College as a Cult
Along the lines of the scandal where rich celebrities were paying millions to get their children into college (which behooves the question - why not just give your kids the MONEY because it's well beyond the worth of college), it's becoming apparent college has morphed into something beyond what it's possibly capable of providing students.
Status
Prestige
And as I like to call it "the economically identical nature of a wedding." AKA a birthright.
Here is yet another example of where people have lost their collective minds legally destroying their families just so their snot nosed, trust fund baby kids and pursue worthless degrees that will never pay nor provide their kids with viable careers.
Children and their parents have become completely untethered from reality when it comes to college, forcing me to conclude that college is merely a cult, a religion, where worthless, pointless children go on to extend their adolescence, as well as to give themselves some kind of agency or purpose in life (without having to work for it of course).
If you love your children, or you yourself are a student please kick your brain back into reality and buy this book. It's a critical conversation America needs to have about the merits of college education and is a way to ensure you do not destroy yourself financially through the lies of college.

Scoundrels Last Refuge is Religion
I love it when people who fuck up their lives so badly RUN to Christianity because it forgives them and gives them a get out of jail free card.
Though, this one more invoked the word of god than actually joined a church.

The Piggott Effect
The Two Reasons Men Have to Live
After observing my elders and going through a fair amount of life myself, I have come to the conclusion there are only two real reasons men have to live.
The first is women. For a gloriously uninterrupted first-decade-and-change of life, young boys are allowed to operate as truly free intellectual agents. Allowed to think for themselves, be independent, be uninfluenced by anything but pure curiosity, novelty, adventure and fun, boys enjoy the most care-free part of their lives playing with frogs, playing baseball, biking all over, and building forts for their first dozen years. Then they hit puberty and until the day they die, all of their decisions are henceforth influenced and impinged by women. They abandon their dreams. They abandon their lives. They ditch their bikes, frogs, and forts, all so they can "get da gurlz" and thus spend their days in the doldrums of marriage, or perhaps the purgatory of divorce.
But whether they're married or not, divorced or not, single or not, inevitably they get to the age where they abandon the pursuit of women, giving rise to the second reason men have to live - busting each others balls.
Oh, mock it if you must, but I am supremely confident in my assertion. Because if you watch men of retirement age, a "certain age," or pretty much any age, if women aren't around the SOLE AND ONLY reason we have to live on this planet is to rip other men apart.
I came to this epiphany while hanging out with Adam Piggott and The Great One Himself in Louisiana. While the pretense of this meetup was to meet each other in person, what it inevitably became was a mere Ball Busting Fest between the three of us.
- Mocking The Great One for BURNING CD'S SO HE CAN LISTEN TO PODCASTS IN HIS TRUCK WITH A CD PLAYER.
- Mocking Adam because he doesn't convert his WAV files into MP3's.
- Polling cute 20 something girls in New Orleans about my horrific choice of deodorant and Irish Spring soap.
- Buying Adam the "gift" of Irish Spring soap.
- Gay and homosexual jokes abound.
- And of course, pointing out Adam Piggott's uncanny ability to drive just like a post-menapausal American woman in a mini-van in the left lane.
This ball busting, however, is not relegated to our little shindig in Louisiana.
My old man, though retired, still works to this day SOLELY to bust the balls of his co-workers and insult his buddies. I know this because that is WITHOUT FAIL the first thing he will talk to me about when we catch up. Not his wife. Not his health. Not his retirement. But how he "got Willy in accounting the other day."
When I golf with the old guys in Vegas I have never once been greeted with kindness or civility, but usually questions about whether I'm "old enough to be out by myself" and questions about whether I've hit puberty or not. And instead of being appalled, these old guys laugh when I retort, "Hey, those are nice clubs. Can I have your clubs when you stroke out on the 15th hole?"
And when going on the Masculine Geek Podcast, you will not find a group of kind, caring, supportive friends, but a hornet's nest of insults, ball busting, mockery, ridicule, and hurtful words! In their hours of podcasting, not one kind word has ever been uttered to another man.
