I like biking, birding, Bach, and the Beatles. Bollards, too.
I am sure that for the sake of consistency, Trump is also going to fire himself for past donations to prominent Democrats.

I would say that it is fitting that you include a Thomas Malthus doomer quote that turned out to be totally wrong. This whole project is misguided. It's the best time to be alive no matter how you measure it.

Come on now, I hear your feeling down. I can ease your pain and get you on your feet again.

Certain cultists have set a date for the end of humanity: 2100. Except with the caveat that it only "is a lot more likely to happen than not" and the contradictory caveat that it is inevitable, but only "very possibly" inevitable.
Confusing.

I can't help but think of the religious cultists who tell us what year the world is going to end. The year passes and we are still here and then they just shrug. I don't want to think of them, but I can't help it.

I know you are not in a mood to hear it, but in general health, wealth, happiness, safety, education, women's rights, civil rights, death in war, death by anything: these measures all show incredible improvement over the decades, centuries, and millenia. LIFE IS GOOD.

300 billion times 30 is 9 trillion. That would be good for our budget but we don't get anywhere near that.

The Doors are still relevant in the sense at least that the Bandsplain podcast did an episode on them. Plus the YouTube clips... phenomenal.

The problem is that the data is not coming in so good on inflation. At least it has been persisting above 2%. So what's he talking about?

This is not going to create the change that is needed. Like you said, right on. We know economists generally can't even predict out one year with any credibility.
