Seems to me that it is greed and envy to lust after the wealth a successful man has created for himself. Musk is their first target, but all the people he made wealthy on Friday should understand that they are in line behind him. The commiecrats want everyone to live in the same pool of misery so they can pretend to be our saviours while denying it is their policies and actions that will put us there.
Dem's hate Republicans of any stripe. If Soros changed parties they'd hate him as much as they hate RFK Jr and Tulsi. Hate is the operative word for Dems. They're swimming in it. I don't hate Dems. I just think they're incredibly naive and stupid. Big difference.
Ignorant implies they are unknowingly wrong and foolish. They are NOT. They understand that they are evil, they understand that their actions are deceptive, they understand that they have NO intention of helping anybody other than themselves. They covet wealth and power and care nothing who they hurt in the process of its acquisition.
I was looking at "ignorant" in regard to where they get their information. If their source of information is outlets like the NYT, NPR, CNN, MSNOW, etc - then they are ignorant about the facts & live in an upside-down world. One of my younger brothers, who's a LIBTARD, gave me one of his old Apple MacBook's - I've always been a IBM PC guy & didn't care for Apple products. I checked his saved bookmarks & they were all for far left sites. Before I gave it to my daughter, I deleted those bookmarks. When the 2016 election came along, he emailed me some ridiculous stuff that was full of lies about Trump. We stopped talking when I called him ignorant. He took it as me calling him stupid, but I told him he was ignorant of the facts due to his left-wing sources.
Ignorant is not enough of an explanation. There is no excuse to be ignorant today when you can read and dig down and find the information for yourself in stead of being lazy and gullible and listening to other idiots who are gullible, stupid and worse evil. Why our gov't lets people like Soros to continue what they do is a mystery to me.
I just the same thing and saw your's just as I was about to post. They are not ignorant. They're evil. Look at what Soros did to his fellow Jews to get ahead. Bill Gates stole a platform from Steve Jobs. Zuckerberg screwed over his college buddies and stole Facebook. They and others like them back the commies because they will be in control. Like the Russian oligarchy.
The people that have less because the commissars and others who run the socialist/communist governments have more - from the peasants they rule over them.
Well, the socialists/communists in the USA are the democrats, as they have openly admitted, and they are the ones who are benefiting from all the fraud that steals our tax dollars. In that way, you are right. So if we get rid of the democrats and the fraud, our taxes should go down and we will be able to have more of our own money to save or spend as we decide which is best for ourselves and not our theiving government deciding for us.
For almost all the Democrats who rail about the billionaires, it's somewhat strange that there are billionaires that are contributing a lot to a lot to them.
It is similar to when these yoyos cry about the unfair and unequal distribution of wealth! This displays their phenomenal ignorance on steroids. Wealth is NOT distributed. It is earned by the person who creates it. They apparently think money does grow on trees and someone picks it and chooses how to distribute it. They are dangerous morons.
Remember, not that long ago a guy created Tesla and became the idol of the left everywhere. Then he helped a president reduce leftist corruption, and they started keying the cars he built………that are owned by the very people who now hate him. You just can’t make this stuff up. Actually, I use Tesla as a way of spotting and avoiding leftist, so thanks Elon.
Hanging around here long enough, a person could come away with twin degrees in history and political science - not that the latter is that much of a science - PDJT makes it an art form.
I’ve been reading Land of Hope by Wilfred McClay as a run up to our 250th. Can’t recommend it too highly. Learning a lot.
For example, Progressivism came from Woodrow Wilson’s “high-flown idealism”. He was a good war President (WW I) though he was drug into it unwillingly. Afterwards he concluded the same effort could achieve victory over all social ills, (see William James: The Moral Equivalent of War).
The people, though, rejected his idealism, being tired of the austerity required of a war-time economy, and gave Harding a 60% landslide. Harding, in Trump-like fashion, sought to reduce Wilson’s regulatory agencies. “NOTABLY, TOO, HE REVERSED WILSON’S POLICY OF EXCLUDING AFRICAN AMERICANS FROM FEDERAL POSITIONS.
76 to be exact, 76 years of lies. You could have broken that down to days for Musk, and to be fair, you could have put the entire senate in with Warren.
Thus, Elon Musk has done more positive things in one day than our current members of Congress have done in their many years of converting oxygen and sugar back into plant food.
