I can only hear this in Professor Farnsworth's voice.

Best part about Rand is how she died on welfare.

[–] adroidBalloon@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

it really is the best end to her awful story

[–] yogthos@lemmy.ml 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It basically invalidates her whole ideology and utterly discredits her. I'll take it as a win.

[–] adroidBalloon@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

i don't know if i'd go that far-- maybe just that she died a sad hypocrite. but it does undermine her credibility quite a bit. i'd say that anyone with even a basic education in economics could totally discredit her, though.

from what I remember reading, she not only was never really good with money, but she was also a bit out of it in her final years, so her husband was managing her/their finances. he had been receiving and depositing her social security checks for years (and possibly some medicare benefits), but she wasn't actually aware of it. IIRC, it came out later when he was interviewed about her.

There are 6 other panels in that comic that provide context

[–] fedfedfedd@lemmy.ml -4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yeah im grasping the concept. What about you?

[–] ethan@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

Well the concept isn’t “kill people who invest in machines” so between that and the part where you literally said you didn’t “get it” I’m guessing you aren’t actually grasping anything.
