When very young, communism seems OK, cause you can't take care of yourself anyways.
During your working years, capitolism seems preferred, cause while young, working and healthy, you want to see what your efforts can yield.
Then when grow older and tired, communism starts seeming OK again, as your body and mind begins to wear down and you're going to need food, and a place to stay once can't labor anymore.

Capitalism is NOT a form of Government, I wonder how many realize that.
Democracy is, but capitalism is, repeat, is not, a form of Government.
You can have a Democracy, and not have capitalism.
And you can have capitalism and not democracy, as in China.

America is a mixture of many things, but it's not a pure capitalistic nation, and that's for sure.
Example, if tomorrow, the Government was to stop dolling out checks to the rich and poor alike, millions of people would starve or die, and 100's of 1000's of business would fold, and a lot of other institutions, programs, and more, would go away.
People have no idea how much tax based revenue going out to Businesses, contracters, people, institutions, standard of life programs, that this Gov dishes out.
If U.S. Gov were pure Capitolistic, America would shrink to about the size of Texas.
A lot of people just don't realize how tax based socialistic America really is.
U.S. gives away more money than any other nation on the planet, to it's own citizens and businesses, simply to artificially keep them afloat.
Not saying whether that's good or bad, just saying it's reality.

Millions of Americans filing for 'claims', you don't think that's socialism??
Everytime there's a Hurricane, forest fires, any disaster, States declare 'Federal Emergency' = free money from D.C.
When people fall, the Government keeps them afloat, yet same people will scoff at Russia or Cuba for being socialist, when in fact America is the most successful socialistic nation on the planet.
Most 3rd world socialist nations are really simply 'Kingships', where one man, or family, takes control of all the wealth in nation...that's not socialism.
That's simple one man or family or ruling party taking over, controlling the wealth of that nation, and calling it 'socialism', simply to make the peasants feel that their suffering is not in vain, that they're suffering for the 'betterment' of the nation.
It's simply a trick on words that dictators use to calm the population, when all it really is that is being practiced is greed.

Every body messes up, it's just some have people around them to help clean up the emotional mess, others have to clean up their emotional mess all alone.

I tuned the news media out today, meaning radio news, TV news, cause I just did not feel like hearing about Corona and the President all day...just the back and forth of media against media, just did not want to hear it.
The President getting corona should of been only a 1 minute headline, then move on, instead they'll take a 1 minute headline, if that, and stretch it out over months.
Once again trying to control what 'we' should be concerned about.
The media will not, cannot, control what I deem important.

Nothing will destroy a friendship quicker than when one or the other starts asking to 'borrow money'.
I don't ask to borrow money, I don't loan money, cause the minute I do the person I loan money to, which usually means just 'give', stops becoming my equal and simply becomes a pest, who uses you type of relationship.
I can understand when younger, in high school, even college, needing to borrow money for this or that, but when older, have worked, have a job, jobs, even a degree, your own family, way more emotional support than I got, than why ask 'me' for money??
I never got that, I'm not good to be invited home for Thanksgiving or around place, but when need money, on the spot, than ask 'me'?.
I just don't like how that feels, makes my life feel more empty than it already does most of the time when the only purpose I ever seem to have is so basic....work to earn money, then lend money to another who doesn't have act together, seems to be the only time I exist or matter to others is when functioning is basic nessicity mode.
I fight hourly at times just to keep my own moral up, labor for all that I have, cause I'm all that I have, so when someone else wants to tap into 'all that I have, labor for, and am', it does turn me the wrong way.
It's one thing if I feel whole, and life full of love and relationships, it's another thing to barely be hanging on emotionally, especially during the holidays, and have some one ask to borrow money, it just turns me the wrong way totally.

I mean to me it's one thing to have massive wealth, as in sitting on 6 figures or millions, in savings, disposable income, and someone wants to borrow money from you, but it's another when earning your money hour by hour, day be day, week by week, just like the person who wants to borrow from you.
It's hard enough for me to muster strength to labor for myself, let alone another do to their own blunder, cause then it just feels like you're laboring for net zero value, for the job, for taxes, for bills, but not for self.
Of course 'love' over rides that, but I'm not in love.
Not under the spell of love, if I were I'd probably be broke all the time.

Turns out they only want to borrow $50 bucks, but the bucks stop there, I'll do it this once, but then that's it.
1. They're telling me the need it for prescription medication
a. They work full time, why doesn't their insurance pick that up??
b. They work full time, why do they not even have $50 bucks on them??
I'm not rich, but nor am I ever broke, if working full time, something don't add up.
I will film the whole thing.
Usually adults who work full time and still always broke, usually they're on drugs, I hate to think that, but nothing else makes sense to me.
First and last time I ever lend them money, and will tell them that.
And I don't really want it back, $50 bucks and good riddens, cause if they pay you back, they'll ask for more later, and not pay that back.
I've seen this game played before, 50 bucks and good riddens, especially if find out they were lying about why they need it.

