Instead of having to select “M” or “F” under “sex,” people living in D.C. can now opt to have a simple “X.”

The VA is amazing. I can’t wait until everyone gets to suffer like I do. Please please, everyone vote for single payer and government run healthcare. I.... double.... dare..... you.

Fairly certain it’s to match the top of the shark’s mouth, which is also red.

Intent always matters.

I’m all for jumping all over bigoted whackos, but can we stop getting pissed off about stupid stuff like this? The guy made a dumb mistake and clearly was not trying to pretend to be a black person.

There are millions of hot young actresses in LA waiting for their chance to “be a star.” They will just be cast, become the next hot new things, and everyone will forget about Rodriquez, Gadot, Johassen, Lawrence, Ridley (the box office draw of some of those are already questionable).

It did survive her loss for the two movies we thought she was dead.

So “Street News”, but glossy?

Yeah, you simply raise the top marginal tax rates back to the same levels we had in the 1960's, you implement single payer health, and presto, we’re Switzerland on steroids.

What is the point of a UBI if not for necessities?

-The income is enough to keep a household above the poverty line.

Not really. Poor people spend all the money they have. If you are giving them more money, it isn’t neutral. Whereas a wealthy or middle class person may have saved said money, this money will go directly to goods and services.

That’s not really an important counterargument though. “Teach a man to fish” is, by design, a simple analogy. It assumes you aren’t going to stretch it to ridiculous proportions.

Thanks Mitch. My son is four and, based on your advice, I just gave him the keys to my CRV and sent him out on the highway. Can you give me any further advice for a driving four-year-old that I can text to him, both to keep him safe but also to accelerate the racing/learning process? Thanks.

As someone who leans right on fiscal issues, I wholeheartedly support Universal Basic Income. While it makes many conservatives freak out, I see it as an important way to simplify our benefits structure while leveling the playing field. Two important examples:

What I’ve always been curious about is once the safety net is gone and everyone gets UBI, what happens when some people inevitably spend irresponsibly and require assistance?

I’m no fan of conservative Christians, but to be fair, that’s not exactly what many of them say.

If they get so good that there is a risk it would reduce the need for safety nets, we are already winning.

See, that would require a level of self awareness and an awareness of what is and is not considered professional behavior.

So because white people were assholes in the past, you’re looking for revenge now, not equality?
