I don't need Ishits to live, but I do need food, shelter, water, health, and clothing. There are needs and wants you know. I agree you're not like any of the blues that post here, though.  I agree with that part, man. It's like I believe that social insurance if a needed thing because I trust government far more than oligarchs like Bezos, Fuckerburg, Kroch Brothers, etc. It seems like you like Gilded ages.

I don't trust government with much of anything important these days.

OK.  I don't trust private enterprise at all, so it's a push.

I wouldn't trust either.  Both can and will try to abuse if they don't have an effective check and balance on them.  To the extent that the government has been bought by the corporations and their owners, we have checks and balances on neither.

What did Reagan claim?  "Trust but verify?"  We need both clearly.
