Catholic. Systems Thinking. Minnesota sports fan, so I also root for Sooners, Cyclones, & Stars. Fond of stuff that can be associated with barrels: baseball, bourbon, barbecue, the occasional polka…
If for nothing else, thanks for drawing out all of the people who don’t know how Congress works.

I’ll give a pass if whoever it was follow’s a process and voted for 10.

Yep, it needs to be paired with the revocation of the income tax, otherwise it acts the same as an increase in corporate taxes on net household incomes.

One thing a corporate tax does not do nearly as effectively as a tariff, however, is to create a bilateral negotiating chit in foreign policy.

Nah. These institutions did it to themselves. Every one. They each lost their own plots, often contradicting their former selves and what they were about, or at least what we were told they were about.

I’m skeptical but then I’d thought McAfee might’ve flamed out by now.

Doesn’t anyone in the comments know what happens when Minnesota sports fans get excited early in the season?

Here’s my reminder from May:

Despite a 6-game skid and going 3-7 the last 10, we still have a Twins whitepill moment. They still are projected on average to win 88 games and the division.

Good grief. I guess “peace” is what happens when you're not paying attention. Enjoy the reality check.

Sure. It’s only a problem if you think depth is luxury instead of a necessity.

Bookmarking this. What do you think the timeline is? What’s this like the 6th or 7th time someone has tried to create an alternate going concern to Twitter/X? And X isn’t standing still.

If you’re shrouding significant context or manipulating the perception of consensus to make an explanation palatable for your agenda, you don’t love science. Politicians do this. Big _______ execs do this. Criminals do this. It is a corruption of what science is.
