  • Omg, bro don’t spout this communist manifesto shit at me please!

    And to the second part “then we’ll just make more tires” is where the devil is in the details. How is that organized? How is that, more importantly, enforced?

    You can’t just “bourgeoisie” and the. “We’ll just make more” and skirt off into the sunset. How will we, how exactly will we, make more tires?

    Like really dive in here, because this is where the rubber meets the road. How do we ‘just make more’? Where do the workers come from? How do they know we even need to make more tires? Who tells them? And what happens if …. No one shows up to make any more tires?

    What if everyone is too busy hiking, or learning a new language, or doing art or writing great novels to make more tires?


  • Seriously, what is your expectation? What standard of living and what level of effort are you not reaching, or are extending too much effort to achieve?

    Why is life not coming close to satisfying you? Is it because people have more than you do? Is it because people have less?

    I think stating expectations is pretty important.

    Me? I want to earn enough to support myself, my family a couple of dogs, have two cars and a house and raise smart and healthy and vibrant children.

    I want a lifestyle where I can travel once in awhile, I can pay for the things I enjoy in my leisure time and recreation.

    I want to send my kids to summer camp and soccer and gymnastics, I want to buy my wife things she likes for Christmas and birthdays and anniversaries.

    If I want all of these things, I have to go out and get them. If I wait for the government to give them to me, they’ll never come.

    Now are your expectations in line with, or above or below what mine are? Does it bother you that people have more than you do?

    I don’t need a yatch, or my own spaceship. I wouldn’t even know what to do with those things if I did have them.
