I had to retire early because neoliberalism wore me out, but now I have time for my hobbies. I was lucky, I had a good contract with my company so they paid me off, and a good final salary pension, something young people won't get today. <br /><br />This whole place could be quite sweet because of the technology. We could combat global warming, and raise living standards in the rest of the world. We could stem population growth, and improve conditions for the animals. <br /><br />But there's just too many psycho's about. People who say, f*** the third world. F*** the hungry, F*** the planet, f*** the wildlife, f*** the oceans, etc. Kaiveyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04195639305785321786noreply@blogger.com