All of these anecdotes prove that once men get over women, insulting and busting the balls of other men is all we have left in life. And though not the idyllic times of our per-pubescent childhoods, it is a marked and happier improvement over the pursuit, capture, and ultimate divorce/boredom with women most of us are fated to have.
The Piggott Effect
However, something interesting happens within all this ball-busting, mockery and ridicule. Something that does not happen in women. For while we go out of our way to find any mistake, any flaw, and minor infraction within our male colleagues, and beat them down mercilessly for our own enjoyment, there is an unintentional side-process occurring that serves all men well in the end:
Continual improvement.
For example take Adam Piggott's incredibly - nay, UNRIVALLED - ability to drive like a 53 year old American woman in a minivan in the left lane with a "COEXIST" bumpersticker on her van. The second me and The Great One realized he simply could not drive like a real man, we got on his nutz immediately. Telling him it's MILES per hour, not his Australiany gay "kilometers" per hour. Pointing out the Asian driver is passing him. Speculating if The Great One could bike back to Colorado before Piggott would get us to the airport. Though this may have hurt Adam's incredibly feminine and fragile feelings, it was the first step in solving any problem - identifying and acknowledging there was one. And now, going forward, it is almost a guarantee Piggott will drive better than he was before.
Another example, my odor. The Captain does not stink, but The Great One and Piggott both mocked and ridiculed The Captain for his choice in "basic bitch" soap and deodorant. I use Old Spice deodorant and Irish Spring soap. However, this is erroneous because Piggott suggested I buy a $40,000 deodorant called "Hermes." Arguing against the cost and that my scent was perfectly fine, we surveyed some young ladies in the French Quarter only to find out that Old Spice and Irish Spring were "nasty," "gross," and "disgusting." Unlike Adam Piggott, my feelings were not hurt. However, once again, a problem was identified and I am going to improve.
Even the old and very decrepit Great One, with his many more years of wisdom than Adam and I, had flaws that needed improvement. Of note his burning ALL of the podcasts he listens to on ONE, SINGLE rewritable CD's so he can listen to it on his 1992 pick up truck CD player. Piggott and I pointed out to The Great One that for the cost of a wire, a new truck radio, or a bluetooth speaker, he could use an MP3 player or his phone and be forever rid of the chore of reburning CD's.
Be it driving like a middle aged woman, smelling like your grandpa, or using 1990's technology in 2019, men's desire to constantly identify, hunt down, and expose the failings and flaws in other men, means we're on a trend of perpetual improvement. One day Cappy doesn't stink as bad as he used to. Another day The Great One saves himself 15 minutes of his finite life getting a blue tooth speaker. And another day New Orleanians are spared 2 million hours in cumulative commute time because there isn't an Aussie driving like a middle age American woman with a minivan, while texting her BFF's in the left lane. And over the course of days, weeks, years, and decades, men improve a considerable amount to become interesting, productive, and less stinky members of society. All because we we bust each other's balls and are forthright in pointing out the flaws and shortcomings of our fellow brothers.
The Anti-Piggott Effect
Women, it is opposite. And I would argue that behind choosing poor degrees and working less hours, this "Anti-Piggott Effect" would explain a bit of the wage gap.
Women do not have their knives out (at least officially anyway). Women are not constantly looking for flaws in their female colleagues (at least officially anyway). And even if they do find a flaw, they will never say anything about it (to your face anyway). Matter of fact, it's quite the opposite of men's ball busting, where it is a constant "Compliment and Fawning Fest" where women sing one anothers' praises and tell one another how "amazing" they are. This sole focus on complimenting, praising, celebrating, and "positive reinforcement" overlooks flaws, errors, short-comings, and outright mistakes, denying women that perpetual self-improvement The Piggott Effect affords men.
