The fuck is Israel parade? Jewish pride, sure; but Israel? That’s weird.

Thots and beers.

Counterpoint: it’s only silly numbers that you get paid with. Why not just go to work without them?

Labor isn’t really cheap. As a home owner, I can tell you that getting a plumber, electrician, sewer guy, appliance repair guy, roof repair guy, squirrel trapper guy, eavestrough guy, etc, etc. are all very expensive and it adds up. Plus property taxes, major stuff like roof replacement every 10 years, grass cutting, painting.
But yes, it’s also property values that go up - and that makes it more expensive to buy land because more people want to use that land. And as a result, the value of renting goes up. You could rent on the outskirts of town for much less; but you want to live in a nice spot just like everyone else. So how else do we proportions out the land except by attributing value to it and doing trades?

It takes work to set up an apartment and maintain a house. And there are other expenses.

Ok, haha. I said ‘no offense’ so…
I actually meant to write more but I got a call.
It’s just that while there’s plenty wrong with capitalism, this post doesn’t really hit the mark. In the context of a Neanderthal, most innovation would require very little investment of resources, and even larger projects which might require community involvement would be organized through examples, trust and like mindedness, or tribal dominance. Only once much larger and complex innovative projects needing regulated investment of some sort are considered, does capitalism even make sense. And then it makes sense for the same reasons that early capitalism can contribute a lot to growth and wellbeing.

Kinda a stupid take (no offense).

If you have given up on trying to fix where you live (which may be totally reasonable), then move to somewhere with likeminded people. Once you’re in a safer place, then you can speak out and fight for what you believe in.

"One of the major problems encountered in time travel is not that of becoming your own father or mother. There is no problem in becoming your own father or mother that a broad-minded and well-adjusted family can’t cope with. There is no problem with changing the course of history—the course of history does not change because it all fits together like a jigsaw. All the important changes have happened before the things they were supposed to change and it all sorts itself out in the end.

The major problem is simply one of grammar, and the main work to consult in this matter is Dr. Dan Streetmentioner’s Time Traveler’s Handbook of 1001 Tense Formations. It will tell you, for instance, how to describe something that was about to happen to you in the past before you avoided it by time-jumping forward two days in order to avoid it. The event will be descibed differently according to whether you are talking about it from the standpoint of your own natural time, from a time in the further future, or a time in the further past and is futher complicated by the possibility of conducting conversations while you are actually traveling from one time to another with the intention of becoming your own mother or father.

Most readers get as far as the Future Semiconditionally Modified Subinverted Plagal Past Subjunctive Intentional before giving up; and in fact in later aditions of the book all pages beyond this point have been left blank to save on printing costs.

The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy skips lightly over this tangle of academic abstraction, pausing only to note that the term “Future Perfect” has been abandoned since it was discovered not to be. "

His authorization of drone attacks was sad. But millions? More like thousands.

Isn’t that just the same with all systems?
