Weren't draft horses slaves? They worked all day and all they got for it was a warm barn and a bucket of oats. Slave owners housed (and fed) their horses and slaves, even when there was no work. Northern factory owners laid off immigrant workers when there was no work and they were free to starve.
Today many people have half of the product of their labors taken and given to others who do not work at all. Of course taxing rich people and supporting the jobless is different, right?
I would so like for all the owners of coal fired plants to have shut down over the holidays. 40% of the US goes dark. How many minutes would it take the states governors to send the state police out and have the plant operators back on the job at gun point?
Most of the population growth in the third world was literally fed by the West's subsidized farmers. Remember the food riots caused by using food for ethanol. If the West is poor no food for billions of third world citizens. They will quickly become extinct.
Take away farmer's diesel powered tractors and production subsidies, mothball all those bunker fueled container ships. Billions will starve and global warming will still get worse before it gets cooler.
The most humane solution, massive education and forced birth control campaigns. By the time coastal areas start flooding those affected can migrate to the depopulated high ground. This will never happen of course, get ready for war and pestilence.
Eraser on end of pencil, make a mistake, flip pencil around, erase mistake, flick rubber crumbs away, reverse pencil, resume writing.
Separate eraser, make mistake, put down pencil, start looking for eraser. After searching all around your chair surmise that it, being bouncy, has bounced UNDER your chair. Get down on hands and knees, retrieve eraser. Return to your chair and erase mistake. Look for your pencil, no, it's not under your chair, being round it has rolled much farther. After finding the pencil you notice that your paper has blown on the floor and now has a footprint in the middle of it. Lather, rinse, repeat, at least that's what would happen to me.
If you were "really" smart YOU would be the boss. Your boss must be fairly smart, he knew enough to hire you didn't he. I worked with a genius co-worker. He was banned from a DoD job maintaining ballistic missiles when he told his supervisor the next days entry code, and was right. We made a good team, We worked together for two different bosses who were self-made millionaires, they hated him because he wanted to do things his way and was always right. Someone who is always right is annoying as Hell.
What's wrong with a sprinter? He has to do it NOW. Most great minds do their best work in their 20s or early 30s. He may blaze a trail for the more pedestrian to follow.
One of the "crap" bands from my 60s high school days still performs locally. Think Lynyrd Skynyrd, they played the same clubs. My high school's talent shows ROCKED!
I farmed for almost forty years. There's nothing more glorious than guiding a tractor through the field smelling the fresh turned soil. Unfortunately, most of the time you were not doing that. It ranged from wet, freezing rain to sweltering, dusty heat. My hands are so crippled I had to go on disability. I can't enjoy gardening or fishing now that I have the time. I enjoyed my work but would have quit years sooner if hadn't needed the money.
I have a 22 year old son. He has worked part time while taking classes and by Christmas should have his AA degree. He lives with his older brother who is going to support him as he tries to finish his degree. He is perfectly content to play Mine craft, build computer systems, watch TV and play his guitar. His girlfriend complained on Face Book that she was lonely this weekend because he was too "busy" to see her. At this rate I will never get any grandchildren.
Polymath, that's me. Things I do for myself or have been paid to do. Navy training to help run engine room and perform damage control on steam powered destroyer. Operated farm performing bookkeeping, payroll, operated heavy equipment, welding. diesel mechanic, repair hydraulic and pneumatic systems, maintain and program automated packaging machines, install and service commercial refrigeration and AC systems. Install commercial and residential electrical and lighting wiring. Repair and install automobile engines and ac systems. Install cable and satellite TV systems. Home building, carpentry, woodworking. Computer repair and programing. Safely collect, store, and prepare for transport hazardous waste.
When the reactor is operating it is making steam that has to go somewhere. If they rebuilt the boiler they are venting the steam to clean out the lines. When the coal fired plant near me was nearing completion they blasted steam from a large vent pipe for hours. I live five miles away and it sounded like jet fighter taking off. Several bolts, nuts, and even a wrench was found in the vent's strainer.
I feel your pain. My Samsung 61 in DLP had a beautiful picture. Movies looked great. Got a 55 in 3D Samsung to replace it. Movies look like 60s soap operas, everything else has a whitish foggy tint. Selecting movie 1 or 2 makes movies somewhat movie like. No amount of adjusting makes the washed out fog go away. Reducing the back-light just makes the fog darker. My son gave it to me so he could get the latest plasma set. You can't look a gift horse in the mouth.
If no ID is required exactly HOW DO YOU prove voting fraud? The "disadvantaged" make use of numerous social programs. They IDENTIFY themselves as disadvantaged and get benefits using that ID.
When obtaining public assistance numerous forms of identification are required, trust me, I know, medical, and past work experience are required. How can we descern between your theoretical disadvantage ID-less person and some fraud who just claims he can't prove who he is.
Things like fatty and sugar laden foods. Or dangerous possessions like guns and motorcycles. Or sedentary lifestyles, everyone forms up on the street for calisthenics every morning. I for one welcome our nanny overlords.
You mean a NASA astronaut did not come to your school and answer all those questions for you? Going to a Florida elementary school in the 60s had some advantages.
Be very afraid of a group of white men who want something. The indigenous peoples of the Americas found that out. When people are the same it's very easy to focus your energies in the same direction.
When you are hanging out in your diverse group are you the inept and incompetent one?
The consensus is having your daughter sterilized is on of the first necessary measures. Supposedly the Earth can only support one tenth of it's current population. If she is white you probably wont have any grandchildren anyway. My 40 and 26 year old daughters haven't. The Black, Brown and Yellow peoples are so I guess it's going to be their problem to solve.
Early in the 20th century cigarettes were called "coffin nails". Yet my grandfather (born in 1902) smoked from the time he was 10 until he died at the age of 89 from brown lung caused by breathing too much dust while plowing cotton with a mule.
If being beaten into unconsciousness in a stairwell or sexually molested on a school bus is social interaction then no thanks. Yes, the victims survived but why put your children through that when you don't have to?
As young adults my home schooled children get along fine in society and know how to avoid violent social interactions.

Bravo, bravo.
How big is the carbon tax on exported coal? And why would you allow that nasty stuff to dug up anyway?

That 100k was $100 in 1982. Yes, Florida, drop by if you're going to Disney World.
If your nearby you can borrow mine. 100k memory, keyboard and printer.

I was the same way. I grew up on a farm. My dad got me out of bed and we went to work. I just never left.

Rev limiter. At a certain RPM the computer shuts off the fuel injectors. But yes, electronics.
I'm on disability now, I wore myself out.

But the government can mandate that everyone else who uses the emergency room you staggered into is required to help pay your bill if you can't.
