    That’s my oversimplification of socialism/Communism. I believe that there’s definetly plenty of the basic stuff to keep people from going homeless and hungry. The governments should provide at least that. Then above that you can work to buy a computer and a phone or fancy pants. A safety net should exist. And it can be basic so the rich don’t complain. “Why should they get X if they didn’t work Y”. Because by the same token, how is it possible for one man to earn thousands of times more than another?



  • A little unrelated but still related… I went to the JohnDepo this weekend to get some 2X4…yeah they still look good from far away but every single stick is warped, wet, splintered and such. But this time what really stroke me was that it was Saturday morning 9am and all shelves with the 2x4x10’ and 8’ were full to the top.

    You know what that means if you know what it means. But let me say it: Nobody’s buying! Nobody’s working on a weekend project or house extensions or improvements. My 500k house now sits a few streets away from a 2mil dollar house. Like there’s absolutely nobody who would want a house in my neighborhood for 2million. C’mon! There’s just no way, no how. It boggles the mind that they even finished the stupid thing and put that price on it.

    Somewhere between every man (and woman) for her (him) self and a general safety net for all the truth lies. And it’s probably closer to the safety net. There’s an awful lot of last stupid people, a few hardworking smart and educated people, lots of hardworking smart people and a few handful of rich assholes. Somehow we’re all trapped in this flying ball of dirt.
