Same FBI that's about to start arresting "terrorist" parents for having the temerity to speak at school board meetings? That FBI? https://thehill.com/opinion/criminal-justice/575658-fbi-shou... htt

Arguably the _only_ real, reliable, sustainable energy option we have right now. That is if you believe that we're actually are in a "crisis" rather than virtue signal on the issue as you jet around the world in a private pla

Complacent? I've read some comments by Australians on this very site which lead me to believe they're 100% welcoming their upcoming fascist totalitarian police state, because they've been led to believe this will bring "

"Clarkson's Farm" was excellent by the way. I did not expect it to be as good as it was. Given that it's Clarkson I just expected him to behave like an asshole all the way through (not a dig at him, I like that he has as

Probably the same thing such folks do elsewhere: allowed some very smart people to not step on the rakes quite as often, and be even smarter by providing perspective and advice.

Actually I understand _exactly_ what they do, and how Bitcoin (and crypto in general) threatens their business model. But go on with your strawman, please.

If Jamie doesn't like it, I like it even more. At a first approximation, whatever is bad for JPMorgans and Goldman Sachs' of the world, has a high probability of being good for the rest of us.

No way. Trump derangement syndrome was (and arguably still is) on full display. Every hoax was presented strictly as a fact. Not a single positive comment on any of the policies, including the unambiguously positive things such as Israeli &

I turn on NPR from time to time out of curiosity, and immediately regret it. It _used to be_ balanced, but now it's full-on hard left. It used to be that there actually was some diversity of opinion on NPR. Nowadays you don't even

And it's exacerbating those problems by driving out its taxable rich people (who both in the US and in France pay the vast majority of taxes already) while not actually collecting all that much money. I'm not ultra rich, but you c

Government is the primary enabler of corruption in the first place. Don't know how it is in Ireland, but in the United States I can't really see it serving any other function at the moment. It abdicated all its responsibilities en

Yes, but it'll make Dublin a worse place. That's something local governments should keep in mind. Also, the top corporations OWN the governments worldwide at this point. The suggestion that any of this will significantly affect th

Ireland is about to discover how unattractive it is as a locale for multinational HQs when the playing field is somewhat more level. And I'm in favor of the move as a middle class US taxpayer and a small business owner who pays through

Sounds to me like people will have to overthrow their governments to "go back to normal" anytime soon. The lack of normalcy increases the power of those imposing lockdowns and restrictions dramatically, and they aren't going

Not anymore. Go to Redfin and see for yourself. I wasn't even looking in the "city proper", I was looking within half an hour drive to Austin downtown. I consider it dumb to buy property without any land to go with it, so I w

In this case terrible traffic is the result of buding a ton of crooked relatively narrow roads without any rhyme or reason. Family with children _cannot exist_ in most of the US without a car. Even in Austin itself if you don't have a

Even as a conservative, I strongly support the normalization of 4 day work weeks, if for no other reason than to create more competition for domestic lower skill labor (which will over time result in rising wages). A job is the best social

The traffic situation is already pretty bad in that area, seemingly deliberately so. That is the case even during the pandemic, I can only imagine how bad it is when _nobody_ is remote. It seems that progressive Austin wants everyone to mov
