“If a person exists who literally cannot be a part of society, then they would need to be separated, sure, but punishment doesn’t need to be part of the equation. Prison shouldn’t be a punishment.”

While we definitely aren’t great at prison, I’d argue that the multiple time murderer is in the category of only punishment given that the person will never be released into society again. We should really work better on people with chances of parole, but it is ludicrous to waste resources on rehabilitating people who…

If you and I are married and hold a joint account, that money legally belongs to both of us by nature of the joint account. If I die with debt, creditors can go after my assets. Joint accounts count as my assets because we both have rights to the money in the joint 

I understand how it works. I just think it is silly. If we don’t have comparative advantage in food production, we shouldn’t be producing it beyond levels that aren’t a matter of national security. 

That would be good, but you’d have to give the removal of deductions around mortgage interest a grandfathered or long run implementation because I’m under the impression some people factor this into their budget. 

Which is why I’d love to see the real prices of various energy sources. 

While the sunny weather in Nevada and federal tax credits certainly play a role, it’s also part of a clear trend of solar power becoming cost-competitive with and even starting to beat fossil fuels.

A lot of 1%ers buying $300 20 year old mazdas to go autocross?

I think it would be an interesting choice for re-hydrating beans for baked beans. 

Nope. If they have shared holdings, outside the account they racked up the debt on (ie a bank account with both of their names), then the spouse is also responsible because that money theoretically belongs to both people and dead person owes. If they don’t have a joint account, Paypal would get it out of the estate if…

In the sense that he is deeply connected to a the failing side of a (language) war, yes. In the sense that he is wrong and bad for that connection, no.

Glad I could help.

That’s the basically the same tweet she retracted. Was she not the original reporter on it? It seems like this is a retread of her original tweet.

Outside of family court, I’d imagine famous people probably have a higher rate of false accusations. That being said, I don’t have any idea if it is a substantial difference or small difference.

If this is based on the Leigh Ann Caldwell tweet, she has already retracted it. 

I’m talking about the guys who actually know about diving, not the governor who is the government lead, but zero percent familiar with cave diving. If there was no interest, they wouldn’t even have corresponded. I realize you just hate Musk because you are a socialist or marxist (if I remember our interactions…

He was literally corresponding with the co-lead of the rescue for design details. Check twitter, he posted the receipts. It would be a redundancy option if the kids couldn’t do the dive. 

I was generally agreeing with you and addressing the silliness of Adam’s point.
