We already know how you spin it...

I view debt as spending tomorrow’s productivity today. Through debt we have access to resources we couldn’t have used otherwise. We use today what we work to pay for tomorrow.

One of life's simple pleasures that takes the brain back tens of thousands of years when you just sit there, staring into the flames.

The deck is stacked against them. It's a matter of priorities and education not a matter of laziness. Your tolerance for annoyances and things generally not working has to be much higher.

What you really mean is they are fucking lazy & don't want to learn anything...

🤣 Degree to use?

Sounds like Degrees are seriously overvalued then... 😂

However I think friction is a huge deal these days. While email has remained somewhat competitive because of demand, what about something like smartphones?

There is IOS an Android and relatively nothing in between that doesn't require an engineering degree to use. I suppose that's still two competing markets but 99.99999% percent of smart phone users will have to bow to their will. The other .00001% have said engineering degree and fight hard every day and will be forced to withdraw farther an farther from their peers.

Okay, lets say to want to travel to see a friend, you have a stripped down Android phone. What are you options for GPS that actually work, won't leave you stranded and isn't written by Google?

Is it really competition if %99.9999 of users don't have the skills or the dozens of hours to fight against to be able to break out of the walled garden.

Mate, they have agency, they chose that position, whether it be stupidity or some angle they are working, they are also the problem.

Stop letting people slide just because they aren't the "visible head honchos" (really just puppets themselves in reality, the real power is in the shadows)... 😂

Oh absolutely - but they're just "useful idiots" by joining the blue team or the red team.

Focusing on blue/red deflects from the real enemy - the government.

If the politicians can keep the red team hating the blue team it deflects blame from them. Genius move really--people are such sheep.

Yep, shouldn't be dealing with them in anyway unless it is a closet gun to the head kind of thing...

And thats why relying on the state is slavery....😡

Sorry was it the right or the left that stormed the Capital?

Unless you are specifically talking dems vs republicans being your reference for right & left.

The two part system in the states has ruined any of your imaginations to think outside of the parties.

We aren't all extinct just yet.

Tried out my “new” wind up shaver. Good shave. Now to see if I can find spare razors for something made in 1972.

Apparently the Aussies are still cucked.

Meh, then I'll sit off the coast under canvas until it gets quieter for now, hopefully before it goes belly up I'll manage to get something with a small cabin that is still shoal draft.

Hope is that it will just fall apart as all sicialist societies. Just might not be fast enough to prevent collateral damage

So it's working as designed ...
