That’s a version of Yellowjackets I’d actually enjoy watching.
I prefer my billionaires to be sacrificed to The One Who Stirs Under the Mountain. We must keep the The One Who Stirs Under the Mountain content.
What’s with the orcas?
they flipped a yacht
Several, but more. Importantly, they developed a “game” where teenage teach other teenage Orcas they can sink them. Is about their solidarity against these money pits.
And a CEO drowned?
No CEOs died as far as I know. The orcas were unfortunately targeting smallish sailboats, not CEO yachts.
don’t think so. The golden rule for orcas it to never kill a human

Seriously, we have multiple economists saying the only way out of this fine mess (and to save the world) is to massively redistribute the wealth at the top to the rest of the population.
Yeah, as someone studying economics, I agree
Having a small group of people hoarding the money is bad actually
I’m an economist (I have a degree and everything. It’s in underwater basket weaving but it’s still a degree) and I say this. My cool brother has a degree in linguistics and yells at people that he has a degree in economics and says the same thing too
To be fair, when I took Economics 101: Macroeconomics in 1985, there was a big point about how important it was to maintain a fairly even wealth distribution, with a discussion of how it is a very bad thing™ for all the wealth to consolidate at the top. (In the meantime, Reagan was gutting all the policies that were used to keep wealth distributed and preserve a strong middle class.) So this is something that anyone who took a basic college course should know.
In time, I got confused that presidents and legislators kept pushing supply side (trickle-down) economics and kept passing laws that allowed the upper class to keep more of their money, while leaving the lower and middle classes to languish, when I was certain these officials were educated (or had experts who were) and should know better. Then I worked out that they are just captured and corrupt AF.
Piñata Economics 101:
Based pinãta economics pilled
We need another FDR and A new deal 2.0 at this point
This and anti-cyclical spending avoiding depressions are the only two real¹ predictions from the guy that basically invented macroeconomics.
No politician cares about either of them.
1 - Meaning about things people actually need, not money.
which dude who invented marco? because we have like three real schools of marco and then the austrians sitting around with they thumbs up they butts
because they scared of numbers
Keynes did it.
Not exactly in a cave… But in a military prison cell in China.
Money (power) corrupts and people with lots of money rarely want to part with it. Also, money protects money, so the rich often deal in the shadows to protect themselves from us.
Yeah, as someone studying economics, I agree

Ill take 50 fates please
God demands sacrifice
Luigi didn’t do anything though.
And that poor sub tried its best.
The live cam did nothing wrong. Its an objective observer.
The Orcas are simply accepting our terms of war.
As a representative of the Orcas, let me just say: There is a lot more surface of this planet that is water than there is land, a lot more.
… what… what are you proposing? Porpoising.
No it didn’t. Its best would have been to collapse above water
No, it’s best would have been to crush more rich people.
Stockton crush was such a failure, there was space for another 6-7 billionaires in that sub I reckon
W why we could have built such a submarine, we could crush six or seven BILLION billionaires
I agree with you on this lol
Moreover, the acoustic failure detection sensors seemed to have worked, but the process failed since they didn’t know what to look for since they didn’t do any testing.
Who is the shirtless guy?
Luigi Mangione.
He will go free as he didn’t do it, additionally the chain of custody was missing for the “proof” and was taken into custody with lots of circumstantional evidence, absolute police knee bent operation to please the Epstein elite.
Hell be free, then run for office and I’ll campaign the hell out of that, vote Luigi for senate, then president of the. US.
It couldn’t have been him, he was kicking my ass in Smash Bros when it happened.
Even if he didn’t do it, he is not going free. You think anyone is going to admit that they have the wrong guy? Not a chance.
I thought they said the evidence could be used, no?
A not-yet-convicted murderer. But because he’s handsome and killed an executive, we like him without any hint of moral irony. Even when he’s himself old money.
Tell me you’re an insurance company executive without telling me you’re an insurance company executive
People were happy about the killing of Brian Thompson the moment that news of his death spread. A health insurance CEO. A man who systematically denied healthcare to thousands of people, almost certainly leading to some of them dying.
You can say that murder is wrong, and be correct in that. But then surely being instrumental in running a system of denying and delaying people’s access to medical treatment leading to their death is so much worse that directly killing one person.
Precisely
not-yet-convicted murderer
Using lethal force to stop a mass murderer from continuing their spree isn’t murder.
Even if he’d done it (which he didn’t), it wouldn’t be murder, he should be given a public commendation, not a jail sentence.
I still believe he’s a look-alike scapegoat because they never found the actual guy who did it, but yeah go off I guess. Not like the CEO was responsible for millions of deaths himself but because it’s a ‘business’ he gets to be called an entrepreneur instead :)
I hope so. That means our morally good assassin is still out there
An executive whose job it is to increase profits by systematically denying care to vulnerable people. (which also causes death, and more of it)
Luigi was with me when that bitch got shot
I’d like the guy and think he is a hero even if he was ugly.
What’s up with the orcas? Am I missing something?
A specific pod of them was attacking yachts in the north Atlantic and training others to do the same last summer IIRC
Goddamn that’s so cool.
Heroes. How do I support their work?
Never stop believing
You could read “Orca’s Song” by David Zindell. He covers this from the Orca’s perspective!
No I don’t mean like awareness bullshit. I like their work and would like to do things that enable them to continue/expand. These are real (cetacean) people doing real work.
They’re not attacking billionaire yachts though, instead it’s small sailing boats. Some of those are probably owned by fairly rich people, but probably not that rich.
Still cool.
I assume a reference to orca attacking yachts: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iberian_orca_attacks
Orcas understand praxis.
I’m too dumb to actually understand this, but I can tell it’s funny from how it sounds.
What’s up with the guy on the right? I don’t know who that is.
Luigi Mangione. I don’t know why he’s there, this guy did nothing ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.
Right! All he did was enjoy a meal, a succulent McDonalds meal.
Then some cops showed up, and he yelled “THIS MAN TOUCHED MY PENIS!”
GENTLEMAN!
Truly DEMOCRACY MANIFEST!
Yeah and what sin did the submarine commit?
That submarine is a Goddamned saint!
Some guy I saw in Hawaii on 2024-12-04
That is our lord and saviour Luigi, looking ripped.
I’m jealous. Not because he’s ripped (which is cool too) but because he can walk around without a shirt and not having a bazillion mosquitos harvesting his blood.
takes your shirt off, and begins sucking on your nipple
What? Oh, this? No. I’m not sucking your blood. This is a whole other thing. Just go with it…
continues sucking nipple
That’s not my nipple.
Carry on,I’ve got nipples, Greg. Could you suck me?
Luigi Mangione, the alleged killer of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson.
Alleged ‘denier of not having bullets in his chest’ actually
Those are orcas
Times are bad. More sacrifices are needed.
This looks like something I’ve seen before, but I’m at a Loss
Hoping for a top 3 billionaire this year 😬
no one should be worth 1 trillion
I’ll cheer for fate when it starts pumping those numbers up. One a year? What rookie bullshit is this?
More than what we plebs seem to be doing about the parasite class, tbh.
Fair. My only reason for not doing more is that not enough people would join me to make it anything but a fancy way to commit suicide. Someone let me know when the vanguard starts to assemble!
It’s a really hot summer, does that mean it might be one of the big CEOs?
Luigi was in Nov/Dec though
4 December 2024. I remember because right after reading about it, I took my wife to her chemo appointment that had been repeatedly pushed back due to health insurance fuckery.
It’s always summer somewhere
