Everything sucks because we denied the fact that marriage is a property contract.
This is what is wrong with the world.

Bitcoin doesn't automatically fix this, but it helps fix a biproduct of this (monetary debasement).
What monetary debasement does is allow everyone to privatize their relationship wins (sex, fun, companionship), while socializing their losses (financially-dependent children, chaotic familial structures, decaying schools, neighborhoods full of perpetual renters and transients, deaths of despair, etc.).
Schools are also decaying because parents aren’t the customers. The government is. Same with the police, military and courts. The trade off to user pays regardless of relative wealth is the state taking money from people and then purchasing the services. That makes the government the customer. Which is why those institutions are resistant to change and engage in behavior contrary to what private citizens want.
Yes, but it's statistically evident that public services are better or worse, depending upon the local marriage rate.
Married fathers are the lowest level of government and if you remove them from a space, or they pretend to not be there or their presence is impermanent or incommital, everything quickly turns to shit. So, the parents aren't the final customers, but if married fathers dominate the local government, then *they* are the customers and the higher levels of government are forced to respond to their demands because they can wield violence. The effect is indirect.
You can see this in real-time in Germany, nowadays. The higher levels of government are quietly warring with the lowest level, in some ethnic-dominated neighborhoods. The family men will literally band together and terrorize the teachers, stalk the principal in the parking lot, etc. The schools sometimes need cops, but the cops are also often from the same ethnic group and sympathize with their concerns. Ends up 2 indifferent guys against 50 angry ones, so good look with that. LOL
The canteen will be halal. The girls and boys get separate sports. The visit to Dachau gets quietly... delayed. Etc.
The crucifix in the hallway stays up. The local midwife will be doing the sex talk, not your rainbow whatever. Friday is fish day. Friday is fish day. FRIDAYS THERE WILL BE FISH. I KNOW WHERE YOU LIVE. SHOW SOME RESPECT, YOU HEATHEN.
*Teacher has nervous breakdown and is quietly relocated to Nuremberg.*
LOL
I’m on board with all that. As a heathen. I been to Dachau. I would encourage that visit as an example to the evil that’s possible when power is ceded to the government.
The dads at each school can determine the laws at the school. 🤷♀️
I don't have to agree to those laws. Not my kids. Or they can legalize homeschooling and let the schools get completely hollowed out, as the dads pull their kids out and arrange a co-op to suit their own needs. I'm fine with both.
I’d prefer the second. It means kids with shitty parents are at a serious disadvantage but that’s the case under the current system. The benefit is it’s a lot harder to kill local culture through indoctrination that is possible with centralized schooling. Even if members of the community are calling a lot of the shots. In my community it’s at the point where people not from here drastically outnumber those of us that are from here.
Then it's no longer your community. It's theirs.
I've been saying this for years. I want my woman to have her own name her own stuff. I don't Want to own her as property. Keep your last name. You as a human dont belong to no other human. Ohh but kiss the ring and bow down.
German law is more clear about this, as you can retain or attain your own property within a marriage, if you do it explicitly. That's why it's common for one spouse to own the house, and the other the business (the house can't be called up to service business debts, in case of bankruptcy).
Marriage has religious and personal significance for me, protects the interests of my children, and allows for a more efficient increase in wealth, but many people enter into marriage, denying that it's fundamentally a property contract. They confuse the wedding with the marriage.
And other people, who would benefit from having such a contract, don't get one because they think marriage is "just a piece of paper" and don't realize the purpose it has, until they land on the street because they actually have no legal right to stay in the house they were living in.
Or people enter into marriage and then later dissolve it, but instead of simply splitting property and going their own ways with their dowries and whatnot, one is reliant upon *future earnings* to care for dependents, which is just inviting massive money printing, to cover all of these open bills, if the other fails to pay up, skips town, or just refuses to work (or works on the black market).
Marry or don't, but know exactly what it is, what it does, and whether it is prudent.
I just dont and would not invite a 3rd entity to my love life like the guberment. Its all about love but on paper your own and labeled. Marriage is about money straight up scam. Sorry
Marriage is fundamentally a property contract between a man and a woman. The government doesn't have to be involved for it to be contracted.
This is part of my argument. People often enter into de facto marriages, with all of the consequences to property (including each other and any children or other dependents), and then split up and behave as if they had just been "friends with benefits". And the government is left to clean up the mess. But the government has no money. So they print the money.
People used to actively avoid entering into any relationship that even smelled like marriage because they knew they would be required to pay up, if the relationship dissolved. Money printing allowed everyone to just walk away, delaying payment into the next generation and then the next and the next.
Move in, move out. Play house, then sue for child support. Switch up lovers. Stay "single" and collect welfare for being a single parent, even though the other parent is still around. Divorce, sue for alimony.
Didn't work out? Send the taxpayer the bill. Roll out the printing presses.
And because the government pays the bills and on the surface everyone is taken care of, people’s neighbors and families don’t intervene. In a society without that government bail out? We can’t stop you from walking out on your spouse and children but you better have a very good reason. Otherwise you might end up without any friends in town and family that has nothing to do with you. Without the above mentioned money printing, how many people are moving around at a whim? That’s something that is enabled because developers can borrow billions of dollars, in aggregate, and build millions of prefabricated houses. Without that? Moving and starting over somewhere else because you burned your bridges in the community you were born in just became harder.
Yes, more of the cost remains with the person who produced the cost. There's no get-out-of-bills escape clause because you can't just pass the buck to the Federal Reserve.
Your immediate family and neighbors are going to be stuck holding your debts and suffering under their weight and they know where you live, biatch. Even if you try to run away, they have a strong motivation to chase you down or make sure that your reputation precedes you.
Shotgun weddings used to be an actual thing, under the gold standard. Just sayin.
Back then you could just change your name and likely not be found if you had the control to never contact anyone from your old life again. That’s harder now. For good and for ill.
