Jesus. I thought we had agreed “bankruptcy” was a ridiculous concern for the US federal government because it is literally impossible. And of course you can “print your way out of bankruptcy”. Since bankruptcy means not having enough paper to give paper back to all the people you borrowed paper from in the past, being…

None of the countries you mention have any meaningful similarities to the US in 2020. The USD is a currency with qualities that make it completely different to the Peso or Ruble or any modern currency other than maybe the Euro, Pound, or maybe the Yuan in the future. Our position in the world economy creates demand…

Sorry, I am very lucky that I can work from home. So I didn’t see your reply until now.

you are creating a financial burden that could literally bankrupt this country.

Every problem you identified can be ameliorated or completely avoided with government policy. The fact that the gop (and a lot of Dems to be honest) refuse to implement those policies for ideological reasons doesn’t mean the policies don’t exist.

“The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.”

Of course they take the houses from the construction worker. The landlord can’t have the house without the person who physically built it. In a world without property laws enforced by state violence the construction worker can build a house and live in it. The landlord can’t do shit because they don’t know how to…

And who can forget Biden’s spectacular bipartisan legislative achievements like the Bankruptcy “Abuse” and Consumer “Protection” act of 2005? Who cares that the disgustingly named bill made private student loan debt non-dischargable in bankruptcy or stripped individuals’ protections when filing for bankruptcy (while…

God, you must be just an incandescent ball of white hot rage right now. Please make sure you're in a safe, peaceful space tonight. Severe blood pressure spikes can cause serious health problems. I'm worried about you. 

I’m a plaintiff side employment lawyer who has litigated sexual harassment cases. The definition of a “hostile work environment” includes the same “severe or pervasive” language.

I don’t get all the outrage about Hill resigning while males in similar positions who do the same or worse do not. Hill made the choice to resign. She could have tried to ride it out, and probably could have succeed. The news cycle can be measured in microseconds. I didn’t see any enormous wave of outrage push her out…

Of course we desire “free shit”. It’s called “society”. Or do only rich people deserve “free shit” like property rights, government created intangible property like IP, the rule of law, dispute resolution services, public physical infrastructure, trans-national infrastructure, etc.? It’s so weird how some services are…

What mechanism do you think can control costs without being dependent on “government control”? Is there any existing system you can point to as an example for how the US should structure the way health care is distributed?

Because they are different people with different policy platforms. Warren isn’t depending on white women voting for her simply because she is also a white woman.

Yang’s proposal is just an attempt to placate the “losers” of increased automation without actually impacting the “winners” by redistributing their gains. A VAT style tax is regressive and taxing consumption does nothing to fight the real problem which is the concentration of capital ownership among a small group of…

And they’re only just now all of a sudden saying it’s “supposed” to be a “side-hustle”, when their backs are up against it. They weren’t talking about “side-hustle” when they were telling stories of how “partnering” with them was a great opportunity because some drivers were making $80k a year (based like 50+ hour…

We just need to hear what Henry Kissinger has to say. Then this matter should be consider closed.

I wasn’t aware we were experiencing outrageous hyper-inflation due to “massive infusions of cash”. In fact, the last I looked, inflation had been so low for so long that it’s a problem.

It’s so gross. And then you get these people with the bare minimum of knowledge and $ signs dancing in front of their eyes taking out hard money loans to buy overpriced “investments” they won’t be able to make any money on. I’ve heard from a lawyer friend of mine who does real estate related work that some of the…

You get that something can be racist even if the person doing the thing doesn’t intend to be racist, right? Doing something racist means someone is being racist even if the person doesn’t have any conscious feelings of hatred or animosity toward the group toward which their action is racist.
