3) your attemt to come off as better than everyone else for chopping fucking wood is failing. i'm glad you think you can be self sufficient, by all means go ahead and do what you gotta do. that's not how society works however. i suppose you want senior citizens out there splitting logs.
fyi: i and most of the people I know are very financially responsible. we enjoy the pleasures of life when we can, because we fucking can. we do this through hard work, not the government's babysitting. again, i think the constant scent of pine has made you dillusional.
4) dillusional. people have families. they work 2 or 3 jobs to support them. a lot of the people i work with put in 70-80 hours a week and then go home to their wife and kids. i agree that some people should get off their asses, but in your self-proclaimed richeousness you're fucking the hard-working middle class over.
fuck the rest of your post. your whole argument is just not feasible and you obviously live in an entirely different reality out in the middle of nowhere. and fyi, you seem to be complaining more than anyone else... |
Better than anyone else for chopping wood? No.
Better off financially? Yes. Isn't that the whole point?
We are all the "hard working middle class". The difference between you and me is I'm going to work smarter, reallocate my time and resources in a way that saves me $$$, time and resources in the end. If that isn't a feasible reality, then I don't know what is. If you want to have pity on the people that do nothing to better themselves and use it as an excuse to create a government full of regulation and "financial equality for all" then you may want to look at the Socialist party.
It's the same thing with the god damn mortgage situation. "HELP! I BOUGHT A HOUSE I COULDN'T AFFORD! NOW I MAY HAVE TO SELL IT! HOW UNFAIR!!!"
Or the classic "OH MY GOD, I DIDN'T READ THE MORTGAGE I SIGNED, NOW I FUCKED MYSELF AND NOBODY IS TO BLAME BUT ME! SOMEONE SAVE ME FROM LOOSING MY 2800 SQUARE FOOT MCMANSION!"
Welcome to WELFARE.
So what exactly is your plan? How will you deal with a recession, increased fuel prices across the board and a job market in the shitter? If you think it's not coming, you are the dillusional one.
Senior citizens? Do you have any idea what senior citizens have done for the past 100 years in our country? They sell their homes and move in with family or get an apartment! Oh wait, that's not fair, right? WHY NOT? The ones that were smart enough saved money and can take care of themselves. The ones that didn't? Well, guess what? You have to take care of yourself or your family foots the bill. All my grandparents had to ditch their houses eventually. It's a reality of life. I'm assuming by your statements that you FEEL that a senior citizen that has no money left is ENTITLED to keep his/her home.
If I had no money, I'd sell my house. Sure beats taking charity.
People have families? Yup, they sure do. They are responsible for them too.
