@gabewildau@katrosenfield thankfully Gabriel you are definitely not jumping in for the engagement and to boost your own profile. It worked anyway! I had never heard of you before! appreciate your principles here.
@CaseyMattox_@politicalmath right. @politicalmath seemed out of character for you to come after this so strongly. Fine if you think @CaseyMattox_ needs to get more entrenched in "real world" battles but isn't it good that the correct argument is made by a 1A-focused (i think) constitutional lawyer?
I’m the CEO of a hot dog company. I’ve worked on hot dogs for 10 years. And *I* wasn’t prepared for what I’ve just seen. Your life is about to change.
So what can you do?
Buy as many hot dogs as you can. Buy stock in hot dog companies.
@AstorAaron yeah, i'm hoping for the best here but really can any of the three countries involved trust each other at all to honor whatever gets agreed to? i hope so, but...
Marty Makary used to ambush a Virginia courthouse every other Friday.
That was the day the local tax-exempt hospital reserved the docket to sue its poorest patients.
Marty would show up at the door with a lawyer and intercept them on the way in.
They were working-class people in job uniforms, embarrassed, grim-faced, expecting to lose.
He reviewed the bills on the spot, for free, as a medical expert. Pointing out fraud, upcoding, inappropriate care, contradictions to the court.
Then his counterpart, a young lawyer named Joey Kirchgessner, argued until the hospital cried uncle.
They won A LOT.
I drove down one Friday to watch. I was working in the Trump White House at the time. I was so proud of him I could barely stand it.
That's the man the WSJ op-ed page wants you to believe is the problem.

@AstorAaron is double-majoring still a thing? it could get a bit tricky (i did business + econ, so some overlap) but plenty of classmates did business + history or poli sci or psych... seemed like a great deal!
@katrosenfield also (darker), Bukowski: "Frankly, I was horrified by life, at what a man had to do simply in order to eat, sleep, and keep himself clothed. So I stayed in bed and drank. When you drank the world was still out there, but for the moment it didn't have you by the throat."
@Tyler_A_Harper@JacobAShell i love this dialogue but as a libertarian-leaning person i do not see many indications of an "ever more libertarian society" (to me that would be society grounded in peaceful trade and the non-aggression principal) at all :).