I really see no need for congress as they are just a bunch of pontificating windbags who huff and puff and never get a single freaking thing accomplished. Think Jim Jordan. Just think; 535 congress critters and then scores of staff of each one of them. So much worthless energy and money spent by these worthless cretins.
They see themselves as the discoverers. Then they wait for someone to actually take the discoveries and do something about them. They never understand that they were elected to do both.
Elon Musk and the entrepreneurs who built and continue to build America are like the lead dogs in a dog sled, they all have teeth marks on their respective asses!
Musk is our Thomas Edison. He's a mad genius on a mission. I'm thinking it's comparable to the saying "go west young man". I'm telling my grand kids who are trying to figure out what to do with their lives, go work for SpaceX. Millions left home and went west. Some made it and some didn't. It changed our country forever. The mission to Mars is the same phenomena. Get on board or get left behind.
I'm going to start buying SpaceX but not for me. I'm buying it for my grandkids. When they're middle age they'll fondly remember me and thank me or, they'll be pissed that I blew their inheritance. Either way, I'll be remembered.....
The battle between Edison and George Westinghouse is one of the great epics of Western history. Although undeniably a great inventor, Edison does not come out as a great man, rather a petty, small one.
And then J.P. Morgan, through stock manipulation, takes Edison General Electric away from him. Some of these guys were incredibly nasty. Great reading, though ....
Very true - many of the inventions credited to Edison were invented by others. Like Nicolas Tesla who worked for Edison until Edison screwed him. Tesla died penniless.
He's my hero. As you drive across this Great Land, every time you look up and see power lines arrayed in groups of three, you see the work of Nikola Tesla.
"Pretty sure my last car will be self driving." Ha ha. Somehow that reminds me of the joke...'When I die, I want to go peacefully in my sleep. Not screaming in terror like those riding in his car.'
Great if you live in a town where you can walk every place you need to go to, but if you live in the rural suburbs like we do - where we still have farms & horse farms - but there are no sidewalks - a car is a necessity. My Mom owned a timeshare in Hollywood, FL - she loved that she could walk on the boardwalk & didn't have to drive anywhere to dine or shop.
I don view Musk thru the prison of wealth. I see him as a guy who has created numerous useful companies that employ countless Americans who are creating better lives for themselves and others. Musk is making America great again, every single day.
JP Morgan was funding work being done by Tesla to develop a commercial wireless telegraphy and telephony system capable of transmitting messages across the Atlantic Ocean to compete with Guglielmo Marconi’s radio-based technology. But Tesla was actually working on wireless power transmission, which would have provided free electricity and rendered Morgan’s existing power investments obsolete. As soon as JP found it, he cut the funding.
The Last Days of Night: A Novel by Graham Moore is an excellent historic novel Westinghouse vs Edison and a lot about Tesla too. I can’t recommend it enough.
It will make a lot of people rich eventually but I agree with you. Elon isnt the expert working in his companies, hes the culture. I wish him all the best as he has already surpassed my expectation of him. Tesla is not the heart of his culture, SpaceEx is. Hes done what an entire federal government and NASA could not do and for less money.
"Musk is our Thomas Edison..." and our Nikola Tesla whose ideas lead to the AC electrical works that made electricity a whole less dangerous than DC electricity.
The Left never complains about the wealth of Gates and Soros and countless Hollywood elites. They only hate rich moderate/conservatives. Hypocrites through and through.
Was realizing the other day, you never, ever hear anyone on the Left even so much as mention the name of George or Alex Soros, in any context whatsoever. Even when either of their names is brought up they won’t even acknowledge it, rather they just immediately move to another subject.
The only mentions of him are when some of them post their obligatory photo with either the son or the father signifying their obedience to their Overlord, or as a caption when one or both might be present at some function of their cohorts in crime.
It’s like they are the well-known secret no one connected to them is supposed to ever acknowledge.
Well not even necessarily in a negative connotation. They don’t even ever publicly thank him for his “support” for example, or “laud his genius” or honor him in any way, seeing he’s their most major benefactor.
It’s like he almost doesn’t exist- or that’s what they’d like people to think.
The Democrat Party hates Musk because he exposes the fraud. Government spends trillions and cannot match what one driven capitalist builds with risk, vision, engineering, and nerve. SpaceX catches rockets. Starlink connects the world. Neuralink may restore function to broken bodies. Tesla forces the future into the driveway. Meanwhile, Elizabeth Warren and the envy caucus demand a wealth tax because destruction is easier than creation. Yes, fortunes can vanish. Ask Cleveland’s railroad kings. But buildings, systems, inventions, and courage remain. Kimmel boos. Maher jokes. Warren confiscates. Musk builds. In the end, history remembers the builders.