Worse, since there is not this rabid hunting down of errors or mistakes just to bust one anothers' balls, but rather an obsession about praise and celebration for merely existing, the "Anti-Piggott Effect" allows problems, mistakes, and errors to fester, ultimately harming, even destroying the entities. For example (though behind a paywall), when women are put in charge of a college, delivering
- the highest quality education
- for the cheapest price possible
- to as many students as possible
You can see this elsewhere in western society where the gushing complimentfest outranks profit, efficiency, and just plain reality. We tell women (and men) to "follow your heart and the money will follow," misleading millions of poor young women into debt-slavery for worthless degrees. Entire corporate divisions are created that at BEST can be considered "marketing" or "PR," but functionally are affirmative action make-work welfare jobs programs where women can compliment each other all day - CSR, Diversity and Inclusion, HR, even Google's Orwellian "Department of Employees and Culture." Television has long been a gush-fest of avoiding harsh truths and reality (Oprah, The View, daytime soaps, etc.). And the Democrat party (and all socialist parties of the first world) do nothing but sing the praises of women, never constructively criticizing them.
Of course, this is not to say that all women are just running around reading their People Magazine, complimenting one another, majoring in Public Health, and telling each other how "amazing and brave" they all are as they all attend masturbation-festivals. There are some authentic women, who live in reality, seek and deliver constructive criticism, major in the right things, work real jobs, and never fell for such BS. But even then it is not in women's nature to purposely hunt down and bust one another's balls to such a ferocious, olympic level (if at all) like men. And even if men were allowed to "bust women's balls" (which we're not because that would result in an immediate sexual discrimination case), both would be considered "rude." Alas, because men and women ARE DIFFERENT, women are denied the benefits of "The Piggott Effect."
Fee-Fee's or Reality
The truth is The Piggott Effect is simply about the truth. And though men enjoy busting each other's balls to find it, this blunt reality does give men an advantage over women. We don't placate one another, lie to one another, or try to make each other "feel" better. We tell one another the truth so that they might DO better, ESPECIALLY if we can laugh at them at their expense. And while poor degree choices and fewer working hours explain the lion's share of the wage gap, perhaps women could use some ball-busting and "The Piggott Effect" to help close that gap.

Do Humans Have Value in an AI World?
A World Without Work
The inevitable and presumed goal of civilization has been one without sweat, labor, toil, or effort. A utopian world where consumption is unlimited, but the labor required to produce consumable items unnecessary. Economists and the economics profession itself has long aimed to manage the factors of production in the most efficient way possible to bring about the "most efficient" version of this utopia current day technologies allowed. And this utopian dream is so tempting, one could argue the largest part of our modern day economy is lying to people by promising it to them...as long as you borrow egregious sums at usurious rates of interest.
But for whatever technological hurdles and sociological stumbles we as humans make towards this ideal world of unlimited resources, we have made incredible progress. Diseases have been cured. Life expectancies trebled. Our environments have been tamed and controlled so we're cool in summer and warm in winter. Flight, telecommunications, the internet. It's an improvement a million times better than when our ancestors' primary problem was finding food or not becoming food themselves. One could argue we're already here.
Still, people have to labor somewhat, and while life is on "easy mode" it's certainly not on "god mode" just yet. And so we will inexorably move towards that PERFECT utopia where AI and the slave robots it commands does ALL the labor for us, producing EVERYTHING we could possibly want, making everything effectively free and the dredges of society like Ilhan Omar as "productive" and rich as the Bill Gateses of the world.
But have you ever taken the time to think about a world without work? Have you wondered what humans would do with themselves 10 hours a day neither commuting nor laboring? Shoot, if the robots are producing everything, why even bother going to school? Why bother becoming literate? Why bother even learning to wipe your ass because the "ass wiping robot" will do it for you? Without labor or problems, from womb to tomb every second of human life would have to be occupied with some form of leisurely pursuits, hobbies, fun, eating, video games, and work-avoidance. And while that may sound "fun" even "utopian," without labor, without professions, without the mandate to create the production that is required to support oneself and advance oneself, giving oneself value, humans would simply be left with mere hedonism and ultimately no real point or purpose in life.
