People live in a social hierarchy. Being a diligent worker is one of many factors others judge us on. Saying this doesn't matter is fantasy.

Life hack: Drive a 20+ year old car with tiny rims, thick rubber and soft suspension. Works great. Less great if you have an accident.

That's a plus. Once you start getting very anxious etc. when hungover it can seem very tempting to fix it with a drink or two.

No no, the cables are never needed until after you've actually thrown them out. This is the way.

I, for one, love reading posts about how everyone who disagrees politically with the poster is evil. Such a healthy outlook on life.

What? I definitely respect my harder working co-workers more than the others.

Raising the general retirement age doesn't preclude having some leeway for different professions.

Here the general retirement age is 67, but anywhere from 60-80 is generally possible. 70 at the latest for public employees for some reason.

Seems like 25% of those that are "only criticizing the Israeli government" actually believe Jews secretly run the world, when you push them.

Sure, that ultra specific thing might or might not work in your specific country, I don't have a clue. I'm talking worldwide.

If people are living longer than just increasing the retirement age is likely to be one of the less painful option.

You can tackle this e.g. by increasing pension savings (or taxes, depends on the system), lowering pensions or raising the retirement age.

Yes yes, everyone who doesn't agree with you is an evil monster.

People are living longer and therefore drawing pension for longer. In an aging population this will strain the pension system.

Santorum is a weirdo but raising the retirement age isn't necessarily silly.

Maybe some extra squishy 20 kg plates so the crossfitters can throw them around more safely?

Yeah sure, better to buy milk and boots from the state store. They know better than you anyway what you need and how much of it.

Eh. If we want to blame every Chinese citizen who's bought the CCP koolaid then we have a lot of people to blame.

I mean... Kravitz is stupidly good-looking, that's not the same.

Given that Russia wants Reps and Dems to hate and fight each other, OP is unknowingly playing the unpaid Russian shill in this scenario.

I know it as a block flute, first time I've heard the proper English name.

Doesn't that almost fit the character?

The things you have to forbid in order to prevent B pretty much negate the existence of A in any real way.

If you can't lease out your land then you aren't free to use your property. And if you can't sell your work then you don't control yourself.

That's not a separate system. If you allow A (my definition) then B follows (your definition). If you allow work for wages, at least.

If you have private property and the right to freely buy and sell it and otherwise use it to profit then you have rudimentary Capitalism.

Because you aren't going to forbid people to own things and profit off of them for very long before you're overthrown, or worse.

Capitalism just is. People want to own tings and profit off of them. If this will lead to the end of the world then we are screwed.

A lot of you people are blind to your own biases.
