well, you’d die very wealthy so there is that

i retired at 35 and am now 60, i have nothing like what people say they need here. i have been investing since i was 19, i have a gf, a modest cottage in a small town in Australia, no debts and we travel thru SE Asia 8 months a year.

There’s people living on way less with really interesting lives out there who don’t work.

man, i used to program games in Assembler back in 1983 when i owned a C64, so this brings back some memories. I have no idea why you’d bother though I appreciate the work.

The Amiga (I had a A1000 and then an A1200) was such a giant leap forward I’m not sure why he didn’t work with that ?

We are the richest fucking country in the world, we need to take care of our people no matter who they voted for.

which matters for noting if you give most of it to a few people. Such vast inequality is a cancer itself. Pikety has done so much work on that for example.

i still remember listening to a interview with Yannis Varoufakis a couple years ago, who said he was driving through the US and his car needed some work done, so he’d stripped in a biggish town having breakfast and ends up talking to some guy, salt of the earth, stand up guy Yannis opined… who ended up letting it be known he was bankrupt, $160k medical debt, Yannis was aghast and said he must be upset at his governments health policies ? The dude was apparently taken aback and said bo, not at all, he blamed himself for being so poor, that he deserved it for not being successful.

no, those who have been exposed to it for a long time, the youth there are rejecting it when they can, look what happened in Belarus when the tried Ukraine eschewed the yoke, paid the price and aren’t being supported enough, so theres that danger as well. Those who haven’t are too stupid to learn from the mistakes of others.

South American is nearly all going MSAGA, if Brazil goes, Mexico is the last one standing. People voted for Trump, twice, Italy, France, UK, Germany, Australia are all swinging that way. Russia is lost.

SE Asia is led by dictators in Vietnam, Thailand, Cambodia, China and Laos, the only place pushing back is Myanmar, Bangladesh is balanced as is Sri Lanka. India has an authoritarian Hindu nationalist, Africa is a shit show from Kagame on down and on and on.

Being cruel, stupid and greedy are now badges of honour.
