Do we have a "Taking Things from Men" thread??
Because, yeah. So much of what is happening is the feminization of the American society. Men, by their nature, are more impressed with merit versus some grievance anyone has for things that some ancestors did to other ancestors.
My guess is that there are lots of rational, sane men who are married to irrational, insane women and they are afraid to put their foot down and say, "No - our child will NOT go to one of those schools."
Then, of course, there are lots of irrational, insane women (but I repeat myself) that don't even have a man to attempt to save their children.
+rep brother.
The response will no doubt be something along the lines of “hey, we don’t make the laws. We just enforce them. Your beef is with the guys creating these laws.” In other words, “we can’t be bothered to look at any of these situations and make any kind of moral determination. That could jeopardize our jobs.”
Apparently, they never heard of the Nuremberg Trials.
You don’t need friends like those.
You know, it's usually a clue that when you build an argument upon "if" statements - and those "if's" have to be designed by politicians just right and implemented meticulously by bureaucrats - that maybe your complicated government control and balancing act is probably not a very good idea and we should just try freedom.
(and seriously, are you just going to paraphrase Orwell in this thread? You've already done "War is Peace" and "Freedom is Slavery" arguments, you have to work in "Ignorance is Strength" and you'll be all set! I'm sure you've made it before, but can you do it in a single thread???)
So....
This is pretty big friggin' news. In a world we left behind, this would have been plastered all over the news channels and the alarm bells would be going off. Heck, that's only 15-20 years ago.
Yeah, no. He had political capital. Cronyist capital. His parents are a couple of the biggest financial lawyers in the US and extremely active in the elite democratic party circles. SBF was able to accumulate wealth ONLY because his well-placed investors figured he was safe from "teh law".
Send these types to prison and throw away the key. Their kind of capital is destructive to innocent people.
If I’m ever favored with such a visit I’ll do like my dad recommended in these kinds of situations, have coffee and a sweet roll ready and waiting for them. After all, they have a tough job and would probably really appreciate the consideration.
I don't believe that GWB would have treated losses resulting from a disaster of this sort the same way. It took him very little time to sign a relief package after Katrina, in spite of complaints that he was too slow by his political opponents, and I don't believe he ever suggested that a free market solution would have been preferable.
No Republican administration since Reagan would have done that. And the current presumptive Republican nominee if given this opportunity, would use it to prove that he's enough of a leader to hand out a bigger bailout than Biden would have.
Ah, I get it now.. It's Schrodinger's Tax. Simultaneously being avoided while offsetting other taxes. Brilliant!
But again, you're being dishonest by comparing uniform tariffs as a form of taxation versus protectionist tariffs as a prelude to war.
"Imperfect taxation is better than none.
And the more taxes there are the less uneven and imperfect they can be.
Always vote for more taxes on anything we can provide for ourselves."
You just justified the entire democratic ideology - nice. No wonder protectionist tariffs have been part of that party's platform for decades. Bernie would approve.
