Your whole family sounds poor.doogie said:Sobering. That pic is quite literally how Mom, her 5 bros and one sis, travelled from S. Dakota to Seattle in 1938 in a Model A. They would drive until running out of gas then Grandpa would take the 4 older boys to a farmhouse offering free labor in exchange for gas/food. Then repeat until they made it to North Bend. Took about a month, I'm told.

What you mean is your mom fucked the farm boss and all the farm hands for gas.doogie said:Sobering. That pic is quite literally how Mom, her 5 bros and one sis, travelled from S.

Imagine actually working for the things you need. Wow that's quite a concept.doogie said:Sobering. That pic is quite literally how Mom, her 5 bros and one sis, travelled from S.

yup, they were. Both Mom and Dad struggled during the depression to have daily food. Electricity didn't exist for either (most). Kids in the Yacht Club when I was growing up knew who earned it and who had it given to them. Adults did too.TierbsHsotBoobs said:

Jesus, some of you guys are just like a bunch of Middlebury students. Why don't you take some free time and actually read the Charles Murray paper posted earlier on universal basic income before trotting out the same tired cliches. Murray's conservative and libertarian chops are fucking legit people. It's all theoretical obviously at this point but he lays down some pretty solid arguments.

Free income is fucked up theory pushed by academics
