Remember the Green New Deal? We were gonna use the magic of MMT to print trillions of dollars to fix climate change and there wouldn’t have been any hyperinflation or anything those evil Koch-funded economists said would have happened? Now, the $40 trillion national debt is already sounding the alarm. And people think Washington DC can fix climate change?

I hear it’s got Louisiana Bayou-like conditions and you barely have to leave Missouri for it. What’d you guys think of it?

Anybody been to both? And I don’t ask to be edgy. I’m genuinely curious which has a higher standard of living.

(No disrespect to the people living there. My hometown metro area doesn’t have a rosy reputation either.)

At the 45:45 minute mark, he describes Evansville as a town that’s a giant trailer park.

We either hear that companies should not be taxed at all and that the market should determine wages from the right or that they should be taxed bigly and a large welfare state provided from the left. Why is this a dichotomy?

Can’t they pay a sufficient amount and (in part, to be able to afford this) not also be taxed severely? One wishes Lyndon Johnson’s War on Poverty meant strengthening of unionization rights, but otherwise deregulating the economy and cutting spending to get the productive forces chugging along better.

The left (usually) wants to deny IQ entirely and claim it’s just a tool by racists and the right tends to acknowledge it, but then argue that it can be overcame with hard work, but if a person’s processing speed is just inherently lower, how are they to succeed? (Admittedly, some trades probably don’t take an IQ of 100.)

Here’s the films from the 70s I’ve seen:
•Badlands (1973)
•The Exorcist (1973)
•Taxi Driver (1976)
•Carrie (1976)
•Star Wars (1977)
•Exorcist II: The Heretic (1977)
•Midnight Express (1978)
•Halloween (1978)
•Stalker (1979)
•Alien (1979)

Recommendations? I know there’s Jaws (1975) and One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest (1975).

The media is saying that the planet is going to become uninhabitable via climate change, while simultaneously complaining about not enough babies being born.

Why is this not a cause for celebration? If the world is becoming a cabin on fire, wouldn’t it be good that less metaphorical logs are being brought into it?
