    Too bad Earth evolution went the Competition route, not the Cooperative one.

    The search for intelligent life continues.

    A repeat, but a maddeningly relevant one.

    Just sharing seems logical. But Capital says otherwise.

    But the fish do seem happy. And so do the coconuts.

    Let’s try some socialism. Wait, is that another island in swimming distance that has Indigenous people living on it? Nevermind. I’ve got a new idea… >:^}

    Well, if we just let the billionaires keep it, that will conclusively disprove that ‘trickle-down’ theory.

    Give a man a fish, and he eats for a day.

    Teach a man to fish, and he eats for a lifetime.

    Claim ownership of all the fish, hire the man to catch them, and sell him back the fruits of his labor at a profit, that’s capitalism!

    so why doesn’t the fisherman just trade the coconut guy for coconut milk? Seems the only guy with all three is the hut guy

    Some people keep saying: “There’s going to be a recession”. Lots of people quit spending in order to have enough money to make it through a recession. Then the drop in spending causes businesses to cut back, which (surprise, surprise) causes a recession. Self fulfilling prophecy, and the original screamers look like oracles.
