Title: The Purge makes no sense

If you lose people of working age,  that reduces productivity unsustainably..

I assume most people would stay indoors and avoid the purge altogether. I'm also guessing that a good amount of people participating in the purge would only be looting which is what would concern me more as far as business and productivity goes. Unemployment rates could possibly be a thing of the past if there were a good number of deaths, but businesses would tank due to loss of stock. Anyone stealing whatever they wanted for free that day wouldn't be going out and buying those expensive items all year. Of course that means that businesses would likely just make sure they don't have any stock for people to steal, so there would likely be massive pre-purge sales. With nothing to steal, looters would likely just stay home at that point. I can't see a lot of people actually senselessly killing, even without any repercussions.

Electronics are really really cheap to produce compared  to HUMAN BEINGS..

the true wealth of well, humans,  are HUMANS..   your labor is the most precious commodity.. Kinda sux that the rich enslave us under the current system, 

Buhhh..    even under the purge system, where the rich would still be vulnerable (pre purge purge),   Just think how many tvs and washing machines it would take to replace 1 human being in complex fields in terms of labor lost.

These are contests with no end,  because where would you put the line for how much of your decision is Original of you, vs influenced by external forces..

All that would happen is you'd draw circles in the sand,  and someone would draw a slightly larger circle, and you would both be right limited only by how large a circle you could draw..


UNTIL the circle is the size of the universe, across all all dimensions..

YES..

Yes please I need entertainment.

Honestly kicking him out was a great decision in hindsight because it gave /r/mechanicalkeyboards someone with passion to jumpstart it.

No, because the other keyboard sub-Reddit kicked him out.

There was nothing wrong with ripster.  Some people have a stick up their ass.
