"Measures of change to the establishment to ensure its services keep up with the will and needs of the people are needed.

What, therefore, are the measures of change needed for the next generation to be able to pursue and attain the decent standard of life everyone wants?

This is the question the media should be addressing, not the debate as to whether or not the protesters or the authorities are in the right or wrong.

Well we decided, since they are wrong to demand other people's money as if it were a common resource, we should change how lenient we are to protestors so we all have a better standard of life without being hit by a brick or forced to detour to avoid smelly people tackling cops.

We have no obligation to provide "services" to people just because they demand it.  That course leads to Greece.

Most nations fail, and I don't see any reason why we should cripple the greatest nation that ever worked, to resemble all those Latin American and African and Asian and European states that went under, because "everybody thinks we should"

My grandparents went through the Great Depression and when I talked to that generation they were full of stories about how they changed to survive

They didn't talk about bitching in the street about getting other people's stuff

and my Great-Grandparents, that generation, DAMN they saved string and cardboard and aluminum foil all their lives. Cause back in the Depression stores ran out.  If one of them was alive, and like 50 years younger, they'd be up in your protesting ass with a axehandle  cause you are drinking $2 cups of coffee and demanding socialism pay your bills!  And yeah their street protests involved assault with a deadly weapon, I don't even think that was a crime back then

so why not do what the Greatest Generation and their belt-wielding parents did-- Improvise, Adapt, Overcome, Mutate yourself in a survivor American

Survivor Americans are gungho killing machines that just want a nice lawn and some pot roast and some goddam quiet, and face it isnt that what we all want in the end

there si one thing that America still does better than any other people on earth, it is in us, we eat and breathe it, and poop it, its who we are, its what we do

we're assholes

and in the age of unthinking electronic buy now pay later, being a asshole can pay enormous dividends

instead of protesting why not learn Russian or Chinese or German and export this wonderful ability to other countries.

Say theres a Russian who's a bit better off than his neighbors, he has a credit card and buys stuff online.  One night at dinner his phone rings, and some American with a horrible accent pretends to be his friend trying help him out with payment options.  He shouts at them for invading his   personal home space like a nekulturny wage slave.  20 mins later a different American calls back.  keeps up for 2 hours.  Now he has a problem, American assholes know where his family is.  To an American, this aint so awful because an American will be an asshole right back.  But this Russian or Chinese or Balt or Turk, he's gonna smell a conspiracy and he's going to go down in person somewhere and try to fix it.  THis is a service that the top 1% of Russians or Turks or Arabs or Chinese would love to have, I mean what's it cost to pay some American to work in a call center? And how much do they collect?

other countries dont do that. I had a Kenyan roommate in Minneapolis and I'd come home and there were 4 guys with him cooking kenyan chicken and cornmeal and they just met that day playing soccer, I was like (internal monologue)' how can you bring 4 people home the day you met them, we don't know they're not assholes'. But they weren't, they were cool.  so i learned the difference between Americans and all other peoples who have not been burnt by advertising and collections since age 7 ( like how another time I learned European socialsim is genetic cause they invented rent credit swaps to avoid destrying each other playing monopoly)

But it will never happen because we'd rather stand in a street bangng a drum and shouting than learn another language.  I mean, I read somewhere that if you don't learn by age 3 then your brain eats the language cells or something, right? Shit we should make people learn a second language as part of probation. "Sorry Malloy, you're clean and you got a job, aut ne parle-vous francais so you still are a con".  Nah, the ACLU would stand in the street banging a drum and shouting over that one.
