This is what a dynasty at its end looks like. They've expanded to the point they can't expand anymore. The need to find a meaning to the empire creates bureaucracy so large it becomes a burden to live through. The emperor has no real power, and his servants make all the decisions. It goes like this until it is stretched thin and some small pinprick is too much. Then a new leader takes over, destroys the bureaucracy and expands things greater. If he can't, then a new leader takes over or the country fragments.

I said it somewhere else, but if we're to use historical examples, we're probably more at the end of the Roman Empire than the Republic, and the question now is whether we contract and are consumed like the Western Empire, or fracture and continue to bear the torch as the Eastern.

It's probably going to be both. The countries will splinter, but our connections and networks will expand.

Tell us, oh great AlfredicEnglishRules, how can we use the power of money laundering to avoid a horrible fate?

First off, that's the first time anyone has referenced my videos. It's kind of a cool feeling.

I think money laundering is probably part of the reason why we are here. So many companies haven't been making money, but had to appear to be expanding that it fractured the system.

But, using constantly changing technology to stay one step ahead of the opponent while using under networks to get people involved is likely the answer. Something I've noticed about most up and coming tech is how easily it is infiltrated and used to spread various things. So, following the idea without drugs or various other illegal things is quite possible.

Infiltration and fake companies would make an interesting response. Make a bunch of companies that appear to be making a lot of money. Talk about all the people hired, and games sold. Then have big controversy and promise to hire more people. Remember, said company doesn't actually exist and makes no money. Hire a bunch of people on, and keep them fairly satisfied, but never meet the 'boss'. Said boss is just a made up NVidia character who looks real, but is purely AI in voice and looks. Have more controversy, and make sure to have fake news companies talk about it.

Just have this entire tempest in a tea pot, and keep slugging away until people think of this company, websites and others as real. Reveal one thing isn't real, by another fake company and website, and keep doing this.

At this point have people scared to even look for a job, and constantly questioning what is real. By this point the media and others are too caught up in the story to stop it, and that's when they get infiltrated at HR and other places where the jobs could be fairly automated and done by a single guy with a nice enough rig. Slowly do this as each company is infiltrated over and over again until the majority of the company, are not real.

By this point those in power believe they have control, and know what is going on. Then you send them various messages and other things about sales and insider info for companies that don't exist. Within 2-3 years, the big companies are being run on automation, and no one realizes it. Then release everything for free, or a free version. Just keep at it till there is no point for the elite to exist.

That's when the companies begin to have big uproars and lose money and disappear. Shots of people emptying desks, and other ideas. Even protests at places most people don't think about. Have the elite spend all of their money to control and satiate said people.

Then slowly each company and news site disappears, or shows that it was run by one guy and his computer. The entire banking establishment and everything run by a few people who have good rigs, and have released all of their products for free through the Salty Sea Air.

Then foreclose on the houses bought with fake money by fake companies for CEO's and other such folks who have such power. Watch them scramble, but never act like you know what is going on. Blame it on other members of the Elite playing a game. Have them kill each other. Have them tear their own money away, and reveal the evil within as a way to save themselves from retribution. Let them all live, but without power and network.

Meanwhile, the network that was made is in power is just nerds doing nerd stuff. Watch as countries realize the majority of it was automated, or that no one actually works at various acronyms.

Nothing burns, no one dies, but the world itself is allowed to change.

In any medium + sized business anyone who isn't a white man can't be fired for cause without basically bribing them not to sue you. It has been that way since at least the 90s.

That is why there are mass firings where some low performing or internally disliked white men are sacrificed so the dead weight can be trimmed without triggering discrimination lawsuits.

Had an interesting experience interviewing candidates for a technical job a few weeks back. Probably would have done great in the job but I sense I may have dodged a bullet.

Video interview starts and she's got light neon green problem glasses. No other red flags. A bit haughty as the interview goes on so I like to push buttons to test people out when I see smoke. So I've pushed a little here and there just to get hackles up a bit. I then inform her, as I do all female candidates, that this is a male dominated workplace, as some might be uncomfortable with that. She says very snippily "Will that be a problem" and I respond very matter-of-factly "Not if I hire the right candidate". Hehe, I could tell that clenched her cheeks.

Anyway, I did end up offering it to her but, as I sensed based on the give and take, she turned it down.

So you offered her the job anyways, and the only reason she didn’t become a leftist landmine at your place of work is that she decided not to be one. If she had been 1% more insidious, you might have a gigantic problem on your hands.

You should have nixed her the moment you saw the glasses.

I do have to have to refrain from irrational bias, and I did not see enough to warrant not hiring, especially when two others were in the session and aren't going to necessarily see what I see. I'm just sharing an anecdote and will stick with my decades of hiring experience, thanks.
