Communists in the Neighborhood!
In a previous article, Rural Neighborhood v Wilderness, I briefly described how a neighborhood could turn communistic. In summary: The busy-bodies of a community will try to force the rest of the neighborhood to pull resources, so everyone carries their dead weight.

Videogame Economics & The Deficit

Photo by Matthias Zomer on Pexels.com I’ve worked in several fields of law over the years[1] and learned many legal terms which haven’t aged well.
