Exactly. Classic monkey's paw. You end up dying homeless and in the gutter. On your corpse the police find millions of dollars worth of checks to your name. You get to be a millionaire that dies of hunger and exposure to the elements.

Yes. Except in my mind it's a monkey's paw deal. You win endless discrimination lawsuits, but you just end up with a bunch of checks no bank will cash.

No you're thinking of Woody from Toy Story. He died in an Apartheid South African prison in 1978.

Sure. My point is that every generation that's existed since mass consumer culture began will have their versions of this. Contrast Precious Moments figurines among Boomers to Funko Pops for Millennials.

Behold the inevitable future of funko pops.

We use the barter economy here. You have to personally go to Jaybone's house and perform mutual aid sexual favors for them.

Don't forget the post doc!

Your hobby is inventing custom definitions for words and then working yourself into a tizzy over them.

Population control is not eugenics, you silly goose! One's concerned only with the number of people. The other with who reproduces. Your definition of eugenics is so broad that any teacher teaching sex ed counts as a eugenicist.

Words have meaning. Don't water them down for cheap points.

Eugenics is concerned with who reproduces. Simply giving out free birth control to anyone who wants it is a population control measure.

You have Nazi vision. Everyone is Hitler.

That has no relation to what I wrote.

Population control is eugenics in the same way dressing up as a ghost for Halloween makes you a Klan member.
