You were finding evidence for a different goal post you shifted to, that when applied applies even more harshly to the nuclear team.

I said 'the public voted for someone openly stating they'd carry out DOGE.' They moved the goalposts to what fraction of voters were questionably polled to know about DOGE, because my claim is pretty much irrefutable. Then w

You're literally talking about moving violence enforced slavery to something closer to voluntary trade of labor. That's far from exclusively Marxian, even most brands of ancapism advocate such philosophy.

Absolutely privatize them all. The roads for miles around my house are private easement (no tax) that are publicly accessible and it works beautifully. I built my own roads to access my land and it's great, my property taxes are near

The mythos often presented is mass wealth inequality is incompatible with raising of living standards of the poor. The poor can gain something at least temporarily by taking it from the rich. Another less violent option is mutually benefic

Less than 19% knew what the nuclear safety team was, so be careful with the point you're making. There was probably more informed consent for DOGE than many eliminated positions.

Yet the public voted for someone openly stating they'd carry out DOGE. Majority is just a collection of tiny minorities, in this case my minority opinion partially aligns. As it turns out minority isn't aways what you think.

Unless nirvana is at 100% it has to stop somewhere. What im saying is it didn't continually go up during periods of like growth, and it's not clear such high federal spending is necessary or helpful in improving the human conditi

You chastise the comparison but then admit they're much alike, did you think that a complete accident. Obviously two different times are two different times but it's hilarious the hypocrisy you often see of regulatory proponents

Feds consumed <5% GDP during most non-war time between civil war and WW1. During which time standard of living and economy rose about as much during the post WW2 period of massively growing government and regulation. It's hard to t

Sorry, they are servants of the public. Maybe they ought not have been fired, but their feelings are 2nd place when their salary is funded predicated on men with guns forcing people to pay up. Maybe my feelings are hurt and I hold a grudge

It is objectively false in the same sense it is 'false' to suggest renters pay property tax. They don't sign the check, but the costs of tax burdens are often captured in the prices of goods/services offered by rich comp

Could we privatize the arsenal to increase efficiency?

The value wasn't lost, it was consumed. You're looking at what it was consumed to achieve, in the election results.

What I'm having trouble getting past is the hypocrisy of building my home on sold public lands while telling the youth 'sorry got mine, go fuck yourself, you can't do the same thing that made my land ownership possible.'

Are you familiar with everyman's right in Nordic nations? I think a balance can be struck that provides a relief valve for those who need a dwelling while providing access to rugged wilderness. They could be recorded as covenants und

Because as we've seen the 'public' land is actually materially controlled by a tiny minority, many of whom are in cahoots with corporate interests, which is now coming to a head. Since it generates next to no revenue as a pub

It would be nice if it were more accessible, but for a cup of coffee a day you can get an annual hunting lease and more or less treat it as a personal park. There is a vast assortment of them available in Texas, some complete with cabins e

Someone (read most people west of the Mississippi at the very least) is in possession of homesteaded or sold land and without that we'd be in an even more serious housing crises. There is an element of hypocrisy. We ought to share our

Which coincidentally is what most Americans can trace their deed back to, save a small fraction that was privately chartered by order of the king from the get go.

There's not just RICO, conspiracy and stuff like felony murder all put the whole organization who make violence happen on the chopping block. Of course this organizational blame is enough to put citizens in a cage but by God the citize

It does seem to be a complicated calculus. At small scale, I come from a depressed Midwestern area. They lowered/cut property taxes but only for rich corporations like Amazon, to bring them in. End result was massive increase in emplo

They as in a number of federal employees responsible, often hated. I don't blame all of them, but the feds themselves set the standard of blaming the whole organization for violence eg rico act. It is hard to blame haters when they ap

They stood on the ruble of burned children at Waco to pose in glamour photos, sniped an innocent woman at Ruby Ridge, and drone striked a US citizen overseas. Hate is not unreasonable .

I also like expenditures as % GDP. It was generally far below 5% federally during non-war periods between civil war and ww1, and for most that time no income tax for regular workers. We also had pretty solid growth in that period, pretty

Milton Friedman painstakingly designed the income tax withholding precisely to facilitate increased spending. Given his great body of works and actual experience in implementation, I don't think his opinions are brushed away by your s

Milton Friedman seems to think ending tax deduction at payroll might work, since forcing people to write a fat check every year will get them screaming to their reps or electing frugal reps.

I don't care if he raped 12 nuns, he was unable to get a fair trial so his escape was just. Japan's justice system is a farcical.
