I wouldn’t consider it bleak I consider myself lazy I think it’s part of being human to be like water and go the path of least resistance. I was a loser until my dad put a shotgun in my face and said I was joining the Marine Corp went to college after to smoke weed and party met my wife there and only by wanting to get laid did I start getting good grades and applying to internships to keep her impressed started out in consulting in the late 90s hated every minute of it but after having kids and wanting nothing but the best for them I went for promotions worked around the clock and made partner 11 years later. Most people I talk to are the same way we hate work but have some sort of golden handcuff that keeps them going. I’d much rather just do nothing and if circumstances were different I’d be doing nothing and be happy I’m happy now as well but the cost of this happiness is much higher.

Copy and paste is restricted to keyboard commands last time I tried plus if I’m managing an IT department I want near certainty that O365 or GSUITE will work with every update and patch Chrome and Edge basically guarantee that while Firefox’s development team lack the ability to see future changes to the software and have less motivation to do so as it’s not their product.

Cowboy you get to live a normal life in modern times compared to the other two. A modern day pirate is a shitty 3rd world existence and a samurai means being in Japan. I’ll take Cowboy with a loving wife and kids raising cattle and in the evenings getting to stream 4K content with Starlink on my OLED tv eating amazing BBQ anyday.

Can’t be a 1901 the very first Ford was built June 16th, 1903.

Uh yes it was?

“You think 150 million people in this country are just too lazy to make ends meet?”

To which I replied yes with some caveats as your statement is too broad and meant to steer a conversation into a specific direction without addressing other issues that do a disservice to mentally disabled or handicapped people that are perceived as being lazy when they typically are harder working in my experience.

I’d move the US to work more like the EU. Conservatives could move to conservative areas and liberals could move to liberal areas with more power to pass things they want to see in their area. Some states would be able to address climate change and handle immigration in any way they want. Others could focus on safety, firearms, low taxes and personal freedoms. Each state would be more responsible for balancing its own budget and planning for emergencies. Without FEMA etc if a hurricane strike Florida they best have had their emergency fund ready and or get help from trading partners otherwise your out of luck. It’s like a modern HOA living in one gets you better roads, amenities etc if they mismanaged it then taxes go up people leave and they redo their books to incentivize the next generation back. America would become more nomadic as people try to strike the best deal every few decades while some political die hards would stick to a state for certain reasons maybe abortion laws or being in an unregulated industry local to that specific state.

Some of them yes others may not have the intellectual/mental capability or physical issues that prevent it as well. Most people who want and work to get out of poverty will get to the lower middle class which is a better life than 99% of humans have ever had.

Easy I see and interact with lazy people everyday who abuse the system and refuse to try to better themselves I have had to the best of my knowledge zero interaction with the richest people of the world in my life. People see what’s right in front of them as the issue even if it’s not.

This is me too probably lean slightly to the right especially in economics but there’s zero chance I’d be welcomed at a GOP get together or democrat get together it’s lonely out there.
