2020 Election MEGAthread

[Jibartik]

I didnt quote zuranthiums post and now its gone!

For the sake of argument Id like to offer a contrary opinion on inheritance.

Say there are 2 families, both have kids.

One family decides to spend all their money on vacations, and fancy homes and healthy foods. They watch movies and buy toys for their kids and have a wonderful family unit!

The other family is super strict, and saves all their money, they invest with it, and buy discount everything, their lives are super dry in comparison.

The parents of both children over time pass away.

The kids that had the great childhood see the other kids that have a great adult life because of all the saving and investing their parents did, and are like, "YOOOOO how come you have 2 properties?! I want one, that aint fair! They just GAVE that to you! You didn't earn it"

Idk, think about it. Both families had the same opportunities, they just chose "how to spend their time" and one chose to sacrifice joy now, for security in the future.

You yourself said money is a social fabrication. I agree. Time is the real currency, and it can only be spent or saved to be passed on to your children in the form of currency.

Which means I think it's not fair to say that other's owe you theirs.

I don’t know how Kamala could argue against this reasoning. Actually, she will bring up her skin color and tell you that you’re racist. The end, you lost.

Ive also tried to start my own company, It failed. I can admit it.

After that I changed my tune about "we all are a part of this company and deserve ownership too!"

Now I am like:

After taking my life savings, putting it all on the line, the sleepless nights, the insane stress, the huge losses.. 1) I realized being "the boss" is not for me. and 2) I realized that the guy investing in the "pencil factory", really does put up more, than the guy who gets a paycheck at the pencil factory.

And so, yeah, fiscally I can see a lot of meat in the Anne Rand outlook on business.

But that said I think socialism that trends towards star trek TNG is the ideal way and there are never any republican leaders that would ever appear in any of those episodes as anything but klingons or romulans [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Although if you're trying to counter argue my point here, you're just describing a third family, one that screwed itself over... why should the second family recoop both families losses now? I don't think that changes anything. It just informs you that you need to have a strong family unit, if you're trying to pass your investment to your family unit! That means, you gotta spend that TIME wisely! too much investment, you get trump too little you get kids at CHOP. You want right inbetween.

It just re-enforces the concept that time is the only currency that really matters so dont invest too much that you realize you never got you enjoy it and that might eventually cause your shitty life lessons imparted on your kids/sister will cause them to lose it!

BUTTT since you read it and took it seriously

my opinion is usually small gov. i am not sure if that's left or right anymore but i guess that doesn't actually matter

not that we were specifically talking about governance but i get that sense when people are talking about "the way things should be" or "imagine if this, here's what's right" - what I read is "the way we should write and enforce laws"

and i dont think those should be written in a vacuum because real life is filled with edge cases

this election is an edge case, its unique in many ways; our community is an edge case, luckily we got some sort of approval from the copyright holders

ya namean? it's sort of a non-answer to a non-question but dear livejournal
