More Micro-Management From The Overlords

Post by SHMIV »

Apparently, the Overlords don't like steak or root beer. Or, they really do, and want to keep it for themselves.

If they limit my bacon availability, I'm gonna be severely put out.

Because they are concerned for the environment?

Freedom, I suppose, has become freedom to follow orders. Freedom from the burdens of independent and critical thinking.

Just think; when you no longer have to find a job because one will be provided for you, when you don't have to worry about a home because it's provided for you, when you don't have to worry about food because it's provided for you, you don't have to worry about a spouse because it's provided for you... how freeing! No stress! All you have to do is follow orders; don't think about it, just do it.

Freedom!

Hasn't that been done before?

Also look at "A Brave New World" and Von Hayek "The Road to Serfdom" for additional reads. ll were written at about the same time in the 40's with "Altlas Shrugged" written in the 30s

Mr. Smith at the automated checkout of his local grocery store.

Machine "Welcome to Food Heaven. Please scan your card."

Mr. Smith scans his card.

Machine "Card approved. Please scan your first item"

Mr. Smith scans his first item which is a steak.

Machine "Purchase Denied. Your allotment of beef for the month has been exceeded. Assistance is on it's way."

Mr. Smith "@$*!% government."
No Exceptions.

I suppose it's tellling that I initially read the above link as, "freebacon.com"..... :hysterical:
My grandfather said, "Always use your head!".
I told him, "I want to pound nails!"
He said, "Best use a hammer instead."
