I would rather live in a society with the odd domestic terrorist whacko than one where the government dystopically forces family members to turn one another in or else go to jail too. I'm not against handling it but I could live with i

I think she recklessly pushed it to get rid of Ted with disregard for how much it hurt her husband. It was the right outcome but done by an evil bitch for selfish purposes that hurt her husband with no genuine regard for innocents. It wasn

That was my thought too. It's outside the mainland customs zone though which is full of fascist angry CBP agents at the ports of entry. Maybe CNMI immigration is easier? It's also faster/easier to escape maybe, although US

If you're referring the prison, no one will take most the people there, that's probably why it "can't" be closed. They should be released if they haven't been convicted by now... The question is to where?

Very common scam. Introduce revenue source, say "it's going to the schools/teachers." Do that for a bit, defund the prior source of cash so the teachers are at what they were before. When it's time to run the next

I think you'll find certain parties on both sides secretly want things to be framed as controversial to drum up the useful idiots to their cause or open their checkbook.

That's because we subsidize the world by investing in a massive portion of the science and tech for producing medicines. Then when those costs are recouped via sales to our consumers the whole world laughs at us while ironically many

They seem to teach it pretty fast to any idiot in the French Foreign Legion from what little I know. I have a feeling people learn fast with the 'right' incentives.

If they financed $1M @3%, they're printing about 5% a year (negative 5% real interest). That's 1.5M free money in 30 years. So really they're just asking you to buy out their opportunity cost of the feds free wealth redistr

As always, fiat currency is an inflation scam. People get tricked and on the occasion they realize, the scam is reprinted with the face of a different scamster.

Isn't that because the gas tax is regressive against the poor who have older cars with bad gas mileage and this compensates by having rich electric owners pay the share of gas tax they've skirted?

Yes the accurate way is to add receipts plus unpaid annual taxpayer liabilities. Divide by gdp. Most the weird ways you see are bogus, for interesting controlling for average taxpayer doesn't take into account the plebs ultimately pa

After decades in industry it becomes obvious some people really generate 5x+ of a new hire. Not sure why they shouldn't be able to capture that wealth when the market bears it. I don't make nearly 500k but I'm happy for mos

A smart gambler might not care about the payout. For instance, if I have a business that partially depends on election of a candidate I may bet against them winning so i recoup my investment if they lose.

And at some point that function bends hard once you hit bankruptcy, for instance many places in US you go to jail if you run out of money, especially if you have children with someone to whom you're not currently married.

Higher vacancies increase the utility of housing by reducing noise and crowding (quite a valuable quality for some), which counterintuitively may push back some against drops.

And the people have themselves to blame for voting for zoning, code, and construction regulation that price housing into oblivion. Right now renting is even cheaper than owning!

Covenants are separate from the deed and title searches fail to uncover them all the time. That's part of the problem, you buy a deed and some boomer crawls out from 6 feet under to unilaterally impose his will. It's infuriating
