  • It’s basically a play on simulation theory.

    The idea is that we are all just coded into a simulation and everything around us is fake but since we’re built into the system there’s genuinely no way to prove that right or wrong.

    In the case of this comic, a bunch of people in the simulation manage to see proof of it being an actual simulation for the first time when they see someone manage to leave it… As a result they want to get out as well and fail their own attempts.






















  • If we stopped spending extreme amounts on military operations unrelated to the US then we would be able to lower our taxes easily.

    We also subsidize a lot of healthcare insurance companies so moving towards universal healthcare would ALSO lower our taxes Source

    (Here’s a yale study showing that it would save Americans $450 Billion per year: Yale study)

    Personally, I’m in favor of doing both of those but keeping our taxes exactly the same so we can use the extra money to either repay the national debt or fund a robust social services system that would give us significantly better living conditions overall (such as free lunches for kids in school and easy government assistance on housing).
