I feel similarly about watching Johan Santana in the mid 00's. His starts were class-skip-worthy offenses, and the feeling of the lineup and the whole team was just different when he was up there. I wanted so badly for him to overcome the shoulder injuries that started plaguing him even back in 2002/3. There were…

Corresponding shower thought: the only things in the world that have value are mentioned in the US tax code.

That is an absolute possibility. This move will draw a lot of negative attention to ISPs. They will be scrutinized like never before.

Not just “Internet” but “wired Broadband Internet” should be a basic right. That’s what we’ve recently legislated over here in Canada.

Plus the mindfuck panic that might ensue if the public understood that they can print their worries away literally and receive free stuff from countries like China for printed paper. Because that would be too much like Zimbabwe and Germany, right Hillary?

Absolutely. I’ll even raise you one… I don’t think we spend enough time reflecting on the fact that we really don’t know what “we” means.

RL Stephens is the real deal, just an amazing speaker and brilliant observer. He’s been on a bunch of lefty podcasts lately, always a joy to listen to.

lmao.

The whole line about picking up 2 white suburban republicans for every vote they lose chilled me to the bone.

The history of the Left in the USA is consistent failure after consistent failure, massacre after massacre, and then eventually we win a small battle like the 8 hour work day or the minimum wage or the right to collectively bargain. THAT’S why we identify with AnCap Hinkie’s weirdo plan. We know that there is no…

“Is it really a banger if it was scored with Joe Hart in net?”

Moreover, private property is, itself, a creation of government. Without the laws and institutions of civil society that codify and protect private property all you have is “the…

I find it odd that they left his hands at their actual size in all these edits

And yet, tomorrow morning, the Bootstrap Trolls shall invade...

I have no mouth and I must puke.

Exactly. And, in fact, the continuing decline in birth rates is a reality in several countries across the globe, and a major problem in super economy Japan right now. Countries need an expanding labor force to drive economic growth in the economy. When you have more people dying than being born, and a rapidly aging…

They are trying to suggest it’s equity and not debt. In theory, it might not be a bad source of funds—especially if it allowed you to qualify for a lower LTV rate on your mortgage.

I live in Roanoke and work in Blacksburg, can confirm.

Too soon

And that right there is the problem. It’s not the minimum wage. It’s not offshoring of jobs.
