EAT THE RICH?

 We need to 'Eat the rich'. 

We need to seize their wealth and assets and use it for the common good.

The myths they create jobs or their wealth somehow trickles down is long busted.

What measures could be implemented? This is hard, I'll admit.

Land is key. It should be nationalised.

Rich people can lease it back if they can make money from it. So these grouse moors and dear parks should revert to the state.

Of course, we need a state that in no way resembles what we currently have. But that's a given.

Houses and so on should be taxed heavily. Everyone should have the right to about 100m2 of living space untaxed [and possibly rent free?]. 

Above that, taxes should be levied. This would force large mansions to be 'useful' and if unable to pay taxes the rich's property should revert to the state, which can use it for many purposes benefiting society.

As for investments. shares etc? I don't actually like this way of raising funds.

I would have a state body allocate funding for major projects. 

I favour free enterprise for small business, with minimal regulations, levies, etc. And state capitalism for everything big. This is a no brainer really.

POSH BASTARDS

 I'm not a fan of posh gits. I try to tolerate them, but mostly I want them to die out.

When I first arrived here the posh sobs got on my nerves. I never much liked the local yokels either.

I don't like the human race very much. Living abroad we do not get that issue as the cues are invisible to us.

I really want to go back to Vietnam at some point. Though it will be difficult and stuff must change first.

Maybe I will die before I can go back. But that is what I want - go back, do what I can to use my skills and ability then die before too long.....I'm tired of this shit. Really I am.

It's hard to converse with Ann as she is so far away from me on this. She thinks posh people are better in some way. 

Some of course are, and some are not. I judge people on their merits not birth. And that I hate about here is that things so often work in the opposite direction.

Key is zero engagement. Let her talk. She prefers to talk not converse. She seems incapable of learning new things.

 

OK. We are not friends at all. I am grateful but will not share her views. They're pure prejudices.

As for Andrew, well a man destroyed by his work. Unable to see the world clearly. Easier to ignore his BS because he is innately shy and quiet.

WEARY

 Yep - 12 hour days are tiring. It was not so bad but it is long.

Accomplished little really. Talked to a new person who is nice. Ophelia from the Philippines.

Cannot summon the willpower to do anything about the housing issue. I don't believe it will work anyway - just have to try.

Have Minh today. That'll be something positive.

 

I want to place another Varusteleka order. Fancy another coat to take the wear off my gore tex one. It has weird white crumbs from a seam... and is not super waterproof either.

 

Maybe next month.

 

I want a Thai massage. It will help my back pain and be pleasant. £50 though. We'll see how we stand in a few weeks.

 

PROGRESS??

 Now have 30 hours a week at TESCOS. 

 

Is this good? 

1. It's more money. 
2. I meet more people - most are nice...
   
3. I have less time to kill.

But the negatives...

1.  It is tiring..
2. It is boring..
3. It is never going to be enough..I'd need around 50 hours a week to live on..
4. Some of the people are not so nice
   
5. The customers are often rich feckers who are buying stuff I will never be able to ..

 

So - is it actually progress? No. But it may be a detour I have to take.

 

Reculer pour mieux avancer...

 09/9/2021

 

Another day dawns. Looks ok. Dry - cooler.

 

I feel better than some days. Yesterday was a low one.

 

I hope this workshop will be some use - it clashes with the cleaner coming and stops me going to aikido.Which I did not want to do except to help clean anyway. I'm curious to meet Rose but another time maybe.

I should try to figure a way to let Esme clean in here - maybe 4:30 or later - I could ask her to do it last then reset when I get in. Probly best option.

I can clean myself but I do not do it so well.

My ankle has been sore - not had that for a while. I must have done something to it yesterday. The apples perhaps. should buy a bandage or support - more expense...

Fun game with Han. She might win - which is good. Gotta let them win sometimes - without letting them win. Maybe Loi can win too - if he can stop farming too much.

I will try to figure out how to play Britannia. It's 3-5 hours long. 2 x 3 hour sessions would do I guess - 3 players.

 

Need more 2 player games to play with Han. She has the time and motivation.

Nice girl - no more than basically attractive though...endomorphs never are my thing. Like blondes...just don't grab me.

THINGS I HATE ABOUT HERE...

 This could be long...

1. I hate how people look - few are pleasant looking and almost no women are attractive. Too many freaks. 
2. I hate how they sound. It's not charming. It's grating.
3. Everything is too expensive.
4. It's cold and will get worse.
5. The political shitshow is worse when it is less remote. 
6. People are disinformed - this is worse than the uninformed VN situation. If you don't know you can learn - but the disinformed know for sure stuff that just ain't so.
7. I am lonely and have no friends - but do not want to be friends with the people I see around.
   

A NEW MONTH...

 Well. September.

Waiting for the doctor to call.

I have my list.

Main thing is diabetes tests. 

Moles too. They may be a way in. 

Mood has been very low. I need CBT and to join a group for therapy maybe. I cannot pay though. There is a mindfulness course - but £200 for 8 sessions is impossible.

Trying to get help from various people with no use at all. Lilli wants to offer practical help. Which is not any use. Tien never engages - she is self absorbed. I accept that.

Sharmin is no use either - very fragile herself.

I don't think I can do more right now. 

Having a job to do that makes me go out and move around is the best I can manage. Some kind of social life would also help.

I love to play games and enjoy the banter. It's the best thing I can do.

Step by step. There is no avoiding the grieving process. It is what it is as they say.

I need someone to say - it's ok - this is normal. Nothing is your fault. It will pass.

I guess I have to tell myself that as much as possible. Nobody else gets it.
