Things should work. Politics, policy, technology.
I am an extreme moderate, so don't get mad.
Try not to lose yourself in the abstraction layer.

@ChrisMartzWX In reality, whether a tax is good or not should be determined by its economic impact. Taxes that grow the economy are good, taxes that shrink it are bad. https://t.co/MVXfsSmckc

Taxes best to worst:

1) Land Value Tax (Best)
2) Excise Tax
3) Sales Tax
4) Property Tax
5) Income Tax
6) Payroll Tax
7) Corporate Tax
8) Estate/Gift Tax
9) Wealth Tax
10) Tariffs (Worst)

@SubjectZeros @tierniestaa @rabiesunchained Did you come up with that all on your own?

[Bob The Potato @bestpotatobob]

@ingelramdecoucy Most of these reviews are accurate. There really is nothing exceptional about Star Wars beyond the special effects (which were amazing at the time, and still hold up today). It was part of a broader trend of escapism which is in full swing today.

@tierniestaa @SubjectZeros @rabiesunchained I think the problem is that you genuinely want to soldier to kill the kid.

[Bob The Potato @bestpotatobob]

@tgmasuka @rabiesunchained Probably.

@rabiesunchained In America it is considered child abuse to encourage your children to harass enemy soldiers.

@hasanthehun That doesn’t make any sense. Communism gives you less control over your labor, not more.

[Bob The Potato @bestpotatobob]

@Aella_Girl Probably a good idea.

@wil_da_beast630 Isn’t it pretty obvious that the Chinese orchestrated his ouster? I mean, he had an affair with a Chinese spy.

They must be pretty confident the license for this launch will be granted today or tomorrow if they are have already stacked it.

Of course, any gang members will end up dead or in prison either way, if he does what he did in El Salvador.

Nan kad akò bilateral ki genyen ant gouvènman Ayiti ak gouvènman Salvadò a, yon operasyon konjwen ki te reyini Polis Nasyonal Dayiti, Fòs Lame Dayiti (FAd’H), Task Force la, ak Fòs Espesyal Salvadò yo reyisi pran kontwòl Estad Sylvio Cator a epi mete l an sekirite. Pandan operasyon an, nou te dekouvri plizyè zo tèt moun anndan estad la.

Kounye a, nou pral tabli yon baz operasyonèl nan estad la pou n ka kontinye avanse pi fon nan teritwa gang yo kontwole.

Kounye a, se nou ki gen avantaj sou teren an.

Mwen mande tout manm gang yo avèk anpil fèmte pou yo kite zòn nan anvan ofansiv la kòmanse.

Moun ki chwazi rete pou konbat fòs nou yo ap oblije sibi konsekans yo.

[Armand Domalewski @ArmandDoma]

the idea that we should permanently keep it hard to build ANYTHING in America because it’ll allow us to randomly delay a handful of detention facilities is so absurd and speaks volumes about how unserious the American environmentalist movement has become

@xwanyex "They will ... say out loud, they should build apartments there instead"

I get what you are saying, but I have literally never once heard them make that specific suggestion for some reason.

[wanye @xwanyex]

One of the most revealing things people say when they hear about a new development is that, “they should build [some other thing] instead.”

What they? There’s no they! There’s only the private owner of the lot. If Walgreens owns the lot, then Walgreens is going to build a Walgreens. If a gas station company owns a lot, which they purchased to build a gas station, then they’re going to build a gas station. You can’t see the gas station going up and say, “you know what we really need there is a pool supply store.”

What in the world are you talking about?

People are natural central planners.

You have to take away their right to influence these kinds of decisions at all. You have to create the legal conditions under which they are not allowed to affect these decisions. Because if you let regular people weigh in, they will reveal that they have an insane theory of how the world should work.

They will see a Walgreens going up on a private lot owned by Walgreens and say out loud, “they should build apartments there instead” like scheming little Soviets.
