 I almost said "did you know chickens don't always know which eggs they're
 sitting on? They pretty much just share spots and keep all of the flock's eggs
 warm"
 
 but then I realized I should first say "did you know that chickens sit on eggs
 to keep warm" and I got a little sad because... chickens...

 alright I'm in a "if you want me, come tell me" kind of mood, so if you want
 me, come tell me.
 
 in the meantime, I'm going to be working on making silly little desktop games
 which do nothing and mean nothing and are not useful or valuable in any way.

 I feel that frugality and productivity should be valued in equal regard.
 
 A person who conserves should be valued just the same as a person who
 progresses.
 
 Yet we find ourselves in a capitalist system which demands the production of
 dollars to spend on rent, mortgages, groceries, bill payments,
 land-value-taxes, and all the other things besides.
 
 Would it not be better to ensure the grovetender has a space to sleep? The
 recycler has enough to eat?
 
 What of the mothers? Their children are their charges, they should worry less
 about financials.
 
 What of the artists? Their visions and imagined creations are worth more than
 their time working at a bank or a grocery store.
 
 Open source programming is the bedrock of all technology. It is not rewarded.
 
 There are countless examples besides. Give people the means to produce and they
 will - give people the means to maintain and they will.
 
 Currently, people have the means for neither. Only corporations and the few
 with wealth have the means to produce or conserve - everyone else just works in
 their sweatshops.

 when they say "capitalism is a competitive game" what they mean is "capitalism
 is a game where everyone wins when someone else loses" and what we hear is
 "capitalism is a game of trying to screw you out of as much money as possible"
 and the truth is "capitalism is a game that you can't play" because 95% of the
 people who will read this toot are not stock-owners.
