With the election coming, the canidates seem to be as any year, the best of the worst.
But for some, especially the younger generation, Bernie Sanders was a light in a tunnel of darkness.
Younger people, and socialists alike gathered around the cause. Lets have free education, free childcare, free healthcare.
Normally Im not too political.
Mainly because its a wasteland.
But people got behind this idea of a candidate who would give them, and their daily lives what they wanted, what they needed, what they deserved.
I am not one of those people.
With education specifically, I paid my fair share, my 100k plus. And I'd like relief from that, or to have never had that at all, by different life choices, i.e. the military or just hard work, or even better, and education funded by my parentsn at least partially as I am attempting with my son.
But a free education is not something that is feesible.
What happened to working towards a goal?
I hate the hard work.
I work 7 days a week for it.
Blue and white collar.
But as a society, as an American Capitalistic society, progression is possible but not a total overnight transformation.
This is America and we believe anything is possible, especially overnight transformation.
Fat fighting, plastic surgery, Get Rich Quick schemes.
You name it, we as Americans have embraced it.
But thats a lie and momentary fleeting feelings and lifestyles.
Leaving us wanting more.
We are already offered healthcare, social systems such as primary education and safety, Obama phone, food if we need it, the postal service, financial services for secondary and post secondary education.
And frankly, if we want free college, free healthcare, free daycare, and anything else our hearts desire as free, we're just working to turn the rest of our lives over to public systems.
Public systems that don't work right, are over or under funded depending on the politicians, even Bernie.
Public systems like my community which left to its own accord is in massive debt, has an abysmal school system, and growing social issues.
Public systems dont improve our society, they slow it down. Innovation is slowed, if theres any room for it at all. Efficiency lacks. Progress as a society is left to the government when it should be left to the people.
Hope is a good thing.
Change for the better is a good thing.
Dramatic societal change such as free education and $15 minimum wage are impossible realities from the base we have now.
There is a better future but WE have to work for it.
The collective WE.
Us as individuals.
Not the government.
And certainly not Bernie Sanders.
