I really really really want sugar gliders, but they need 24/7 attention and you need to have money saved for vet bills cause they are considered an exotic pet so its expensive visits, so they are not a good fit for jme, I am home 24/7 when im home, but I like going away for days at a time, so they are not a good fit for me :frown:

though I live in a good town to get one, theres a breeder and a exotic vet in my town

How do people like Jeff Bezos survive? I honestly don't get it? Crazy people always want to destroy people in malls and schools but never the mega billionaires? They must be insanely protected! They must have like a small army guarding them at all times.

Crazy

:mindblown:

A pack of cheapo brand cigarettes cost around €7. Most smokers use at least a pack a day, thats an easy €210 a month, or 14% of national minimum wage.
Since poor people usually dont work at all and live on welfare (which is less than minimum wage) it amounts to 20% of their monthly income

For something that gives you fucking cancer! You dont even get high. It literally has no benefits :facepalm:

when I smoked I think I paid about $6 bucks a day, Id smoke half a pack, then I vaped store bought juice for a month or 2, I was paying like $6 a day on B&M juice, then I found it on the internet way cheaper, I was probably paying like $3-$5 a day on juice, IDK, then I found you can make it even cheaper, so now I spend about $1 a day on DIY ejuice

Is that wrong of me to say?

I live in the Netherlands so things are probably very different here.

Anually it is calculated how much a person needs to live a life of decent quality. This is a little over €1100 a month for a single individual living alone. Everybody with an income under €1100 is considered to be living below the "poverty line"

Minimum wage is a little over €1500 a month after taxes so those people arent considered poor

Welfare is a €1000/month so these are the people we consider poor in this country.

Oh daaamn
The Netherlands gets all the cool laws
:unwanted:

Sorry, bud. It’s just that this line is used by American right-wing pundits as justification for cutting welfare programs down, and giving wealthy people tax cuts.
Meanwhile, I know people who receive food stamps and Medicaid cause of a disability, but are still constantly looking for cash gigs cause they’re broke (can’t work legally and keep Medicaid).

It seems the folks in the US are so convinced they’re the absolute best in the world in all regards they haven’t bothered taking a look around and possibly realizing they might be wrong.

I’m not shitting on the US but it’s more like a fixer upper.  There’s some problem areas.  One being that nobody can agree on anything and two, that it really wouldn’t matter even if they did.

I was called a Nazi on this forum a few months ago and since then I have been thinking about my political color so to speak

Turns out its very conflicting as I am very liberal left in some regards and very conservative right in others


Should we as wealthy individuals care for the less able in our society? Yes, absolutely

Shoud healthcare be freely available for every citizen? Yes, absolutely

Should education be freely available for every citizen? Yes, absolutely


Should we as a country be open for an unlimited number of immigrants from I dont know where and give them these same rights? No, I dont think so

Thats what bothers me with most socialist political parties in the Netherlands. I always get the idea they want to import as many foreign paupers as possible and forget about the significant number of paupers already here.

Sending money to Africa and importing foreign plebs is fine and all, but not before you solve national issues regarding poverty, healthcare and education first

I agree with you on your stated views.  If that makes you a nazi I suppose it makes me one too.

I find its actually quite difficult to get a good overview of what National Socialism entails without mainly getting the Nazi focus on race and purity.

Yes, those aspect were very important to the Nazi's but not really in line with what I think Nationalism and Socialism mean.

To me the words National Socialism give the connotation of a leftish type society (egalitarian in regards to wealth distribution) with a focus on keeping national unity, culture and sovereignty. I dont really see anything wrong with that

Here’s the thing though...immigration grows the economy. This much has been proven.
At the same time, immigration increases unemployment and reduces wages for working class and middle class workers.



Make your own conclusions, but I think it’s clear that immigration benefits big businesses so much that even with the fallout (economical losses of the bottom 80%), there is a net gain to the economy.

The solution is super simple in theory and, for now, impossible in practice.
Big business needs to be taxed, and wages need to be raised, correcting the unequal gains

We see eye to eye on this! They will NEVER EVER "take less" so to speak (that's the way they see it I'm sure). It goes against capitalism, corporatism, and "just business".:scat:

Would you ever "take less" for your hard work?

Like take what you make and give some back to your employer for some reason?

If so, I have work for you!

Bosses are prone to error just like anyone else.

I'd wager the bosses of the world have failed more than most people have ever pondered the idea of trying.

And they're not afraid to admit they've failed before. Quite the opposite. They'll highlight their failures to prevent them from happening again and to learn from their mistakes.
