Worked out just fine. But I had to halt the Galt to retired and start collecting much of whatever it was I paid in yo remain legit and build up social security. <br /><br />If I live long enough I will have gotten it all back with interest. Meanwhile I am enjoying all those savings.<br /><br />I also avoided post secondary education and passed those savings along to my customers.<br /><br />Cappy is right ... unless you are well connected and have a strong stomach, it's just not worth it any more. I live semi minimalist and it's great.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8358039.post-62333395915739066392013-10-30T12:47:01.978-07:002013-10-30T12:47:01.978-07:00Relampago2013, look at this:

Not impossible, but really hard. <br /><br />I embrace minimalisim because fuck having all that stuff. Happiest times of my life tend to come when I don't have shit to my name. Plus, like Earl points out, it's God approved. If I start making an idol out of stuff, you'd better bet he's going to take it away from me.

Even if nobody goes Galt and everyone keeps slogging away... you can NEVER give socialists enough money. <br /><br />The error the Galts are making is this: you are assuming a better system will arise to replace the one we have now. That is not necessarily true. I could see us going like the Russians - getting raped by the commies in gov't, and taking it up the arse from the capitalists on the black market...we are setting the stage for some very interesting times...Glen Filthiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03256741311142364722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8358039.post-10214175973485054312013-10-29T13:21:17.647-07:002013-10-29T13:21:17.647-07:00While I appreciate the sentiment, your final calcu...While I appreciate the sentiment, your final calculation assumes linear accounting. I seriously doubt 75M young men in a country of just over 300M can be accommodated in the military.<br /><br />However, the $75T may be bled other ways. If we resort to black markets and mooching off welfare, I am sure that the present regime will find itself bled in very short order. Then again, if one can get 75M men to do something in concert, I can think of other ways we might amend our situation.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8358039.post-22271953268054069492013-10-29T10:20:12.856-07:002013-10-29T10:20:12.856-07:00thanks for the linkage Hermano; appreciate it.
