I agree.

People need to put down their crystal balls and learn to experience life for themselves.

Biggest problem? Funding. No investors want to touch a co-op.

Here's where it gets rough. The biggest problem isn't "funding." It's people working solely for money and nothing else.

If you really care about X, then you should be willing to put in the work even if it doesn't give you the most money in return.

As long as, at all levels of society, people prioritize wealth over results, these problems will not get solved.

I almost got shot in a truck stop in Elk City OK because I pointed out roads and the armed forces where socialist institutions.

I completely believe you, and it's sad these are also the people who routinely complain about censorship.

Hate to break it to you, but pretty much all of capitalist society is built upon the conditions you describe.

WTF? Clearly I wasn't referring to those cases. Did you honestly think I was? Or are you pretending to misunderstand an argument because you don't like it? Fess up.

It would be better to raise children to pick their friends more wisely.

Just cherrypicking what you want to hear, eh? It's okay. I see it all the time and don't expect more from you people at this point.

Goodbye.

Yeah, reality isn't pretty.

People should really think about how much money is wasted on bullshit laws.

Imagine all the advances in science we could be making, all the homes we could be building, and all the children we could be feeding.

But instead, we spend money to ensure rich people can make more money.

It's fucked.

“Intimidation is the tactic,”

Yes, absolutely. There is a war against free speech and they're trying to make people afraid to even fight back.
