Wealth inequality will destroy America. Tax wealth. Tax wealth violently.

I’m going to take it a step ahead and say no one has ever wanted to work the kind of hours most people work. Left to their own devices people might work 15 hours a week but very few would voluntarily work 40-60 hours per week. It’s always been about it being a necessity for survival.

OMG the swearing on this article. Whatever message the author wanted to convey is lost on me - I could not go beyond the first paragraph.

A bit "edgelord" and really not sure, but I sense schizophrenia too.

Kind of unrelated but sorry that you are currently unmedicated. I have found that it's nice to take a break of like one day from my medication but, in line with the point of the article, I find life too difficult to handle unmedicated for more than a day at a time.

People don’t want to work anymore, but they keep expecting more from their already debt loaded governments - the free ride has to end at some point.

precisely. precisely. precisely. the core root of it is private property. abolish it, own nothing and be happy is it. that stupid wef thing that ain't so stupid. think like a hunter gatherer. but how do we scale sharing? well we don't need Epstein anymore, we have surveillance tech. can we use it so that rich people are brought down and the bottom is lifted up? and that we all cooperate and it's good without it being coercive? big country problems. in the 50s what I never hear is just how much conformity was coerced. yeah rich were taxed etc. it comes down to as simple as getting on the bus and offering to drive instead, no questions asked just drive a public bus. or just work spontaneously at a grocery store in the morning. extrapolate that. also, know when enough is enough. do we really need elaborate superficialities to live? hunter gatherer hunter gatherer. we are out here, its hard to adjust a big nation but who knows how far we can push disaster until we get the "blessings" I became useless, an anonymous nobody with no merit. might miss the trump admin when it's gone
