[Hanarchy Montanarchy]

Your liberty, well-being, nutrition, and everything else are dependent on your wealth. You'll have a hard time surviving as a hunter-gatherer in 2020, but I suppose it's possible. Whether you'd consider that a life worth living is up to you as well.

That wealth is indirectly funneled to ConglomoMax - ergo, your liberty is lessened by them.

How does Bezos' wealth or ConglomoMax's tax subsidies bring me closer to living as a hunter-gatherer? How does paying taxes bring me closer to living as a hunter-gatherer?

Let's put this another way: if you had limitless resources, what could you do with all this extra liberty you believe this wealth would facilitate that you can't currently do with different priorities and better resource management?

I would instantly recover 40 hrs/ week of my life, for one. If 1/3rd of your existence isn’t enough, I’m not even sure where to start.

Given greater resources, I’d own a farm and produce organic, healthy food for my loved ones. Master more hobbies/crafts. Travel the world. Taste more exotic foods. Write a book of wysdom like Hashie. See my favorite sports teams and artists perform live. Maybe even demonstrate for issues that I care about.

The possibilities are literally endless. And unreachable from hoarding my remaining tokens harder.

Sure, my skill set will continue to improve, and I’ll earn more tokens for my precious time, but that is lost nonetheless. While those born with ConglomoMax stock certificates live a life of ease from my labors and lifetime.

Those all sound like time management and priority problems.

Can you not set aside 45 minutes a day to write? You have spent some small amount of time today writing in an attempt to convince me that I am not free because of taxes and Jeff Bezos. Put it in a book, bruh.

Do you not currently get to grow food on your land? Is this not edifying? If it is less edifying than travel, you can travel more and garden less with a priority adjustment.

If you find you are working too much, are there no expenses you could get rid of to increase your free time? If not, is this because of 'crony-capitalism' or because you have chosen to prioritize things that require "tokens?"

Do you believe your "tokens" would have more value with fewer large corporations? Why?

Do you believe that tremendously wealthy people don't have problems with time management or finding time for family commitments or doing the things they find edifying? They do.

So how’s it working out for you personally?

I know my own experiences, and the opportunities that were available to my generation have been severely limited for Millennials. Why is that do you think?

In my experience, my generation did not lack the opportunities to do whatever they wanted to do. They are just upset with the results.

They then expend a tremendous amount of energy trying to explain how this is someone else's fault because the truth is too awful for them to countenance.

Personally, I have been able to do just about everything I ever wanted to do, but was never under any illusion about the realistic outcomes of that behavior. I could spend my time doing more of the shit I like to do, or spend my time moping that I don't get enough attention on Instagram. I choose the former, every time.

Dude, there are people out there with ambition and the willingness to forego their comfort just to participate in what used to be the American Dream. I know because I’m often asked for advice, having done it; I see nothing for them. It’s locked up in nepotism, tribalism & nannystateism. No degree or license helps, and that I can say with certainty.

I wish more people would realize that.

I am unfamiliar with the concept of "collective physical and mental well-being."

Those are excuses, sorry but they are.

Write a book, I've done that, it took almost 4 years to do it, but I did it. Saw some of my favorite performers, and I've traveled. I have 1/100th the wealth Hash does...

If you can't find time to do things you want to do when you have things you need to do, that is poor planning.

Folks, like SF, caught on a long time ago and got discouraged. More & more youth are catching on and getting discouraged. People are grasping at things like UBI just because it deconcentrates wealth a tiny bit (at the threat to all of society). The solution is to break up big business, inheritance taxes, progressive income taxes, and indoctrination of conscientious values in schools. The trajectory we are on now only ends in liberty’s demise.

Nepotism, tribalism and nannystateism are all things I would happily work against. I don't think these things are caused by tax subsidies for large concerns, or high shareholder values.

More on the anecdotal front: my wife comes from a big, poor as hell Puerto Rican family. About half of her siblings have worked diligently and consistently and created a great deal of more wealth for them and their families than they were born with. The other half have been profligate with resources, made bad personal choices, haven't put any real effort into their own wealth creation, and draw on the resources of everyone around them. Same backgrounds, same opportunities, different results based entirely on personal choices.

The American dream is still alive.
