Where can I sign up?

Andrea Andrew

This is exactly how I feel about capitalism. It sucks.

Andrew

The capitalism GDPR erases you from history and sends the IRS after you.

Michael Boettger

We need to socialize capitalism. So the most people can benefit from a system.

Andrea Andrew

I hope Hanners has at least enough for 12 months of rent.

Miyaa

Is it at this point that Marigold appears with more money than a Saudi Prince?

Zak Reichle

I'm continually impressed and in awe/proud of how much Hannelore has grown and accomplished and how far she has come since she was first introduced.

Daniel S

Well that answers what Hanners financial situation has been like. I figured she’d done something like that.

Frank Wales

Please confirm that Hanners can still request pizzas from space if the situation demands it.

Simon Green

Hey everyone, look at Mr. 'I assume I'll be a winner' Tannerbot over here!

Joseph Bonnar

I saw the title to this and my immediate response was "Oh NO! Is Jeph stopping QC?" Jeph, I need to thank you for getting my heart JUMP STARTED there... :P

Rob McBobson

I'm lucky that way. I've got four people willing to give me a free meal if I need one and I know three restaurants that'll let me "pay them Tuesday for a hamburger today," so to speak.

Tannerbot

If I sign up for that email, I will be a winner.

Finvaara

It feels like, until we violently dis-incentivize generating scarcity as a means of wealth, and subsequently power, acquisition, we'll not hit the post-scarcity society we are capable of and deserve.

World of Atkelem

I think she can request an orbital bombardment if the situation demands it. In fact, I think she *has*.

gatesong

This one time on Twitter someone said capitalism is better than socialism because capitalism is voluntary but socialism is coerced. I asked how to opt out but they didn't have an answer.

Joe Brockmeier

There's probably a reason all post-utopian fiction posits that there's some catastrophe that precedes the utopia. There's no gradual path to a post-scarcity society that we can imagine, it requires a violent upheaval first.

Jennifer Doyle

I suspect Hanners has "fuck you" money.

David Durant

I just want to say I'm really impressed how good Jeph's art has got over the years. Panel four is a really lovely example of close-up face sketching.

Daryl Sawyer

There will always been one particular form of scarcity, and, indeed, the *less* scarce everything else is, the *more* scarce that one thing will become. And this inversion of scarcity will show up (does show up) in the distribution of output.

Michael Rottenfusser

At the very least, there needs to be a way to opt out while maintaining a decent standard of living. Maybe a basic income?

Bagge

Not an email. A little pamplhet that comes with regular mail. A checkbook

ValdVin

"I demand pizzas. Oribital railgun pizzas."

Darnel D Cooper

Huh,... I thought she was smarter than that. How did she globetrot so hard and log after she cut ties with her mom? what she'd have to spend to travel would definitely buy a coffee shop on the east coast.

Finvaara

Genuinely not sure what you mean.

BobC

I thought Capitalism was when you NEVER TURNED OFF CAPS LOCK!

Ron Braithwaite

I would LOVE to check out of Capitalism.

Joseph Bonnar

BobC, that was a CAPITAL comment.

Sean Kinlin

ADAM SMITH ALWAYS USED CAPS

Carl Fink

Well, apparently one reason she could globetrot was that she worked her way.

Sean Kinlin

I think there is fine print on money that says by using it you agree to participate in capitalism.

Mad Marie

is the opposite of that a Lower-Caste system?

Mad Marie

(I would have responded in all-caps, but my throat is a little sore.)

KCkittysnores

Joe Brockmeier, I think you’d be interested in the book “A Paradise Built in Hell”. Non-fiction.

Joseph

Unrelated to the plot and the discussion, but the long-sleeve under the short-sleeve is a good look on Dora.

Mirage

*sigh* This is what I get for not reading the fine print. Stupid capitalism...

Timothy Roller

Good thing this is a comic, and doesn't reflect the actual crash of employment and eventual revolt of the 95% unemployed population that's coming, maybe within our lifetimes.

