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

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 :-)

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

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.

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

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

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."

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

Maybe Hannelore can invest in Union Robotics.

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
