Yes, it is terrible. Sometimes actions have consequences. Hurting other people for fun and profit isn’t exactly an argument for the free market.

It was always meantto become what it is, though. What you’re describing was nice, but it was actually a foot in the door for these crooks

That’s the exact opposite of what would happen. In actual, real life, stricter enforcement, including punishment of companies like AirBnB that facilitate these zoning violations, would be guaranteed to solve the problem completely. Their practices would be driven back into the criminal underground where they belong,…

So they’re doing what we should be? Sounds about right.

“progressive causes” =/= what’s happening here.

I do, in fact, have a problem with those groups. They’re to a one wildly ineffective and nonideological apparatchik orgs that drive more people away from the party than to it.

Because it’s unethical to use a political campaign for personal profit.

Investors routinely do this.

More like between the New Deal and Watergate?

We’re probably far gone enough as a society that we can get castrati back in the mix

Anti-intellectualism is unbecoming.

And when people criticize bin for that remember that THEY’RE PUTTING THEIR PARTY ABOVE PEOPLE’S LIVES in all caps?

When has Sanders ever said “all lives matter?”

... How? All the nouns and adjectives are cusses

People at war with them can suspect whatever they like, the OPCW, the Red Crescent, and the UN say it wasn’t nerve gas. I’ll take their word over that of a belligerent party for reasons I hope are obvious.

They voluntarily disarmed in 2013 under French and American supervision, and every time they’ve used gas since 2014 it’s “just” been chlorine. If you have a secret stockpile, it doesn’t make sense to opt for the low-test stuff when you’re going to get the same reaction from the great powers either way.

That seems unlikely to the point of ridiculous. For one, there will never be a shortage of lobbying and lawyerin’ jobs for a Deputy AG, especially one who’s worked in multiple administrations. Second, if he gets fired for this specifically, he’ll be going out as a martyr for the #resistance and be able to run for…

But... the billion dollar one-man new internet project is a real thing. Mencius Moldbug is writing it with Peter Thiel’s financing. It’s called Urbit and it’s way more pathetic than the SV parody.

Well, I also doubt Assad has nerve agents, but... kind of?
