Being broke and being poor are very different. Poor people don’t have cell phones, or cars, or indoor plumbing. And they are usually malnourished. Most of our ”poor” are obese. Capitalism has made possible for the “poor” today a better quality of life than the wealthy 75 years ago, and for the poorest in America to be near the top of the socioeconomic ladder when compared to actual poor (no cell phone, no indoor plumbing) people around the globe. Your perspective is skewed.

When you see this painting, you feel resentment and anger about current economic conditions.
When I see it, I feel a bittersweet mix of pride, love, loss, and hope that is timeless and beautiful.
We are all entitled to our own perspective, and maybe mine makes me “dense”. But I’ll take it.

@OriginalGrogna1 Legendary. Great deck builder!

No one is forcing you to hate everything you experience either. That’s up to you. And in your perfect world, who cleans the sewer? Are there a group of people somewhere who just love doing this and having to do it everyday would fill their life’s ambition? If so I’d like to talk to one of them; I find this perspective fascinating. Or are we all just shitting in a bucket and throwing it in the street (again)? Man, communists are dumb!

@donwinslow Can’t hack the mail! 😂
Good one, man! I thought you were serious for a second.

@HailApollon @MPelletierCIO It looks a son eagerly awaiting a train to take him away on his new life while his father is reluctant to see him go. So my son and I could relate. But I’m sure you’re right. I am just a dumb machinist. Norman Rockwell was well known for class envy and resentment.

[IThinkinMetal @Ithinkinmetal]

Not a thing! I am proud to be a machinist, as I am proud of him for wanting to become a teacher. My point was that the Rockwell is beautiful and timeless, that it has nothing to do with class, that my son understood its meaning immediately, and to not see any of that but instead transpose your grievance politics on it is gross and sad!

You know why it doesn’t make sense-because it’s not true. Islam is criticized, justifiably, because they force their women out of school and into bags. Only clowns mock the victims. Same old tiresome, leftist obfuscation. How could anyone defend forcefully stuffing women and girls into bags, though? Make THAT make sense…

@BarrySchust Whitesnake-Cryin in the Rain. The ‘82 version is better, just like Here I Go Again.
