  That wouldn’t detonate a claymore.

  The more I look at the image, the more terrifyingly genius it becomes.

  The laser tripwires in video games are a visual stand-in for good ol’ boring metal tripwires which a claymore can actually use. The tripwire moving around it’s housing changes the circuit state inside the electric blasting cap and off comes the wall of deadly balls.

  But you don’t need to tripwire. You can remote detonate.

  Or for the purposes of the meme, Alexa can time when to detonate. Just needs a little camera to see when and wire leads into the claymore’s blasting cap to deliver the electric triggering…

  This isn’t a meme. It’s theory…

  Does anyone know an old appliance salesman who used to sell other things back in old country? Asking for a friend.

  Mate, I hear ya. Everything you said has many kernels of truth in it, but it doesn’t invalidate what the commenter you’re replying to, is trying to tell you.

  There will not be enough workers to support us in old age.

  This is precisely, why it’s important to badger and force representatives into the exact same discussion about changes to the bill, as the OOP’s shared article touches upon.

  You first raise the cap, so the millionaires who are temporarily embarrassed billionaires pay their fair share, and once those loud mother fuckers get used to it, they’re now on your side to keep pushing it up until it hits the owner class.

  Productivity gains ain’t decreasing, and the automation that the labor class toiled to make a reality for these fuckheads, shouldn’t have all of its production gain remain as profit for the owners

  Can already hear you making

  This implies preemptive assumptions on my part. I could be wrong. You stated facts, true.

  If that is the extent of your stance on the topic, then that portion of my comment is irrelevant, and needlessly combative.

  Not that I’m apologizing for it, these are not the times for that.

  Absolutely true. Also just like, fundamentally bullshit, and perfectly reasonable to consider expansion of the cap.

  Those currently over the cap reap outsized benefits borne from the labor of those who don’t make the cap. That’s how they fucking made it, above the cap.

  There is no moral turpitude in taxing them to fund a social net they won’t directly use, because they’ve been indirectly benefitting from it all along.

  The piddling argument I can already hear you making, gets even more ridiculous when you scale past the professionally licensed professions and get into pure capitalists.

  This is a compromise being offered, in lieu of the buffet table, and of course they’re gonna be too fucking stupid to accept it because the morons forgot the bread part and all they got left is their shitty circus.

  Goddammit, fine. I will go to the next reunion, and I will bring chicken for the lads, for old time’s sake.