You may not believe this at first, because a life of video games, unlimited sushi buffets, ice cream, and holodeck sex orgies with a score of redheaded Jennifer Anistons seems pretty hard to beat. But that is because you don't understand novelty. This is exemplified in the Twilight Zone episode "A Nice Place to Visit" where a gangster thug dies and is presumably sent to heaven. All of his worldly desires are met. He never loses at the casino. He can rob banks with nobody stopping him. And scores of beautiful women surround him. Though "heavenly," inevitably the novelty wears off. He tires of winning, tires of 100% success, tires of life being so easy and actually looks for a challenge. Simply something different in life. He is then informed by his host (who is in actuality, the Devil) that he cannot have anything different, but 100% success and material wealth forever into eternity. This flooding of the gangster's after-life market with unlimited material goods, success, women, etc., ironically and tragically DESTROYS the novelty and thus value of ALL THINGS in the gangster's afterlife, at which point he realizes he is in fact in hell.
This hell is the same prospect facing those of you yearning and desiring for a BGI, student loan bailouts, and an "unlimited economic utopia." On paper Perfect AI and an army of slave robots may seem great. Until you realize it would relegate every human into a world of unlimited hedonism. A hedonism that would quickly lose its novelty, and thus value, and therefore take away any value, worth, purpose or point of human existence. Yes, you can have one more piece of sushi. Yes, you can have more sex and breed as much as you want. Yes, you can drive Ferraris like every one else. But without a purpose, without a profession, without a connection to the goods you produce from the labor you sacrifice, humans ultimately have no value in an AI world. You are merely "consumers" of materialism who produce nothing of value, nothing of creation, nothing of innovation. Matter of fact, the non-sentient robots and AI software have more value, purpose, and meaning than you as what do you do other than merely exist off of the AI system? In all honesty, most humans in a Perfect AI world might as well commit suicide, and leave the AI system for future, intrepid aliens to discover because most people would ultimately have no point or purpose in life. Besides, the boredom would ultimately drive most people to suicide anyway.
Alas, as we asymptotically approach this Perfect AI world, humans are going to have to find something that gives them value. And as increasing percentages of the economy have become automatic and streamlined, affording an increasing percent of the population an effective "Perfect AI World," many of us already have. But as you'll find out, most of these new "professions" are mere distractions with no actual production of value behind them. Merely masturbation for ultimately worthless humans to feel as if they're producing something today. And as far as my economist eye can tell me, there are going to be five general "labor" classes in the future AI economy (though I speculated on three earlier).
"The Maintainers"
These will be the mandatory humans required to actually keep and maintain the AI system and army of slave robots programmed and operational. A lot of these people already exist in the form of doctors, engineers, programmers, and tradesmen, but no matter how advanced AI and robots get, you're going to need humans to do some work that simply can't be done by a robot. A medical decision. A diagnostic on an auto repair. Even an artistic choice when it comes to having the carpenter robots put siding on your house, humans are going to have to be present to at minimum tell/program the robots and AI what to do to meet changing demands in the economy, as well as maintain the AI infrastructure.
The "Maintainers" will be one of the only two classes that provides genuine value and economic production to society.
"The Sex Workers"
The other group of people who will provide actual, tangible value to society will be the "sex workers." Not so much in terms of actual sex or prostitution, but no matter how many future generations are raised digitally on their cell phones and how many armies of robots we build, human nature will still demand an actual human touch. Massages, pedicures, escorting, cuddling, rent-a-friend, rent-a-family, and yes, actual sex will become a commodity as it always has been.