Tudza

Gig economy, very similar to frog gigging.

Kristina

The speed at which I would delete that email, and block the sender so I never have to participate ever again

eh eh Ron

Capitalism has that pesky auto renew on

Photon

And then there's Karl Popper's "The Open Society And It's Enemies."

Photon

Free-Market Capitalism might actually be a good idea. We'll never know for sure until someone actually tries it.

Leak

"I like the way you think and I would like to subscribe to your newsletter..."

SpookyPenguin

The problem with violent de-incentivization is that it merely incentivizes violence cf French Revolution. You will just repeat history.

wargrunt42

But my plans to find a time machine relies entirely on capitalism being a thing! Step 1) Find a time machine I conveniently left for myself Step 2) Use time travel to manipulate the cash markets to unlock infinite wealth Step 3) Travel to future to buy the time machine Step 4) Send the time machine I just bought back in time for me to conveniently find

Stephen Wells

Maybe Hannelore can invest in Union Robotics.

enchantedsleeper

Nice to finally learn about Hanners' financial situation, since I've been wondering about it since she started working at Coffee of Doom... what about Marigold though? She does have that kind of money (if Hanners' reaction to her finances is anything to go by). She could invest in Union Robotics (I wonder if Momo might be the one to pitch that to her). Have we seen Marigold yet since the time skip? I wonder if she's bought a house. Or mastered Downward-Facing Dog

Mark

If by 'Free-Market Capitalism', you mean totally unregulated, that sounds like a terrible idea.

Finvaara

Yeah, cycles of violence are a problem, but you have to break the cycles of oppression somehow, and I'm an old soldier, i haven't found a better way that works.

Greg R.

I am not sure Jeph needs to run the numbers on this to make the comic work, but for what it’s worth there’s a difference between “enough to buy the shop” and “enough to buy the shop and operate it at a permanent loss in order to pay all the employees above-market wages.”

Leak

Can't tell if religion or capitalism...

Leak

DON'T YOU MEAN ADAM SHIFT?

Chloë Salzenberg

A measure of human nature is that alleviating human suffering doesn't happen because people would suffer to make the change. You know, the *wrong* people. "Us."

Autographedcat

*insert "They're The Same Picture* meme here*

Autographedcat

Look up the story "Dominos" by C.K. Kornbluth if you've never read it. :)

jonesnori

I would support that.

Populuxe

You want to help? Commission some art figures from Faye and Bubbles. Pay full price and then tip.

2026-09-07 23:00 This may be where Jeph is going, but in real life when rich people donate to charity, they usually create their own "charities" which they retain control over. A big part of that being the tax loophole. I wouldn't be surprised if her legal people did something like that. Seems like the obvious thing to do would be to set up a local program to pay for AI in need to get preventative checkups & repairs done at their shop. Help people in need, and get money to her friends in a way they'd feel good about.

Sometimes the social systems we were assigned at birth do not reflect our deeper personal truths.

David Durant

There's a lot of folks that predict ultra-high levels of unemployment due to AI but it ain't gonna happen. Even the 1% of the 1% that have most of the money know that for a functioning society to work you need (1) a functioning economy which you don't have if most people can't afford to buy anything and (2) people need to be kept busy otherwise they're going to have lots of free time to rise up against those in power. Sure, they'll allow a certain amount of unemployment, maybe even 20% or more, but I see a lot of laws coming to stop it getting any higher than that. In the meantime I suggest reading https://marshallbrain.com/manna1.

Timothy Roller

Yes, but, capitalism. See: industrial revolution.

Stuart Hemming

Well, as you've been signed up for capitalism again, I guess I'll have to kept my Patreon subscription going! Maybe next year you'll forget to tick the box :-)

Josh Moberly

The worst part is that when you try to unsubscribe they route you to their retention department, and those bastards ARE THE WORST!
