Man Lives On His Own Private Island In Florida And Here's How His Life Looks

Troubling article. His family kicked him out? Why? What's the backstory, why even mention that if you're not going to fill in the details? And two tiny homes? Plus another two buildings, a bridge to the island etc. This is NOT downsizing. He has more floorspace than I do oh, and a fkn private island!!

And referring to themselves in the third person. Both of these made fun of in Seinfeld (George trying to give himself the nickname 'T-Bone', and some guy at their gym always referring to himself in the third person).

Woman Sheds Light On How Different The Political “Left” Is Between Germany And The US, Goes Viral With 384K Likes

LOL. They don't even know the difference between socialism and fascism. And they believe capitalism is a system that rewards hard work (um no, it rewards people who have capital to gamble on businesses -- that's why it is called "capitalism.") I had to delete Facebook and cut myself off from family and childhood friends -- the willful ignorance and denial was just too painful.

Animal lives in general are a plus for me, but cat owners/lovers earn bonus points

35 People Whose Illusions About The 'American Dream' Were Shattered

These people come to the US because the US broke their own country. Would I like to move to the US? No, thanks. Would I rather live in the US than Pinochet Chile, who was put in power by the US? Yes, please. If these people weren't more desperate than you could ever imagine, they'd not leave their homes and everything behind.

35 People Whose Illusions About The 'American Dream' Were Shattered

I came to the USA with my husband with less than 1000.00 in my pocket that I had saved over 2 years. I CONTINUED to save, worked, went to uni and paid off my loans as soon as I could. No money handouts. No family help. Now, I am nearing retirement and my 401K id being gutted by a zenile President and his insane policies. His VP is going to take over from him and take more of my money in taxes. No - I dont make 400,000, but I understand that all their plans will increase fuel costs, increase my healthcare insurance costs (which have quadrupled since Obamacare took care of insurance xompanies instead of the actual cost of healthcare!) And all the new increased taxes on business that will be passed on to us. Those of you who deny the enormous cost of these political actions by politicians who are all millionaires, you never had the dream ... you just want it handed to you. I am leaving and going back to a country I left. At least there I am not surrounded by a dumbed down population. Education is the opposite of what Democrats want you to have. Look at history. This country will be destroyed and the dumbing down of America will go on unabated.

I'm from post communist country, don't ever justify communism. Moderate socialism is good way to go. Wild capitalism is crap. But communism is hell..

You couldn’t pay me to move to the USA. It was my childhood dream to live there, but working there in the 90’s was a real eye-opener. The people are mostly amazing but the society is f****d.

Americans don't realize that the entire rest of the world sees the USA as an insane dystopia and watches it like a car crash that is constantly happening. Also, none of us get why you keep putting up with such a society.

Blame the capitalist manipulation of youth, they've spend the last hundred years convincing people that success is measured by the accumulation of goods (or replacing old goods with new goods unnecessarily). Naturally, 'leaders' who make their money through the sale of those goods would absolutely tell you that.
