The government is inefficient. I hope the U.S. moves toward less government—or at least less federal government—in favor of state governance. That way, social democrats could be happy in California with their undocumented immigrants, while Texas could be happy without illegal immigrants.

Almost nobody likes racism, but having stenciling that says "End Racism" in the end zone is so mawkish and lame. It doesn’t resonate with the "dude's dude" psychographic; rather, it only appeals to bleeding-heart social democrats, Marxists, artsy types, and the like i.e. the NPR crowd.

Ideally, you’d want to minimize taxpayer expenses. To achieve this, you’d reduce the # of federal workers to the point where it lowers costs. If a federal program or job is popular, it’s likely that it could have been funded voluntarily—unless, of course, social democrats are all talk & no action.

The juxtaposition of that neo-fascist video with Elon's salute seems more convincing than comparing it to Hitler’s salute, which looks quite different. Perhaps (one could argue that) Elon is familiar with both salutes but uses the neo-fascist one as a dog whistle, allowing for plausible deniability.

Someone needs to make a news channel all about foxes. I'd so what the shit out of that. It would be glorious — too cute and powerful.

This app is beautiful. I hope it performs well in this short-form social media competition. I'm somewhat of a serial social media try-er, & I'm mentioning this, which might mean something—though I'm not quite sure what.

So cute! I'm surprised Liam Neeson was able to battle these dudes.

This is probably another "boy who cried wolf" situation. The wolf eventually comes, but I don't think Elon Musk is the wolf. He seems more like a self-interested nerd with some dreams of space and other whatnot. I love the artsy vibe to this poster video though.

Do you mean like "a significant portion of the population needs to adopt and believe in Marxism"? Tbh, I'm not a Marxist anymore. I'm more of a fan of controlled experiments in governance. I quite like Henry George's land value tax and polycentric models of governance, similar to the GitHub style.

I've heard there's often about a month-long delay for Congress members to report, though I'm not entirely certain. I don’t do the fancy political-based swing trades. I prefer boring dividend-yielding, preferably stable, family or founder-owned companies, or similar investments in ETFs.

Perhaps just make their portfolios live and publicly viewable instead. P.S. I love the open source-ee solutions to everything

The Democrats and Republicans have the sorts that if you were able to follow their stock trades without delays you'd make bank. Like Mitch McConnell and of course Nancy Pelosi.

It just looks like an excuse not to support the guy's nomination. Why can't people just say, 'I disagree with X person politically, and therefore I don't want them in a position of power'? It feels like political whatnot is full of these silly mind games I'd rather not play.
