  • I laughed during this entire tirade and gave you a thumbs up because of it. I’m a Dane and won’t return the insult of being labeled an American. But I don’t appreciate your tired arguments that privatization of public utilities is a necessary good, like what my own country did with its rail system. I don’t appreciate the reality of millions of hands that extend to reach safe borders to be told “no, we have too many workers already” when the issue isn’t “enough work” but private profit and governments colluding around the gold pile they’ve built. There is no societal burden except the ones we create for ourselves.





  • Our friend below details this fairly well, but in a society where “my” taxes are a sign of ownership of debt, do you really think that’s healthy? How about the alternative where everyone has the same investment and therefore the same access to public goods and services? Feel free to double down, but I just don’t see the point of people arguing the necessity to own debts incurred on them from a structurally unsound social and economic system. It’s weird and has the aire of Stockholm Syndrome.











  • It’s always funny to me when people complain about others restricting their slouching on a flight. The way j get around this is to get up every 30-45 minutes and stretch, take a little jaunt around the aisles and if I’m not grossed out by the first peep at the lavatory, take care of business, since I’m sipping on water the entire flight to combat jet lag. I must be in a hidden third category that doesn’t care too much about reclining my seat. If others recline, that’s okay because they’ll quickly learn that every half hour or so, they’re gonna have to push that seat upwards so I can get in and out. And if they don’t, they can explain why to the attendant I’ll be grabbing shortly.
