    Trump abruptly comes home early

    He’s being evicted. Like many Americans this year.

    Trump abruptly comes home early

    Words fail me.

    Trump abruptly comes home early

    Thank you, Audie for sharing your perspectives. I am not defending China. I am not calling Trump a racist for criticizing China. This thread is about Trump. Don’t you see? It is BECAUSE we never want to end up with an authoritarian like in China, that we make a big deal when Trump breaks the...

    Trump abruptly comes home early

    Audie, I wish those of us in the US who oppose Donald Trump could afford to be sanguine about which threats he will make good on and which unpredictable course he will take next. There is a 99% chance nothing serious will happen between now and Biden’s inauguration. Sadly, we don’t have the...

    Can You Be Capitalist and Liberal?

    Part of me says no. What do you think? Liberalism, as I understand it to be defined, entails support for civil liberties and free enterprise. That may be slightly at odds with socialism. Liberalism is also associated with promoting social welfare. But that is not the same thing as socialism.

    COVID-19 Vaccine Tracker

    I have a friend who works in the ER of a large medical system, one of the largest in the country. They have had 7,000 refusals of the vaccine among doctors, nurses and staff. Some of those doses will not get used, and will spoil and go to waste. My friend assures me these refusals are NOT...

    How I'd like U.S. Socialism to be soon implemented

    With all due respect to the OP: (1) This doesn’t sound like socialism it sounds like a lot of taxation and spending on a welfare state. (2) That’s a lot of numbers. Did you come up with all these yourself? Or is there a way to verify that the math actually adds up?

    COVID-19 Vaccine Tracker

    Trump is a moron and greatly bungled the response. However, the vaccine rollout in the US appears to be very successful so far - no? According to the article in the OP, the US ranks among the highest for number of vaccinations as a percentage of total population thus far. That’s a good thing...

    A "1st World" Ethical Dilemma

    This is fantastic. :)

    FOX News home of award winning journalism:

    I never thought I would find myself defending Fox News ... but ... OAN, Breitbart, Newsmax, and other alt-right trolls’ nests are even worse. It’s truly astonishing.

    House approves $2000 stimulus checks; sends bill to Senate

    Well said. Great post. In fairness to Mr Hue, on this particular point, I think he was saying that Democrats ought to not add any additional riders / pork to the bill and just stick with the stimulus money. Which as far as I’m aware, this time, they did. Mitch blocked it anyway.

    Supreme Court Totally Incompetent & Weak

    But none of the competent justices he appointed dissented to the decision. Also, Trump called the court “totally incompetent”. I think you’re getting warmer ... That’s possible, but alas! The one-term President is challenged to express such nuance. He didn’t get his way and just lashed out...

    The Reason Science Is Flawed

    Fascinating. If I may ask: suppose you wired everything in your bank account to me. I would interpret that sensory data very positively. Would you interpret this “vastly differently”? Why don’t you wire me a few thousand bucks and let’s compare interpretations! ;)

    The Reason Science Is Flawed

    If this is true, could you send me the objective routing number of your bank account? Don’t worry, you’ll subjectively still have money in the account at the center of your universe when I’m done with it. Like science, I’m operating off the flawed assumption that you have objective funds in...

    Further Information About Decline Of Democrat Run Areas.

    That’s fair. I’m not saying we aren’t a democracy. Just that money has significant power to warp that democracy and occasionally cause results that are at odds with the will of the people. Those results were quoted by Heyo and cry out for an explanation. Yes I vote. Because the alternative is...

    Further Information About Decline Of Democrat Run Areas.

    I think what Heyo is getting at is that in a free election - just as in a free market - voters and consumers do not receive perfect information. Voters and consumers only have a certain amount of time, energy, and education upon which to make their choices. These choices are warped and distorted...

    Someday...an Economy Without Money

    I readily admit and accept this. My education and understanding of economics and its history, and radical alternative theories of social systems, is sorely lacking. Your patience in assisting me with my inadequate imagination is appreciated. Thanks for the food for thought. If we lived in a...

    America’s most admired man, Donald Trump

    You think that based on ... what evidence? The flight path of birds? The current lunar phase?

    Someday...an Economy Without Money

    This goal is unassailable. That would be great! However, this assumes there is a perfect match between “what people like to do” vs “what people like to have”. We ALL like to have working indoor plumbing. Do we ALL like to fix toilets? We ALL want and need some basic level of food, shelter...

    Someday...an Economy Without Money

    I’m sorry too. I meant no disrespect - I was just trying to keep it lighthearted. I also did not mean to “pile on”. I realize you are debating several people at the same time here. FWIW, I think one disconnect I see on this thread is that you are assuming a perfectly efficient government, and...
