We need that for all the politicians. Only a tiny handful would have blank jackets.
This would be a good use case for AR—just slip on your glasses and see all their sponsors’ logos adjusted to scale according to the size of their ~~bribe~~ donations
If the plebes have to wear a uniform to their minimum wage drug tested job so should our elites
What if we put the stocks their trading as well?
Great idea! A little stock ticker! Throw some LED lights on that bitch like it’s an outfit for a rave!
We need to make this brilliant idea a real thing. Great project for people who are good at and enjoy photo manipulation.
Based on my experience with humans, the ruling class would probably get this turned around to the point where people vote based on how popular various brand names are. It might even reduce the amount it takes to buy or rent a politician if certain logos make them more likely to win.
Even today, I bet a good portion of his cult would just call all that money an example of how good a business man he is, with the assumption that good business man = good leader.
Another prediction is that dummy companies will pop up with good looking mission statements and money to give to candidates who might actually be good ones, only for scandals to break about the company after the name gets associated with the politician.
We can't have nice things.
Good points, thanks.