Continued from above/\
Here's the deal, don't ever lie to me, and then expect to be rewarded by seeing me.....damit
OK, fine, I left that person 50 bucks, I won't say which gender they were that I left it to, but I left them 50 bucks, but will not allow myself to be manipulated by anyone, if I can help it.
I don't like dishonest people, I just don't.
An adult who claims to work full time should not be asking another for money, that makes no sense to me, unless like maybe in a legit business and need start up funds ect, like investment type of stuff, but to just out and right ask to borrow $50 bucks, that doesn't sit right with me, and then to say it's for 'meds'?, well people on legit meds usually have that covered by insurance....not cash....cash won't by you meds from a pharmacy, you'll go broke quick.
And if they work full time, as they claim, than why can't they set aside that which they'll need for their meds?
It just doesn't add up.
Whatever, I just don't want to get caught up in their BS, and why the hell would I reward a 'lie', or a 'liar', by allowing them to see me?
So not only do they lie, but then reward them with seeing me?...hell no.
I left the funds at the base of a tree for them to retrieve, and if they don't like it, tough.
I can't stand adults who work full time, yet still have to borrow money from others, that's just gross to me.
That tells me something in their life is just 'off', and whatever it is, I can't fix it.
I'm safe, so far, cause I carefully chose who I allow into my life, I'm just not trying to get caught up in all that street drama stuff, or even trailer park, back wood stuff, cause once in, it's like sticky glue and hard to get out.
I'm happy with my decision.
Not saying one has to be perfect to be in my life, but at least they have to be honest, for all things begin and end with honesty.

don't play me, I know fake love, desperate love, convient love, not into any of that.
Rebound love, whatever, not into that crap.
Love is knowing what another really wants and desires, and then helping them to achieve that, the person who does that for me, then will get my love...and it's really that simple.
Whether friendship love or relationship love.

Continued from above.
As predicted, you can never satisfy a 'needy type', lent them 50 bucks, well gave, don't even want it back.
And they're sending a few texts 'I'm such a failure', as all I say...blah blah blah.
In other words they want their burdens to become mine, that only works when you're in love and attracted to the person you're helping and want to help.
It takes all I have to get up daily or nightly and function, as far as moral goes, the last thing I need is another persons irresponsible behavior dragging me down.
Needy people never stop needing, it's a bad sign, I've been there done that with a person in the past, and they'll drag you into hell with them if you allow it.
No amount of money is enough, no amount of attention is ever enough.
Again, the only time that works is when you're actually in love with the person you're helping or attracted to them, but if not, it's straight up annoyance. cause then they start feeling they can mess up all they want and you'll have their back...it's a sick type of relationship.
I'm always 'the best', yet always expected to settle for used left overs, not anymore, If I can't get what I want, than I don't want it.

Being unselfish only pays off when you're in love, but being unselfish towards another irresponsible adult is a death trap, cause they'll drag you down.
Not to mention genders here, in that this could apply to anyone regardless, that being said, not interested in dumping time and resorces into someone who can't give me a family.
And if they can't give me a family of my own, than they dam well be what I consider attractive to make up for the fact they can't ever give me a family.
I don't like older ______ who throw themselves at ______'s who are 10's.
They already got all they want out of life, as far as family and all, and can't, or to selfish to understand you still want the same.
They're so full of themselves that they just think 'they' are all you will ever need or want.
This person is in for a crude awakening, cause gonna snap soon and just tell them to get lost.
Like I said a few posts above, as soon as $$ enters the equation of a light friendship, that friendship instantly goes down hill.
No working adult, who at least claims to be working full time, should ever ask another adult for money short of an emergency like house destroyed ect, but even then, insurance should cover that.
Adults who walk around broke all the time, living check to check really do annoy the hell out of me.
If not bright enough to save money on the side, than not bright enough to be in my life.

Wish so many Americans on drugs these days, prescription drugs, which often lead to street drugs, you dern well better be careful you you allow into your life these days...suburbs no suburbs, rural, no rural, urban no urban, don't matter, better be careful who you allow into your life these days.
Being income poor is one thing, but being irresponsible with the money one does earn, is another, a big red flag.

If I ever fall in love again, which I doubt I ever will, but if do, it will be with a person who finally, and once actually see's the potential in me, and actually wants to help me to succeed at whatever it is that makes me happy.
By them showing interest in me, for a change, then, over time I'd take notice of that, and by default begin taking an interest in their own personal joys, and things that make them happy as well, then out of that a relationship just kinds of builds on it's own, and at this time looks begin to stop mattering, once heart and soul have been vetted.
But being with someone who could give a dam about my own aims and goals in life just makes me feel hallow on the inside...some people can do that, I can't.
