Complaining about prices and asking for special discounts because they are old. Buddy, you dismantled all the social safety nets and voted to privatize poo poo, reap what you sow.

Dad showed me a cartoon with some some guy captioned "socialism fails every time!". We live in a country with socialized medical care and other safety nets.

Is it a socialist country, or is it a country with well regulated enterprise?

I'm def not an expert in any of it. I just think that if even Australia can manage universal healthcare then there's really no reason that America can't(besides greed and corruption)

Canada.

I wouldn't say it's a socialist country or that a lot of social safety nets are particularly well run, but it's a step above the meat grinder south of our border.

Recycling is a scam though and boomers have little to do it. Doesn't mean that you should litter or create undue amounts of trash but recycling as practiced today sure as gently caress won't help anyone even reduce environmental damage caused by our consumer society. We are all doomed and individuals can't fix it :wink::capitalism:

Yeah target shooting is insanely fun and idk why people act like it's not. I mostly do archery (guns, even air rifles are a bit of a chore to get here) and it's a fun hobby for people of all ages :blastu:

It is just meaningless anxiety though. Literally any number of completely random and drat near unpredictable events can kill you right now and you have literally no way to stop them even if you were in a fully staffed hospital/underground bunker. I'd say an armed invasion of a visibly occupied house leading to your death is pretty loving low on the list, these things don't happen that often and almost never randomly. Don't piss off the wrong people though.

If anything statistics show that you most likely already know your future murderer. They are close to you and they know where you live :tinfoil:

Could be your wife, your boyfriend, your brother, your aunt, your best friend even. Best distance yourself from any human contact and install a fortified iron door.

I agree but also believe most positions shouldn't exist after decades. Until we admit that 50%+ jobs are busy work at least.

I'm all for universal welfare but if we can't have that, I'd rather settle for busywork careers as opposed to busywork part time jobs :shrug:
