    Everything in the solar system (even the Son) orbit around the center of mass of everything in the solar system. This epicenter is just outside of the Son, on the side that Jupiter is. So the Son wobbles by a little bit more than 1 of its radii.
















  • I’m getting tired of people putting survival over standing up to the system.

    That’s a pretty privileged position to take. “Hey you, poor person, you should die so I have the opportunity to benefit from the system changing.” Is that any different from what CEO was doing?

    Does a McDonalds worker lose anything by not turning the guy in?

    Yes, $50k.

    I’m not trying to justify it. I’m just pointing out that a year and a half salary is a pretty strong incentive. That is the opportunity to quit your job and not worry about money for a couple of months while you look for a better job. Whether you work at McDicks or Xitter, I understand the appeal of that. And I think a lot of people at least consider that.

    Maybe after a certain point even those trying to survive should share the blame for the negativity their contributions bring.

    This transaction feels like a bribe to keep the poors in check.

    I mean, yeah. That’s the whole point. But I still don’t blame the individuals that are also victims of the system.