Yes they will, but it will depend on who is in charge at the time of the remembering. If MAGA, then they will be celebrated as people of great innovation. If we lose the midterms and slide back to the slime of the Biden era, they will be 'Kimmeled' at every opportunity.
The war ending (can we trust anything Iranians say?)) should help a lot as markets are poised to explode and oil pricing should fall despite our need to replenish vast reserves for our security.
Yes, of course Musk's trillion is a lot of paper gains. The true wealth is all the technically advanced inventions he has fostered into existence. Those workers in SpaceX can't sell their shares for a lockdown period. Congratulations Elon Musk a great American.
Communism/socialism/the Democrat party are nothing mysterious. They leverage the oldest of the Seven Deadly Sins, envy, to acquire power, which they then use to enrich themselves - of course at everybody else's expense. It's the lazy man's way of getting rich - rather like Only Fools, which leverages the world's oldest drive - sex - as another easy way of gaining assets (and some of them have HUGE assets) without that more uncomfortable "By the sweat of your brow you will eat" thingy prescribed in Genesis ....
As a a newbie to faith, I had never heard acronyms 2 and 3 on your list, but I think they're wonderful, especially the "anyhow" version, which kind of says it all...
He's no Johnny Carson, that's for sure. Johnny's old clips are still hilarious. Anyone remember his "Copper Clappers" skit with Jack Webb. Timeless humor....
I actually had an "internship" with Yip Harberg back in the 1960's as he put together a Broadway musical, The Happiest Girl in the World. Charming man. Believed in getting to socialism peacefully and had hated what Stalin, etc. did. However, the House UnAmerican Activities Committee had kept him from work for years.
Instead of "Brother" as his song, think of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" and the rest of the lyrics for Wizard of Oz. Not to mention Finian's Rainbow.
But, as for needing capitalism, Surber is correct. Government CANNOT create useful programs. We stopped going to space 50 years ago because we were "going to end poverty in the US." Great job, there. We spend more on schools and kids learn less. We get government grants that essentially go to bureaucrats who never serve the problem.
Take the money. Hire one more of those DOGE guys and cut more waste from the government. I bet we could make more money from THAT than from taxing Musk,
Turns out his name was Harburg, not HarbErg. But I agree that anyone who wrote (besides "Brother, Can You Spare a Dime?"), "April in Paris," "It's Only a Paper Moon," and all of the songs in "The Wizard of Oz" including "Over the Rainbow" can't be all bad. Besides, a lot of great artistic achievers get caught up in radical politics. It's related to their specialty of conjuring up dreams -- in the case of Leftist ones, disastrous dreams. But we should cut them a break and overlook that part.
I calculated the “savings” from eliminating the congressional salaries and dedicating the monies to debt reduction. Based on Surber’s 5 seconds (per Congressional salary), it would amount to about 45 minutes in total.
We leave this world with precisely that amount of wealth that we bring into it. What we do in between the arrival and departure dates determines where we will spend eternity. If acquisition is your goal, then your eternity will be spent suffering in complete poverty. If you have used your time here wisely, you will have an eternity to express your gratitude to the One Who made it possible.
"For you say, “I am rich, I have prospered, and I need nothing,” not realizing that you are wretched, pitiable, poor, blind, and naked. I counsel you to buy from me gold refined by fire, so that you may be rich, and white garments so that you may clothe yourself and the shame of your nakedness may not be seen, and salve to anoint your eyes, so that you may see.
Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and eat with him, and he with me.
He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.’” Rev. 3, 17-22.
The choice is before you at every moment. Choose wisely.
I went with the cheeseburgers in the poll. A bag of Cheese McDoubles is food for the summer roadtrip and it supports jobs for teenagers and laid off Microsoft employees.
I toured a Shaker settlement once, I believe it was in Pennsylvania. They made simple but beautiful furniture. And they built big residential buildings, strictly for men only or women only. And so they died out. As the sex therapist said: DUH!"
The left abhors greed while worshipping envy.
Exactly who has less because Musk has more?
Seems to me that it is greed and envy to lust after the wealth a successful man has created for himself. Musk is their first target, but all the people he made wealthy on Friday should understand that they are in line behind him. The commiecrats want everyone to live in the same pool of misery so they can pretend to be our saviours while denying it is their policies and actions that will put us there.

