Automation has let some of us down. Full of promise to decrease the work load necessary for living reasonable and fulfilling lives, automation and robotization didn't give us  proles extra leisure time and easier lives. Instead somehow all that time was handed over to elites who squander it daily on banal bullshit.

Now with technological brilliance of open source begging software running on trash picked machinery, begging for some of that stolen wealth can be handed off to machines as well, and much more efficiently at that.

Now is the time often referred to as Penn Christmas. I would like to note that the term is WRONG. The period of lumpen celebration (also celebrated by fully employed and exploited aspiring lumpen) and unintentional potlatch is correctly to be known as "Cornucopia". No other term is correct. "Penn Christmas", an incorrect term invented by pro-Christmas Christian Christmas apologists is to be immediately discontinued. Jesus and God are a bourgeois hoax as well as their  ridiculous birth story. Please set your spellcheckers to auto-correct this term immediately!

So in the spirit of Cornucopia, I'm posting a wish list for our house and myself. Please add your own Cornucopia wishes in the form of comments or edit this post!
