I dunno man, but you're clearly a believer. I hope it sustains you over the long-term.
- claytongulick 3y agoA believer? In what? An economic system that, for all its flaws, has proven to be the most successful for the most people in all of human history? I guess so. But happy to hear about proven alternatives. > I hope it sustains you over the long-term Well, I'm about 50, started from very little, worked hard my whole life, and have managed to find a degree of success. Seems to have worked out so far. I hope it continues. Certainly better than the alternative - blaming everyone else, the successful, and "the system" and not doing as much as I could to take responsibility and better myself.
