Pretty good argument for capitalism

I’m interested in the tax breaks thing. It seems like most of that value comes from a sales tax exemption, but isn’t it true that Meta could pretty trivially start up an LLC in Florida to buy GPUs and just truck them in and avoid sales taxes that way? Isn’t this just an acknowledgement of that fact?

Just a perfect blend of whimsy (Philip rivers-led colts are winning!), talent (green bay and Denver), and seething contempt driven by familiarity (Goff vs rams, Carolina and New Orleans)

From Reagan-appointed U.S. District Judge William G. Young on ICE wearing masks:

"ICE goes masked for a single reason, to terrorize Americans into quiescence… In all our history we have never tolerated an armed masked secret police."

But not having an answer to a question that any 12 year-old would ask — without prisons, how will I keep safe from bad people — sort of indicates the ways in which that isn’t a serious policy position, but instead an ideology.

But that’s what it should be. It introduces more information to the market if insiders trade on knowledge that not everyone has. If you want a place where there are disincentives to do that, try the stock market.

The point of PreK is to make it so kids can sit still and do school when they get there. If you can’t regulate your emotions enough to do that you’re going to have a hard time mastering calculus irrespective of your natural talent for numbers.

Please bro just six more lanes. Six more lanes is all we need. I swear, bro, that will do it. Please bro, please. I need this.

It’d be cool if they would use AI to see the effect of new rules or interpretations on every game played historically. Like if you knew how often a targeting rule would have caused flags for plays that resulted in injuries, it might create more buy-in for the rule.

This is why outsider candidates should enter the race a year early, which he did!

But CEOs are primarily being compensated with a greater stake in the production they oversee. Hard to see a world in which that isn’t inherently capitalist. Also explains the difference between them and a Waffle House employee indexing: personal leverage over the outcome.

One thing I remember finding, circa 2011, was that for some things weak partisans broke more often than independent leaners. I think especially about social issues, if I recall correctly.

Cool, thank you. A Very Long Time Ago when I worked in polling we analyzed partisan-ness with leaner questions of self-id independents and “do you feel strongly/weakly associated” of partisans, then analyzed them as 2-3-2 (true independents and learners of both parties) vs 3-1-3 true independents.
