“Their apathy and indifference invite us to rule them like kings.”

Businessman and billionaire investor on TV’s Sheep Pit
The wealthy have been laughing at us for 12,000 years – it’s not funny anymore!
In a fictional, yet familiar world that occasionally intersects our own, we listen in as aspiring authoritarian leader, Hugo Sensationist, persuades rising liberal star, Troy Laboy, to switch sides. In the process we get to consider the many different times that the nation of Everything could have stopped being great, all the time highlighting the huge unfairness in society.
Surely the recipe for a dark and dull, yet worthy snoozefest. Nope, they’re an oddball pair who swing effortlessly between wisdom and stupidity, ensuring a persistently funny and greased easy read to make even the least questioning of us ask, “Whose side am I on?”
If you reach the end and aren’t cheering for the losers, you’re clearly one of the sleazy, grubbing upper-class barstewards who’ve been laughing at the rest of us for 12,000 years. Congratulations, but it just ain’t funny anymore.
Dress on point
Remember, the revolution will be televised, so turning up naked’s not an option. If you’re going to be dressed, might as well be dressed on point, no?
We’re losers, you and I. It’s time to wear it as a badge of honor and let the losers of the world know exactly whose side you are on.
The Racket
Doomed, for ducks sack, as the wealthy walk all over us
Jethro H. Forclift’s upcoming book, The Racket: Doomed, for ducks sack, as the wealthy walk all over us, shines a light on the truth about nationhood and patriotism. If you’ve ever wondered why the poorest 50% of Americans own just 2.5% of the US’s wealth, why the figure is 3% in Russia, 4% in the EU and just under 6% in the UK, The Racket will explain what’s going on.
Truth is, it’s so obvious, you’ll hate yourself for looking the other way all your life.
Due 2026, The Racket is the barsteward offspring of an Epstein-ish three-way between Scheidel’s The Great Leveler, Hirschfeld’s Gangster States and Kemp’s Goliath’s Curse, but with the nob gags the readers love.