"It's that they know so much that just isn't so." Reagan
They hate GOD. In their rage, they also hate everything he created and called good. They have more demons than the one scripture called Legion.

My word of choice for DEM's is "ignorant".
Evil
Ignorant implies they are unknowingly wrong and foolish. They are NOT. They understand that they are evil, they understand that their actions are deceptive, they understand that they have NO intention of helping anybody other than themselves. They covet wealth and power and care nothing who they hurt in the process of its acquisition.
I was looking at "ignorant" in regard to where they get their information. If their source of information is outlets like the NYT, NPR, CNN, MSNOW, etc - then they are ignorant about the facts & live in an upside-down world.

He took it as me calling him stupid, but I told him he was ignorant of the facts due to his left-wing sources.
My relationship with my litter sister beame strained during the Obama years. I was racist because I opposed him.
Ignorant is not enough of an explanation. There is no excuse to be ignorant today when you can read and dig down and find the information for yourself in stead of being lazy and gullible and listening to other idiots who are gullible, stupid and worse evil. Why our gov't lets people like Soros to continue what they do is a mystery to me.

Willfully so
Let’s try “delusional.” Or at the very barest - people who lie to make money, which they worship above all. (I don’t have one single word for that.)
"Conman" comes to mind.
As PDJT always says they hate you, I am just in the way so we normals are not exempt from socialist greed.
The people that have less because the commissars and others who run the socialist/communist governments have more - from the peasants they rule over them.
Well, the socialists/communists in the USA are the democrats, as they have openly admitted, and they are the ones who are benefiting from all the fraud that steals our tax dollars.

Exactly! This is not a zero sum game. Capitalism/commerce creates, not divides wealth.
It is similar to when these yoyos cry about the unfair and unequal distribution of wealth! This displays their phenomenal ignorance on steroids. Wealth is NOT distributed. It is earned by the person who creates it. They apparently think money does grow on trees and someone picks it and chooses how to distribute it. They are dangerous morons.
And the Dems/libs spend it actually faster than the Capitalists can make it.
Certainly not the folks in rural North Carolina
Remember, not that long ago a guy created Tesla and became the idol of the left everywhere. Then he helped a president reduce leftist corruption, and they started keying the cars he built………that are owned by the very people who now hate him. You just can’t make this stuff up. Actually, I use Tesla as a way of spotting and avoiding leftist, so thanks Elon.
Dang Redd, I am thinking to buy a self driver when Elon cuts them loose so I do not have to park at sundown.
I agree Marlon. At 84 I still drive and ride motorbikes but recognise I’m living on borrowed time. Driving at night is increasingly challenging.
If I can’t buy an autonomous car when they are available then perhaps low cost Cybercabs will keep me mobile.
Sorry Marlan, but none of my friends have one. They all seem to be lefties. Buyer beware.
They might say they abhor greed, but they wallow in it. They want everyone but themselves to be poor and dependent on the government.
Or should I say their owners want everyone else to be poor?
They also need someone else to blame for the problems they have created
Ah— a Californian perhaps?
Wow. Brevity is the art of wit...And Wisdom! I like it, BJ. Mind if I borrow it?
By all means, yes.
My motto is CASE (copy and steal everything).
China beat you to that one. Sorry.
I hope Musk can come up with something to help my AMD (macular degeneration) eyesight.
The flea collars seemed like a decent option because dogs don’t know about the debt.
I voted for dog flea collars too.
As the old French saying goes, “The more I know of man, the more I love my dog.”
Amen. He may get fleas, but he doesn't backstab* nor get jealous.
*lack of thumbs may be responsible. He does get annoyed when I don't share dinner.
Thanks. I need this one too.
Not sure what it is about the French, but they are good at sayings but can’t seem to evolve one iotta.
That’s because they believe that they’ve already evolved beyond anyone else so there’s no need to change.
…although they’re already on welfare.
^ I agree!!
I chose flea collars too because I love dogs and they give me (not all) pleasure and deserve comfort from itching.
Elon Musk has done more positive things for mankind in one year than Elizabeth Warren has in 70 some years on this earth.
Going through life covetous, hateful and selfish is sad and unbecoming for an artificial Native American (😂🤣)
Mr. S your history lessons are always welcomed by this subscriber. Thanks.
Ditto on that.
Hanging around here long enough, a person could come away with twin degrees in history and political science - not that the latter is that much of a science - PDJT makes it an art form.

