if you want to understand capitalism you just need to read Marx
and why they use 'Marxist' as an epithet, a boogeyman to scare you away from his lucid analysis

the crisis of over accumulation and the inescapable contradiction of capital accelerates with technological progress
Two economists just published a mathematical proof that AI will destroy the economy.
Not might. Not could. Will — if nothing changes.
The paper is called "The AI Layoff Trap." Published March 2, 2026. Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania. Boston University. Peer reviewed. Mathematically modeled.
The conclusion is one sentence.
"At the limit, firms automate their way to boundless productivity and zero demand."
An economy that produces everything. And sells it to nobody.
Here is how you get there.
A company fires 500 workers and replaces them with AI. A competitor fires 700 to keep up. Another fires 1,000. Every company is behaving rationally. Every company is following the incentives correctly. And every company is building a trap for itself.
Because the workers who were fired were also customers.
When they lose their jobs faster than the economy can absorb them, they stop spending. Consumer demand falls. Companies respond by cutting costs — which means automating more workers — which means less spending — which means more falling demand — which means more automation.
The loop has no natural exit.
The researchers tested every proposed solution. Universal basic income. Capital income taxes. Worker equity participation. Upskilling programs. Corporate coordination agreements.
Every single one failed in the model.
The only intervention that worked: a Pigouvian automation tax — a per-task levy charged every time a company replaces a human with AI, forcing them to price in the demand they are destroying before they pull the trigger.
No government has implemented this. No major economy is seriously discussing it.
Meanwhile the numbers are already tracking the curve. 100,000 tech workers laid off in 2025. 92,000 more in the first months of 2026. Jack Dorsey fired half of Block's workforce and said publicly: "Within the next year, the majority of companies will reach the same conclusion."
Nobody is doing anything wrong. Companies are following their incentives perfectly. That is exactly the problem.
Rational behavior. At scale. Simultaneously. With no mechanism to stop it.
Two economists built the math. The math leads to one place.

asked for this a dozen times, 2fa or at least some process for approved withdrawal addresses in the accounts. fucking crickets, ignored until this poor sob loses 2m. always same goddamn shit with polymarket no action until it's a crisis and someone got fucked
@ImperiumPaper in the context of this conversation abt crypto shitcoins like pengu with no intrinsic value as you said i don't think any of those apply, these are speculative assets traded solely for profit maximizing.
@ImperiumPaper price goes up after you sell = loser
price goes down after you sell = winner
price goes up after you buy = winner
price goes down after you buy = loser
there are literally no other possible outcomes and this we can all win kumbaya bullshit is nonsense
Kalshi is not a crypto company. We just:
- Legalized crypto perpetuals in America for the first time ever
- Hold 70% market share in crypto prediction market volume, making it our second largest category
- Act as the liquidity layer for Coinbase and Phantom's frontends
- Only accept crypto for international deposits
But yeah, Kalshi is not a crypto company
