ON AUGUST 6, 1945 the ATOM BOMB FELL ON HIROSHIMA

Society developed the systems that led to such a large population and such large scale productivity. That changed society. It is too late to go back to a 'good 'ol days' period. The thinking from that time applies no more. Sure, it would be great if everyone played John Wayne in a Ford movie and ruggedly individualized.

I certainly try to provide for myself and learned to work, save, build a business, employ people and live a relatively self-sufficient life. I have never knowingly taken anything from any government that I had not already paid more than enough into. I do not think myself extraordinary, exemplary or unique. It is more or less what I think 'normal'.

Yet, the world today cannot and does not function in the manner I learned. The same opportunities are not there, the capacity for further growth is not there. Workers are not just going to get absorbed into income producing employment.

And at the same time, there is enough for everyone. There is no penury of essentials. People are suffering as a result of peoples inabilities to adapt to problems people created. The 'crisis' isn't tsunamis, earth quakes, hurricanes, volcanoes or asteroids. Nothing was destroyed except a house of cards, a false faith in a god of excess and lucre.

We have to re-invent things. We have to better understand ourselves, our minds, how we function as the unique event that we are in the universe. We have to discover what is genuinely important, what all value comes from.

The problem is not that many want enough to exist. The problem is more associated with a desire for more than is possible by a delusional minority.

Which is exactly what this thread is about. These freeloading bastards have and their GD liberal politicians have effing DESTROYED THIS COUNTRY from education to economics it's all about WHAT CAN YOU WHITE PEOPLE GIVE TO US BLACK PEOPLE AND THEIR GOD DAMNED LIBERAL BLEEDING HEART POLITICIANS (whose hearts really aren't bleeding)...but are BUYING THEIR GD UNREGISTERED VOTES WITH STILL MORE WELFARE...that what's left of the U.S. workforce continues to pay for.

Nero fiddled while Rome burned. Bleeding hearts heaped on the welfare til there ain't no god damned work force left. SCREW IT.

And just so we don't only pick on Detroit...here's my own urban center city, the general area in which I've resided since 1951. I guarantee you it DID NOT LOOK LIKE THIS THEN.

Here are where the welfare leeches dwelled until they moved into these brand new hi-rises which became SO BAD all that was left to do was to blow them up. But RENT WAS FREE.

Meanwhile the historic old homes that were already destroyed by these welfare people still stand today. St. Louis used to be known as the MOST divided city in the country. North St. Louis (black) South St. Louis (white). The city had almost a million citizens inside the city limits in 1950...now it's about 200,000 tops and 90% black. Here is one of the beautiful old homes.

And more...

It's all over. Every major city in this country.

Generally speaking, the healthcare in Japan is not only provided free for every Japanese citizen, but also for expatriates and foreigners.

Healthcare in Japan

Socialist?

It's not free, it's heavily subsidized with tax money. There are fees involved at the point of service (usually modest). Patients also have the option of going to private doctors outside the national system, which are usually better and much more expensive.
