And in your mind, what does less regulation result in?

The problem is that if given the choice, people like you would pay NO taxes. You would always find something the government did that you didn’t like and use that as justification to not pay anything. The system doesn’t work when its voluntary because people who benefit the most from society (the people who use…

I doubt that would come to pass if the people with millions of dollars showed more concern for the quality of life of those who have less.

You literally say that the money in your 401k “doesn’t exist.” Why are you worried about it? You’re going to say “because I’m counting on selling at some point”,... but the ultra wealthy, unlike you and I, have the ability to get access to tax free cash without selling their stocks. So, their equity has very very real…

Because it would be very unpopular to do that with the people that it would actually affect.

Do you feel better now?

Things have changed that make the traditional thinking less applicable to reality, IMO. Mainly cars on last so much longer on average than they ever have before. If you’re going to drive a vehicle for at least 10 years, a 6+ year loan is much less of an issue. I think the last thing I saw was that the average age of…

That’s absolutely true... But being stabbed in the back is sometimes more painful.

Volvo is owned by private equity after being sold off by Ford. Fisker and Nikola were startups that weren’t publicly listed either.

And yet, look at how much effort you’ve put forth fighting to tell other people they shouldn’t be offended...

I think the bar handled it as well as they could,... Implying that the bar shouldn’t have done anything because “it was a joke” is the problem.

The idea that because the line doesn’t exist because it isn’t in the same place for everyone and therefore can’t be crossed is weak bullshit.

When it gets put up shortly after 6 cyclists get run over by someone who was harassing them, it sure as shit does imply that running over cyclists is funny.

Neither do you.

There is practically nothing IN Waller County. This was in the same metropolitan area. The people who were involved in the incident basically live and work in the same city as this bar.

Unless there’s another incident other than the one in Waller, no one died...

He literally describes TERFs, who do not accept trans women as women, and who he says view trans women like white people in black face, and then says quite clearly that he is “team TERF”.

He sort of lives in the midst of all that.

Dave once told me, when he started doing more deconstructed shows, that he realized he didn’t necessarily have to be funny to hold a crowd in his hand, he just had to be interesting.

THE MEDIA IS MAKING A BIG DEAL OUT OF THIS TO BRING ATTENTION AND REVENUE TO THEMSELVES,... SO PLEASE BRING ATTENTION AND REVENUE TO ME BY WATCHING MY SPECIAL... I really don’t need to see his special to critique his response to people criticizing his special and I don’t want to help make his content more valuable and…
