"No more talking about the homeless"

[technomadness]

Heidi talks about luck, but I see a lot of not giving up and pursuing possibilities that turned out to be “lucky”. That’s pulling yourself up by the bootstraps.

And while you can have unlucky events— as everyone does— perseverance eventually results in success.

The important thing, though, is not to squander it when you get it. Nurture the success and save wisely for the future.

Cause when you are over 50 it’s a lot harder to bounce back against particularly bad luck.

If we had stayed true to the founding principles of this country there would be no federal reserve, no terrorism and no poverty. Poverty and homelessness and drug addiction are all three consequences of our oppression.

Drugs are addictive because of the drug war. When you criminalize something you incentivize snuggling. The economics of smuggling mean that more potency in smaller areas is more profitable. This instead of chewing bulky cocoa leaves we get cocaine, and then crack.

I’ve been homeless myself but fortunately I had both a good safety net and a high value skill.

For those that don’t, or that have medical disabilities, we need a charity system. Charities are a whole lot more effective than government at solving problems.

But do long as the government is taking all the money via taxes and the federal reserves monetary inflation, there is a lot less available for private charities.

Hell, instead of saving for retirement we are all forced to pay into the social security Ponzi scheme.
