Welcome to the Rigged Game, Losers — Let’s Burn the Rulebook

So here we are.

Working ourselves into early back pain, paying 30–50% of our income in taxes, dodging potholes the size of bathtubs, and still being told by the system, “Thanks for your service, peasant. Now get back in line.”

Meanwhile, Jeff Bezos is joyriding in a rocket shaped like a billionaire’s midlife crisis, and your city workers can’t even be bothered to put up a “Road Closed” sign while six of them stand around scratching themselves like they're on break from a medieval fiefdom.

Let’s be honest — we are in an abusive relationship with the system.
And we keep showing up, paying bills, and calling it “adulthood.”

⚖️ The Legal System: Rich People’s Playground

You steal a sandwich? That’s petty theft.
They steal your pension? That’s a consulting fee.
You miss a payment? Hello, collections.
They commit fraud? Oh wow, innovation!

Let’s just admit it: there’s capitalism for the poor, socialism for the rich, and criminal immunity for anyone with a yacht.

If you can’t afford a $3,600/hr lawyer? You're not getting justice — you're getting processed. The legal system doesn’t care about “right or wrong.” It cares about billable hours and whose name is on the building.

🧪 Want to Run for Office? Great. Pass the Damn Test.

If one needs 600 hours of certification to be a hairstylist, you should need more than a smile and a slogan to run a country.
Here’s the starter pack for all political candidates:

• Ethics exam.
• IQ test.
• Basic economics and civics test.
• Proof of actual service work — and no, chairing a gala doesn’t count.
• Psych eval to screen out narcissists.

If you score too high on the “I love the sound of my own voice” index? Congratulations, you’re disqualified.

And every campaign should be publicly funded. No corporate sugar daddies. No Super PACs. No yachts named “Democracy.”

🛠️ Government Jobs: Not a Damn Vacation

Ever dealt with public service? You go in needing a permit and leave needing therapy.

I watched city workers around here literally not bothering to put up a road closure sign. Just a bunch of guys standing around and chit-chatting. You can literally see your hard-earn dollars forked over in taxes flushed away with obvious disrespect - not only of the workers but their supervisors and city officials. Meanwhile, you pay for it — with taxes and lost time.

Here’s the fix:

• Live service ratings. You get rated by citizens.
• Performance audits. You work or you go.
• Accountability dashboards. If Starbucks tracks baristas, City Hall can track who forgot the sign or a traffic cone.

💰 Universal Basic Income: For People, Not Corporations

UBI isn’t about “getting paid to do nothing.” That’s already what the ultra-rich do.
They just call it “passive income.”

You know what’s passive? Being born rich and acting like you earned it.

UBI should:

• Go to those below a reasonable income threshold. (Not billionaires. Or rich. Or even 50%-ers. Obviously.)
• Include children. Feeding a kid shouldn’t be a luxury.
• Cover the basics. Food, rent, dignity. Period.

If we can afford corporate bailouts every 3 years and subsidize Elon Musk's spaceship selfies, we can afford to make sure people don’t starve.

🧨 Bottom Line: The System Works — Just Not for You

You’re not crazy for being exhausted.
You’re not lazy for being broke.
You’re not a “radical” for wanting basic fairness.
You’ve just been stuck in a rigged game — where the rich start at Level 5, the connected never fall below Level 8, and the rest of us are out here grinding just to avoid falling into the basement.

It’s time to stop begging for scraps and start writing new rules.

We don’t need more performative politicians.
We need worker politicians, transparent systems, and laws that apply to the yacht class and the bus pass class alike.

Let’s stop asking for justice.
Let’s build it, enforce it, and tax the hell out of anyone who thinks they’re too big to follow it.

Signed,
Another Boondock Rebelle
(tired, taxed, and done being polite)
