Political Comfort Zones

2017-02-27

You can tell when people are approaching the end of their run when they try to step out of their comfort zone and go on about things they're really not qualified to cover adequately.

Stephen Hawking is going off on a rant that the election of Donald Trump and Brexit are causing us to "insulate ourself in nationalism" going on to write in a letter published in The Guardian that the backlash of these "recent divisive votes" is growing inequality across the world.

Now then, while Dr Hawking and Bernie Sanders would love to have this socialist Utopia where nations exist as fountains of cash for the underperformers of society the entire notion that summarily this is a step toward inequality is simply ignoratio elenchi in the presence of those who both have and achieve their goals through diligence and perseverence.

I would suggest that Dr Hawking donate the entirety of his fundage to the poor downtrodden individuals of his choice. I'd suggest that for Mr Sanders as well but he has no fundage relying on scavaging entitlements and being a parasite on the taxpayer whose funds he wishes to dole out as he sees fit.
