Many people in my generation of millennials have done research into the actual ideas behind socialism as an economic policy, and a huge portion of us agree with it.
It seems to me that most of the "research" source material comes from the University echo chamber. But fine, if socialism is what you want, I will not fight with you. As a senior citizen, I have now transformed into an "eater" - and my only "productive" pursuits are some weekly donated time at local charitable functions, some home gardening, and some radio pirating. I no longer produce, I just use. However atrain, you and your millennial friends are entering the workforce now, and will be producers for several decades to come. I'm happy that you're happy. Now get your a$$ back to work - I need another pack of Depends!
I do see a problem coming on the horizon however. Incentives matter. And disincentives matter. And socialism sends the wrong signals. Hopefully the slowing production will not eventually reach a crisis point because that's when all the dictatoring and all the murdering starts. Of course the freshly scrubbed "gentle" history probably disagrees with that premise but it greatly scares me nonetheless. Not for my sake because by then I'll be taking my dirt nap. It scares me for the sake of YOUR generation. But since you folks WANT this, then I guess you should be able to have it. So here's the keys. Good luck atrain and I hope that all of you last long enough to see your "eater years"... 73
