Comment A Solution That Only In Increases the Problem (Score -1, Troll) 181

Funnelling more funding into education, much like massive loans, will only further increase the price and waste of education, ensuring the masses will only become further uneducated, unless they join a corporate/banking caste.

Education ought be a utility, not a luxurious experience.

I don't blame you. You were being used as slave labor. The upper echelons pocket the cash while doing little themselves and pay crumbs to those in desperate situations. It's all about social connections if you want to be treated fairly. We've become a slave society, under the guise of a free regulated market.

You should not have to be someones slave for a certain amount of years in order to be paid fairly or to build some sort of reputation. If you are doing a job and are a hard worker you deserve a fair cut of the pie.

"The only difference as compared with the old, outspoken slavery is this, that the worker of today seems to be free because he is not sold once for all, but piecemeal by the day, the week, the year, and because no one owner sells him to another, but he is forced to sell himself in this way instead, being the slave of no particular person, but of the whole property-holding class."

-Friedrich Engels, The Condition of the Working Class in England in 1844, pp. 114-115

Considering that US citizenship is a voluntary contract that no American Citizen is required to become, everyone who has accepted the benefits of US citizenship is obligated to by contract to follow said rules.

Most Americans have no idea that US citizenship is a product of the Reconstructive Era (post civil war) and was created for recently freed slaves to have standing in court, which by the original constitution they were considered property. The original constitution has yet to be properly amended within the legal courses of actions necessary to make such thing legitimate.

TLDR: American Law, and the legislative system, was Royally fucked during the civil war, and no American Citizen (state Citizen) is required to be a Federal citizen, as created by and defined by the 14th amendment.

If you are using a social security number (which does not belong to you, but belongs to the US Federal Government (the "United States")) then you are voluntarily contracting as a federal citizen, and you are VOLUNTARILY SUBSERVIENT to the federal government, having, as one of the sovereign People, placed yourself in a contractual agreement for "benefits".

>Actually, I take that back. The hotel market is not competitive because cities have for a long time been slack about building enough new hotels to meet demand, instead letting existing incumbents raise rates.

That's really what all of this is about - protecting the local hotel monopolies that have sat on fat stacks for decades and are now watching the market out-compete them.

Some people have made the claim that you can avoid such issues by forcing the city to accept your property as "private" property, as opposed "residential", "commercial", etc.

The city is essentially stripping these people of their rights via legislation, and rights are considered a form of property. This is thus equivalent of the city stripping someone of private property without due process. Shouldn't they be able to sue to block this legislation?
