@Nickelodeon My favorite moment from this episode was when Aang says "Wow, I haven't cleaned my room in a hundred years." Such foreshadowing

@sidgwicked @KelseyTuoc @dylanmatt I thought of that too - it sounds like a prize system built on top of the existing patent system.

@how2saveaplanet @KendraWrites @ayanaeliza @abexlumberg oh there's also "Earth Song"

@how2saveaplanet @KendraWrites @ayanaeliza @abexlumberg There's a song literally called "Earth" -- you guys didn't talk about it! But hey, it's on the playlist. 😅

@jessfraz 24 = 2^3 * 3
16 = 2^4
24 * 16 = 2^(3+4) * 3
= 2^7 * 3
= 128 * 3
= 384

@PeterBenzoni @papavaritis @ne0liberal We should be helping *people* from poor countries, and the most effective way to help people from poor countries is to let them move wherever they want.

@planetmoney A couple of misgivings:
- No, the welfare state and public goods are not socialism
- Comparing capitalism to a mentally unstable roommate is kinda ableist

@fancywhitebread @planetmoney destinations.

Market failures are a thing, but so are gov't failures. Regulations can fail to meet their intended objectives or have pernicious effects. The goal should be to regulate if and only if it's beneficial.

[¬x @duckjr159]

@fancywhitebread @planetmoney Regulating the living hell out of it can be a bad idea, though. Take housing - many local gov'ts make it illegal to build anything other than a luxury condo. This raises prices, reinforces racial segregation, and forces people to drive instead of being able to walk to their /1

@planetmoney @ne0liberal The difference is that government-run hospitals, insurance plans, basic income, etc. are still part of the welfare state, and the welfare state doesn't count.

@planetmoney @ne0liberal And social democracy is not socialism. State-owned enterprises that produce steel, for instance, might be socialism, but not state-owned health insurance. I'm pretty close to being a social democrat.

@iamstephenwest I'm excited, as usual!

I'd love to hear an episode or two about Zera Yacob and Walda Heywat too!
