Hard work and success are rewarded with higher taxes and Government intrusion, while slothful, lazy behavior is rewarded with EBT cards, WIC checks, Medicaid and subsidized housing, and free cell phones.

It is a thread to follow, for sure.
Kids have some very skewed, grandiose ideas that they are all that. It comes from never losing in baseball, because their feelings might get hurt, awwww. I'm glad that isn't done here! If you lost, it meant you had to try harder and practice more. End of story. Just because a person exists, doesn't mean they are entitled to something not earned. That bugs me.
But back to the game, I've been thinking about that, too. It is difficult in the linear. I don't want to drop the ball. And if a profit can be turned, all the better. But I also hear you regarding any sort of small business, or entrepreneurial venture. It's almost certifiably insane to do so in the climate here. We have many friends who, regrettably, have had to let people go because of healthcare costs, taxes, etc., which then places them in the untenable position of not being able to keep up with work. It's a terrible catch 22! Why would anyone want to try? But that's it in a nutshell. Keep people on the govt teat, squash any spirit of pride of ownership, and have a dumbed downed population of drones!
Btw, Orion has been spectacular lately, and the Pleiades! Gorgeous!
