If I can't sell a TV, I'm out food for my kids. Anyone who takes food away from my kids gets to find out if I'm wrong and hell is real.
i can make the same argument about the treadmills i am now guarding.
if someone takes these treadmills out of my GH, i am not fucked, but a huge investment has become a money pit and my christmas presents for family and friends just got a whole lot leaner.
i won't starve though, even if thieves take my treadmills. that's because there is a social safety net.
my (hidden cost, worked into my rent) property taxes pay for a lot of things, including the local police and schools. well, i have refused the help of the police and suffered at the hands of douchebag 16 year old school kids stealing my treadmills. but i voted to increase funding for them nonetheless, knowing that their services came in handy in other ways. i should mention that the local police seem rather awesome and professional all at once and we have overall great schools.
i am living the libertarian dream right now. it's like the wild wild west where i am. i have to guard what's mine with no help from anyone.
and you know what? it sucks. it really does.
i just wish for fuck that the government wouldn't call me a criminal, but rather tax and regulate me like the bad ass criminal that i am. sitting in my GH at 2:15 am, waxing philosophical on the interbox.
