I agree.

People are SO against doing that though, almost vehemently so. 1000 people will go to scamazon to buy some junk before 1 person goes 2 blocks to get it from a local store. People are so lazy they dont want to get up to put in a dvd (yes im old, but this is something I heard a friend actually say not long ago)

Not to mention everything made local costs 4x more by default.

There’s really not much sense of community anymore in America.

I agree.

But its still dangerous to give government that power. however, if you can actually elect the politicians, its fine. But we all know its rigged bullshit and votes dont actually matter anymore, if they ever did.

In America midwest, 100k is plenty to own a couple acres and a few cars and buy most things you want and travel.

On the coasts, about $250k yr to live like this, maybe 350k.

While I agree, then you are giving the government massive power to decide how much you shouldn’t make.

And what happens with all the “tax” money? Straight into politician pockets.

I totally agree. And id like to ask, what sort of system benefits this?

Regulation is what government does and kills small business while large corps either pay em off to get by or they submit to regulation and lose a few billion but doesn’t affect em.

Socialism is viewed here as government ownership of everything, no more individualism, and Americans fear government above all else (ironically blindly trusting corporations with all their money and data).

Cant we outlaw corporations and continue as we are? Sure would be nice.

Game consoles.

I enjoy collecting and modding them more than actually playing lol. Generally I suck at games.

Now I do play them. But I spend a lot more time figuring out better ways to use them and getting the best quality out of them possible, or trying to use og hardware but playing any game (like ps2 over ethernet)

Tested and verified by who?

Cant trust anything.

I literally see no other future. Its not possible.

Really sad for kids born today.

Never had a flu vaccine. Theyre pointless to me.

I dont believe the 1 in 50 death rate of covid. There’s no way that is true or we would all be dead.

Also the covid vaccine isnt 1 and done. People go in to get boosters multiple times a year. And they still get covid.

I had to get the jab myself, made me feel awful, still feeling heart arrhythmia from it, still got covid anyways.

Now if I was old or sickly, sure id say get it. But I rarely get sick ever.

Fish should be default in mint. Makes linux so much better.

Mine is going up 10% next year, got a letter from them. Data center coming soon even though not 1 person in town wants it.

FUCK THESE CORPORATIONS

Youre right, and being down voted by people who have no concept of non black and white thinking.

People are right to be non trusting of a brand new untested vaccine.

Let’s be honest, its the covid vax being rushed to market and the politics of it that made this happen. Before that it was an issue with total idiots, but now I have “normal” family members not vaxing their children for things eradicated 50 years ago.

I can totally see the skepticism on the covid vax. You really cant trust anything. Lets not pretend the covid vax didnt have issues (and we plebs dont really know for sure how many bad side effects there are/were yet. No matter what you think). And in my opinion government should not control your body. However these people not getting children vaccinated for measles are just absolute idiots.

And now people who think everything is black and white can downvote me to hell!

Wordle bro

Ohh yep. I spent too much time thinking how to spell queue that i didnt realize its the wrong word, lol!

Its not better but you could just use your credit card every time instead. PayPal is easier but your card has likely has better theft insurance than PayPal.

I dont enjoy that evil Peter T and fElon founded PayPal. I should really stop using it.

And moth

There’s more than that ?

I think i was more trying to say that it goes in waves. But it’s always the first people who benefit (ie, type of governance is declared, you buy a few acres of land for 300 dollars, 40 years later that land is worth millions because you were there when the act of buying and selling it started. You’re born 30 years later, fuck you, 1 acre of land is now $400,000.

Of course if you started a business when it was still possible to do so (maybe building a specialty tool with 3 employees) and could buy houses and land off your little business, youd think capitalism is great. That’s not possible in later stages (regulations, and China can do everything cheaper, large corporations will stop you instantly if you challenge them)

Not a single trump voter will believe this. Its democrat lies
