Socialism working its magic. People less inclined to work when they can just get free stuff.

I love Pink FloydSo?
what is the purpose of life?
work until you die and become mulch?
control others?
what’s wrong with free stuff?
what if you work because you want to, not have to?
Carbon tax does not work if people get free stuff and don't work. Physics.carbon tax
That doesn't make any sense. Logic.Carbon tax does not work if people get free stuff and don't work. Physics.
" it wasnt even what we pay"Or to rephrase, people less willing to work for poverty wages when given other choices. Some of us see that as a good thing, you of course want people to suffer and remain in poverty.
Businessmen (and they are mostly men) are panicking about not having enough employees to exploit." it wasnt even what we pay"
There's a crisis in the economy, the government should pay people to go to work, says Barry Sternlicht
The shrinking U.S. workforce during the Covid pandemic is "going to cripple" the economic recovery, businessman Barry Sternlicht warned Wednesday.www.cnbc.com
Einstein was a German when he made most of the best known discoveries.Ok, I relent. AT&T (Bell Labs), GE, Microsoft, Apple, Google, Facebook, Amazon, Tesla, IBM, HP, Oracle, Dell, Pfizer, J&J, Space-X, Blue Origin got nothing on those socialist democrat companies when it comes to innovation.
NASA pales in comparison - unless you believe they put a man on the moon.
Sloan Kettering, Dana Farber, Mayo, Cleveland Clinic - just following protocols developed in socialist democracies.
Whitney, Ford, Edison, Bell, Wright, Salk, Einstein - inconsequential.
Equality of opportunity requires an element of socialism. It's not black and white. Kids need to be able to attend schools (K-12), regardless of how their parents are doing financially. There needs to be universal fire and police protection. Those are all elements of socialism necessary to ensure equality of opportunity. And while I'm not an advocate of universal free college nor full forgiving of college debt, college costs are a legit issue that needs some kind of attention to ensure equality of opportunity is preseved; either additional government grants, better quality government loans, forgiveness of loan interest, and/or something to reduce the ballooning costs of college educations.I mentioned it.
Successful at what?
Where did COVID vaccines come from? COVID treatments?
Which major innovation in the past 50 years came from there?
Which stopped Nazi Germany?
We live in the most equitable society in the world. Equity of opportunity, not outcomes.
Lets see, before loans were given for college, things were much cheaper. They still can be. I know so many who got loans and went to Hawaii on them. If their parents cannot teach them the value of money. I never got a loan. Got out of college in 3 years, 27 unit a quarter. Worked full time in summer and went to night school. Got out with zero debt. My kids out with zero debt. So this excuse of college being expensive is well, .. Guess what, if I want to live in SF, its expensive.Equality of opportunity requires an element of socialism. It's not black and white.

Von Neumann (Hungarian) also.@h2ofun not liking the fact a lot of inventions were invented outside the US then?
Besides the facts I listed above, the Personal Computer is directly traced to another British invention ("bombe") and inventor, Alan Turing.
I sort of am. Low-cost community college ($250 per semester?) for top half of high-school class. After 2-years associates degree, top half get 2 years low-cost ($1000 per semester?) state university for bachelor's degree. Graduate with bachelor's degree and $5000 or less in debt.while I'm not an advocate of universal free college
Guess what,
Houston is one of cheapest cities to live in US of A.
Uni of Houston is over 5 digest per semester now, about $100k for 4 years.
Everyone in the community should pay for education because highly educated people benefit the entire community. However, if a student chooses to 'go away to college' they should be responsible for their own room and board. Exception: highly gifted students who go to MIT or some other similar school. I believe right now "going away to college' is mainly about tuition fees.UH tution and fees is $12k/yr for instate, add in $1k for books, or $52k over four years. (Yes, living at a sleep-away college costs extra for room and board, but why should kids who don't go to college pay higher taxes so others in their HS class can 'go away' to college?)
