As if you needed any more evidence that insurance companies are the worst, my homeowners policy requires me to send a *letter* to dispute their pricing renewal. And MAYBE they'll respond in 30 days.
When the pricing decision was completely automated and all the information is in a database.

Firing and demoralizing feminized jobs as enemies of the state while brazenly bribing men with violent jobs that almost instantly puts them into the middle of middle class is very basic gendered warfare. Fulfilling the manosphere’s promise.
It is insane to me that the government can find money to pay ICE agents increasingly larger sums of money, yet teachers have to buy their own pencils.

The moderate position used to be maintaining slavery. The moderate position used to be maintaining Jim Crow. The only time having a moderate position would make sense is if the nation ensures justice for all. And that's never been the case in America.

I think it's now possible to make a poli-sci course that equips one for modern political analysis better than most classic theory and has a syllabus sourced entirely from random internet posts.

As usual, I think Brian is right about Brazil. Its economy isn’t very reliant on exports to the US, its judiciary operates quite independently of politics and Lula will be eager to stand up to a foreign bully. Brazil already trades more with China than with the US; tariffs deepen that relationship.

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

What's killing me the constant messaging that illegal immigration is the crime of the century, while the real crime is happening in front of our faces in Mar-a-lago.
ICE Tampa led an operation at a Tallahassee construction site on Thursday that ended in over 100 arrests. https://bit.ly/3SsYAyU

Is there anyone studying how some textbooks actually impede a student from understanding?
How can something in its 9th edition, written by experts and reviewed by folks in the field, be this convoluted?
