fiscally “responsible” nerds want to posture as cold calculated and willing to get rid of good things to improve the budget when most of the time the good things are the financially responsible policies while cutting taxes are irresponsible.

it's so funny to me that the stupid "oh, so we should just give away homes to every single homeless person in the country, for free!!??", when it is the most financially sound option

the kinds of people who label themselves as fiscally “responsible” people who want to make the difficult decisions because they care about what’s financially sound will gloss over actual financially sound options like giving people housing.

“it’s expensive” your other solutions are more expensive and more convoluted. just give people a home.

giving homeless people housing is a good litmus test to see if someone actually cares to solve a problem or not. if they want to solve homeless they’d just give people homes.

no guys don’t worry about AI energy use. in fact we don’t even know if this is for ai. it could be for healthcare data storage. you know because we’ve been building so many more hospitals in the recent years so we need data centers for all those huge text files!!!

Electricity now costs up to 267% more than it did five years ago in areas near data centers.

i hate when men act as if they’re the victim when you point out that women get raped by men. “b-b-but not all men why do you hate me?” bro shut up not everything is about you. no one accused you of anything or mentioned your name. just shut up.
