So I just read Bill Gates' 1976 Open Letter To Hobbyists, in which he whines about not making more money from his software. You know, instead of being proud of making software that people wanted to use. And then the bastard went on and made proprietary licences for software the industry standard, holding back innovation and freedom for decades. What a douche canoe.

as someone who recently escaped the labor trap (that is what capitalists call it...wages are suppressed for a reason...), the shift from needing to work and not is...profound.

no wonder so many rich cunts are batshit psychopaths, nobody born into $ can ever truly know this feeling of relief (and the resulting stress, just from your brain leaving "survival mode"...hierarchy of needs stuff, then realizing just how fucked everything is, how powerless you still are even as new-rich to change anything...)
