    I'm team OE. I've had serious conversations with him.

    Let's not go passing judgement before all the facts are in.

    :p

    I'm not familiar with the history but I enjoy OE.

    Also, I picture you making a big, intricate sparkly spider web versus a bed.

    From someone that works up to 1000 hours of OT a year, I don't need someone taking my shit. I worked for it, I earned it, you want nice stuff, start digging ditches for 7 coconuts an hour, take pride in it, move up in the company, take pride in that, work hard and take pride in your work, maybe you'll earn nice stuff too.

    What is this "move up" you speak of? The "maybe" part is spot on and telling.

    Do you agree that the money which KMF earned should be taken from him, and given to someone else who hasn't worked for it?

    If so, how much do we take from him, who do we give it to, and who decides each?

    Not for people who stand out. Why would mediocrity move up? There isn't room for everyone on top. Socialism is garbage and your trying to call us socialist capitalists means you don't get it. Capitalism is about the reward for standing out. Socialism is about spreading the reward. Fundamentally and massively different.

    Are you serious. Class mobility is still as strong as pass generation.

    Digging ditches in my field shows your character. I remember very clear when I was just a laborer working at the Homestead race track. I worked with a couple of guys digging trenches and laying pipe for months. A couple of guys said screw it and quit. The 4 guys that kept working all made it to be apprentices then journeymen. It's a process that has been working for a long time.

    Yep. I started working for a contractor. When I topped out, I looked around, found a job with better benefits.
