What About "Market Forces"? OR Socialism for Duchebags


Bankers can't possibly afford NYC on a mere $500K/year
(Boingboing/NYT).

When it comes to creative people we hear all about market forces. Hey, I never expected a free lunch (although I get lots of free appetizers). The gov't should issue these bums a used bike, some milk crates and some futons off of Craigslist and call it a day. Get a real job, mac!

The alternative could be to arm their children with bamboo rods and go for an old fashioned Cultural Revolution.

Mao was a hypocritical asshole (like these incompetent capitalists) , but let's not throw out all of his ideas. Some of them might work very well when it comes to these 500k a year wonderboys.

Let A Thousand Flowers Bloom. And then, as usual, cut them down for fertilizer.
