest free loans.

We make mass graves. China makes friends.

Thank Reagan. He ended the Fairness Doctrine. Which is the only reason Trumpism ever happened.

Nah, we’re gonna balkanize sooner or later. Economy is fucked beyond fucked. (Thank you Reagan) It won’t be able to keep going. Especially not with republicans at the tiller. The end of the US will be the same as every other empire. But with nukes.

As it should.

Agreed 100%.

But no business in the capitalist world where selling ads is a billion dollar industry is going to make this available. In fact they’ll fight it tooth and nail. All the way to the SCOTUS if they have to.

That would be glorious.

But you’d definitely have to jailbreak your device and sideload it somehow.

Or pay to import one from a country where the govt doesn’t give a damn about piracy if it ever gets made.

Nothing is built to last. Not in the customer class of products in the capitalist world. Basically, if you can buy it retail, it’s made to sell. Not to last. Planned obsolescence included at no extra cost.

What’s the explain? The sitch is in the title.

You play as a strapped squirrel.
