Everything?
That's correct.
A man of privilege
volunteer, support local, and play music
I think about how much worse it would be if I was in another paradigm where even expressing such an opinion would get me punished, jailed, or killed, then go on with my day.
I say "thank goodness I don't live in China, or worse." Then I go back to trying to improve my life.
China, while isn't great, isn't actually that bad, just look at North Korea, or Taliban controlled Afghanistan, and that's what bad really means.

- To be or not to be
- But that's not the question
- How to be me
- If I'm more than a profession
- Won't leave me be
- If only to form a question
- While I try to want to be
- So I cope with the trope
- Choke on their smoke
- And pretend I learned their lesson
- Wait for a rift in the grift
- And not drift into depression
- Hard to try an ignore the lie
- So they can worship their myth
- To give their false confession
I try to maximize my time doing things I actually like doing. I don't have control over the rest of the hell hole, but I can try to make my small part of it bearable. Even better if I can share the enjoyment with others so they can escape, if only for a while
Nice try fed.
Me and my family have been doing really well since we escaped the leftist venezuelan dictatorship.
Simple. Learn to play that game and try to succeed.
If you get up and just go to work every day expect to fail. Learn to use the stock market. Learn to use options. Start small. Like real small. Don't use real money. Just write down on a piece of paper and figure out your results.
Once you're making money on paper then put in a small amount of money and try. Try. Try. Try. Try again.
You can't stop capitalism but you can use it in your favor.

Knowing it’s better than the alternatives being touted.
