This is the one that haunts me. The 95.5 guy will likely blaze his own path and do something outside of a structure. The guy who pushed up 4 points between midterm and final looks like the biggest loser in the world at the midterm but is actually above average.
This is the death of society. The median citizen looted, buried, and shamed, because THEY DIDN'T LIE, while everything rots from the head as incompetent liars fill the upper ranks.
Society dies with Mister 59.
@VivekGRamaswamy This is the most ridiculous pander.
Common Economics: property taxes churn houses FROM older TO younger people in their prime earning years visa vi down sizing.
“But the curse of every ancient civilization was that its men in the end became unable to fight. Materialism, luxury, safety, even sometimes an almost modern sentimentality, weakened the fibre of each civilized race in turn; each became in the end a nation of pacifists, and then each was trodden under foot by some ruder people that had kept that virile fighting power the lack of which makes all other virtues useless and sometimes even harmful.”
-Teddy Roosevelt

Drove through Indiana this weekend & felt like I was in a third world. Are all small towns in the US dead? The U.S. letting China in the WTO kills ~75% of small towns...

2. Man is both the marble and the sculptor, is the most real quote
3. Action creates information, the best thing to do when you dont have clarity is move forward
