This take is the fastest filter to determine someone is just irredeemably stupid. Like don’t both trying to explain to them level of dumb.
UNPOPULAR OPINION: Property taxes should be like sales tax. When your home is paid off it should end there. You shouldn’t have to pay taxes ever again.

Just saw this ad during Face the Nation.
Now the government pays for Trump's social media posts to be on TV? Seems a little communist if I'm honest.
“Paid for by the U.S. Government”: The Trump administration is airing a taxpayer-funded, pro-Trump ad on Fox News and Newsmax featuring Trump declaring: “America will never be a communist country,” while on-screen text touts the “largest tax cuts in history.”
The White House defended the ads, calling them “public service announcements.”

Given the current discourse, it’s important to remember that the overwhelming majority of people do not participate in hookup culture and are not promiscuous.
There’s a small number of slutty people in the world and they’re probably not in the same dating circles as you.

a lot of people on the right have this sort of pre-modern view of civilization where the only thing that matters to the success of a nation is the essential nature of its population—but the truth is that the systems we swim in are deeply important.
"If Indians are so smart why is India a shit hole".
Well, the country only got independence in 1947. It's only 79 years young. Western countries had a 200-500 year headstart.
You have no clue how much innovation is currently happening in India.
Rome wasn't built in a day.

I thought I hadn’t heard it but then I pulled it up on YouTube and it’s literally the just generic country song I’d heard most recently heard in the grocery store 🤷♀️
What Some Folks Really Mean When They Claim to Have Never Heard ‘Choosin’ Texas’
Proclaiming you're unfamiliar with Ella Langley's record-setting song has a lot in common with saying "I listen to anything but country."

It’s a fine song! It’s actually somewhat more country than I expected for some reason? Like it would’ve been right at home with what my aunt played in the car when I was a kid, more capital C country than a lot of country that crosses my ears?

There is no free market solution to making schools better: the market would simply shut down the bad schools and the bad students just wouldn't go to school. The market does not make costs go to zero nor supply to infinity, it makes them go to/equilibrium/. Universe of difference

it’s interesting how many rationalists are qrt dunking tautologer and saying he’s unfairly speaking for all women and…ignoring all of the women who are agreeing with him.
this is a huge part of why making events like this a central part of your community is bad. it creates a culture that is toxic and hostile to women

Tive um estagiário que entupia o vaso da firma dia sim dia não e fingia que não era com ele. Sempre sobrava pra mim e pro meu colega resolver. No início não queria constranger, pensava “acontece”. Mas ficou tão recorrente que um dia saí do banheiro aos berros +

"Modern dating is making a lot of young singles feel defective. Almost all the advice out there starts with the same assumption: There is something wrong with you. Work out more. Earn more money. Heal your inner child. Looksmaxx. Optimize every inch of your face and body and life to finally be lovable. Become the best product on the market." @freyaindiaa thefp.com/p/heres-where-to-f…

Most folks assume this means there are huge profits that could be painlessly wrung out of healthcare to make it cheaper. In fact it's evidence of a highly opaque system of cross-subsidies. They can afford to offer discounts to uninsured folks with limited ability to pay--but that doesn't mean they could survive by offering those prices to everyone.
I knew a Mennonite who said, since they were uninsured, they always paid medical bills in cash. When the bill came they would say, "No, for real, what's the real bill?" Immediate 1/2 to 2/3rds reduction when "insurance" didn't get involved and take their cut.