But an interesting note is how much demand for sexual/human touch will increase if people don't have to work. If you thought the orgies of Senatorial Romans was epic, just wait till there's nothing left to do in life except eat, sleep, defecate and fornicate! An additional interesting note will be the economics of the supply of sex workers. Predominantly, men are the consumers of sex and women are the providers (though there are gigolos too). But in such a gluttonous time, how many women (or men) will actually be physically attractive enough to beget demand? If you want to go down the rabbit hole further, how would they be paid in that in this theoretical unlimited resource utopia? Currency would have no value (actually, it wouldn't exist). If today is any kind of glimpse into the future, substitute goods will likely take over in that most young men today waste years looking at porn online, more women have sex toys than they do husbands, and if the slave robots are that good, then perhaps real women will be off the hook with the advent of Stepford Wives. And what few truly attractive women remain, perhaps can sell used bath water.
If the proposition that sex work would be the only other form of valuable economic work, do not be offended. It's more of a testament to how "utopian" a world would be if we eliminated labor, as well as a testament to human nature. Nearly all forms of actual labor and work would be eliminated, leaving only the pursuit of pleasure on the table. And fun as video games, eating, playing sports, and racing motorcycles is, sex is pretty high up there in terms of human recreational activities. As long as the lights are on, food is unlimited, and we get our free F-16 fighter planes, the only other thing of value would be sex in this future economy.
"The Artists"
With no real work to do many, if not all of us, would inevitably turn to some form of art as a means to create some kind of human expression or creativity. And it doesn't have to be "art" in the classical sense such as painting, sculpture, music, or theater, as much as it could be a hobby or an interest. This isn't bad as it's mentally healthy to pursue hobbies and art (both today and in the theoretical perfect future) and it might be the only thing many people can do. Plus, some people's pursuit of art might accidentally create some value for society.
But the problem with "The Artists" class of labor is one we already see too painfully today - it's flooded with truly talentless people.
Here the future is now as worthless human beings who have NO skill or talent whatsoever flood the creative world with their hideous works of "art." Be it minimalist or modern art museums, horrific noise masquerading as modern opera, equally horrific noise masquerading as top 50 pop chart music, puke-inducing fashion, Disney-remakes, or eye-raping architecture, today's "artistic" world is honeycombed with spoiled trust fund babies who simply didn't want to work, had enough parental money to avoid it, and now create the slop that is considered "art."
But if you thought art was bad now, just wait till NOBODY has to work. Everybody will become an artist. Everybody will become a podcaster. Everybody will become a fashion designer. Everybody will become an author. And as the market is flooded with more and more slop, the overall value of society's art and culture will go down. But worse, very much like it is today, true talent, skill, and artistic talent will not necessarily rise to the top. Today, the reason for this is the art world is the furthest thing from merocratic. Cousins to studio executives get rights to remake 1980's movies in Hollywood, not the future George Lucases. Rich people's worthless children have their art works displayed in museums said parents donate to. People with ins, not necessarily musical talent, get record contracts. etc. etc. But in the future, a lack of struggle, sacrifice, labor, and work will destroy anybody's sense of value, talent, or skill. They will not be able to tell the difference between Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel and "Piss Christ." And since being a true artist takes sacrifice and hard work, nearly nobody in the world of the future will have worked up the skill to create something that is truly beautiful. Alas, the future will be awash with so much worthless art and so many worthless artists, it will only be the works of the past that will carry any true artistic value.
"The Masturbaters"
While you can say there's a chance an artist today or in the future might make something of genuine artistic and economic value, the same cannot be said of "The Masturbaters." I call them the "Masturbaters" because they merely go through the motions of production without actually producing anything of value. Like many of the aforementioned classes, proto-cousins of these future "Masturbaters" exist today in what are largely make-work, welfare jobs programs.
Teachers
Counselors
Psychologists
Social workers
Professors
Museum directors
Site interpreters
National park rangers
Non-profit directors
HR
CSR
Librarians
Outreach directors
Assistant Reserve Vice Adjunct Provost Diversity Director
"Diversity and Inclusion" officers
etc.
