Why build a gold mine on top of a subterranean vein of gold? Why open a fishery off the coast of Alaska? Why move to NYC to open a playhouse? 

That’s a problem of logistics rather than temperament. And these logistical hypotheticals are being used as a smokescreen for the wealthy and those who carry their water to hide behind. Pretending that the logistics are too difficult to figure out, or even worse that they may be too inaccurate to be effective, is a…

Why can’t I have all of the perks of American aristocracy without any of the responsibilities? All I want is to be rich, vapid and coddled but you’re all making me sit here and think about what went into my family putting me in this position and gosh darn it, that makes me uncomfortable!

Yeah, a lot of adult vegetarians who grew up eating American style meals which generally feature a meat main and veggie sides probably would miss it.

THERE IS SO MUCH MORE THAN SOME “LEGITIMATE” CRITICISM OF JERRY FUCKING’S REMY’S SHITTY PARENTING

There is a lot to unpack here and absolutely none of it is worth unpacking.

You’re right, there is a lot on that list that are corrections to previous moral failings of America.

Sort of a tangential rant but one thing I love about reading historical accounts (currently Livy’s the Rise of Rome), listening to podcasts like Mike Duncan’s or Patrick Whyman’s is the ability to gain a frame of reference and perspective on the foundation of America. One of my favorite things that Mike Duncan has…

So his big problem is “oh no! This will make every worker it affects’ lives better but won’t fix everything forever so let’s not do it!” Cool.
