Reacting to George Carlin - Balance the Budget

[@alexthorpe6583]

As he said about himself, ‘I’m a visionary, I’m ahead of my time. Trouble is, I’m only about an hour and a half ahead of my time.’

It's a comedy act. Not meant to be taken so literally. Love Carlin, comedy legend

[@peterismyfirstname2872]

​@@MaddyReactionsit's good to plan ahead, lol, for real though, amazing thought experiment how that society would organize itself, all the power dynamics clashing, conflicting interest, or in agreement cultivating consensus. That thought made me think about the founding fathers of the United States creating the Constitution of the United States and the Bill of Rights. they had to figure it all out ,a good plan would be what? a good blueprint , most of the leading figures were less than 30 years old

[@glenbejoe]

You can never go wrong with Carlin. Thanks for the reaction Maddy.

[@MaddyReactions]

No problem 😊

Escape From New York and Escape From Epsilon both had the theme of keeping criminals on inescapable islands.

George Carlin is a comedic philosopher. Lovely Maddy.

[@somesicilian5420]

interestingly Russia tried something akin to the Kansas farm on Nazino Island. they shuttled 6,700 prisoners onto and island without food or supplies and told them "make it work" so they ate each other

[@michaelsoper3610]

Yeah, they made it work. The state wasn't concerned with whether it worked for the prisoners.

"What if they escape?" I guess you missed the part about the 10 storey (100') high electric fence?

[@anthonyjackson3447]

the 10 story fence keeps them in and they shoot each other DONE

Carlin was such a good comedian. Making people think and laugh at the same time, and having a good way with words!

[@jalesbarjo4740]

to me it always looked like comedy was a side quest for him! he used it to express his thoughts and observations. "if you want to tell truth to people, make them laugh. otherwise, they will kill you" Oscar Wilde.

[@no1noone34]

@@jalesbarjo4740 Yes, agreed. In 1500's I bet he would've been the court jester, and this is what we get closest to them. Truth, jokes and no lies.

[@allendesalme197]

There is no guard - they are inside a ten-story electrified fence with weapons - they will kill one another - you are thinking of Mad Max Thunderdome - he is a comedian, let him have his ideas😂😂😉😉

[@pebblehilllane]

"What if they escape?" What if the 10 story (around 100 feet tall) electric fence isn't made of thin chain link and instead thick heavy metal that the firearms given to the prisoners cannot shoot through the metal of the fence to make a hole or holes and being electric it's not at all likely that someone would take a saw to it and fry themselves in the attempt to cut through? In other words ... IT'S FU@KING COMEDY - DON'T OVER THINK IT!

[@marvinsarracino116]

I luv George's view! Funny stuff! Thanks Maddy 😂😂

You should hear his rant on saving the planet 😂

My fav is the one on "Saving the planet".

[@Sephiroso.]

I'm pretty sure his whole bit was basically describing the birth of America. The British discarded all the worst of their citizens off to America, not exactly caring what happened to them until it was realized they were doing well for themselves with all the resources available.

[@cynthiaspencer2222]

Escape from NY! Inside the fence they do what they want. Approach the fence, and the guards outside unlive them.

[@cbdemented]

George Carlin. The man. The Myth. The Legend. 2nd comedian I ever listened to, at WAY too young of an age. My dad owned 4 comedy albums when I was a kid. "Greasy Kid Stuff" by Bill Cosby (the first thing I heard), "AM/FM" and "Class Clown" by George Carlin, and "Bicentennial N****r" by Richard Pryror. By the time I was 12 I had them memorized. As to spending alot of money...we spend $110B a year on the "war on drugs" and another $182B on incarcerating the 2.2M people we have in prison, over half of which are there for minor drug crimes (possession or simple sales). Pretty sure those funds alone could pay for all of these ideas ;)

[@MaddyReactions]

lol realistically how much of that funding is ACTUALLY spent to mitigate the usage and distribution of drugs and prisons are mostly private…so we as individuals should not be required to pay taxes for these establishments but somehow they still receive govt funding. But anywho lol Yes, if the budget was legitimately spent on doing the dang thing…it could work! 🤣

[@cbdemented]

@@MaddyReactions Almost none of it is spent on mitigation. Fighting a war against a concept is impossible. There's no end. Nobody to sign an armistice. But it is profitable. Almost nobody is more anti legalization than law enforcement. Except maybe politicians who don't want to admit they've been wrong for 100 years. Not only do they make a ton of extra budget money on confiscations, but it's easy to pad your arrest numbers with the low hanging fruit of drug users...especially marijuana. You literally can just drive into a neighborhood and use your nose to get an easy bust. And we've privatized a majority of prisons, which incentivizes convictions. The government guarantees a minimum number of beds occupied.

Even if these are just jokes I like that you can see these ideas happen. Although I think you’re overthinking and get lost in details. The main thing would be that those gates are strong enough so they can’t get out and that we have drones and cameras installed inside so it’s all filmed.
