Yippee-IA, Motherf***ers! IRRATIONALLY ANGRY PT. 2: Irrationally Angrier

i'm all for better solutions but adjusting for scale and degree of difficulty is something people never do. this country is just too fucking big. which is why i appreciate the land of Taxxachusetts that i live in. i've had free health care for 20 years!

thank you again, Mitt...

of course i had to have kids and a marginal business to get that free health care...which is stressful and has its own costs. but it was worth it in the end.

it is so much easier to do things when everybody in your country is born in the same place. like, way easier. homogeneousness also pretty big with conservatives. i'm sure most conservatives would love Finland!

I understand that homogeneity may be a barrier to getting things done. But not sure why the things that can't get done are the socialist things, and the things that can get done are capitalist things.

things can get done. things do get done. like i said, i get free healthcare in a state with a much larger population than that of Finland. but on a national scale, its harder to get things done. because there are 50 countries in this country. if we were a tiny country with a tiny population, like....Finland, it would be much easier to get things done. every single state has different laws and statutes and regulations for businesses too. speaking of capitalism.

the ACA has helped a lot of people across the country. there is that at least.

but look we are getting off-topic. the IA is the blithe nature of a stupid FB post like "you know in Sweden...why can't we just do that.." without any mention of what the government is like here. i mean, have you seen them? it ain't ever gonna be sweden. i am totally moving to sweden....

I was in a long queue yesterday, the local onestop is also the post office now and if someone wants postal services then there is only one person on the shop tills. This guy in front was extremely fucking about and taking a long time to pay for a few items. Then he hands a lottery ticket and says can you just check this for me, there is probably nothing on it because I never have any luck.

I was fuming. This young slacker can't even check his own lottery tickets and now after making extra work for the stressed retail worker, now he's trying to give them his life story.

If that was me behind the counter I'd fake-tap the lottery machine and say nah there is nothing on it m8, every time. Save them all up for quite periods and see if I'd made any lazy bastard tax bonuses for myself.

I really don’t like it when people talk loudly in public
