Then can we have meaningful change?

If the pen is mightier, Indy, then the touchscreen keyboard is our elegant weapon for a more civilized age. Obviously it’s not going so well. Be happy we’ve some blasters and expertise laying around. It’s good peace of mind.

Star Wars. They were part of the rebel alliance and traitors to the empire. But, the cops couldn’t hit anything until one of them broke out a shotgun loaded with heat-seeking shot and fired it point blank. Don’t judge too harshly. They can’t see a thing in those helmets.

Most relevant today seems to be the 2nd law of thermodynamics.

Making a rainbow can be a quite spooky action at a distance. So, when our waves start acting like particles, remember that we’re all entangled in this increasingly disordered mess. That’ll be the difference between mood lighting and a laser.

Hello good Sir and potential investor. Here at Disney we commodify the art quickly, pushing to saturation, hooking a generation. From Mickey Mouse to Star Wars and Snow White to Marvel - Rest assured we’ll always be “the next Disney”.

Our potential plans for the future include becoming a bank and going mask off to buy the state of Florida.

Questions?

I need to start by saying that wife and I realize we are fiscally privileged relative status quo and ethically act upon that truth.

We’ve have been much happier since we sold the vast majority of our material possessions. There’s far less for us to worry about and slave to pay for. We’ve far more freedom to act morally and ethically in our choices.

We combined dematerialization with the Vimes Boots Theory of Economic Unfairness:

The reason that the rich were so rich, Vimes reasoned, was because they managed to spend less money. Take boots, for example. … A really good pair of leather boots cost fifty dollars. But an affordable pair of boots, which were sort of OK for a season or two and then leaked like hell when the cardboard gave out, cost about ten dollars. … But the thing was that good boots lasted for years and years. A man who could afford fifty dollars had a pair of boots that’d still be keeping his feet dry in ten years’ time, while a poor man who could only afford cheap boots would have spent a hundred dollars on boots in the same time and would still have wet feet.

Modest home. Stone fruit trees. Nice big pole barn for projects.

My wife and I have been searching for community and reasonable housing costs. My data analyst self began mad research of all sorts for about a year. Then, we moved into a vehicle and explored for eight months.

Boots on the ground, we learned that everything is much, much better if you’re at least 40 minutes from the closest Walmart. This is harder than it seems. It’ll likely be an hour+ commute to a workplace with decent pay. But, it’s been consistently true wherever we’ve traveled (US): No Walmart nearby means a solid community and cheap land.

We found a place we like. My wife accepted a job offer today. We bought a 14’ enclosed utility trailer and will build a temporary home in the two weeks before we leave, avoiding rent and mortgage until we find the perfect piece of land.

We intend to change the social contract.

But, muh’ capitalism!

If it doesn’t work then we’ve killed all these socialists and communist for nothing.

(Do I need a /s here? Is it obvious? Should be obvious.)

My first job in high school I asked what my title was. I was a mail clerk.

The owner of the company, as a joke, had business cards printed up for me that read: Deputy to the Assistant Vice President of Mailroom Operations.

I felt kinda special until he also printed some for his dog and started handing them out to any visitor that pet him.

Fuck. I’m being a self-centered American, again. I’ll do better in the future. Thanks for the help.

It puzzles me why leftist parties don’t all embrace lower taxes for the middle class.

They all do. My best guess as to why you’d say this is that you’re including Democrats.

edit: Or, I could be a self-centered American that didn’t consider others. I’ll do better.

At risk of a strawman…

The shortest path to equality is to greatly reduce taxes on the middle class and increase them on the wealthy.

That’s what’s best for equality and for economic growth. Does this mean Democrats are horribly incompetent? Perhaps it’s that equality and economic growth aren’t their goals.

Outside, the sign says “Heros Work Here”. Inside, two people do the work of four.
