I don't know if it will be collective, maybe more of a trickling off. I've already moved out to east bay; my company's generous work from home policy helped a lot in this regard.
This is a naive perspective, but, imagine someone has 10 million dollars banked, and earns 175,000 a year in dividends. S/he pay 26-35k in taxes (15-20%, cause I don't know tax code). Now, a couple has a combined income of 175,000 a year. They pay 40k in combined federal + FICA (used an income tax calculator). I think that 5-14k discrepancy is where the blame for "not paying taxes" comes from.
The war to end all wars vs Iraq/Afghanistan. Not exactly the same causes, right? Fight Club was written in a pre-9/11 world, but also in the same post-modern society.
Wow I need to get my head in your space. I tend to view completion as the achievement, not progress. This leads to single victories amidst a million defeats. An attitude not conducive to happiness. I'll definitely make a large effort to celebrate/recognize the small victories. Separately, I am 14% through War and Peace, and still don't know who I am supposed to care about. Does that come later or have I missed something?
