I've worked in the private sector. They expect results

@feelsdesperate My grandpa did. Hispanic WWII vet in Albuquerque. Grandma just spent all day at at church, so I think that gave him the time. When she died, he was crippled by fear she would haunt him and send him to hell

@laethcore Don't mean this in a snarky way, but I wonder if this is true for James Patterson?

[Dan Pierson @underwritersubs]

@aelfred_D Togas? Do you laugh at them and say this is the Odyssey not Gladiator?

[Dan Pierson @underwritersubs]

@jarvis_best @SleveMcDic And stabby! Don't forget it's also really, really, really, REALLY stabby. ... Good place to od on fentanyl though

[Dan Pierson @underwritersubs]

@SeanTrende @rkylesmith There's an episode of Gilbert Gottfried's podcast, where they talk about a PG movie from the 70s with full frontal nudity

[Dan Pierson @underwritersubs]

@cjscalia Me and my siblings watching that. "That's the Virgin Mary AND Sebatian Flyte!!!"

It was only many years later we found out we did not have normal childhoods

@jarvis_best Complaining about the elderly while driving 30 mph

@arthurbrooks I went to confession this weekend & the priest plugged your new book during the sacrement. Although he didn't make buying it a requirement of my penance. Might have been an oversight on his part

[Dan Pierson @underwritersubs]

@CatholicHerald There it is! There's that appeal to personal authority that every heretic & schimatic always ends up at

[Dan Pierson @underwritersubs]

@lutherabel1 Just looked him up. Apparently he killed A LOT of Communists (Old Bolsheviks, Trotsky. Etc.). Seems like a solid guy

@four4thefire Americans, famously known for not being able to leave their home towns because the can't afford to.

No travel sports, going to Europe, or Disney World, or National Parks. We just can't afford it because we don't have trains

[Dan Pierson @underwritersubs]

@TheBabylonBee @jarvis_best you know what to do

[TheHuntForTomClancy @HuntClancy]

someone should write a really extensive book about whaling

[Dan Pierson @underwritersubs]

@TPCarney Do these people know how crazy they sound?!

"Let's blow up our (already over professionalized and extremely successful) sports system, for ... the country's 12th most popular sport"

[Dan Pierson @underwritersubs]

@roddreher New Mexico having nearly perfect weather, amazing food and wonderful achitectue and art (Catholic, indigenous & secular), and still being mostly ignored (except for Taos & SF) is just crazy

[Dan Pierson @underwritersubs]

@mattyglesias @JerusalemDemsas Biggest surprise for me reading it, was her disdain for large urban parks. Although I was completely convinced by her argument there

[Dan Pierson @underwritersubs]

@bobbyfijan (most of the county is now open space even if technically private land) and demand (who can wait 10 years for payout & have the local clout to get the city to approve)

[Dan Pierson @underwritersubs]

@bobbyfijan Good point. Entitlement costs tend to be a synecdoche of constraints on supply & demand elsewhere. Boulder can rent seek because it artificially constrains supply

[Dan Pierson @underwritersubs]

@bobbyfijan I do a lot of financing in Boulder County, CO. Legal battles, waiting for permits & inclusionary zoning are huge burdens. 1 project the investors bought the land in 2020 & are still waiting on permits. Cost per market rate lot has gone from $85k to $664k
