Eh, UBI and a carbon tax aren’t shallow “disruptive” ideas. And what’s this ideological historical stuff that has the real answers? Biden? Does he look like a man with a plan to you? I like Bernie and Warren, but I don’t think their plans are smarter and more realistic than Yang’s. I mean seriously, are you holding…

I don't know, honestly.  Sanders is a much better politician than they are and has a long and consistent track record.  He has a tough hill to climb to win the primary, but who else will?  Maybe Biden will keep channeling his Trumpian shield of Malarkey, and maybe Warren will pull through and win it, but as I see it…

Eh, Bernie hasn't lost yet.  Betting markets have Biden in first at 30% and Sanders in second place at 20%.  Those aren't great odds, but they aren't throw in the towel it's over odds.  

Ya, we were just talking about an old dude who still used real candles on the tree in the house, and how crazy/brave it was

How the hell do defense attorneys come before victims compensation? What do those negotiations look like? “Now is when I, as your friend and lawyer, have to ask, how much money you would like to give me, and how much you want to give to your enemies....". His enablers are lucky they aren't getting whacked too!  Or it…

Uber knows who was in what car when.

Who to my understanding have been paid 1.5 billion to administer 25 million in debt relief for students. One percent of 1.5 billion is 15 million, so it costs the government about $50 to give an endebted student $1 in relief. Of course academia gets its shot at that dollar before the student sees even that much value.

I think because while they are privately owned the government guarantees the loans. Like if I had a bar and my Dad guaranteed my lending, so I could lend money to my friends at the bar, they give the money right back to me, then if they didn’t pay me back I could get the money from him, then still chase my customers…

Although to be fair, our economy grew much faster and was much more equal under the old banks could fail and you get nothing system than the current managed service economy we have now. If we kept the old system U.S. median income would be what twice, eight times what it is now? It’s hard to calculate the opportunity…

But if they weren't getting donations people would have to pay tax on the money!  Didn't someone calculate the tax opportunity cost at like 250k a kid a year?

Although politicians can spend money like rock stars, 15 million sounds like a lot of money until you have a lifestyle that involves traveling teams of experts.  It's still a good chunk of change, but as Chris Rock? said about cocaine, there is no pile of money so big you and your cronies can't snort it.

I've always wondered if a stretching regimen would help women lose their virginity or give birth.  It seems like it would, but I'm not trusting Mormon science particularly.

Yeah, my town has one theatre screen and they force it to only play one movie on the screen at a time, and to hold it for weeks.  It's like they want one screen theatres to die.  And small towns, while I am complaining.

It might include other taxes, like payroll or cigarette and gas.

In general the US has marginal income taxation, so you only have to pay the higher rate for income exceeding the lower rate.

Her sexiness is too blatant.  Maybe if she wore a burka I could get into it.

I see this, and I wish you well. It’s sort of ok to be not ok sometimes. I’ve been homeless and alone and alcoholic, and now I’m milling around the south of France eating tasty things, life can take strange paths. Try not to spiral down though, clawing your way back up isn't impossible, but it's tedious.

They aren't banning spinach though, they just get rid of bad batches.  Which is wholly appropriate.

I mean, since when was ideal the legal standard?  Eating fried food isn't ideal, or too much meat or being overweight.  Watching stupid TV isn't ideal either but it should be legal.

Carbon taxes link actions to the result of having more money in your pocket, and the tax revenue can be used to fund tax cuts, or a UBI, or other programs.
