i was in the military for 4 years, got out with my gi bill and will graduate with a major in philosophy.  so now i just got this new job at a retail store stocking shit.

so i guess i was curious as to how the dude would view economic philosophy?  capitalist? for higher taxes/lower taxes? socialist? a mix of public and private?

and how would he view our current economic downturn and working at a retail store?

My guess is The Dude wouldn't trouble himself too much getting into a lot of economic theorising. One thing I'm sure of is that he wouldn't judge the value of a person in terms of their (lack of) economic success.

When I graduated with a philosophy degree a jewish friend said "what are you gonna do now - open a philosophy shop?"

My personal view is that it's best to find a way to do what you love, no matter what, but no point resenting what you do in the mean-time whilst you pull that together.

As a colossal fucking fiction, I think. In any event the Dude of the movie was, at least at one time, a socialist.
I'm just gone, man, totally fucking gone.
