I thought it was funny, and she has a sense of humor.  Maybe I am wrong but I bet she can tell agreeable jokes from mean trolling, which she clearly gets plenty of...

Better to shoot your was early than get cancelled though, they made bank for a long time.

Agreed, teaching people how to behave is what school should do.

Eh, some people pay taxes...  Loopholes are bad but if they are a constant than they shouldn't effect the decision of what to tax.

Streamline nuclear regulations if it is safe to do so, but nuclear power isn't price competitive with fossil fuels.  A carbon tax can help that, or make solar more competitive or whatever makes the most sense for each location and situation.  And if the carbon tax is balanced by getting rid of other taxes is it really…

It basically was allowed to secede until they started shooting at Fort Sumpter I thought.  Buchanans position was that their secession was illegal but it was also illegal to keep them by force iirc.

I don’t know, it would be hard to replace the feeling of security I get from my pack of emotional support bears. Sometimes children make fun of me, mocking my bald head, and I don’t know how I would handle it without my trusty bears to devour them. It is difficult herding them on airplanes though... Maybe a limit of…

We can develop the technology, but there isn't profit in it unless the government prices the pollution, tragically.

Bwahaha. Are Yale graduates so gullible because they are descended from the founding Mormons?

It seems like being bad at publishing should very much be punishable by losing your job at a publisher.  It is supposed to be a free country, no one should be forced to employ embarrassing idiots in jobs that interact with the public.

In fairness, heroine addictions are the best kind of addictions, I would imagine.  Heroin addictions, on the other hand...

If your rent is 50k a month it's difficult for me to say you have a mediocre salary if you include benefits, you are probably easily over a million dollars a year.  Which, like how many people make in sectors that aren't basically government graft at this point...

Well, that’s just the federal income tax though. Include payroll taxes, which surpassed the official income tax a while ago, and is capped for high wage people, and avoided entirely by investors like Bezos (other than whatever wage he received capped at like $100,000), and you have a much different story.  Add fines…

Thanks, that was hilarious.

Maybe they just give it to Ronan Farrow?  That's what I would do...  Maybe write for the inquistion on the check.

Isn't this kind of crap what RICO is for?

I think UBI is a better way to get poor people more money than minimum wages. Price controls are supposed to help people, but they have a long history of not working well in reality. Supply and demand for labor set wages in a way that isn’t helped that much by criminalizing working for low wages. Minimum wages favor…

I think this post is trying to show the exact degree that fixing economic inequality would have resulted in progress on racial inequality, which is substantial. Sacrificing that gain to intentionally not help poor white people has real costs, even though helping poor white people does make racial inequality worse. I’m…

The North fought in self defense, but it was attacked because it wanted to abolish slavery.

To my understanding it sounds like Grimes told Azealia she wanted to do something together, so Azealia went to Musk's house and hung around by herself for a week, got increasingly irate and then left.  It's unclear to me how solid the plans were, so who is in the wrong is difficult to say, it could be Azealia showed…