Elon Musk and the entrepreneurs who built and continue to build America are like the lead dogs in a dog sled, they all have teeth marks on their respective asses!
Unless you're the lead dog, the view(and ass biting and smell) never changes...
Musk is our Thomas Edison. He's a mad genius on a mission. I'm thinking it's comparable to the saying "go west young man". I'm telling my grand kids who are trying to figure out what to do with their lives, go work for SpaceX. Millions left home and went west. Some made it and some didn't. It changed our country forever. The mission to Mars is the same phenomena. Get on board or get left behind.
I'm going to start buying SpaceX but not for me. I'm buying it for my grandkids. When they're middle age they'll fondly remember me and thank me or, they'll be pissed that I blew their inheritance. Either way, I'll be remembered.....

Don't get me started.
I sincerely hope Don is correct that self-driving cars will advance in time for this old lady to keep my autonomy. It might be a photo finish...
Pretty sure my last car will be self driving. I could use one right now for driving at night.
"Pretty sure my last car will be self driving." Ha ha. Somehow that reminds me of the joke...'When I die, I want to go peacefully in my sleep. Not screaming in terror like those riding in his car.'
Ha ha, same!
Just continue to live where you can use your walker everywhere to get around. That's my plan!
Well since my new hip the walker is now in the basement. Keeping it anyway in case I need to do the other one.
Great if you live in a town where you can walk every place you need to go to, but if you live in the rural suburbs like we do - where we still have farms & horse farms - but there are no sidewalks - a car is a necessity. My Mom owned a timeshare in Hollywood, FL - she loved that she could walk on the boardwalk & didn't have to drive anywhere to dine or shop.
I don view Musk thru the prison of wealth. I see him as a guy who has created numerous useful companies that employ countless Americans who are creating better lives for themselves and others. Musk is making America great again, every single day.
Don’t judge Edison based on one event. Brilliant guy who didn’t get caught up in people telling him something couldn’t be done.

The Last Days of Night: A Novel by Graham Moore is an excellent historic novel Westinghouse vs Edison and a lot about Tesla too. I can’t recommend it enough.
Never buy stock until the IPO hype settles. In this case, it will rise, fall sustainably, and rise again. Wait for the low.
SpaceX stock scares me to no end ; something happens to Elon and it becomes worthless quick .
It will make a lot of people rich eventually but I agree with you. Elon isnt the expert working in his companies, hes the culture. I wish him all the best as he has already surpassed my expectation of him. Tesla is not the heart of his culture, SpaceEx is. Hes done what an entire federal government and NASA could not do and for less money.
GMTA Jake !

It’s like they are the well-known secret no one connected to them is supposed to ever acknowledge.
Wonder if they are commanded to do such? 🤔
Weird that, but interesting.
I think it's some sort of Borg instinct - protect the hive mind.
You never badmouth the boss when he controls the bonus checks.
Well not even necessarily in a negative connotation. They don’t even ever publicly thank him for his “support” for example, or “laud his genius” or honor him in any way, seeing he’s their most major benefactor.
It’s like he almost doesn’t exist- or that’s what they’d like people to think.
Last sentence Suzie !!
Oh I think they would hate even destitute conservatives.
They have always been that way, they just came out of the closet with it all the last few years.
The Democrat Party hates Musk because he exposes the fraud. Government spends trillions and cannot match what one driven capitalist builds with risk, vision, engineering, and nerve.

In the end history is written by liberals and if they hate you, you don't get honorable mention.
Yes, of course Musk's trillion is a lot of paper gains. The true wealth is all the technically advanced inventions he has fostered into existence. Those workers in SpaceX can't sell their shares for a lockdown period. Congratulations Elon Musk a great American.
I'd take a locked down paper million any day over no paper million. Good for those folks. I'm sure more millions will be made in the near future too.
Communism/socialism/the Democrat party are nothing mysterious. They leverage the oldest of the Seven Deadly Sins, envy, to acquire power, which they then use to enrich themselves - of course at everybody else's expense. It's the lazy man's way of getting rich - rather like Only Fools, which leverages the world's oldest drive - sex - as another easy way of gaining assets (and some of them have HUGE assets) without that more uncomfortable "By the sweat of your brow you will eat" thingy prescribed in Genesis ....

