Imagine going through life not being able to afford property
Imagine playing Monopoly, but all the properties are already owned by another player and the rent starts at $900.
Imagine playing Monopoly and not understanding its about the dangerous of unrestricted capitalisms and how monopolies are bad
Imagine making a joke about monopoly and not knowing the game was stolen
There’s this movie called Believe that is unironic Ebeneezer Scrooge apologism, and I think that’s where the rich-asshole protagonist references “There’s a difference between guys who sign the front of the check, and guys who sign the back.” It might be the only time in history that’s been treated like it favors the guys who sign the front.
This feels similar.
Imagine playing Monopoly with friends and no one is ever buying. You can visit all these nice cities, you can use four amazing train stations free of charge and after each round trip you collect your universal basic income. There’s just that one weird thing that sometimes you randomly end up in jail for three days. But I guess in such a world, also the guards would be cool dudes(ses).
