[QUOTE="Whither, post: 5103029, member: 76643"] You're a well-trained laborer, not used to making decisions or having some say of what gets done, how it gets done, and why. You think we need to have a leader, who also just so happens to make bank off our efforts. I would prefer to have access to my own bit of land, to be a part of a real "brotherhood" who gives a **** about one another instead of dreaming of "lording it over" my brothers, and to cooperate to thrive. Whereas now we're divided and compete to survive. Look. I'm not a fooking genius. I have no plan. I can't tell you how it's best to live. I'm truly sorry. I wish I was that wise but I'm just another foolish human being. Maybe the only thing that separates us is I don't apolgoize for this ****ty way of life. It's bad. I've seen the homeless population double or triple since Covid. That's not good. You can call them lazy, or freeloaders, or whatever slander you need to make yourself feel okay while billionaire idiots take flights to "outer space." And while people like you and me are doing relatively okay because we lucked out to get a union job and were able follow our stupid orders, but the chips are down. I get it. It's easier to harden your heart than to admit not only how hapless these "street people" are, but to look at yourself in the mirror, think of all the compromises you've made, how easily you could've been there. It's easier not think about those things. [/QUOTE]
