how does that differ from watt hours?

That isn’t how socialism works. Socialism means that the workers control the means of production. It typically also means that necessary services such as healthcare are not run for corporate profit. Such government also typically give assistance to people who need it, rather than acting as if human life is worthless if it isn’t making capitalist profits for the owner class. In your case, if you were refusing to get education, employment, and contribute to society for whatever reason, that could be seen as some sort of psychological issue and most likely you would receive counseling. If you’re unable to work due to that, you may have assisted housing and a small stipend. But do you get like, a car? Luxury food? Vacations? No, because there is not a situation under socialism where “everything is free”. The bare necessities of life are supplied by the government, because that is, for one, smarter and more efficient than the American system where we do things like let preventable health conditions fester for years while people suffer and become untreatable rather than just giving them preventative care in the first place, which would save the entire society tons of money and increase overall productivity.

It sounds to me like a troll sort of thing, like how conservatives in the US frequently say that liberals and leftists “just want everything for free“.

Is this a real question? What socialist economy do you live in where “everything is free“?

The relationship between amps, volts and watts is pretty simple. I never really hear about amp hours, though? Primarily watt hours.

Far preferable to plain bread without cheese.

I think part of the theory is that people get polarized by spending time in communities that reinforce their beliefs without challenging them or exposing them to other ideas, and that leads to polarization, division and disputes when different sides interact.

Like, being self aware? Yes, that happens to me sometimes.

Apparently OP is "all white people are bad! the people who are on our side and those who are not! silence!!"

 

It was alright. I wore my special boots today because I thought I had to go to court, but I didn't. So I came home and walked to the liquor store. I bought a fifth of Svedka in a plastic bottle and have been drinking it with club soda.
