This playlist is amazeballz.

waiting for the Glenn Greenwald hot take that this is the deep state.

Old guy doesn’t know how Twitter works, News at 11.

more likely he doesn’t know how an @ mention works

yeah except the gap between “minimum” wage and “livable” wage is currently very large. You can raise a workers salary 25 cents and they are magically no longer minimum wage workers. In 2015 3 million workers were making their state minimum wages, at the same time 15 million workers were making less than $10 an hour.…

because they were already released by discovery in the email investigation? why release the information twice?

Cities wont rush to dump millions, Uber will. If their revenue potential is more than the cost of install (plus you can depreciate that asset and get a tax benefit) you can bet that private industry will install them, just like there are utility poles all over not installed by cities. 

Sure, but when someone says “half my paycheck goest to taxes” its actually not crazy, the number is a whole lot higher than whatever your income tax rate is, and I think that gets lost because people just focus on the federal income tax.

Yes, how possibly could the richest nation on earth afford to do something on a bigger scale? The gdp per capita in the US is $56k, in canada its $45k, in the UK is $41k. What exactly is the circumstance that doesn’t allow us to live like the UK? We have 25% more money per person.

you want to lower the deficit by sepending more than we earn? How does this make sense?

could you have a republic that isn’t democratically elected? The answer is yes, so they aren’t synonyms. 

Uh, no it isn’t. A country with a democratically elected government is a democracy. A republic is built on the foundation of laws. Technically the US is a democratic republic. We democratically elect people to create laws and run the country based on those laws.

Thats only in income tax, you have state income tax, SSI/DI, property taxes, sales taxes, gas taxes. At the end of the day, there is a good chance this guy pays 50% of his income in taxes, just not all to the same place. It really isn’t a stretch to close that last 17%.

The state has electoral votes, the individual voter does not. Like I said, a person that voted for Hillary in Wyoming has no “value”, because the electoral votes are going to another candidate. You can’t assign an electoral value to an individual voter.

Its not. If I lived in Wyoming and voted for Hillary, my vote would be “worth” nothing. How is a vote worth nothing 5 times more valuable than a vote in California? This idea that singular votes have “value” is very odd. your vote and the person’s vote in Wyoming are the same.

yes, and a free turkey at thanksgiving

Yeah I agree with most of what you say, except the cheap and convenient part. Thats what is a non-starter, a cheap convenient ID would not ensure voter integrity any better than what is already in place.

It doesn’t matter what you are going for, the whole point of this is to have an ID that proves voter eligibility for the location. Even if you have legal ID you might not be eligible to vote there. Free and convenient is expensive for the tax payer, and not secure enough to actually prove voter elligibility. So why…

No, not every post office serves as a passport office. Some don’t do it at all, some require appointments, some won’t take photos. Congrats on living where its convenient, but its not true for everyone. Even at the post office a passport costs $110 plus execution fee and take s 4 to 6 weeks to process with out…

Actually it does, because I’m assuming AAA doesn’t vet their employees. They might not even drug test. Does AAA train people to spot discrepencies in documentation? What quality control does the state have over AAA employees? None? because its none. Just because AAA has their computer linked the state database doesn’t…
