We don’t have to work that hard for a comfortable life, and the gaudy material life the west has is not owed by laws of science or man. It’s taken as we can see by the bailout machinations

We don’t need grocery stores full of customized flavored drinks.

Fill them with raw ingredients and let people distract themselves inventing customization at home

Same with clothing stores. But we let a minority buy their way in, making us do the real creative work to prop them up

We extended government into our lives by creating corps and HR and letting the Corp owners then collude on the HR rules to our detriment in a society that claims to loath big government

And this community tacitly agrees with it by founding companies!

Americans go on about big government interference but that’s exactly what you defend by creating a market for one size fits all rules to filter into our lives at scale

Local communities can police themselves. We don’t need to curve our agency to what will get us a job

We need to get away from traditional values like “if I’m going to buy in, I expect a return on investment.”

Ok but many of us out here never invited you to play. Yet their demands of being rich are protected by all?

How’s that any different than them saying they shouldn’t have to spend money if they don’t want to?
