the i dont care about politics anymore thread

My friend grew up in soviet russia, she always tells me funny stories about the place.

Like they used to have these vending machines, but they were soda dispensers, like at a fast food restaurant. You had to bring your own glass (she always ephasized glass cups as added absurdity).

Every vending machine had a man whos job it was to keep it clean, paid for and organized by the state. (It takes a village!)

But she said those guys were always drunks and they just would sleep all day drunk and the vending machines were covered in wasps and it was like, you had to fight wasps to get a soda and that's why everyone is so strong and manly in Russia.

Anyway, communism doesn't work because people dont lol

Yea we probably should have 1 political party violently overthrow the existing government with promises of liberty for all.

It never works.

That's the goldilocks ingredient to my post.

You can give reason after reason why individuals do something but the overall facts are if people dont need to work, enough of them wont that it will seizes the motor of the world.

That's all I am saying. Not enough people will want to do the hard jobs unless they need to.

A lot of ppl are quitting because applebees are way worse than any orthodox homo-nid could be and it's easier 2 cash out on the dole and do some onlyfans on the side.

If we could burn down applebees and open up TrannyMClocalDs and source that super woke weird Amish butter at 89c an LB without syndicating contracting out to that international GMO robo cow utter monopoly with a heavy dose of pregnazone and antibiotics. I think we'd see more commerce and be less dependent on the ports and big Wallstreet racket.

U won't tho cuz the popo will knock ur lil BBQ stand over cuz sonny's got the trade mark indefinitely on smokeanything and your countertops better be contracted from an approved source of food manufacturering equipment and exactly 4.56 ft high.

I am just spitballing. If you ever ran a legitimate business on paper tho, u know it's basically just an art in having a legal degree and subscription to a brand with a 4.3 star pedigree.

Applebees was for a generation where working class people had plenty of spending money to blow it on dinning at a place that serves unhealthy cafeteria food. It might hang on awhile but its days are numbered.

I want to work at a soup kitchen paid for outa charity, I'd have premium soups also tho and make the rich kids sit with the poors. And the poor soups would be rly healthy. And ide serve them in hand made ceramic bowls with porcelain ladles. There'd be a fully loaded bouncer with AK and a big flail and spikey studs on his, hers, xerz, xere's sexy uniform at the door & the police would respect my sovereignty.

I'd pay bands like $5 hr to goof around and make some noise, wouldn't require any licensing and DMCA folks would get the flail.

U could get ale, Mead, or bread with a 99 cr upgrade. Cr purchased with rl money or crypto.

Would rather call cr cp or gpl or something.

Capitalism in America is very much a system where you need to be able to sell a product or service to the public be able to be self-sufficient

If you can’t, it’s not as much of a question of whether you’ll starve. You won’t, you can get food stamps and go to food banks. It’s much more of a question of: “where you gonna sleep?” And the answer in a lot of cases is gonna be: outside

But the more accommodating you make your social safety nets, the more people you will find using them. Not even going to make any judgement as to how many or what % might be exploiting them who don’t need to be. Simply stating that if you put out food and bird houses out for the birds in the backyard, you gonna get more birds in the backyard

Why are essentially all subcontractors immigrants?

I'm actually very grateful these guys are safer here and have access to work. And I'm not anti-immagrant. I also can't afford megacorps XYZs maintenance subscription services. So when I find a real contractor, they'll usually subcontract. Even like a real trade, like electrician or HV/AC.

Tell me though. Why can't white people afford to do a job like painting a room or edging a flower bed?

One sight I really dislike seeing in my job is an 18yr old boy (luckily I haven’t seen young girls put in this position because it’s literal sexual assault city) with clean dry clothes holding a duffel bag standing outside the Central Arizona Shelter Services (CASS) hub with a scared look on his face. CASS is basically skid row, it’s where you’d go to buy heroin or meth, sleep with the huge homeless community, and at times get assaulted by someone psychotic or on drugs. And anything you own that isn’t nailed down is gone

The failing of these teens is probably on their parents, but now you have an uneducated teen, usually high school dropouts, who doesn’t have a job or income or any life experience staring down homelessness for the first time in the WORST possible part of the city

Now if I really was a good parent, and I was doing things right, and I still had an out of control defiant teen who was talking about dropping out of school etc….by age 14-16 in that range I would drive him to CASS (our skid row), and say “if you don’t get your shit together by 18, THIS is where you are going to end up”. And he’d know by the dead-ass calm look on my eyes and my voice that I fucking meant it. I’d follow it up with something like “I’m sure you’d try to couch surf with your friends for a while but without contributing finically it’s only a matter of time before they get tired of you and this is where you end up”

Partly why I don’t have kids lol
