Indeed. The cyclical nature of human societal experiments are undeniable. Welcome to the 4th Industrial Revolution where a transhumanist existence awaits you. Line up for your initial intake chemistry. Resistance is futile…. for the willfully ignorant.

To summarise, during seven good years, the state instituted a 20% grain tax and built store cities on the advice of Joseph. During the famine years, the state sold the people grain in return for their assets. First their cattle, then their land, then their labour. At which point, the people were slaves of the state. The only people whose assets were not taken, were the priests (who were, of course, and integral part of the state machine).

The story is thought to date from 3.5 to 4 millennia ago.

Trudeau does not own the property, I do.

Yes he went to be with his family for Easter. Canadians don’t condemn Trudeau for being an aristocrat with privileges no other Canadians could dream about.

We live vicariously through Trudeau.

How long ago was this article written? Isn’t the answer already evident (even if it wasn’t entirely predictable)?
