  • To translate your message: “Libertarians wrongly believe they are kings and masters.” Evidenced by the famous Highlander line “There can be only one!”

    I mean. You already pay for your road and the ambulance that can drive down it to save your life. Why would you pay more to utilise the same overburdened service? Unless you’re going to pay to build a hospital, fire station, etc. what’s the point? And then the maintenance bills. Libertarians cannot wait to spend all of their money on things we currently help them pay for. (I’m Canadian by the way, just to explain the paid ambulance part)

    I’m Canadian. Servers now make minimum wage. I have stopped tipping. It doesn’t make any sense that a server who is making above minimum wage has to rely on customers paying a gratuity. Where were my tips when I was a lifeguard? Or a tour guide? I didn’t get a bonus for doing a good job landscaping. I’m not angry at the servers. I’m upset at the ones who blame customers for the shady business that they help keep open.

    I can’t heal you. You have to learn how to manage your situation. That I would be glad to help you with.

    I know she said it differently but that’s how I remember it. I’ve never been so terrified in my life but she helped me (so far) to get really excited for change.

    I was thinking something similar in regards to the amount of time it takes. If dystopia and dictatorship is coming to the “free world” the dictators have learned to land that plane gently. It’s nuts that things haven’t properly broken completely. We just keep putting up with small adjustments. I don’t think the serfs would have gone from, say, 2008 to 2025 without some sort of uproar or downright rebellion. Then again. Not my area of expertise.





  • I agree with the people saying that being able to cook for yourself should be considered a key skill. My birthday meal when I was a kid was called a jigs dinner and if my grandma hadn’t taught me how to make it her way then it would have been lost. Having that said. We are talking about eating out, which is a thing that humans have been doing for awhile. I can get a feature meal at McDonald’s for just over $15. Across the street I can get a half pound jalapeno burger with onion rings and a beer for about $20. We need to start giving value to small businesses. Because they do produce quality and value.
