    -- Start game with $5000, not $1500
    -- Never pay rent
    -- Never pay taxes
    -- Get properties for free rather than paying purchase price
    -- As mentioned, never go to jail, all other players pay you $100
    -- Start charging for hotel as soon as you buy a property (not color set)
    -- You have the option of throwing out any Chance or Community Chest cards you wish
    -- You can continually piss and moan how unfair the game is to you
    -- (Monkey Boy Mnuchin Special) Any time you want, you can create currency in any amount you want simply by drawing on slips of paper. Suggested starting point, draw yourself a Trillion Dollar ($1,000,000,000,000) Bill and continually wave it in front of the other players
    -- After any roll of the dice, you retain the right to label the result as "fake news" and demand the dice be re-thrown until you are happy with the results.
    -- At any time during the game if you are unhappy with its progress, you retain the right to flip the entire game table over and storm out the door.

    This is an Alabama chicken.

    Just the opposite. If Mr. Brooks concentrated more on those hard truths of human nature, and less on obsolete categories and OpEd cliches like "working class," "Democrat," "Republican," and "elites," he might have something interesting to say.

    Or at least be made to say something interesting.

    I have only been following this from the political aspect, so does anyone know what Alabama's plan is for all its new citizens?
    Do they keep in the freezer until the rapture? Do they call in the parents and force them to have all the embrioes inserted and carried to term one at a time? Do they offer bounties to women to be surrogates? What happens if there is a big power outage and they go bad? Is the power company charged as an accessory to murder?

    Or just maybe there is no actual plan at all for what happened beyond the ruling itself.

    At what point did the educated not dominate universities, media, arts, nonprofits and bureaucracies? Arguably with the rise of social media, this moment in time has given the less-educated more influence in popular discourse, not less.

    No plan.

    They hardly ever have any plan for anything, and when they do, the plan is horrifying.

    Frankly, I prefer that the educated dominate universities, media, arts, nonprofits and bureaucracies. My hope would be that those educated people represent varying viewpoints, not political silos, but in a general sense putting the Tommy Tubervilles of the world in charge of such institutions is problematic.

    Trump would claim that the beauty contest was rigged because he only took second prize for $10.

    Can you only play Trump Monopoly with the ketchup bottle figurine?

    You can use whatever token you want, then blather on about how incredible, unbelievable, fantastic your token is, and how everybody else's token sucks ass.

    Trump has come out in favor of IVF treatments. Look for Alabama’s MAGAs to crawfish like crazy now.
