I didn't call it laziness, but that's as good a word as any. <br /><br />So many were in favor of free health care, rent control, etc, that it dawned on me that they just didn't want to get real jobs. It was more desirable to pursue your art, but what to do about those pesky needs? <br /><br />Easy! Push for free stuff for everyone, which conveniently includes you. You get to morally preen about how benevolent you are toward those less fortunate,, but the real goal is to sleep in till noon. Then go on auditions and hope to land a sit-com. If you fail....well then Uncle Sam should take care of you using money confiscated from people who work 60 hours a week. <br /><br />So, it's laziness..MagicalPathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03268182299766598451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8358039.post-58324178987363183202016-07-19T13:27:26.408-07:002016-07-19T13:27:26.408-07:00^where's that statistic coming from?

Liberalism in its present form is comprised of tribes of disenfranchised losers that have banded together and turned their collective inferiority into a source of strength and profit through the virtue of victimhood. Is it any wonder that "fat shaming" became a thing in an era when 2 out of 3 American adults are considered overweight?

All one has to do is to look at our current occupier of 1600 PA Ave., NW, Wash, DC 20002. He is one lazy-azzed person. But I digress. Kids, even today in our crappy 2.0% GDP annualized growth economy, those who work can make a go of it. It's not easy at all, you will have to hustle to make an honest buck, but it is worth it.

Don't tank up at CITGO, don't do holidays in muslim countries, note the companies that hate conservatives and stop giving them business, do NOT donate to charaties until you thoroughly vetted them, etc... Most important, do not give parasites your time. It is the biggest personal asset people completely own. Do not listen to them in person or on TV. Keep moving and use your time to build on your personal interests or wealth (but you already know this).<br /><br /> <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8358039.post-72930223488601047532016-07-18T22:34:12.312-07:002016-07-18T22:34:12.312-07:00It could very well be laziness.

What...It could very well be laziness. It could be.<br /><br />What if the laziness, though, is caused by a pointless life? When one has no ultimate goal for one's life, one tends to drift and lose focus. Oh, one might make things up, e.g., money, power, control (all legitimate or otherwise).<br /><br />Ultimately, though, one begins to realize: <i>What's the point?</i> Why should one do all this?<br /><br />Ever read the Bible's Ecclesiastes?PoCoTexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12037685265565526776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8358039.post-80725101673057057632016-07-18T19:36:19.804-07:002016-07-18T19:36:19.804-07:00Awesome rant Aaron...

Something like what do we do with the losers. In the before time, before globalization and automation, there was a place for the low skilled, low IQ, unimaginative dimwits in our society. They could live perfectly satisfying middle class lives putting widget A into slot B. <br /><br />Now we have a society that requires intelligence, creativity, and hardwork to reach the desirable lifestyle. The factory jobs are gone and they are not coming back. Even if protectionism picks up and factories move back to the US, those assembly lines will be manned by robots. <br /><br />So, what do we do with the losers? They are not going away. They are not going to be happy on welfare. They have already turned violent.Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09294201836902725634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8358039.post-40645491441272350252016-07-18T15:07:40.604-07:002016-07-18T15:07:40.604-07:00"... spoiled suburbanite Seattle scum panhand..."... spoiled suburbanite Seattle scum panhandling in Pioneer Square ..."<br /><br />There was one, however, who was far from spoiled, and I met him in my travels in Seattle during the early 2000s.<br /><br />He'd worked with some of the pioneers of the Internet, including some of the people who were responsible for its standardisation. While doing this, he earned a paltry engineer's pay cheque, which was more than customary in the 1970s, and it was while he was doing this that he was led to a brilliant scheme that would let him maintain his standard of income while improving his standard of living.<br /><br />He made a bet with himself that he could earn at least as much as he did as an engineer, and perhaps even more than that, if he would simply become a street beggar.<br /><br />And so he did, and so he won his bet with himself, but what he discovered was that he soon had an excess of liquid assets.<br /><br />Wisely he moved to Seattle where there were even more guilt-ridden suburbanite commuters and people who we now refer to as SWPLs, and it was there he decided that he could make even more money the lazy way: by investing it.<br /><br />The last we'd talked, he owned a building of some significance in Seattle's downtown district, but that he was in the process of selling it so he could retire to somewhere considerably sunnier.<br /><br />Don't make the mistake of confusing laziness with a lack of industry.<br />Anti-Citizen Zeronoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8358039.post-58677127381296865582016-07-18T14:41:37.067-07:002016-07-18T14:41:37.067-07:00And the less communist ones just want to be famous...And the less communist ones just want to be famous and rich without expending the necessary energy.
