@alluringmedia I understand and admire his loyalty to his father, but what’s your relation? Since when is it wrong for opinion media to criticize politicians?

@EllenburgSam @DerekPederson3 There you go, perfect way to conclude the lesson. 🤣

[Greg Benage @GregBenage]

@EllenburgSam @DerekPederson3 It proves that a lot of pro-choice people understand the moral reasoning of the pro-life side, because *they actually share it* in at least some circumstances. Asymmetrical theory of mind, yet again.

[Greg Benage @GregBenage]

@EllenburgSam @DerekPederson3 The “very same thing” can’t be said. Pew found that 48% of U.S. adults believed that abortion is morally wrong in at least some circumstances but should still be legal. A majority of Americans can distinguish their personal moral judgment from their legal and policy position.

@coolfunghost It kind of is the main point.

@emilykmay Doesn’t she say “no” and “don’t” in that scene?

@oaknashnthorn @CrimCartier Because to the north was a border region between the Saxons and Britons, and these border people (Mierce) got their own place name, Mercia. In case that wasn’t a rhetorical question. 😉

@adropboxspace @DerekPederson3 I think you’re overrating the electorate. Who’s more ready and willing to kick ass? Who’s more concerned about how much money the government spends?

[Greg Benage @GregBenage]

@DerekPederson3 I don’t think they can actually ratfuck in partisan primaries unless extremists are a majority of the primary electorate, but then that doesn’t seem like ratfucking. In jungle primaries, they can run multiple candidates on the ticket to peel off votes and lock out the party.

[Greg Benage @GregBenage]

@DerekPederson3 And/or they’re a way for extremists to ratfuck the party establishment.

@EllenFWalker It’s clear you didn’t grow up on a farm in the middle of nowhere.

@SCOTUSPOTUS @chrisms150 @TetraspaceWest I feel like a lot of people think these are regulations that are being scrapped for SpaceX. They’re not. They’re rules the indices adopt to more effectively index the market. The size of these megacaps means the rules won’t be doing their job. 2/2

[Greg Benage @GregBenage]

@SCOTUSPOTUS @chrisms150 @TetraspaceWest They aren’t “consumer protection rules”! They’re rules the index providers have set *for themselves* to tell investors, “We’re a credible index that consistently models the market.” That’s why the megacap IPOs are a dilemma for them. 1/2

[Greg Benage @GregBenage]

@SCOTUSPOTUS @chrisms150 @TetraspaceWest It would be bad for the index providers, because their indexes would no longer be indexing the market.

[Greg Benage @GregBenage]

@jblair247 @AssetTraveller The public float is estimated at $45 to $100 billion (3-5%), meaning the indexes would need to buy ~$11-24 billion. I think megacap IPOs are a systemic risk, but we’re at the outrage stage where people just say anything.
