So if I wasn't here- y'all would up and start building the utopia and get the septic robots working.
If you say so. Hey, you know what? Please go ahead and start working on those things regardless. If you manage to build an autonomous sewage worker, you could probably make a lot of money while you wait for the economic system to change. Feel free to comment with your progress, I wish you luck.
Don't worry, we will. You'll likely end up coming to us with a hand out when all's set and done, so it all works out.
All I'm hearing is fantasies from people who can't pay their rent/mortgage and would rather burn it all down without a plan than work a 9-5. But sure, we'll automate everything and no one will have to work and we can all live in big houses and play video games and post on social media all day.
I mean, obviously, I won't be automating everything. That sounds like work. Someone probably wants to solve all the problems, though. We can let them do it in their spare time while we chill. I presume that's you?
Honestly, it sounds awesome. Lmk when I can quit my job and not pay monthly bills.
No, you're literally not listening. I proposed not one but two pragmatic suggestions to implement what we're asking for, and instead of thinking about what I'm saying, you're just laughing me off and dismissing me because you don't care about having an honest conversation. You're just here to vent your emotions and pick on left-wingers who you view as beneath you.
You forget that my suggestions aren't actually for you. They're for the benefit of everyone else in the thread. You're nothing but a springboard for us to jump off of to think and actually make what we want happen.
I guess sitting on your rotten, cigarette hole filled couch in your rotting Alabama trailer and putting down anyone who is different from you is better than actually doing anything to better your life. Like getting a GED, or actually doing honest work instead of living off of government benefits and hypocritically attacking anyone who supports government programs to help the needy like yourself.
I don't judge you though. 🤷
I'm from the North and vote Democrat. I just like to live in reality. You know, where we think about things like who is going to do the dirty jobs when no one has to work unless they want to.
What was your solution for that again?
... And when that half assed solution doesn't work, are we gonna go without sewers, or are the people with guns going to force someone to do it with the threat of violence?
But no, you're not living in a fantasy.
