  1. People say the second amendment was made in the era of muskets so obviously an automatic rifle isn't what the founders were talking about While the first amendment was made in the era of newspapers, so obviously the right to speech doesn't extend to Telegrams, Radio, TV, or Digital communication
  2. Thanks CNN for informing us about the largest known online disinformation operation harassing Americans Next up, China and Saudi Arabia chairing the United Nations Human Rights Council informing us about how the rights of humans are being trampled
  3. A lot of people who are supposed to be held in high status are actually held in contempt. Republicans hating Fauci and Biden no matter how much of an expert high status they are. And Democrats calling Trump or Bush #notmypresident means they won't recognize his authority no matter how much education either of them got
  4. Those are out of sight out of mind companies As long as those rare earth mines are in Africa and they are assembled in China it doesn't count as environmental damage. It's only if those mines or factories are in our country do we need to shut them down for the sake of the Earth
  5. Seeking of suppression of desire and sexual deviants, is that what you would tell to people who want to change their gender? Would you tell them it would be healthier for society if they didn't become transgender?
  6. This just seems like a very natural back and forth You complain on social media about your employer and how they mistreated you They fire you for making them look bad by describing how they treated you Your view of them as a bad employer is reinforced and you warn people not to work for them Their view of you as a bad employee is reinforced and they earn people not to hire you. In both cases people's views are reinforced by reality. Where's the bug?
  7. Punishing people who were never victimizers and promoting people who were never victims for the sake of equity doesn't address the problems of a single parent household and the consequences it has for children, but that is proposed for the sake of Equity all the time
  8. Media can thrive on negativity and the economy can be in rough shape with young people not being able to buy a home or start a family. Just look at American fertility, it's more dramatic if you exclude first and second generation immigrants out of the number and see how large the delta is between the number of kids people want to have and the number they actually do
  9. So what does their data say about the cost of a house in 2019 vs today? The cost of a vehicle in 2019 vs today? it could just be the BLS not fully capturing inflation
  10. Government is how we got into this mess by limiting the supply of housing through zoning. Allow people to build up the unit in their backyard or in their garage and you'll unlock a whole new section of housing supply that will drive the bottom of the market down
