I can forgive somebody conflating labor and value, but only if they haven't given any serious thought to the matter. If they have, and still believe it, there's willful ignorance or some other problem at play.

It's never purely on the buyer or the seller. The price goes up 30%; fewer customers buy them and the ones that do pay more. The business makes less money; they cut some prices to recoup some sales.... maybe to $900. The lot of shir

The question then becomes, whose money are you going to take against their will and give to the beggar? And you may believe that this would be a greater good, and a proper role of government... different people may think differently about t

I don't think it has anything to do with being right wing -- Rand despised and was despised by much of the right wing -- but more to do with her traditionalist method of doing philosophy. I'd even call it Russian-influenced. I t

She addressed the problem with accepting assistance in relation to student tuition assistance. Briefly, she said hate the game, not the player. The students have a structure imposed upon them, and it's not irrational or unethical to

If we have an election in 2026 and 2028, will you reassess your convictions? Or just carry them forward without re-evaluation?

I'm old, and hate the bastardization of language when it's done out of ignorance, and particularly when it's done with some sort of manipulative agenda. But this is a perfectly reasonable new term, describing an interesting s

I think Twitter (and to a lesser degree its derivatives like bluesky, threads, etc) did far more harm than Facebook. It played a major part in ruining journalism and politics to a degree that far outshadows any other social media platform.

I'm confused by the site. I mean, I like it, but I'm still confused. Aren't all recipes public domain, once you strip away the extraneous text? https://legalclarity.org/can-you-copyright-a-recipe-what-the...

Fill up an electric car with thousands of golf-ball-sized batteries, each holding maybe 10 watts. Small enough they are treated like almost like a fluid. They're dumped and recharged at a station, damaged ones disposed of. Too cheap

Why would you even try to fit three meals into 8 hours? That kind of defeats the point. You would probably fit a snack and meal into that period. It could be a really big meal, and it would still probably be significantly less calories th
