So true. F.A. Hayek made this point. That Communism is the best family structure. And this led people to assume it could be extended to a Nation as if a Nation could ever be one happy family with a dictator father figure in charge. The fatal flaw is it doesn’t work beyond the immediate family level. So it’s both the best and the worst system depending on the level.
@BenSearsMSYS@walterkirn Exactly. Email has ruined my life. Now every company can email me for free. No postage cost to send me a letter. So it’s endless. And always from a no reply address so I can’t write them back to ask questions. For that, I have to chat with an AI or call a call center in India.
@OwenBenjamin So they got a patsy who looks like Napoleon Dynamite. Of course he was there all guilty-looking. That's what a patsy is. I just don't get how anyone can be so sure he actually was the one. I'm not saying otherwise. I have no idea, but the official [non]story is comic.
@Jose_da_Couves@MaryBowdenMD@unbridledmd I think I can answer this. We in the U.S. are not free. We are highly regulated. A doctor is often not allowed to order tests or drugs for themselves or a family member. They have to go to an unrelated doctor.
@FmrRepMTG They will never take Social Security away directly. But they will continue to erode it through various shell games involving taxation of benefits and Medicaid premium increases.
@WallStreetMav Absolutely. I would never donate to a charity. Only to actual human beings. But it’s the governments ruinous tax schemes that distort capital allocations to these wasteful charities.
@DisaffectedPod I love the idea of using historical names. I’ve always liked the Greek mythology names like Penelope, Cassandra and Persephone. But too long. But there is Helen (of Troy). Pandora? No. She was a kind of villain.
@MattWallace888 I’m no fan of her politics but the first time I saw her sing when she was like a teen, I could see the talent. And I hear she really works hard on stage. So now she wants her dream wedding. I hope it went well.
@OwenBenjamin The world was more fun when each country and their teams had their own people/ethnicity. Fun to see Italians on one team & Nigerians on another. And it’s natural to like your own team. It’s genetic.
@ImBreckWorsham What’s sad is they’ve taken all the tax money plus borrowed another $49 trillion. And it’s never enough & never will be. The parasites are killing the hosts.
@OwenBenjamin They were enslaved by warring Black tribes, then sold to the Arabs who then brought them to Brazil, Caribbean & Southern colonies. All of that before 1776. The slave states should have been excluded from the Union. That’s what they wanted anyway by 1860! Fought a war to leave.
@ImBreckWorsham I wasn’t happy with my countrymen during Covid. It makes me wonder what true Patriotism is. I love only the geographic home of my ancestors and the principles of liberty. May liberty prevail! Happy 4th.
@LibertarianMama It’s immigration. From age 16-18 (early 1970s) I passed out flyers for window washing & yard work, then a car wash filling station, then dishwasher & busboy. Now go check out yard workers, car washes & restaurant help and tell me what you see & it’s not local high schoolers.
@AngelaBelcamino Totally. Celebrate being yourself. You are in a cult of one that answers only to you, God, and the Constitution. And PS: get on that baby fever. We need more of you.
