I think searching for a general common solution is precisely why we are getting nowhere. It may be there are some "unpopular" opinions that turn out to be factors. Many small pieces make a large one, and important hints often co

The desperation to argue against a straw man is real. If trans people went from no school shootings to one in 2020 and one in 2023 there may or may not be a "trend" but it's still worth finding out why that is happening. Edi

I've specifically said they weren't shooting up christian schools in the old days, with no commentary on the (non-zero) number of schools shot in modern days, so I have no idea what you're even arguing against. Your whole co

In the old days trans people weren't shooting up christian schools out of frustration. I wonder if perhaps society made a mistake by so many members giving them the false impression that society should accept them for who they identif

And yet fertility rates had another strong step down around that time. One conjecture could be that fewer young women with children is correlated with higher rates of diagnosis of mental illness. And if I know I had mental illness, I'

Social rank is zero-sum. Better positioning for previously unfavored group/races is the right thing but lowers relative social rank of those above.

Suicide also appears to be a"luxury": https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/images/databriefs/401-450/db450-fig... I'd be interested in the explanation behind the aforementioned.

Do high earners consume progressively more proportion of their income in public resources than the poor? Why would you jack up their tax rate? Also note you picked the literally only one of 11 states in [0] above California that is (R).

The interesting history is people will behead even themselves to get at the elite. See everyone in Zim / Rhodesia driving out the farmers that they surely knew they needed to eat, followed by utter destruction of their foodstocks and

I wonder if fundamental ethical values are mostly absorbed in childhood or through genetic instinct. At some point it seems most people would just use greater knowledge of law, ethics, etc to either become better at arguing why what they d

Not to distract, as these are all valid concerns, but why on earth is anyone leaving anything on an exchange for longer than it takes for the deposit, transaction, and withdrawal to clear.

Couldn't you chain the derivatives to achieve the desired pair?

I think this depends on when you enter the labor market. Entry level jobs seem to often have a cutoff point of "good enough." During bad years like 2010 you need every leg up possible, including bullshit reputational advantage.

Perhaps not, but I've heard the best way to get better at something is to practice.

I prefer to go where everyone hates what I say. If I go somewhere where people agree with me, I start to get worried I'm in an echo chamber.

I'm merely advocating these individuals be given their own territory where they can pursue their dream with freedom and excellent knowledge of the content of their drugs, free from threat of arrest for possession or the irregularities

What if my child hits a rough patch and becomes the victim of a drug user? So much the better if that drug user instead chose voluntarily to enjoy all the drugs they like on Swain's Island.

The road crew knowingly helps DTOs launder money by building the interstate system known to assist with exactly that.

If I walk up to the road crew and tell them the local mob is going to be driving drugs across it the day after completion, are they then complicit when they keep going?

Honest question and not trying to disagree with you here. What are the specific customers that Binance had individualized knowledge were assisting in committing crime? I'm curious to see the sources.

Common law, like all law, boils down to if the state wants to fuck you they will find a way. I just enjoy pointing out the hypocrisies and double speak along the way.

In that case they need to prosecute all the road crews and gas stations. Those people know with certainty they are providing for criminals, and they do nothing to stop it.

Is it illegal for me to sell gas to gang bangers in the ghetto? When is it a crime to knowingly be selling to criminals? Everyone knows there are customers in Russia, and in Camden NJ, there for crime. You know with 100% certainty when y

Maybe we should just offer a one way ticket to anyone who desires to go to Swain's Island, where all the fentanyl and other hard drugs they like will be provided with pharmaceutical grade purity. Anyone caught performing property or o

Only after bank failure can you truly determine what your FDIC insurance limit was. Per Yellen's own admission it is decided by several committees after the bank fails how to retroactively apply the variable insurance, depending on wh

FDIC's reserves are less than 2% of insured deposits and far less than 1% of GDP. Perhaps the banking system is broken if 5x more spooked VCs pull their money out in similarly correlated banks means everything goes up in flames.

It wouldn't surprise me if FDIC can act quicker in taking over a small bank than a large one, though.
