Everywhere is bad, some places are better.  The midwest is just alright as a whole but has shitheads like anywhere else. I wouldn't want to live anywhere coastal (Cali, Florida, Carolinas, etc) that I've been so far either. But they're all fine to visit.  For those political texts I just reply "Stop" and then get an unsubscribe notification right away.

I mean, sure, they don't loving work for their money, but damnit, if you have to lose your job so they each make 1/2 a cent more...whelp, be glad you are making the rich richer. gently caress capitalism, gently caress corporations, gently caress the rich. Or eat them. The whole system is a goddamn loving scam that is designed to exploit those of us who actually work for a living and contribute to society, rather than be some parasitic sack of poo poo rich gently caress.

I was planning on taking my old 5DII to Vegas, but I got a silly idea. I bought a dirt cheap, fully beat to poo poo 1DII on eBay with a 6 month warranty. I'm going to take that with a nifty fifty and just shoot the poo poo out of everything. No need to worry about banging up nice gear, since it's already thrashed. I'm anxious to get a shutter count on it and see if it's over or under 500k actuations.

Since many of the shareholders probably are average people who invest their meager earnings to try to save for the future without getting hosed by lower than inflation interest on savings accounts, I'd wager that many shareholders work very hard for their money. I'm pretty happy about what capitalism has brought us in Sweden. (I get your point though). On the other hand, US is pretty hosed up when it comes to the socioeconomic gaps though. People don't really get anything for all the hard work they put in, and only seem to keep getting more and more hosed by the American dream. I mean in Europe you might make a lot less and get taxed higher, but at least you get free(ish) healthcare, decent schools, free(ish) higher education and so on.

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL most people dont have pensions and most people who have a 401k available do not have much or any savings in them, because they're paid so little they cannot afford to invest in a 401k.

And most of those are put into ETF's, so the people "buying the stocks" in their 401k aren't actually getting the shares

Ether Frenzy posted:Thanks, I needed a chuckle California is ridiculously far left, I'm not sure anyone but a radical leftist would think otherwise. And no, that's not a poke at you. Their leftist policies make national news for being leftist. The divide between the far-left of California and centrists-or-further-right is also something of a joke - remember the quickly-squashed effort to split the state into three; effectively because the non-far-left wanted to stop living under the tyrrany of the masses of leftists?
