Free! Socialism is great until you run out of other people's money to print books with!

Free propaganda

no such thing as a free atlas shrugged

Can't even give this slop away lol

i listened to that book on my 1-2 hour daily commutes to and from work back when I was 21. I liked it to some degree but there was always something that bothered me about how it was so neatly wrapped up in business people good everyone else lazy bad. At that time I was just a run of the mill lib who never put much thought into any politics aside from "sorry I'm from Texas and I didn't vote for Bush" comments and things like that I would post on Digg.

I do remember a straight-a student I went to high school with, who was never a friend of mine, somehow reached out to me on Facebook or whatever and asked if I'd ever read that book. It was bizarrely coincidental because I just had. The two of us never talked in high school and we never talked again after he went on raving about the book, which kinda soured my opinion of it to be honest.

it's wild to look back at that time.
