You contribute to the loss of laundry jobs by employing machines. This cancels enough of your contribution to make it much less meaningful. Also, those "lazy shits" receive (in net) nothing from you. By and large, your tax dollars fund war and conquest on a far greater scale than they do the social safety net. At least some of the money spent by welfare recipients comes back to laundromats and almost all of it stays in the economy.

Get over it, pride is a vice.

Nice, Abandon:clap: +Rep.

Additionally, 'safety net' of which they speak, are often EARNED BENEFITS that slip memory..you see, big government = good..just NOT for poor/working classes.

LOL. Loss of laundry jobs ?? Please show me how. Do you think there is a factory that washes clothes by hand and not machines ? You reaching. If you are able to work and contribute to society, you should be doing so. Not one who is able to work but does not because he/she can get handouts. When I see someone with a work for food sign, I wonder why he/she is not spending that time seeking employment. In most cases ( 99 % ) it is due to drugs. I'm not here to support some else drug habits.

WTF...
Welfare is not a fucking earned benefit weirdo. You can get that shit by not working and applying for it. I'm all for it for those who need it, but fucks who abuse the system and sit on their fat asses doing nothing tends to piss me off. Grown ass man sitting around with his wife and 3 kids collecting a fucking check, because it is easier than putting on boots and getting to work

You're the one reaching just to tell yourself that your shift is for any reason other than to make a living. I'm not saying there is something wrong with that, but you're no more important to society than a homeless drug addict with a sign. That person will likely still contribute genetically and culturally and it takes only moments to make meaningful contributions to society that will last, but not by working a shift. We work shifts to pay bills.

Even if you work "doing what you love", in time it will become drudgery that you do because you must, lest you become the homeless drug addict, but someone else will then fill the niche you left open.

As for laundry, I can tell by your questions you haven't done much traveling.

No, but maybe you would be more useful to society if you fixed washers and dryers and if you've got the skills, maybe even make them more efficient.

WOW you want people to wash clothes like some third rate country. We have running hot water for a reason. Why do you hate clean clothes ? Does the washing all your clothes by hand make you somewhat bitter ?
FYI I spent 22 years USAF. Most of it TDY out of a flight and duffel bag. Not to many places I have not been minus China excluding Hong Kong, and Russia

Actually, my clothes seem to always come out really clean when they are washed by locals near the dive centers I have worked in. Hanging out in the sun is also preferable to the machines. I'm not saying I have a great preference as to how my clothes are washed, I'm saying your enterprise doesn't meaningfully contribute to improving society when the things I have mentioned are taken into account. You're the one getting bitter about it, twisting my words and trying to convince yourself your laundromat is making the world a better place. You certainly didn't make the world a better place in uniform.

I have not seen one single air force joe in any of the spectacular diving destinations I have worked in or visited as a client. Not even one in 32 countries over the last 5 years has crossed my path. In fact, when I was in the army, I was always surprised to find how these airforce joes would talk about the places they had been, including warzones, but had never actually gotten out and explored. They seemed to stay in the FOB, out of danger so I am guessing they never left the comfort of the airport in places other than warzones.

I do get bitter about overpaying for laundry services and getting back clothes that I have to turn around and take to another launderer. It never happens in these "third rate countries" only in the US where people think they're important. You should just get over it. You're just another squirrel trying to get a nut. Do your business, hustle your laundromat, nothing wrong with that. Quit trying to convince yourself that you're important. I'm not bitter, you replied to my comment and I'm just keeping it real.

What's interesting is that this isn't new in the American experience; it turns out that the plutocrats have taken over our government before- several times- and the People had to throw them out.

Thus, there is precedent.
