    Capitalism is like a program with a glitch. Resources are distributed based on capital. But capital is a resource. So theres a feedback loop of the people with the most capital gaining more and more capital.

      The glitch is a memory leak and the lack of necessary shared resources causes the whole system to slowly, eventually and completely crash.

        The guillotine is a fantastic garbage collector, but it seems to trigger randomly. I’ll raise a bug report.

          Then we must have had a feature regression for a few hundred years, because I haven’t seen a guillotine GC trigger for a very long time now.

      I often think of it like blood. Blood has to be continually flowing for a body to live. It’s right and natural that there should be more of it in some places than others. The parts of the body that work the hardest usually need a lot of blood. But if blood starts pooling anywhere, you’ve got a problem. Or really, you’ve got two problems: there’s not enough blood everywhere else and the blood in the pool turns sour.

      Nah, taxation and distribution via social programs and infrastructure development are supposed to be the balance, but the devs only listened to the power gamers and removed the game balance in their benefit while ignoring the actual player base.