We all know (themselves included) that NONE OF THEM are working a real jobs producing real or in demand things. Their employment is either political or truly a welfare program to create make-work for low-skilled, low-IQ, and/or high-laziness people that want to avoid math, STEM, science, or real disciplines that would require real work. And whereas mere welfare-bums are simply parasitic, taking their government money and running, today's "proto-masturbaters" are worse than that in that they not only need the money, but need their egos strokes as well. Ergo, the world bends over backwards to create entire industries of make-work jobs so they can all play "The Land of Make Believe," imagine they're "real working adults," when in reality they are simply egotistical parasites.
That's today. Can you imagine, when there is no need to actually have a real job or real profession, just what a high percentage of the population is going to want to work faux jobs in the Masturbation industry? I'd estimate damn well near half the population will continue to go to school to get some kind of worthless doctorate degree, perhaps coming up with a completely new "Super Doctorate Degree" all so they can go work for some made up non-profit with some self-declared cause or another when the truth is they should just go home, shoot up some heroin, have an orgy, play video games or just plain shoot themselves. Like most of their modern day welfare-jobs cousins, they will have no point or purpose in their career, and the only reason they bother would be to lie to themselves that in going through the motions they have value.
"The Nazis"
Take everything said about The Masturbaters, add ego and power-tripping to the formula, and you get fifth and final labor class - "The Nazis."
Again, like the previous four labor classes you can see the seedlings of the future "Nazis" today. SJW's, crusaders, activists, politicians - the true evil scum of the Earth who are not only too lazy to work a real job, but need to be in power and control. Truly evil people who view their right to an easy life at the expense of others more important than other people's freedom, and will come up with every possible lie, flawed philosophy, and tactic to get it. These vile people have always been with us and forever will. But in a perfect AI, unlimited resource economy, a nightmarish situation will open up.
Right now most people envy those who have more than them. It is the backbone of the democrat party (and all socialist parties in the world). It is what drives most poor and middle income people angry with jealousy and rage. And our main institutions reinforce, as well as capitalize on this envy be it the public schools, politicians, media, or even virtue signaling corporations. But this envy is primarily financial. Through democracy a significant amount of money has been transferred from the producers to the parasites, ameliorating some of this envy (though it will never be enough). However, in the theoretical utopian AI world of unlimited resources, all people would be infinitely rich and there would no longer be any money, income, or wealth to fight over. Again, parasites like Ilhan Omar will be just as rich as Bill Gates, and so the need for political movements of envy masquerading as "wealth redistribution" or "justice" movements will end.
Or will it?
Because you have to understand that for the future "Nazis" it was never necessarily about money as much as it was supremacy. They simply cannot, and will not abide being inferior in ANY way, be it financial or any other metric and here is where the nightmare begins.
While a Perfect AI economy will solve all financial problems, that's all it will solve. And there are nearly an unlimited number of other variables humans will be envious, jealous, and ultimately fight over.
Height
Beauty
Hapiness
Friends
Talent
Intelligence
Humor
Sanity
Health
Discipline
Every possible variable in humans' lives where somebody will be "better off" than another will be targeted by these (literal) Nazis. And like their modern day SJW, politician, activist counterparts, instead of just enjoying the free internet, free food, and gubmint checks, they're going to focus on the rat bastard who;
has a hotter wife
is taller
is healthier
who hits the gym
who diets right
who can run longer
who can paint better
who sings better
who can play the guitar better
or is just plain liked more by other people
And when you realize just how invasive and total their intrusion into your personal life will become, you can see the nightmare.
Are you in shape, diet and work out?
Well screw you, "big is beautiful."
Do you have long hair, keep in shape, and attract quality good looking men?
Well screw you, we're getting tattoos, piercings, shaving our heads and dying our hair blue.
Are you really good at painting, composing, or sculpting?
Well screw you, we're going to give the scholarship to the disadvantaged non-talented person.
Do you have a club for boys that does fun stuff the girls' club doesn't?
Well screw you, we're going to invade your club and accuse you of sexism if you don't!
And are you talking to a woman with the intent of having sex?
Well screw you, we're going to report you to security and make you take sexual deviancy training!
