Hillbilly trying to make sense of the world.

@JeromeAdamsMD Lots of possibilities. One bidder may already have plenty of work so he bids high and doesn't care whether he gets the job. Other possibility is different specifications so it's apples to oranges. You really have to be careful with construction companies, some are shady.

@DanMKervick Same. I don't know what the answer is, but I'm pretty sure it's not the 2-party system.

[Dan Lynch @mtngun]

@NateSilver538 Matt focuses on issues, not parties, and more people should do the same.

@ProfHall1955 Not to dispute your main point, but only half of American retirees have a private pension, and that number is dropping as time goes by.

@JeromeAdamsMD @bdw_indiana Taxpayer subsidies also go to beef ranchers, almond growers, and just about every type of agricultural enterprise. If you have a ramen noodle budget, you don't need or want a high end grocery store in your neighborhood.

@matthewstoller @TheStalwart Now it is official policy.

@Ampersand48 Fencing the neighbor's cows OUT.

[Dan Lynch @mtngun]

My trusty steed and I were out repairing fence this morning.

@Ampersand48 I drink rainwater. OK, sometimes I add drink mix to the water.

@Race2Extinct Fellow Selway enthusiast and trail volunteer here. I can relate to your comments about trails disappearing. Yeah, stock animals do a lot of damage and only benefit a tiny percentage of the population.

[Dan Lynch @mtngun]

@Ampersand48 Same.

[Dan Lynch @mtngun]

@Ampersand48 I read somewhere that a plurality of Idaho County residents are on Social Security. But of those who are employed, most work for the gummint. So basically we are a socialized welfare state.

@matthewstoller @Rory_Johnston Pipelines are easily bombed. It's not just oil, it's also fertilizer and other petrochemicals. Bottom line: peace is required for reliable commerce.

@MattBruenig My rule of thumb for social programs: “everybody in, nobody out.”

@keithdorejel The U.S. could not even defeat Yemen and is getting its ass kicked by Iran. We would have never, under any circumstances, have had a prayer against China. But hey, we can kick some banana republic ass.

@moorehn They're a monopoly. They buy out their competitors and buy shelf space in grocery stores. Then jack up their prices.
