minus-squareAbsurdly Stupid @lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4arrow-down7·7 days ago OH SHUT THE FUCK UP WITH YOUR “FINITE” RESOURCES BULLSHIT. No matter how much you scream, it will still be true. You can’t yell and curse it away. Money is finite, even if we made it up. Everyone can’t have everything.
