Look at you with access to natural light at work.

Yeah, I share much of that view as well, but I end up thinking that a skilled orator with the right bully pulpit will have a better chance of pulling the country in their direction.

What put Warren over Sanders for you?

Trusting Kudlow to stop a recession? No. But the idea that fears of a recession are overblown isn’t exclusive to the administration, with Yellen, for instance, providing similar rhetoric on the strength of the economy, minus credit to Trump of course.

So what you’re saying is if we wait a bit there’ll be a buying opportunity?

Financial speculation combined with a hobby they’re passionate about.

With cars it’s a rarity issue. With certain extremely rare cars you can replace major components without losing value because they’re effectively unique, and in that context you aren’t buying off the shelf parts you’re machining new ones or raiding long forgotten spare parts storage. But for that you’re basically…

Will this even affect him? Listened to two NPR stations today and they were hyping that he said Trump encourages white supremacists in two separate speeches, and how it’s so noteworthy that prominent Democrats are criticizing white supremacy.

No Banting, no MacLeod, no Best, no Collip, no insulin for a number of years. Decades though?

I keep telling everyone, the Pyramids are landing pads. Landing pads!

This will sound pedantic, but Banting didn’t invent insulin, he along with others discovered the hormone and its effect on the body, and came up with a process for extracting animal insulin from dog, cow, and pig pancreases.

How much of this anxiety is affected by media coverage of the events? I remember a financial news source from about a year ago calculating the chance of dying in a mass shooting and it was lower than the chance of dying from a police officer.

Yeah, I don’t know. There are one or two studies that associate the rise in mass shootings with the expiration of the ban, but I’m not sure the link is that convincing. For one, you have the lower rate of mass shootings in the decade prior to the ban to deal with, for another there’s the fact that the ban was filled…

At this point I would settle for accomplishing what goes with popular sentiment, and I don’t even see that happening.

“Just be you as long as it doesn’t harm anyone.” is a nice sentiment, making lame jokes about how people identify themselves and then insisting they could identify as trees or stop signs as long as it doesn’t harm his rights and property is asshole behavior.

You’re overthinking it, it’s just the money. There’s money in podcasting and youtubing if you can find the right audience and patrons, and in the last four or five years the right-wing has been a reliable audience for anyone capable of stringing a half-coherent sentence and parroting talking points those people care…

Isn’t that the issue? Americans have come to terms with the cost and they’ve largely accepted it. Background checks get the most support from the public, some 80 to 90%, but many mass shooters purchased their guns legally. Restricting high capacity magazines gets around 65% support, and while having to reload will…

It’s worth actually parsing those two points.

I don’t buy the Obama as moral man naive in the ways of finance, immigration policy, and national defense led astray by his underlings bit, that just doesn’t cut it for a University of Chicago Law School con law professor with degrees from Columbia and Harvard.

But what 1% polling centrists will CNN have to call on to defend the healthcare free market from evil Sanders and Warren if those guys aren’t in the running?
