I saw a female a few weeks ago standing on an island near a traffic light. She was pregnant, appeared to be near term. could not read her sign, but she held it low so all could see her condition. Sad life that little one will be born into.

Although authorities periodically attempted crackdowns, their ultimate targets were themselves highly placed party officials. Brezhnev’s own family was deeply involved in the black market. Many observers mistook black marketeers for proto-capitalists. However, when the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991 took with it the state-planning system, they evolved not into entrepreneurs, but into large-scale criminal racketeers who throttle the economy today no less than state planners once did.

I see a lot of healthy in shape panhandlers.

A few days ago I was talking to a small business owner and those people infuriate him as much as they do me.

Since the early days of the Soviet Union, there has been a tradition to exaggerate the blame of the “black market” for consumer goods shortages, thus effectively shifting the blame off state bureaucrats with their inadequate planning.[2]

my sil does not work...he used to...worked for many years but now in his 40's and on their new property he is tending the hobby farm....my dtr works from home....

I don't like it....if she loses her job he'll need to get his act together....

I think our love of money over peace and tranquility is a noble idea to a point.

I’m 57 and retired. After my 23 years of Navy, I worked offshore for 10 years and made a few good decisions.
I go to school as a hobby, I ride my motorcycle, go for walks with my dog, and live just fine.
I think a lot of people of my generations had some foresight and planned well. This article seems to have an unfavorable view of people that don’t work because we worked smart for many years.

I know lots of guys that are Cash only. They may have bank accounts but that is just for things like child support, and such.
One popular theme is guys retiring in Thailand or other areas in SE Asia. In my network I know of three guys that did this,
but I live in rural Hawaii.
One problem they have is no SS, as they were cash only, their whole lives, so they have to scramble when they get old and feeble and can no longer work.

I’m sure my worthless 23yr old step son is on that list. He was getting food stamps at 19.
