Since according to Bill Ackman the presence of a place you can buy eggs without a 100% markup is going to plunge NYC instantly into a Mad Max / Escape from New York style hellscape, what gangs are we all joining?

Personally I’m thinking the one of slightly sexy cultists who worship bodega cats.

How about you comrades?

    Funny. Everyone wants to be all “people will blame capitalism when bad things happen” but then can’t understand that the problems they’re worried about would literally only happen because of capitalism. Ugh, liberals.

      Yeah, but once Zohran’s New York falls they’ll all be hiding in a fortified version of the New York Public library, using the books for heat instead of knowledge, and surviving on pigeon meat from the rooftops. Them broadcasting printed out Reddit posts via the emergency alarm system will be annoying but they won’t be much threat anymore.

        using the books for heat instead of knowledge

        Yep, that tracks for your average liberals.

        Bunch of terrified liberals hiding in a fortified public library, burning the books for heat, eating the pigeons, and blasting out annoying nonsense over emergency broadcasting, claiming it’s Red Dawn out there, while sane people are enjoying a socdem doing a few decent things… that’d make a good story. And sounds about right for post Red Scare Americans.

      Smh you commies want to blame capitalism for all your problems just because it’s the system creating all the problems, while free thinkers like me know it’s actually a secret marxist trans cabal or something.

        Of course capitalism can’t be at fault for everything, that’d be too obvious! Blame the trans people and the commies, they make you feel icky so they must be the cause of your problems! All the conservative populists say so! It’s not class war, it’s obviously queer folks who are the dangerous minority, not the top 1%!
