Dedicated Dummies Offering [their] Savings?

That is basically The Great Filter theory the OP was referring to.

Yeah. My grandfather (former electrician and electrical inspector) had a specific outlet he’d plug a gas generator in to back feed power into the house. This was in the 80s and 90s.

He also pointed out that he turned the main off so it did not back feed into the grid and power lines that a lineman is expecting to not be live.

You can teach them properly about capitalism by making them follow the rules to the letter and following slightly relaxed rules for yourself, such as starting with extra cash and the ability to take out interest-free loans on you properties while still collecting rent, and reducing the costs for you to buy houses and hotels because you can leverage market forces in you favor.

New chance cards only you could get would include:

You busted a union, collect $100

Shorted stocks and left everyone else holding the bag, collect $25 from each player

Caught Insider trading, pay $1 or go to jail until your next turn

You collected 36 pieces of candy.
Coincidentally due to forces beyond my control your rent this month is 35 pieces of candy. You understand I’ve got bills to pay too, right?

Oh we know what is going on already. The court has been stacked in a way that usually favors corporate and authoritarian interests, with justices frequently receiving gifts that aren’t always disclosed.

Now, now, this isn’t Texas.

Yes all those people draining billions every year giving nothing any keeping the money.

You’re taking about corporate welfare too, right?

Not the movie that caused it, but during either the first or second Tobey McGuire Spider Man movie there is a scene where Peter tells Aunt May he is responsible for Uncle Ben’s death. Right during this dramatic scene in the theater a kid said pretty loudly (but not quite yelling) “I have to go poop!” Quite of a few of us burst out laughing during this heavy scene.

12 Monkeys (1995)

Paradox (2016)

Both of these movies deal with time travel, I know that is a turn off for some people. Also in both of these movies it’s not that evil overtly wins, it’s more that protagonists fail to prevent the inciting incident from happening. With Paradox it’s not really implied until the last scene what has actually been going on.

How old are those debts?

"On February 5, 1997, a civil jury in Santa Monica, California, unanimously found Simpson liable for the wrongful death of and battery against Goldman, and battery against Brown. (The Brown family had not filed a wrongful death claim.)[112] Simpson was ordered to pay $33,500,000 in damages: $8.5 million in compensatory damages to the Goldman family, and $12.5 million in punitive damages to each family.[113] His net worth at the time was $11 million"

Why arent they already paid?

He claimed he didn't have the money and took actions to reduce his liability / tried to hide income so it wouldn't be directed toward this debt.

Im assuming theres a reason the court disnt put him back in jail for not paying it?

This is was a civil trial, he was acquitted on the criminal charges. His income was garnished and directed toward this debt.

If they were contesting this for years then why would that not resolve?

The families did keep taking him to court. An example is If I Did It the book he tried to publish and the families took control of the publishing and proceeds, shrinking the "If" so it looks like the title of the book is "I Did It."

This is a case of the rich/celebrity playing the system in a way normal folk can't; though in this case the families of the victims kept the pressure up so he needed to watch his step and got financial slap downs when he missteped or was caught trying to keep money without paying them.

Look im not saying i want this. Im saying its gross and shitty but that YOU and I have the right be that way in our wills and this isnt the executors fault.

Too many people think the executor has more decision power than we like at times.

I don't know what is in the will, but I can certainly imagine it does include directives to reduce payments to the families. I do agree it is the executor's job to carry out the person's intentions in the will.

Since this is in nostupidquesrions and not a piracy community I’ll offer a different take:

Try your local library for physical copies. Depending on your library system, it may be free (or low cost) to have copies sent from other branches. Again depending on your system it may be possible to get copies from libraries outside of the system through Inter Library Loans (ILL) if your library participates.

Also library systems may have access to some streaming content, depends on your system. Some large cities, like NYC, offer library cards to everyone in t the state.

Tangentially related, the Internet Archive also hosts tons of material you might not find anywhere else. Probably not what you’re looking for, but I’ve found things like Mister Rogers episodes there that aren’t available on Amazon or DVDs. Quality of content may vary and you’re more likely to find older content there.
