Yeah, I once thought he was an interesting follow as someone who was so enmeshed in conservative politics making it out is rare but the way he uses this platform makes me think he only shifted politically to be in a better position to dunk on people over immeasurable technicalities.

I mean it is bad that it was written into law to be so toothless and swayed by political winds. It should have been like the IRS or the Fed but Nixon made it a dog to be controlled.

Brother, you fundamentally don’t understand your religion. Hebrews 8:6-13 explicitly says the old covenant (Leviticus) is obsolete. You are doing the equivalent of saying that the Stamp Act of 1765 is the law of the land today. You need to stop eating shellfish and wearing wool and cotton together.

lol a “Christian” who doesn’t understand the fundamentals of their theology. The whole idea of Jesus is that the Siniatic covenant is irrelevant and only through the New Covenant where the only commandment is to “love one another” can salvation be achieved.

This kind of action is why the EPA was created in the first place by Nixon. Otherwise each state and federal agency would have had their own environmental wing. This centralization was so the GOP could easily control our entire environmental policy at once.

The reason why we were so rhetorically tough on the Nazis compared to other historical monsters was to justify our own war crimes when fighting them and legitimizing our partitioning of Germany with the USSR. Absent an imperial motivation the economic motivation to sweep it under the rug overrides.

Ben and Marc revel in the spotlight despite being unlikable hacks who happened to be in the right place at the right time and only care about themselves. Jay Gould and Jim Fisk would be better analogues to these modern robber barons. 5/

Even the metaphor of Ben and Marc as modern Moseses fails. Moses acted in the shadows and despite the evil he wrought, he thought he was doing the right thing in a paternalistic way, was actually talented (even funny at times) and was unconcerned with accumulation of personal wealth. 4/

The idea that they would use the guise of the most exhaustive profiling of a monster ever set to paper as their exaltation of their idols is beyond parody, beyond irony. 3/

It’s just such a staggering display of everything wrong with the ecosystem there. The AI image, the outright distain for literacy and the fact that clearly none of them have read the work or even understand what it was about. 2/

He was brought on to ACIP because he was critical of lockdowns and covid vaccines, claiming they were more dangerous than getting COVID. Same reason another economist is the current head of the NIH. They were brought on because of their views on COVID not despite them.

I don’t agree with the actual numbers in the post (a better analysis I would guess would put it in the 70-100k range) but the idea that we shouldn’t be only looking at food prices to determine where the poverty line is. Housing and ed costs omission obscures the urban working low earners.

Yeah if this had came out to 100k for a family of 4 it would be much more believable as an exercise.

That’s fair but equally the focus on the cost of living in “Real AmericaTM” helps people ignore the the drops in relative wages and ability to participate in society of the formerly industrial urban working class in and around cities.

If you look at the greater DC Baltimore area it’s 2.7% of the population. 80% of Americans live in urban areas vs rural ones. It’s time to stop thinking the we can ignore the cost of city living because most people live in and around cities.

People (and women more than men) feel safer in a SUV than a minivan, in a crossover than a sedan. I’m not saying they are right to (I’ve only ever owned compact sedans) but that’s what is driving the growth in size. I agree that this poses hazards to peds but that has nothing to do safety features.

As an excuse to whom? Do you think car companies have to justify the size of their cars to someone based on safety features? CAFEs has incentivized larger footprints but the driver of growing SUV and truck sales has been consumer sentiment and increasing disposable income.

All cars have blind spots! And the NHTSA disagrees with you as does their EU, Austrailian, Canadian and Japanese counterparts about back up cameras. Back up cameras save lives!

In that time rear view cameras, lane assist, automatic braking, drowsy driver detection, blind spot detection and side, center, and seatbelt airbags went from luxury features to standard. If safer is your metric for better, cars today are unquestionably safer than the cars of 20 years ago.

That people’s spending habits have changed to include more luxury services is an indicator that they have more disposable income.