Your #3 is what he meant based on his comment, I believe.
Does the envy come first, or pride? To think that one is so superior that they can order others about like pawns on a chessboard?
Pride comes before the fall, so near the end. That puts envy out front. Just my take.
Envy is a natural leader to all others imho.
The only millionaires the fake Indian and Bernie have created is themselves . Elon created thousands the other day.
Bernie ans the fake Indian need to shut up about Elon and his monwy.
As I understand it, Fauxcahontis made that asinine comment from the back of a limo. These people really are tone deaf.
Kimmel's an unfunny, partisan dick. Anybody who thinks it's "funny" goading strangers to reach down into his pants has got some serious issues.

"Here comes boomer".
Opens envelope. " What does a B-52 pilot say as he flies over Iran?"
musk is more interesting than every liberal marxist feminist dei woke urchin that ever lived...combined.
I actually had an "internship" with Yip Harberg back in the 1960's as he put together a Broadway musical, The Happiest Girl in the World. Charming man. Believed in getting to socialism peacefully and had hated what Stalin, etc. did. However, the House UnAmerican Activities Committee had kept him from work for years.
Instead of "Brother" as his song, think of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" and the rest of the lyrics for Wizard of Oz. Not to mention Finian's Rainbow.
But, as for needing capitalism, Surber is correct. Government CANNOT create useful programs. We stopped going to space 50 years ago because we were "going to end poverty in the US." Great job, there. We spend more on schools and kids learn less. We get government grants that essentially go to bureaucrats who never serve the problem.
Take the money. Hire one more of those DOGE guys and cut more waste from the government. I bet we could make more money from THAT than from taxing Musk,
Pretty sure you've outlined the Trumpsters plan. It's gonna take a lot more time than he's got. Gonna need Trump2 to carry it forward.
Turns out his name was Harburg, not HarbErg. But I agree that anyone who wrote (besides "Brother, Can You Spare a Dime?"), "April in Paris," "It's Only a Paper Moon," and all of the songs in "The Wizard of Oz" including "Over the Rainbow" can't be all bad. Besides, a lot of great artistic achievers get caught up in radical politics. It's related to their specialty of conjuring up dreams -- in the case of Leftist ones, disastrous dreams. But we should cut them a break and overlook that part.
I calculated the “savings” from eliminating the congressional salaries and dedicating the monies to debt reduction. Based on Surber’s 5 seconds (per Congressional salary), it would amount to about 45 minutes in total.
STILL WORTH IT imho.
We leave this world with precisely that amount of wealth that we bring into it. What we do in between the arrival and departure dates determines where we will spend eternity. If acquisition is your goal, then your eternity will be spent suffering in complete poverty. If you have used your time here wisely, you will have an eternity to express your gratitude to the One Who made it possible.
"For you say, “I am rich, I have prospered, and I need nothing,” not realizing that you are wretched, pitiable, poor, blind, and naked. I counsel you to buy from me gold refined by fire, so that you may be rich, and white garments so that you may clothe yourself and the shame of your nakedness may not be seen, and salve to anoint your eyes, so that you may see.
Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and eat with him, and he with me.
He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.’” Rev. 3, 17-22.
The choice is before you at every moment. Choose wisely.
I went with the cheeseburgers in the poll. A bag of Cheese McDoubles is food for the summer roadtrip and it supports jobs for teenagers and laid off Microsoft employees.
Agree. The world needs more Happy … and Cheeseburger Meals.
Man that's some wacky background on those Shakers! They sure didn't get the memo did they?
I toured a Shaker settlement once, I believe it was in Pennsylvania. They made simple but beautiful furniture. And they built big residential buildings, strictly for men only or women only. And so they died out. As the sex therapist said: DUH!"
In a way, aren't they like DEM's by not procreating. Weird cults.
Dems procreate, at least the ones on welfare with ten kids and nine baby daddies in prison.
True for the welfare queens, but I read that the AWFLS are choosing to not get married & raise families.
Made some nice furniture. That's about it.
