We need to keep poor people poor to keep labour costs down.

If we cause a recession poor people will happily work 70 hours a week for the same pay. They’ll finally appreciate what we do for them by letting them work at our companies that they subsidise with their taxes

[Billionaire Taylor] Swift, who has publicly aligned herself with the pro-choice movement and declared her opposition to former President Donald Trump, has become the ire of a vocal group of conservatives hell-bent on the bizarre notion that the singer is a political weapon aimed at the upcoming presidential election.

I mean, I'm no Swiftie, but that seems pretty reasonable to me...

What? You think Taylor Swift exists? That's president Biden in drag.

Alright, I'll bite - I'm a soil scientist, and yeah, people make good fertilizer. Our C:N ratios are low (meaning evenish balance of carbon and nitrogen) and we have a lot of calcium and phosphorus in us too, relatively speaking. Some of the P is quickly available, the rest is in our bones (with Ca) and given their low surface area and relative stability, its really slowly released. But hey, if you grind those orphans up, yields will increase faster!

I'm on a fucking list now aren't I?

Is that why they call mass graves potter's fields?

[–] Track_Shovel 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

No, that's a twist of the word pauper, which is a destitute person (archaic word)

A more profitable modest proposal

I mean, what else are we going to do with the bodies of child laborers, bury them?

Hey I finally understand the nuances of meaning of that expression... it's dangerous, it's ugly and it smells.. Never quite understood the expression before looking at this picture. Thanks
