The more I look at the effects of globalization, the more I think free trade is akin to Reagonomics. Basically a huge scam for everyone in a developed country, except the owners of megacorporations. It destroys our ability to manufacture, d

I agree with most of your post. One small quibble though: > There's something admirable about the idea that a government would not take away all the guns. The whole point is that the government Can Not take away guns, not that they

This mirrors what I've seen personally. I shoot quite a bit, and had a lot of friends reach out about advice on buying a first gun. Fears were largely around the general civil unrest and BLM rioting last summer. I've heard several

That is an extremely naive view of the world. Many places in the world have long response times for police. A home invader is now going to wait patiently for the police to come save you. Revolutions against tyrannical government are quite d

That phrase is generally attributed to Rham Emanuel [1], and the sentiment is discussed in Saul Alinsky's Rules for Radicals (page 89, Communications). Rather large showing of bias to try to attribute that saying to Republicans. 1: ht

A company with 100 $250k/year engineers would be billed about $250k/year for this license. Any half competent manager is going to realize that money would be better spend on a single engineer focused on tooling, who can replace Do

Are you saying that someone being given an economic advantage by their parents means that their accomplishments have less merit? I'm not trying to straw man you, I'm just having trouble parsing your argument.
