The Church places a second temple on the edge of town. Iit’s fitting. My former faith engages only itself. It speaks. It doesn’t listen.
It’s a parochial pastoral parasitic anachronism sucking a tithe of 10% that it will never invest in our community.

If the guy had the power to save lives by taking bullets, why’d he wait so long? I wouldn’t want all those unsaved lives on my conscience, would you? Clearly, he should’ve started taking bullets sooner.

Whereupon we settle at Donald Trump’s equilibrium of imbecility:
Immigration restrictions and deportations result in artificial scarcity in labor supply.
Tariffs restore the balance by making sure there’s nothing for anyone to do anyway—artificially reduced labor demand.

"If you look at page 1 of the tariff handbook, it says: Don't tariff inputs. It's the simplest way to make it harder—more expensive—for Americans to do business. Any factory around the world can get the steel, copper, and aluminum it needs without paying a 50% upcharge, except an American factory."

“You may be right about our cultural and educational institutions. I agree they were wasting money if the results are idiots like you."

For many years at the far south end of the Las Vegas Strip there sat a retro-charming motel fronted by a small sculpture of a pink elephant called the Diamond Inn.
A few years ago, having earned more than its share of notoriety, the Diamond Inn was forced to close.

They re showgirls, they re strippers, they're slappers,
Or might as well be for all that
Anyone ever leaves this ravine.

It's estimated that these moves could result in 200,000 premature deaths by 2050.
