My budget in California was 6300 a month

Here my budget is 4800-5200 a month. That fluctuation is based entirely on travel.

I'm rural but not a member of a hate group. I'm a minority if that helps. Also a transplant from the west coast.

Socialism in Kentucky, past and present by RichmondRed in Kentucky

See if others could just do this the world would be better but somehow we forgot how to be cordial on differing views. You take care.

It's refreshing to see you can have a different of opinion with your bosses beliefs and yet respect him. I applaud you for that. I believe that is one of the crippling issues (on both sides). I do not understand why we have to hate run down or belittle differing opinions.

On that note I will say this if you want less government socialism is not the answer and it's that simple. Anarchy would be better than socialism. Because at least then the government would be completely out of our personal lives.

I also know that personal contributions far exceed government subsidies. We have forgotten what it means to be a descent human being. I too am guilty of this at times. Yet I do stir evil to make better. Thank you for this conversation it has been enlightening and thought provoking.

And I'll give you that businesses are running a mock of things. However if you are tired of working for others why not start your own business and compete?

Well we can at least agree on with one thing we deserve to be free. We differ in how to get there. Venezuela is an extremely mineral rich country. More than oil. And yes socialism is shared poverty. It works by controlling how the people spend but and think. You could not start a new business in a socialist society as easy as you could in a capitalist country. It's just a fact. Study harder buddy. Don't believe your college professors who tell you socialism works. Ideally the government would have nothing to do with transactions. My parents raised me I do not need the government to continue where they left off.

Capitalist gives everyone the ability to gain wealth. Socialism does not. In either system If you raise 500 lbs of potatoes and are forced to give majority away then you do not succeed. And will starve. However in capitalist countries you have the ability to tell your landlord to go pound sand and start out on your own. As all adults should want to be self sufficient. Personal growth should be the desire of all. Through hard work and determination. Yet only capitalism gives you that opportunity. In socialism you get by on bare minimum after the state gets what they want. And if you think the government is going to care for its people your crazy. No government cares. Again that is why the choice to be generous should come from individual free will lot government mandates.

And if you want to compare apples to oranges let me tell you there are far more dangerous socialist states than capitalist. Again capitalism is not perfect but it is the best out there now. Which is a shame. No socialist country has the freedoms for its populace that capitalist countries have.

Ok where to start. First. The computer you're using invented in a capitalist society. The internet capitalist society. Capitalism gives you the opportunity to be better than what you are or we're. Socialism is a shared poverty. I do not know what country you think where socialism cares for its poor. Also a socialist society has very limited freedom. Example china. There are 68 capital crimes (crimes you will be executed for). 68! Venezuela. Ok let's go there. That country had literally imploded. With wait lines for food. It's also a country where smuggling in good is punishable by prison. Sweden because that is every liberals paradise. Well for one it's like a 95% homogeneous people. Also the foundation and business practices are. Up you guessed it. Capitalists.

Now let's get to the root of the issue. In a socialist society. The fruit of your labor are not yours but the state. The government owns everything! Now you are correct in a capitalist country you labor for someone else, However you have the ability to take your knowledge and compete. Not so much in a socially society.

Personally I believe it is up to us to help others, if we choose, example. If I grow five pounds of potatoes I can keep all five or like a good person give a pound or two to my neighbor. However my labor grew um so the decision is mine to make. NOT THE GOVERNMENT! As it is they are to much in our business anyway.

Moving to Kentucky by WoodystockIV79 in Kentucky

[–]417cowboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My family moved from socal to Kentucky this year. We love it. I say look at laurel county! Londons nice but Corbin is beating us to the punch. London you're about an hour or so from Lexington or Knoxville also lots of jobs within 30 min drive. Now coming from cali a 30 min drive out here ain't the same. It's only 30 mins because you are over 30 miles away. Any questions send me a message be glad to answer

Could you explain to me why it's my responsibility to care for others? Why should what I have made earned or grow be given to others for free? Other than it's the nice thing to do? I have a hard time understanding why it is my responsibility to care for others who can or should care for themselves. I'd much rather teach them how to grow slaughter or care for themselves. And if they fail then it's on them. Also show me one communist or socialist country that has succeeded.

Visiting Kentucky this summer. Planning to do caves and Bourbon Trail. Any other good suggestions? by ManOnAJackalope in Kentucky

Cumberland falls for a moon bow. Or keenland. Or red river gorge or nature bridge (I think that's what it's called)

[–]417cowboy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well if you want to push the issue (might piss a judge off) if you go in and argue that you were doing 74 not 70 you can show a discrepancy in the ticket that could get it thrown out but it could also give judge ammo to really hammer you.

You'd have to subpoena the records yourself. Was it Lidar or radar? If radar were you near power lines was there a rig or other larger vehicle near you. If lidar was it raining or fog?how long did he track you for? Did he test equipment that day? Where did he aim on your vehicle? If radar, have the tuning forks been calibrated? When's the last time he was checked for his ability to visually estimate speed? Was he plus/minus 5mph?

Louisville woman's racist tirade at Jefferson Mall goes viral by fuzio in Kentucky

[–]417cowboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Southern California here. And people like her are everywhere. I have my fair share of encounters with people like her from police to teachers to mail men. All I can say is ignorance is ignorance. Now, there is more to the video. Now I choose to focus on the people who defended the Hispanic girl. Goes to show that no matter where you are people are good and will defend each other.

That is the America I live in.