EVERY, and I do mean EVERY aspect of your non-financial life will be interrogated and "redistributed" or at least "regulated" by these future Nazis simply because they have nothing better to do.
But...wait....that's already happening now isn't it?
Today is the Future
As per my previous missives on AI and the future economy, I like to point out how much we're "already here." By all health and important economic measures there really is no wealth disparity. Sure, yes, the billionaires of today have millions times more than some, and yes, most rich people drive a nicer car than I do. But we're all living the same life style, eating the same food driving the same roads. Just ask Steve Jobs how much his billions improved his life above that of Joe America.
But the key thing here is to realize we already effectively do live in an AI economy where the dredges of society do have a BGI, do not have to work, and do not have to support themselves. We do have MILLIONS of "Masturbaters" employed in make work welfare jobs, the sole purpose of which is to protect their egos. We have professional, full time "Nazis" who think it's their right to lord over us and rule us while getting paid. We have millions of worthless, talentless children acting as artists, drowning us in their worthless crap, constantly asking for government grants. And we do have sex workers who provide sex services (though digitally more than ahem..."traditionally."). And supporting ALL OF THIS are the "Maintainers" which is the ever-dwindling number of men and women paying 50% of their salaries in Silicon Valley, commuting in our major metros, slaving away at the machines, or patching us up after attending 8 years of med school. We may not be there yet, but we might as well be.
The Value of a Human in an AI World
Though we will never attain a perfect, 100% AI world where EVERY need, want, and desire of ours is met, I argue we already are effectively there. And we don't need to wait for the perfect Skynet computer to program and dictate to the perfect slave robots to find out what value humans will have in an AI world. We already know what it is.
Zero.
If human behavior today is any predictor of the future, once the AI dream is achieved humans might as well commit mass suicide because there would be no darn good reason to live. Not that there would be no point in life, but human behavior today indicates nobody would capitalize on it, merely just become robots themselves and consume, consume, consume. Yes, the "Maintainers" may want to stay on board to push the limits of science to unlock things like immortality or discovering god. And sure, if some of the "sex workers" want to maintain their physique and stick around to see what's going on, sure. Perhaps even some of you wouldn't mind a hermit life being an artist while your slave robot makes you espresso. You may make some good work. But damn near 90% of the human population would be nothing better than the fat, bloated gluttons portrayed in the movie "Wall-E." Engorging yourselves on food, laziness, sloth, envy politics, career masturbation, and the evil desire to rule and control other people's lives. And what's sad is that's what society is already today.
So enjoy your $2.00 64 ounce sodas.
Enjoy your student loan bailouts for your "Communications Degree."
Enjoy your rascal as you scurry your bloated ass around Wal-Mart.
And enjoy protesting the fact some people worked harder than you and are thus better than you.
You're not going to achieve anything.
You have no value.
You actually likely have negative value.

Price Controls Do NOT Compensate for a Lazy Population
I'll explain ALL of inflationary bouts in the history of economics:
Lying socialists tell the population they deserve free shit.
The dumb population believes this because they are both lazy and dumb.
That lazy dumb population does not work, engage in hard disciplines, and waits for their gubmint check.
Nothing is produced, which means no tax revenues are coming in, so the government prints off more money.
With more money chasing fewer goods inflation or even hyperinflation sets in.
Dumb and lazy population complains about prices increases caused by their own laziness and parasitism.
Socialist politicians "solve" the problem by enacting price controls arbitrarily fixing prices.
Artificially low prices further deters what small percent of the population is working, from working more.
Less goods enter the market.
Store shelves are empty.
This is what's happening in Argentina (again).
If you are too stupid to understand the simple economic process described above you should:
1. Not have the right to vote
2. Not have the right to run for public office.
3. Should plainly shut the fuck up on anything in terms of politics and economics.
4. Live the life of a completely boring, ordinary mass produced human who will do nothing noteworthy in life.
Enjoy the Decline.
