When you're young you're rambunctious and you don't understand why we're not changing the world RIGHT NOW! When you're middle-aged you get all "Well, you know, things do take time and they're really very complicated." When you're older you get like WHAT THE F ARE WE WAITING FOR?!

So, why don't any of these "phases" apply to Wall Street or the MIC? For as long as I can remember both have sucked up Trillion without pause. Moderation only seems to apply to social programs.

Are you considering becoming CA Senate candidate? I live in Oakland and will knock on doors for you.
Replying to @marwilliamson
You still look like things are "complicated," and fight like we might change the world... Much love.

I guess I skipped the middle aged part, because, when I was 39, vulture capitalists invaded my industry, broke every rule that cities use to regulate it, and replaced my middle income job with ones that pay less than minimum wage. Before that I wasn't exactly a fan of capitalism,

Old and over the bs excuses and lack of will.

Well, sorta. Except the power of inertia - cultural inertia built upon all kinds of myths that drive aspiration - is real & stomping your feet doesn鈥檛 work. But, yes. Except... how?

Wisdom is the exuberance of youth channeled with the maturity of experience.

When does that middle age chill kick in? I just turned 50, and I've never felt it. Tired of being stuck in perpetual wait mode by our representative government.
