  • Look, it’s an 80 year old diaper shitting grifter talking about 50 year loans. Gee. I wonder if he cares how that plays out…

    I don’t see why the banks don’t offer that. It’s just borrowing from the future like they are already doing.

    Anyone who benefits from it doesn’t have to wait that long; they can easily sell the debt right now, cash in and retire.

    I wish they would. Retire, that is.

    I’d rather they be allowed to fuck everyone over right now if only they’d retire. At least they’d be dead in ten years and we can maybe piss on their graves and introduce an inheritance and wealth tax in the meantime to grab back what they stole from the future.







  • especially someone

    This word is the issue that is grinding gears and it’s carrying a heavy weight.

    What’s your take on handicapped people?

    Is someone who has worked 20 years in a factory and got run over by a forklift and lost both legs somehow worth more than someone who was born without legs to begin with?

    I believe a society can be measured by how it treats its weakest member. Or the actual quote:

    the test of a civilization is the way that it cares for its helpless members

    None of this prohibits anyone from making more money by working harder than others.

    The moment when a society starts arguing over who is more eligible for welfare, that’s when that society moves down to the lowest level that it’s willing to offer.












  • Somewhat on/off-topic.

    It’s usually irrelevant to focus on the “competition”.

    In business, it makes no sense to focus on the 1% of the population who buys your competitors products instead of yours, because you’re not addressing the 98% who is not buying either.

    The same is true about US politics: The majority are not left or right; They are not voting at all. Claiming that the shooter is either side will be wrong more often than it is true, because there’s only 25% chance of guessing it.

    Who even knows if it’s politically motivated? 4 children were shot at a school simultaneously as the Krik shooting. Nobody asked about the political reasons for that.
