Oh. Thanks. That made me feel good. Don’t hear that often.

I don’t know this sub so I hope it’s ok for a man to respond. When I first got married I think my wife definitely did most of the chores. But when I retired and she kept working, I did most of the chores. Then she retired and I still do most of the chores.

But I have to admit I do most of the messing up. So it could be a reluctance to clean up after me. Although I’m not sure that true with for instance vacuuming, which I do.

An additional note though is that, is it fair to only consider chores in the division of labor? I mean I do all car and household repairs (and I’d like to point out we have three cars all over 20 years old so that’s a lot of repairs). I’m also the only one who washes the cars. When the house gets painted, inside or out, that’s 100% me.

I do most of the cooking and virtually all of the dishes. She does a ton of laundry. As a man, I only feel the need to do laundry when I’m running out of my plentiful underwear. She does laundry, I don’t know, in her sleep even. I vacuum, she picks up around the house. Etc.

I can see that it would be a real problem if it’s very one-sided, but I think you also have to look at the big picture. Just my $0.02.

Can you imagine having your truck sell less units than the ugliest dumpster fire vehicle ever to exist?

Typical media. There’s literally no difference between two and three masts.

I taped mine inside the cell phone case.

Holy crap! That’s awesome. I had NO classes. Wish I had. At some point I checked out a book from the library and learned more than most of my classmates.

Funny thing is, sometimes I’ll do this out of the blue days later and my wife picks up on it immediately.

Yeah, but they do look great. Just sayin.

This is actually optimistic. They think kids are going to grow up.

But… Jobs!!!

Thank you. I was freaking out. Isn’t this what they call a stream of consciousness?

Umm the burden is on the one making the claim. It’s also customary on the net to site the source so… No I didn’t.

I’ve already lost hope, but good luck with that.

Man, I hope you’re right.

Thank you

I don’t see a source.

You are right that we COULD do many of these things. But we won’t. We live in a society of people who deny there is even a problem. Anyone who knows it’s either powerless or looking to profit.

Humans work on crisis management. We ignore a problem until it bites us in the face. Then we band together and defeat it. Unfortunately, when a problem exists that can’t be corrected by the time it bites us, no banding together will stop it.

Did you mean to respond to me because I don’t see how it relates? I assume you are responding to the thread.

I agree with you to a point. I mean, think of how wonderful a world it could be if there was any kind of equity. People making sure everyone is fed, no theft, no slavery, etc. It’s almost traumatizing to realize we have the capacity to make this a reality, but don’t.

I’ve come to the conclusion this is just fantasy. It’s human nature to destroy itself. People have a long history of hating people not like them. Just when I think we’re making progress along comes racism again.

I don’t believe this will ever change. It’s a true shame.

Ohio let’s you check out 100 books at a time?

The weird thing is it’s kind of more bizarre than a dystopian society. In dystopia, you know resources are scarce and that you have to defend yourself with violence. But in this actual dystopia, I can still get up and go play disc golf, pretty much without incident. There could come a day when I’m pulled over by some Nazi cop who decides to make an example of me, which face it, has been the case for some time now, but until then for little things like that, it’s pretty much business as usual despite the plummet into fascism. Very weird.
