Yeah, most of my immediate family are liberals. I have a couple family members who are moderate conservatives (apparently that's still a thing) and they're relatively cool on Facebook. I have one family member who is diehard right wing, and they post some pretty appalling statuses themselves, but they also don't

I almost find the diehard left even worse. I mean, I kinda stopped caring about the far right, because they're beyond saving at this point, and it's not like their opinion of me really concerns me that much. With the puritanical part of the left, though, it's just incredibly exasperating.

Now it's just a matter of people actually voting.

It's hard to distinguish between whether or not Spicey has snapped or he's simply speaking on behalf of those who have.

What's important to remember is that Spicey wasn't in traffic, he was amongst the traffic.

Then call and ask him not to approve a replacement for Comey until either an Independent Commission or Special Prosecutor is set up. Not saying that he's opposed to that and needs to be convinced, but he's influential with the Democrat leadership and that's the level where that decision is going to be made.

Wait, is he actually going to do that? I can't tell if this is satire or not.

Yeah, I actually sorta like his new music. I have mixed feelings about that.

How could you have known?

I don't know off the top of my head, but the top margin is set somewhere around 20 million dollars in annual revenues. Small businesses are taxed at 15%, but apart from, pretty much every margin is taxed in the 25%-35% range.

Also, we're a developed economy, so it makes sense for us to have a high corporate tax rate. Like, even disregarding loopholes, there's no reason to lower our marginal corporate tax rate.

Oh my God. My entire life I thought that had to do with ironing clothes. Like, make sure you press the clothes immediately after heating the iron instead of sitting around and letting it go cool.

Out of sheer morbid curiosity, could you share a bit more about that experience?

It can be boiled down to two basic rules
1) Spend more and lower interest rates during recession
2) Run a budget surplus and raise interest rates during periods of growth

Depends on the type of tax. We actually have the highest marginal corporate tax rate in the OECD and the second highest in the world, but I'm 100% on board with that (Republican Party implodes in fury).

On behalf of the economic profession and associated social sciences, I refute the conflation of syntactical specialization with dialect drift, on the basis that economic theory represents a subset of the English language.

No, he meant the kind of country with brown people.

I think that Trump is constantly surrounded by the Breitbart crowd, who revel in a discourse based entirely on trolling. Like, they don't have to actually sway the opponent emotionally, but rather land a technical point. Sort of like claiming 'reverse racism' whenever something bad happens to white people. I

Well, everything in Trump's orbit runs a background risk of being pissed on by a Russian hooker.

There once was a man from Cambridge town,
Who wanted to keep interest down,
Though sometimes supply,
Of credit runs dry,
But surplus from growth keeps it sound.
