I'm 83...and I still care. I'd say, "We'll see how things go"...but at 83, I most probably will not see how this plays out in the long run. The judici...
Okay...stick with that. At one point in our history, there were people who stuck with the notion that kids should be put to work in coal mines...and w...
There are lots of ways of gaining money that does not involve productive work, NOS. Marrying into it, inheriting it, swindling others out of it are ju...
I guess you are correct...it shouldn't surprise. But it does. I find it incredible that 5 people intelligent enough to want to engage in discussion in...
Anyone who cannot be more productive than another human...or a machine, robot, or computer... ...should take up the job of "stay out of the way" speci...
As I have mentioned several times...these days, one should be able to EARN one's living by simply staying out of the way. There are people who do more...
BINGO! The UBI is coming...and there will come a day when people will wonder why it took so long to get here. My guess is the UBI will get here within...
All that neoliberal/neoconservative/liberal/libertarian/conservative labeling nonsese ought to be outlawed in conversations of this sort. It reminds m...
Everything not absolutely needed, essentially is a bullshit product. Anyway...not only should we all have shorter work weeks...some people should NOT ...
Okay. But whether the result of PWE or not...the exploitation of labor has got to stop. It has to stop dead in its tracks...and it must stop immediate...
We cannot say almost anything with certainty... ...but with regard to etymology and "whether this word preceded this other" can be determined by etymo...
MY OPINION: The solution will not be found in lowering the working hours from 8 to 4 or to 2 or to 1. The solution will involve getting rid of the "Pr...
The problem IS capitalism. At least "capitalism" as we have managed to mold it. And make no mistake about it...the factor of production that will ALWA...
Only an opinion, but we do seem to be spending a lot. The thing that I take into consideration is that every cent the government spends...someone else...
Yes I am, Tim. Good catch. I originally wrote $800 billion (with a "b")...and then thought it would be more dramatic with the zero's. Screwed it up. S...
We've grown so used to war over the centuries...it is almost a way of life.But what the hell would we want to fight wars for now? Would anyone want to...
You are correct...it was long. It seems you are more interested in lecturing than in discussing. If you get around to where you want to discuss instea...
Bierce was a genius. I have written a couple of published op ed pieces that advocate for requiring each state here in the US to send one male senator ...
What possible difference does it matter whether "Jesus" ever lived or not? There were some teachings that somebody (or a group of somebodies) develope...
Right now, I am wishing you could be a little inconsistent. You ARE being consistent...being a nudge; being a troll; being unnecessarily disagreeable....
By the way...if you would stop digging for a moment and take a look at those two quotes... ...you will see a world of difference in what was being sai...
You are digging a hole for yourself, Baden...and I do not mind encouraging you to dig deeper. If you need a sharper spade or shovel...just ask. I'll b...
Yes, I imagine for someone who has lived a humdrum life and gotten laid infrequently, that may seem to be "talking badly about women." It is not...and...
I have nothing but the greatest of respect for women...and have not said anything a sane person would consider dishonorable to them. Yeah...I've bedde...
I have not morphed into Trump...and although I previously thought you were a decent, intelligent poster with whom I mostly agreed, I see I was wrong. ...
Good material. One thing I noted: "Lack of objection is not consent. " Precisely. When I was in my rampage days, I made a deal with myself...and prett...
I had a period in my life after a divorce where I was promiscuous...banged any woman willing. I was a lucky guy...and there were MANY willing. I had n...
Nothing sick about it. Just something to be considered. The story Tara Reade told may have a seed of truth...but there is no way he just penetrated he...
Yeah...with the woman's total cooperation. Ended up on the floor before we got hurt. Anyone who disagrees with me on this has probably never tried it....
About the Tara Reade Charge: Here is the charge: Former aide, Tara Reade, who briefly worked as a staff assistant in Mr. Biden’s Senate office, told T...
Almost any response I want to make to that would probably get me banned...so I'll just say...what you thought a decade ago may have changed significan...
It is indeed. And so is the reasoning Baden is using in this argument. He normally makes lots of sense. I have no idea of what kind of bug has gotten ...
In November of this year, Baden...unless something catastrophic happens, the choice for Americans will be between the nominee of the Republican party ...
Because it is...and for no other reason. Okay...then don't vote. If you want to delude yourself into thinking the difference between Trump and Biden i...
I certainly am not saying that insuring that everyone has plenty is going to be easy selling to the people of a country such as ours...where greed see...
You seem to think there is some substantive irreconcilable difference between what I said...and the Marx quote. There really isn't. I am just saying t...
He offers them freedom from Trump...and the damage he can do. When I was asked a form of this question during the 2016 run-up, I answered that same wa...
I truly wish I could give this a more dignified review, Street...but the most honest comment I can make about this involves just two words: Bull shit....
I didn't vote...my choice was not there. I think the American form of capitalism is close to disgusting...and I suspect that "the American form of cap...
BINGO! And since earliest time...TAXES have been a bugaboo for people. I once wrote an essay that took aim at many people with whom I was in substanti...
