Five Economic Reforms Millennials Should Be Fighting For

1. Guaranteed Work for Everybody

2. Social Security for All
But let's think even bigger. Because as much as unemployment blows, so do jobs. What if people didn't have to work to survive? Enter the jaw-droppingly simple idea of a universal basic income, in which the government would just add a sum sufficient for subsistence to everyone's bank account every month.

3. Take Back The Land

4. Make Everything Owned by Everybody

5. A Public Bank in Every State

This is not parody or satire  :facepalm:

For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, even his everlasting power and divinity, that they may be without excuse. Because knowing God, they didn’t glorify him as God, and didn’t give thanks, but became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.

Rather then upping RS click count on that piece of "journalism".  Go see what Tam and Marko said.

Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

I saw that while politics was closed and forgot to post it when it opened back up. Yes, freakin' unbelievable that people believe that crap. Full disclosure that I'm a landlord, but number 3 riled me up pretty good. What, it's my duty to buy homes and give them away?

^^^ Yes, it is, you frickin' ill-tempered sea bass!

Kind of hard to make classical Marxist socialism work in the real world, though.
