It would be really nice if those checks and balances actually worked.

Just...wow...did he realize he was moving to Alki? I'd imagine at least 95% of the people in Alki are "outsiders" on any given day.

What am I saying? He bought that house 40 years ago for $20k.

Too many liberal pundits think that the formula that works for the fascists would also work for them. No matter how much progressives show a better way, liberals are stuck in the mode of emulating their opponents instead of trying to actually beat them.

Do you think we could trick them into watching "The Man in the High Castle"? I mean...they should want to watch it since their heroes are in control. Maybe storyline about John Smith's son might actually knock some humanity into them?

This is why I'm so worried about my father, who has been a citizen for almost 50 years. If he loses his rights, my entire world collapses like a house of cards. Am I still a citizen at that point? What about my daughter? Where does the domino effect (to mix metaphors) end?

Also, background checks for gun purchases is supported even more than the COVID vaccine. Is there a federal law requiring it? No. Can we expect one any time soon? Also, no.

The longer it takes us to understand that anti-vax groups act like the NRA or anti-abortion groups, the worse it will get.

Seriously. "We don't want the military in our cities, but we DO want trigger-happy flunkies with the same military equipment! Also, cameras everywhere!" It's exhausting.

This is the same logical problem as the people who think we need 100k more cops. So I don't think this delusion is solely a conservative issue. It's held in a slightly different form by liberals, as well.

You need a lot more than a solar panel for a charging station, though. I am happy that more gas stations are installing high speed chargers, though. It makes my life a lot easier.

But have we tried asking actual historians? I think we still have some of those kicking around somewhere.

Of course, that ignores another predatory thing they do where they try to convince you that securing your credit requires a subscription even though freezing your credit is free. But if you don't know the right words to search for...THEY MAKE MONEY BY LOSING YOUR DATA!

No spokesperson will ever convince me that Sam Altman has human emotions.

At least they're getting an appropriate ratio.
