You know, I really don’t care how you define the system as long as it works.

I have been people argue about ‘socialism’ vs. ‘social democracy’ vs ‘communism’ since I was in grade school and none of it has done a drop of good for anyone whatsoever.

While people on the Left are wasting time arguing, the people on the Right are voting. They are the ones who keep winning because they keep their eyes on the prize.

Donald Trump is literally throwing people in jail for speaking out, and expanding the Gaza genocide right now, and you’re focusing on how I define 'socialism.

Cheeky trull! Away!

LPT.

If you’re using a toy that big, the neighbors and the police already know what’s going on

Funny story.

A while back someone posed a question online. They wanted to know why all Socialist countries fail? I answered that they don’t; look at Canada. They told me that I was a fool, because the Heritage Foundation had showed that Canada was freer than the USA. I asked why we shouldn’t have Canadian style health care? They never got back to me.

Reminded because of the folks you cited.

Dos’t thou thinks’t that the wiley mechanicist can not create an operator that can plumb the depths of language with ease? Our language is as unchanging as the mountains, and shall ever be so.

Think of it this way.

There’s an actual medical condition known as Chauffeur’s fracture.

Back in the day, before the invention of the self starting engine, drivers would have to hand crank the cars, and sometimes a backfire would cause a particular type of injury.

Also, there’s a great line in the movie “The Interpreter” with Nicole Kidman.

Two UN interpreters are chatting about work. "I had a good one today. The American said it was “pie in the sky.” "

“Oh, that’s a tough one. What did you use?”

“Castles in Spain.”

“Nice.”

My personal opinion is that it’s 2025 and translation is free.

Get a well fitting back pack.

Put in enough weight that you feel it. A textbook is usually enough.

Wear it all the time.

It will remind you to stand up straight and it works your abs too.

I always say “I’m another day older and deeper in debt.”

One of the saddest stories I ever read was the hard working, self employed carpenter who waited until he won the lottery to get a medical checkup.

He died of a preventable cancer because he couldn’t afford to get seen

I’m sure everyone who knows you agrees.

Yes, and they will hand out ‘loans’ that they will expect to be repaid.

Or, they show up with their guns and resentments…

Life isn’t a video game you can reset when you don’t like it.

And if things go to shit, you don’t think they’ll be internal refugees coming to your state?

They aren’t going to disappear.

Hate to be the one to tell you, but life’s not a video game and you don’t get extra lives.

Don’t kid yourself that this could in any way be a good thing.

What will happen is that big companies like Blackwater will step into the breach and do FEMA’s job. Except instead of leaving after things are better, they will auction off the right to run the towns to the highest bidder. “Enterprise zones” with no Unions or OSHA allowed.
