Freedom Town: Aesthetic and Recreational Lawn Alternative

- Start date
Yeah it's getting pretty bad all over the country. Cost of living is getting retarded, but wages aren't going up at all. Seattle is gonna be interesting because yeah they're getting $15 an hour now, but I can almost guarantee prices will start hiking up for everything evening it back out again.
The shit with my apartment is pissing me off how they raise my rent every single year to the point they want me to pay $300 more than I did 3 years ago, but my money hasn't gone up at all in those 3 years and all my money comes from Government sources which shows how crazy it is. The Government ain't raising Government wages, yet cost of living is raising like crazy and my wages are supposedly set by area code cost of living. What the fuck.
I think somebody from Portland in here was talking about some similar shit there, think it was evergreenrider. Said Portland got so crazy raising cost of living, but no wage increases he had to move way out to the suburbs.
[tinfoilhat]Shit is nuts and I feel like it's purposefully orchestrated to start turning more middle class poor and making the poor even poorer to eventually have a tighter control on people.[/tinfoilhat]

I don't have to tell you things are bad. Everybody knows things are bad. It's a depression. Everybody's out of work or scared of losing their job. The dollar buys a nickel's worth; banks are going bust; shopkeepers keep a gun under the counter; punks are running wild in the street, and there's nobody anywhere who seems to know what to do, and there's no end to it.
We know the air is unfit to breathe and our food is unfit to eat. And we sit watching our TVs while some local newscaster tells us that today we had fifteen homicides and sixty-three violent crimes, as if that's the way it's supposed to be!
We all know things are bad -- worse than bad -- they're crazy.
It's like everything everywhere is going crazy, so we don't go out any more. We sit in the house, and slowly the world we're living in is getting smaller, and all we say is, "Please, at least leave us alone in our living rooms. Let me have my toaster and my TV and my steel-belted radials, and I won't say anything. Just leave us alone."
Well, I'm not going to leave you alone.
I want you to get mad!
I don't want you to protest. I don't want you to riot. I don't want you to write to your Congressman, because I wouldn't know what to tell you to write. I don't know what to do about the depression and the inflation and the Russians and the crime in the street.
All I know is that first, you've got to get mad.
You've gotta say, "I'm a human being, goddammit! My life has value!"
So, I want you to get up now. I want all of you to get up out of your chairs. I want you to get up right now and go to the window, open it, and stick your head out and yell,
"I'm as mad as hell,
and I'm not going to take this anymore!!"

I don't know man, we're still pretty young and they're already starting to automate a lot of minimum wage jobs like fast food lol the food making process is getting less human involved. Just in the last year I've seen machines people order on now at Jack In the Box and Taco Bell instead of ordering at the register.
Even your industry is getting automated at a lot of theaters. Automated ticket machines. Self serve freestyle fountains for drinks. Bottled soda and candy machines. Digital projectors so people don't have to change film. If they make an automated way to serve popcorn and nachos the movie theaters will be complete lol

I was more or less speaking total automation hence the 99.9%. We are along ways from that. Well not a long way I guess if you take into consideration how old the planet is and all that. But yeah not going to be in our lifetime (total or near total once again).

Also we have more people working at the theatre now than we did back then and attendance numbers are way down from when I first started of course for obvious reasons so figure that one out.

It's actually do-able if not but only if you live within your means which most people don't regardless of the amount of money they make.

Pretty soon Americans are gonna be on China status with a large portion of the population working in sweat shops lol
White American kids putting together iphones for shit wages and that same iphone turns around and gets sold to some poor fuck who might not be sweat shop poor, but still poor and that iphone will be added to his already retarded cell phone contract adding another $50 a month that he can't afford.
lol fuck
