Here's FrodosPet crowing about their job,
WHICH INVOLVES ARRANGING THE OPPOSITE OF MASS TRANSIT:

19. I book transportation for a living
Mostly sedan and courier services.
Lady calls up and wants a ride to the airport. Easy sell, nice commision, give her a rate, get her pickup information.
Here is FrodosPet coveting excess, elaborate food for themselves, with no mention of others:

48. Can I have the crab meat used to stuff mushroom caps...
..with some cheese and bread crumbs and broiled? And perhaps the artichoke hearts on the side, with some cuke slices and grape tomatoes, and a cold Sam Adams Cherry Wheat?
Wow that would rock the world right now.
Here is FrodosPet with a grasp and respect for the notion of private property and its value:

UPS worker Trades Stolen $160,000 Diamond for $20 Bag of Weed
I've never been much of a jewelry fan, so I have some real problems understanding why a shiny little carbon rock is worth $160K. But if that is what someone is willing to pay, then that is what it is worth.
Here is FrodosPet doubting his ability to actually serve his fellow man at all:

15. I can't re-enlist
I'm a midwestern White/Native American guy with degenerative disc disease and probably diabetes who would be a combat liability, not an asset. So I don't think the FSA or Shia or Kurds are in any hurry for me to join up.
Here is FrodosPet eschewing public mass transit:

20. I don't ride subways, so I am ok
But I can see where people in London and Madrid might be taking it seriously.
Finally, here is FrodosPet, endorsing capitalism and eviscerating socialism:

59. Regulated free enterprise. Capitalism is not the problem - corrupt capitalists are.
Retention of a profit motive and distributed responsibility, with a crackdown on fraud and monopolies. Incentivize worker owned enterprises, get more people to have a stake and a reward in success. Taxed at a Goldilocks rate that provides for infrastructure maintenance and improvement and compassion for the infirmed and the elderly, but not so high that it removes incentive and resources for growth and rainy day survival. And more economic education and small business incubators in impoverished areas.
Socialism seems like another monopoly. Supposedly run "For The People", but only a small number of individuals will stand up and assume authority as representatives of the masses. And it would be backed by the governmental powers of confiscation and incarceration.
