Hello Kitty
February 6, 2013 at 9:52 am
The makers of the game Monopoly, based on popular vote have made a new token in the shape of a kitty cat. In other news, meh.......

Did anyone else suck at that game like I did?

Lefties like me don't understand capitalism. I enjoy the game though.

Monopoly is sure more left capitalism than what we currently have. There's a luxury tax and rich people can go to jail.

Capitalism is NOT a form of government. Gaddaffi was a billionaire who owned stock in GE. China's communist government capitalizes off making cheap crap and slave wages and sells their crap to the rest of the world.

The correct term should be "open vs closed" markets. Basically fascism is when ANYONE monopolizes political and economic resources. They still have to make money and keep it to keep power.

But I am not against wealth by itself, just abuse of power. And it always takes money to keep power.

I agree. Globally I think the ubur rich, not as a conspiracy but as a climate, do not realize enough how much of the rest of the world they are fucking over. Otherwise this last tripple wammy should have landed lots of people in jail.

That and I think there are a few people up top who are probably, literally, psychopaths and because of that they don't care that they're hurting the rest of the worlds economy as long as they stay wealthy. Everyone else is just following their lead because it works.

I can't help but think, if they're going to do a modern Monopoly, can't they replace railroads (that nobody in the US uses) with airlines?

I was never good at Monopoly. Either I'd 'invest unwisely', as the tabloids might put it, or I'd feel sorry for other players who might be losing badly. I make a shit capitalist.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'
