@scottlincicome I was considered myself the most staunch supporter of capitalism out of all Bahamians, but TIL that the Jones Act is essential to a strong US merchant marine and must not be repealed. :p

@support Might be nice if there was an easy way to retweet a screenshot of a tweet. That way, you can share egregious content more easily without boosting their views, hopefully reducing the views that content gets.

@justinamash @gul_garak What’s the change you think needs to be made? You have a link?

@JamesSurowiecki Is stealing easier from Costco? If not, then why would they pay to steal from Costco when they could go somewhere else and where they can steal for free and don’t have to identify themselves to the store?

@wil_da_beast630 Americans are better off when they can hire or do business locally with rights respecting foreigners (background check and health screening). Making up rules and stopping Americans makes Americans worse and is tyranny.

@glukianoff That’s a valuable side benefit for living and pursuing happiness. The primary being that free speech is necessary to speak and learn what’s true (maybe particularly about the government).

[Varga @TravisVarga]

conservatives always had fundamental beliefs in conflict with those. Some of them are resolving the contradiction.

[Phil Magness @PhilWMagness]

Things that Postliberals do not wish to conserve:

- Declaration of Independence
- Constitution
- The founding fathers
- Individual liberty
- Free markets
- Limited government
- Peaceful relations w longstanding allies

There's nothing "conservative" about these authoritarians.

@Duderichy That’s an insult to the stupid.

[Varga @TravisVarga]

@luxebarbie_ @ClothesAesthe Agreed. If you value your body, you be healthy and dress to complement it. Ideally, your organs are internal and not seen.

[Varga @TravisVarga]

@chrisman Christianity works for what? It’s not particularly great for man to live and achieve happiness.

[Varga @TravisVarga]

@SalomeSibonex What’s happening is that experts don’t support rights, and that gets exacerbated by social media and then people already opposed to rights use that as an excuse to violate rights further.

[Varga @TravisVarga]

@SalomeSibonex By inciting or targeting, you mean acts that aren’t illegal? I think you’re underestimating the difficulty of what you’re suggesting. And social media companies can’t deal with the issue when the experts/government don’t support man’s rights.

[Varga @TravisVarga]

@IamSean90 Holding a grudge seems like too much work, just judge a murderer as evil and move on. And forgiving people who haven’t earned it is counterproductive for living or pursuing happiness.

[Varga @TravisVarga]

@ConservaWonk @JonahDispatch Supporting their own inalienable right to life, liberty, property and the pursuit of happiness would be a good start.

[Varga @TravisVarga]

@CathyYoung63 Disagree. Democrats are just awful at defending man’s inalienable rights, including a woman’s right to abort. They should just get better at defending rights.

[Varga @TravisVarga]

I hope he means both parties think they benefit.

[Milton Friedman Quotes @MiltonFriedmanW]

“The most important single central fact about a free market is that no exchange takes place unless both parties benefit.”

@wesyang What about Kirk “debating” students on topics where you think Kirk was wrong? Or where the issue is less certain?

[Varga @TravisVarga]

@brandonmlisi Congratulations!

[Varga @TravisVarga]

@AynRandInst @Nikos_17 No, a better way to say this is it’s more like two people presenting their view in turns. Which can be fine.

[Varga @TravisVarga]

@AynRandInst @Nikos_17 I find these less like discussions and more like two people just presenting the same explanation in turns.

[Varga @TravisVarga]

@bryan_johnson It’s something you experience when you’re uncertain about losing a value, possibly when you can’t do anything about it.
