Enter a homeless shelter each morning. Do my thing. Walk out a richer man than I was when I walked in.
Not all gain is monetary
Hey Democrats! Stop with the warnings and actually do something. Trump has made it clear that he doesn't fucking care. Giving him "warnings" is what led to this in the first place, you feckless dimwits.
Seriously...how long before someone finds a way to put one in his brain pan? Every day he pisses a new group off...it's gotta happen sooner or later.
Quite literally impossible to implement. Same as true "Libertarianism". Can't actually exist.
Look at it this way. You and your neighbours want no government. No taxes. No laws. No "authority" telling you what to do and how to do it. Great!
What happens when the road needs to be fixed? Do you fix just the road in front of your house? Or do you negotiate with your neighbours for you all to pay a fair share to get the entire road done? Congratulations...you just invented government.
So now the road is getting done, but the people doing the work really don't want to deal with every individual for every particular decision. It's a much better idea to elect one person to do the communicating. Congratulations...you just invented civics and beaurocracy
This person that you all agreed to handle all of this stuff doesn't have time anymore to support himself or his family because he's dealing with your shit, so he demands that each of you pay an amount to keep in able to feed himself while he administrates your "anarchic society." Congratulations...you just invented taxes
Replace "roads" with literally anything else in a community and the end result is the same. Both Libertarians and Anarchists are fucking morons.
Cajun blackened chicken remains one of my favourite things to eat ever.
I don't disagree that it matters. But I can't help but think of every block of Cheetolini's agenda as just temporary because he'll simply keep taking it higher and higher until it hits the supreme court, and gets his way anyway.
That was his entire plan from the beginning. He knows that literally everything he tries to do is going to get challenged. And he knows that if he sticks to his guns and it gets to the SC, he wins every time.
If the SC was unbiased, I wouldn't be so brazen about it. But we are at the point where nothing will make a permanent difference except dragging him and his cronies through the streets and damn the personal consequences.
The tree of liberty and all that jazz...
Edited to add: I should point out that I'm not American. I'm a Canadian who is terrified of your shit spreading north and dragging us into a fight we don't want and literally begging you guys to fucking do something about it.
The only backlash that matters in the end is the one that sees him hanging from his ankles in the middle of a town square. Until then, he'll just try something else.
Unless someone actually does something, he effectively is a king.
No matter their performative differences, politicians will always protect each other regardless of party affiliation.
In a perfect world, I would be independently employed from home (a writer, or something similar), living on a small acreage just outside a small city. Not too far away that I can't go in for supplies or things on a regular basis, but not too close that I'm bothered by the city lights on the horizon. Maybe 10 kilometres or so outside of a medium sized city.
On that acreage, I'd strive to be as self-sufficient as possible. Have a garden, for example. Solar Panels, Geothermal, etc... I'd develop relationships with my local neighbours. purchase a half a side of beef from a rancher to my left. Some eggs and fryers from a farmer to my right. Spend my evenings in my woodworking shop making furniture and other things that strike my fancy.
If a banker is what it takes to keep an under-educated career politician who has literally never had an actual job in his life...I'll happily take it.
It's wild that his star stayed high for another SEVEN years after this before people finally caught on. You would have thought this would have been a pretty early warning.
