Ah, still this wouldn’t really apply because the workers/ people don’t own this mode of production because, so they can’t give it up.
The people you are thinking of are the ~400 individuals who own the means of product, and you are correct that they won’t willingly give that up.
Also “Does that mean the people want to give up the means of production?” assumes the people own the means of production which would be communism and/or anarchism. Not sure what they think the means of production is or if it’s just a buzzword they hoped to toss in there.
I have such great memories of my mom giving me a good honkwhich. I would come home from school and she would feed me like a baby penguin. I felt so safe and secure, frankly I feel bad for the underprivileged youths who don’t get to have a honkwich.
Inspector Clueseau figures it out because after he sees your large train collection in your room, he decides you are 3 trains in disguise, but you misheard him.
Also let’s be frank, it’s a class divide. Boomers had a huge leg up, and then those who amassed great wealth are the ones we see in power making decisions that close doors to the younger generations.
But back to my point, of course those who have had 60+ years to amass and invest wealth are going to be richer, especially when they had something to invest at the start.
I think when we consider that Gen Z men are running to the right, we should rethink boomers as a scapegoat. It’s not the boomers. It’s the rich and the Andrew Tates of the world who are in the boxing ring.
Like I could probably take down a random boomer, but a billionaire could hire Mike Tyson and I’d be fucked in the ring.

I will say, he did get to paint on TV and know that maybe somewhere someone was better off for knowing he existed.
Bob Ross absolutely got something. Something worth more than any sum of gold.
I’m trying to take a cue from Trevor Noah (I didn’t like his time on the daily show but I still think he has some good takes):
Read the news only a few times a week. That’s enough to be informed. We created a 24 hours news cycle that makes us more anxious, angry, and scared than we need to be. Live your life, focus on those around you, stop yelling at people on the internet who have made up their mind.
It seems like a good balance of self care and being informed. You have to set boundaries.
I named my blue shirt Franklin, thanks for the prompt!
Not in Science but this is true in entertainment. Not the best musician, not the best actor, not the best comedian, but being pretty good at all three makes me a sought out music director.
Someone tell me how to post a pic to the comments
I have a soprano trombone, so I guess that’s a sidearm trombone?
Fun fact, putting people in boxes is a horrible way to treat people, is dehumanizing, and doesn’t get an accurate look at individuals and their motives.
Fun fact, putting people in boxes is what companies and governments do in order to organize their marketing efforts to try and sell to specific demographics or to get elected.
Be careful what you hate, for one day you will become it.
“my politics are fiscally liberal, socially terrifying”
Latex is a left wing kink (restriction of rights)
Custard pies are right wing (impurity)
Smoking is left wing unless it’s American Spirits
Being trod in with stilettos is right wing (fem Dom)
Wearing a diaper is right wing if a man does it, left wing if a woman does it (gender infantalization)
Last night I whispered “supply side economics” into her ear and she said “you’re a fucking freak”
I’d say the measure of an ice cream shop should be their vanilla. No gimmicks. No cover ups. It’s the industry standard.
If your vanilla slaps, that’s all I need to know.
Well that wasn’t very Mr. Rogers of you, please be kind here.
