I'll write my prediction here, so in a few years I'll have a proof that I said it:
Charles Wesley Godwin is gonna become a fucking big one of the alt #country scene in less than 3 years.
I said the same with Colter Wall around 4 years ago, but got nothing to show for it.
Sometimes I wish there was some kind of way to invest or bet on musicians...

@Pat We have gotten tot he point where the semantics are just too polluted.. You are still calling it a UBI and arguing that it avoids administrative costs, but then effectively not implementing a UBI at all and only giving it to the 20% lowest class of society, which means you havent avoided the administrative costs at all, your back to needing a means test and all the administration of traditional ways. So right off the bat you destroyed the one argument for UBI you could have had."
Second redefining tax as being on all money passing hands and increasing the taxable number figure 10 fold only serves to make the percentage appear lower when in fact its still costing the average american in dollars and cents the same amount in taxes as if 10% were taxed witht he current system.. .so while it create a nice small number by the sound of it in reality it changed nothing. You are still talking about taking 10% out of everyones income to support it, 5% if you dont do UBI at all and just target the 20% poor but then that 5% goes back up since its not a UBI and you have admin costs so its probably closer to 7% or 8% of everyones entire income to pay for it. Getting the tax from other means doesnt lower the amount of tax coming out of peoples pockets so that is a moot and confusing distortion of the situation.

I agree with Freemo. The problem is not capitalism in general but its contemporary laissez-faire, neoliberal and crony capitalist forms. In the George Monbiot article linked in Ian's previous tweet, most if not all of his proposals, including the wealth tax and the idea of public luxury and private sufficiency, are quite compatible with social democracy, and thus with some form of capitalism.
In my opinion, the meme itself is more likely to alienate than convince, because while some people will associate the use of the word "capitalism" solely with the aforementioned forms, others will associate the use with any system involving some private ownership of capital. The people who are undecided on the matter of climate change action will be more likely to have the latter association, and will be more likely to recoil at the meme than agree with it.
#capitalism is not...
* ... large corporations
* ... greed
* ... the rich taking advantage of the poor
* ...unfair labor wages
capitalism is...
*... fair market prices determined by value
*... markets that are not and can not be manipulated
*... fair wages for fair work based on the value contributed
*... poor people having equal chance as rich to market their skills
*.... a free market, a fair market.

Here I sit, broken hearted,
Tried to shit, but only farted.
Could be worse, you must admit,
than if you try to fart and instead you shit.
The memes from biden shitting himself during the visit to the pope is gold.

If you use Spacemacs here is a fairly generic cheat sheet I wrote a while back that covers pretty much ever major subject. Enjoy.

Pro tip: For those of us that dont eat very healthy keep some emergency salad and cucumbers around just in case. If you feel a heart attack coming on just consume your emergency stash of veggies and youll be as good as new and save yourself a hospital bill too!
