In the process of deconstructing work "ethics" and capitalist "productivity", it's important to replace it with something more meaningful than individualism or hedonism. While it's fine to do nothing, fine to do things you enjoy regardless of whether they make profit for someone else, it's also good to do things that better yourself, others, and society (even if that concept has been co-opted and corrupted by the profit motive). I see too many people "escape" the rat race either by finding people to exploit or sinking into escapism like [more than a reasonable amount of] video games or drugs or whatnot.

Still in the running for top 10 websites on the internet. Critical support I suppose.

I mean the idea is that good urban planning would enable shorter and more frequent grocery store trips. Rather than a supercenter supplying everyone within 30 miles, requiring long drives, you'd have things distributed by need, i.e. general food stores every couple miles, more specialist places potentially farther away. Our current layout and shopping habits are contingent on car infrastructure and massive federal subsidies.

Would also decrease waste and increase general health, since fresher, less processed food could be purchased.

Not saying he doesn't but the winky face makes me think the intended meaning is tongue-in-cheek or taking the piss out of people accusing him of working for the CIA. Like how we joke about being on Xi's or Soros' payroll.

If that's the case this isn't an admission, more the opposite.

Adhd

I have a few dozen books. A third I've read all the way through, the rest I've picked up and put down or skimmed.

It helps to have a lot of options so that I'm more likely to find one that clicks and holds my attention for longer.

Plus I frequently reference books for specific info or quotes.

Probably depends on what subculture you're in. This isn't uncommon in the rocky mountain area, in the white mormon suburbanite type demographic.

In the West Coast I saw teens working and paying rent but only in working class families because housing was so expensive. So more like helping the parents pay their landlord than the parents acting as a landlord.

Fascism is a special move Capitalism uses when it's about to faint.

Of that $30.50, the person delivering the food got $3 and the person making the food got $2.
