Zinn The Mood:
Gotta hustle out of here for their swimming lessons in LIC. Something nobody could argue isn’t universally necessary but have to wonder why it will cost us hundreds of dollars.
Voiced this complaint to the assembled parents there and got one Hungarian-born woman to respond. She said growing up every town there had a community center where every citizen gets free swimming lessons, among other things. Of course that was said in the past tense, when Hungary was a communist country.
Common sense communism beats predatory capitalism in the economic system sweepstakes any day.
So tired of being nickeled and dimed here for everything - and being brainwashed into thinking that living in the Greatest Country In The World means that the tax dollars our government demands of us should so naturally slide right to the military industrial complex, corporate “subsidies” and bank bailouts. Instead of for the things the 99% really need, such as universal free healthcare, regulated housing and food costs and free swimming lessons.
Almost the entire rest of the world has figured this out.
Thanks for the tunes, Rob.
Oh, the Zlatne Uste fest was so uplifting and amazing! Thanks again for plugging the many cool cultural events that you do.
