   What if we're looking at this the wrong way? What if the real problem is simply with the idea that we should have 1930s-style central planners that manage the roads? Why do we simply assume that we will continue to have surface streets

   Of course not. I'm merely saying that many people that support the wealth tax are looking at it from the perspective of getting back at the boomers. They are onto something, insofar as that generation did support policies that really d

   What about the fact that those homes are not equally distributed geographically? There are reasons people prefer to live near their families, workplaces, places with good weather, etc.

   Wealth taxes are a bad idea because they target everyone with wealth, regardless of the actual views they hold, regardless of the degree to which they have personally contributed to the collapse we are facing. The real inequality we have to

   I am not surprised by this one bit. I've been looking at these charts daily, and it's a bit silly to need confirmation from a study: https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/us/

    This won't help directly, but Eric Weinstein is pissed off about the same issues, and he has some pretty good thoughts about ending paywalls and increasing funding for basic scientific research. https://www.youtube.com/

    The funny thing is that in the 1950s, the Soviets definitely worked to project images of modernity, and people were shot for trying to smuggle such images out. These days, if you only look at the images concretely, without making use of pol

    I agree with you about this being a double standard. NYT has clearly stated that they obtained Trump's tax records through an anonymous source, i.e., through means no more legal than Trump's sources on Biden: https://ww

    "Safety concerns" don't matter much if you're on your deathbed. Us plebes can clearly see that the president, an obese man in his 70s, was treated and is doing great. He has offered to bring that same treatment to the re
