I'm interested to see that spending 17% of ones budget on 'leisure' seems to strike you as profligate or unnecessary. That sounds Puritanical and illiberal to me - if less than a fifth of income is spent on the enjoyment of leisure, for what does the individual bother to work so many hours?
Perhaps it is difficult for you to imagine what life is like for people in situations of which you have no experience and, let's face it, you have enjoyed growing up in a wealthy and privileged environment.
For many, their work is necessary but unfulfilling - they do it because they cannot otherwise put food on the table. You have never been obliged to experience that situation, having your family's financial suport to fall back on if needed. Your lack of empathy with those who have mental health problems is, presumably, based on the behaviour of those who claim public benefits citing a feigned unfitness for work through depression or other intangible ailments.
Do you feel similar anger at those receiving ridiculously generous salaries from the public purse despite achieving nothing or worse?
It's good to see that the student generation still prefers physical meetings to digital conferencing, regardless of the green-ness of such activities.
I take no issue with pensioners spending 17% of their income on leisure, but they can't claim they need benefits when they're cut, because, no one can be said to need 17% of their income spent on leisure. On the second paragraph - maybe. Yes - this attack is not on the truly disabled - see my reference to the guy who had his leg chopped off in a factory accident.
I dislike the generous salaries of public officials too, but everyone does as well, so, I don't focus on them. Plus, it doesn't cost the country £49bn. Also: Please do send your address via dm if you would like your paid subscription letter. Hope all is well with you.
All is as well as can be expected with me, thank you, and I hope it is with you too. I will gladly send you my address and look forward to hearing from you.
Curios that the speakers were more interesting in using public opinion and parliament to advance libertarian ideals rather than technology, given that the biggest advances for libertarian causes have been from technical advances in cryptography and p2p networks.
Sounds like it was a great discussion. I love everything that group is doing, but I wish I could get off their phone list lol. My partner needed me to sign up with them to get tickets to something 6 years ago and now I'm a 40-something year old on the student group's roster hehe. Keep up the great work though.

Steve Baker who gave the first talk did his mainly on cryptocurrency.
