It's stunning how many people seem to forget that there are other countries on the planet that use dollars and weren't involved in Vietnam. No, I'm not making an assumption. The person who posted this is Canadian.

Y'all really need to take a step back and reflect a little bit.

I'd rather be born a billionaire so I don't have to do shit

[-] andybytes@programming.dev 1 points 51 minutes ago

So I think a lot of billionaires, especially the younger ones of today, are all on kind of uppers or drugs. You know, because they're always busy doing shit, meddling, and trying to bring about stupid ideas that no one asks for. Honestly, if we lived in more of a socialist society, I predict a lot of progress. And people doing shit. Because the last thing I want to do is just sit around and not do shit. But because I can't find meaningful work and an environment that isn't antisocial, it causes me to not be productive. If the capitalist want us to be productive, but they're the ones getting in the way of the productiveness. And now our economy is just this empty void. I've lived long enough around about 40 years and I can tell you things just get worse And I mean horrificly worse i've worked on my feet, worked with my hands, real jobs., and I can tell what seems like optimism is just your ignorance to the constant decline that is promised. It's just diminishing returns until once again we are sent to another world war to die for nothing. We're getting close to another nuclear weapon being used. Who is the only country that's ever done this? Oh, that's right, the United States. And once again, they will do it again.
