Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

The rules are simple:

The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
The comic must be a complete story.
If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
You may post comics from others or your own.
If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

I like my politics boring if it gets the job done and keeps improving and iterating on a better system.

Absolutely.

Of course, I try to stay aware that my ability to wait patiently for a better world is, in itself, a privilege.

There's wisdom in carefully iterating forward.

But billionaires also need something to help them focus on cooperation toward a better world. They need to believe in some non-zero chance that the fate of some person they stepped on could randomly suddenly become their own fate.

I don't have answers for how that happens, but history says it's almost never been pleasant for anyone concerned.

I don't know if we can all do better. I hope so.
