@Dharmaxgreg@realmaddox Democrats and Republicans are both trash. They only serve to ossify the control structures and prevent change. New parties can't get a foothold and those who don't toe the line don't get to play.
@grain99806254@Dr_Gingerballs@edzitron Status quo? Same thing that always happens. When the hammer drops we screw the future even harder to bail out the now. Gold, silver, bitcoin, lead.
@grain99806254@Dr_Gingerballs@edzitron Nobody spent 10 trillion. A company's market cap is not a measure of how much money has been invested. Most shares were purchased at a lower price than today's in this sector.
@goneflyin@CostasAnest@esrtweet@ShamashAran@jamestalarico No, in the analogy, you make a cake and someone else decides to trash it against you will. That is not the same situation as an abortion at all, unless the abortion is forced.
@esrtweet@ShamashAran@jamestalarico The Bill Burr example is a good one. I put a cake mixture in the oven and you come and take it out and throw it in the trash. Should I not be angry because it was not a cake yet?
@DrPhiltill@herbiebradley@Jayoh_Essaych So what do we do? Ensure broad human involvement in the production of necessities? Or figure out how to all get along so we could share evenly without forcible redistribution?
@lotrlover23468@esrtweet@jmrphy "Believe in truth" is a poor way to phrase what is being said. The message was that you should believe that there is an objective truth and not just chaos. And that is indeed the foundation of most modern cultures.
In other news, we used to carry full size spare ties and jacks and could be back on the road in 15 minutes. And that strategy worked here in WV. The nearest service center is more than an hour away for me, so I'm probably taking the wheel off and hitching a ride to a tire shop for a replacement unless I want to burn half a day.
I wish I could have a full size spare instead of a frunk.
