    Thank G-d and my parents, my life is moving from Satisfactory to Good as I am talking to my new friends on Zoom.

    But the lives of millions of people in USA are truly Awful.

    But people who can not contribute still have a Right to Life.

    I do not know what to say.

    When the no-goodnicks of Generation Z will celebrate their 70th birthdays, most of the work will be done by robots. They will live in Post-Scarcity Economy. Everyone will be living comfortably, while most people will not be working.

    We should also make sure our safety net does not become a safety hammock.

    There are always people suffering. That's a fact of life that cannot be solved. The rich suffer, the poor suffer. It's a fact of life. You should most definitely set your ambitions beyond your ability and willpower - you should strive to do better than you think you can. It is the only way to succeed in this country. Being homeless in this country has been said to be the gold standard for homelessness worldwide. People come here just to be homeless here.

    As a Jew I believe that curses given to Humans are temporal. During the Messianic Era there will be neither Death nor Suffering. The World Enters Year 6000 Since Creation in 2240 Common Era -- in 220 years.

    Even now Smallpox has been eliminated, machines do much of work, and medicine is much more advanced then in the past.

    Hopefully, future generations will live during Post-Scarcity Economy where work will not be needed.

    So? Let them begin by making better decisions. Your problems and their problems are not mine to solve.

    Learn it.

    If their plight is important to you then YOU get off your ass and do something productive
    Call your state legislators and insist they approve the Article V convention of States to propose amendments.


    I pledge allegiance to the Constitution as written and understood by this nation's founders, and to the Republic it created, an indivisible union of sovereign States, with liberty and justice for all.

    Everyone has a right to life, liberty and property. But no one has a right to the wealth of others.

    Grow up.

    It is a pipe dream. It will never happen. It is time to give up your childish thoughts and become an adult.
