There ARE other options. (Some assembly required)

Honestly, I finally get it.

Or driven a BIG horsepower car with a manual.

Er, didn’t Paul beat his wife?

Wow.

Yeah, but it was decided by EEVIL supreme court justices.

I was alive in the 60s and remember hard hats with stickers that said “America, Love It Or Leave It.”

True, but what I really want is for him to have partied with Epstein.

“In Mexico, the age of consent can be as low as 12.  Epstein’s only sin is that he loves America.”

When I was a right wing nutjob I made $160 an hour and lived in a McMansion.

No, it WAS about slavery. My argument with you is about using “THE SOUTH” as though it’s a monolith. Life doesn’t work that way. Hell, Trump is President and for two years he had a Republican House AND Senate, even though a numerical majority of voters in this country support none of these things.  Nuance is important.

Yup. I remember running when it was super hot out, and suddenly getting cold chills.

Today, for the first time in 2 years, I put the air conditioner on. Still going to ride the bike up through Saddle River to NY state, though.

Yes, Southern shot-callers supported slavery. Northern shot-callers wanted to preserve the Union. (Lincoln became anti-slavery when it became politically astute to do so) 55 percent of northern voters supported Lincoln - which means 45 percent didn’t. Suffrage in the south worked differently in than in the North, but…

OK, maybe “just as” is an overstatement. But “pretty fucking racist?” Here are some data points:

But it’s not just the Fed. It’s the ability of the US government to tax and govern in a way that supports the Fed. Imagine you’re China, and you own literally BILLIONS of US dollar denominated assets. Is “The UN will sort it out” going to make you comfortable?

If we weren’t just as racist, how do you explain the short lifetime of Radical Reconstruction and our tolerance of Jim Crow?

I’m old enough to remember when 911s were hand-crafted and built to old school Mercedes levels of quality and reliability.

The NSX also needed 90s era Honda build quality and reliability, like the original. So ... 75K?
