It’s the thing I use to hammer home the idea that our lives are dramatically worse than our parents. I could not dream of paying that mortgage but my mom could pay it as a single mother of two because they bought it in the 80s for 300k and engineer salaries allowed them to pay it.
The house I grew up in is now worth 1.4 million dollars.
It’s clearly not all boomers we get it.
Castro was a lawyer as was Lenin. Che was a medical doctor.
You win again gravity
I don’t agree with your sense of humor I don’t find that funny in the slightest
Those people are already paying though
You can drive through like ten states in a weekend on the east coast
I used to work at a Ralph’s in Santa Monica and no one stole anything ever
I’m considering rooting at this point.
I just spent about 2 hours trying to figure out how to turn off google assistant always listening and turning off the driving mode for maps. Still can’t solve the maps thing. Looking for an alternative, this is getting so shitty.
I bought a pixel because I couldn’t stand the bloatware that came from Samsung devices, now I can’t uninstall chrome or any google apps, fuck this.
Wow I’m american and this is some american kool aide if I’ve ever seen it. The Taliban is evil but the framing of the invasion and occupation as some noble humanitarian effort is like newsmax propaganda.
I do not. Rand explicitly does.
I’m going to respond so hopefully you grow.
Productivity is difficult to measure or define. Intelligence is similar. Regardless, neither of these things define value in a human life. Some people love to cook, some are great at reading comic books. One might be really good at watching TV. In the end, your preference for what is seen as valuable comes to your preference. There’s nothing objective about it. More concretely, in many engineering jobs great engineers are promoted into management positions for which they are ill suited. They make more money, are they not definitionally more productive? Yet the company and team is worse off.
As for your question, Rand is not subtle about her thoughts.
The premise that some people are just better than everyone else is not intelligent. Valuing a person’s worth as a human by measuring their productivity is genocidal.
Let’s be clear here too. There was real dissent in Germany and the Nazis shipped those who fought back to camps first. These people just doing their jobs made their choice.
Your reasons are discussed in the post. Did you just read the first section and then get mad?
No one gives a shit about Hunter Biden outside the Fox News bubble, guy. As for me, having a son who does drugs with sex workers is about the last thing for which I hate Joe Biden.
Capital doesn’t cease to exist under communism, guy. It just stops being controlled by one person.
