This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

It's the neoliberal fever dream that unregulated market mechanisms can build a better world. It's the socioeconomic theory that unfettered psychopathy is a guiding light, and the high priests of this religion pray the light at the end of the tunnel isn't a train. (Or that they died wealthy of old age before things ever got too bad for them.)
