I liked your tale. Secondhand anecdotes seem as trustworthy as cherrypicked clickbait to me.  Keep stories from trusted elders alive!  Not that the Flyers have to keep her music, but judging people from another time out of context seems like a tricky and often unrewarding game.  There is a lot of messed up stuff in US…

If you haven’t reached out either aren't you doing the same thing as he is? Unless he’s ignoring you in which case F that guy.

Isn't that what they are doing at the FED?

It is, but designing a system of government for non idiots kind of implies you get rid off all idiots so you don’t have to govern them. Unfortunately idiots have the faith and the numbers and enough guns to win that war pretty easily so...  Obviously debt increases income inequality, so you want a good bankruptcy…

Yeah, I believe that. That’s how you help poor people not be so poor, you give them money.  As poorness is a lack of money it helps.  It's inflationary if you print to do it but it's not that inflationary at in small amounts.  And we have a bunch of inflationary and deflationary policies going now, you just have to…

Minimum wages are kind of useless to start with.  They help some people, but those people would be better helped in other, cheaper ways.

I mean, obviously we could institute a UBI and help all people, but people have a weird minimum wage fixation. I think it’s because the cost of price controls is hard to visualize, while the benefits are clearly great for those helped. And since basically no one earns or pays minimum wage you get the whole NIMBY thing.

I wouldn't let Obama too far off the hook for the mess we are in, I like the guy, but he was elected to drain the swamp and bring change too.  And he also just handed a ton of cash and above the law cards to his friends.  His first two years he had both houses beyond the possibility of a fillibuster, and this…

Unless employers pay them I think.

Well, that would actually save thousands of lives vs our current system of finding someone who loves you enough to have major surgery for free and rich enough to take the time off work and hoping you are compatible or can work out some elaborate swap. Obviously setting donor compensation at $0 does help the health…

Er, I imagine that they are still allowing leather, so we can eat them and wear their skin but not if it has hair?

Well, because people believed her about destroying coal but not about creating decent jobs to replace coal jobs.  Coal should be discouraged, but rural America has been getting the short end of the stick for a long time.

An aneurysm I think

Well, there is a difference in that the school gets a pile of cash that they can spend on scholarships for the less fortunate or buildings for the students in addition to coke and hookers, if you are just bribing the underlings the upper echelon isn't getting their vig so presumably they won't have as much money to…

I'm not sure how applicable it is, but I think they somehow got limited to a certain percentage of their profits having to be spent on care.  I don't know how it is policed but in a cost plus payment system there is definitely motive to inflate costs in some situations.

I was all down on her and she didn’t respond very well in my opinion, but then I looked at her plan and I do actually think it is much better than the GND. She didn’t explain that very well and was kind of condescending, but she isn’t wrong, if you care about the issues her plan is much more solid and realistic.…

I don't know, that sounds like the opposite of disordered eating to me.  Anorexia dramatically lowers health and life expectancy, whereas to my knowledge calorie restriction and to my understanding daily intermittent fasting are about the only things known to dramatically increase mammalian life expectancy.  I guess…

Wouldn’t that pretty clearly give Trump another term? Range voting is the best fix IMO,but lacking a systematic fix Bernie running as an independent sounds like a terrible idea to me...

I think in most civilized countries the government pays, although employers pay taxes. I tend to be team UBI. Work, make money, don’t work, get less, but no one should be desperate (which is probably a risk even working at Family Dollar) and I don’t see a reason rich people should be paid more to spend time with their…

I think some people think all bass no treble is saying big girls > thin girls, but she is actually saying she has a big booty and no boobs.
