The difference between plants and animals is that animals hide their genitalia where as plants show them off as flowers in the spring. Anyway it’s all lovie-dovie Until spring when they start fighting or who gets access to the sunlight.

We r a society based on Anglo-Saxon civics, a form of values laden inductive pragmatism. Per Wendell Holmes: our society is a patchwork quilt of ideologies; each used where they made the most sense & each ignored where they do not. The idea of 1 ideology prevailing over all others is a fallacy.

What r you doing about the concentration of wealth? All problems cascade from that. In the aggregate: Decency/ethics/morality r a middle class characteristic: the rich (Epstein/Trump) don’t need them; the poor (their victims) can’t afford them. (Desperate people do desperate things) Tax the rich

Studies suggest that Trumps bill will kill 50,000 of his fellow Americans next year. The Big Beautiful Bill should be called “Trump’s Big Beautiful Kill” Or better still, “Trump’s Big Bad Kill”

Our system is based on free contract. In such a system bargaining power is everything. Don’t redistribute wealth, just redistribute bargaining power & you change everything. Corporations r ownership collectives it’s only fair that they should have to bargain w/ collective labor to keep things fair.

Tim Kane @blue-bubbles.bsky.social · 24/05/2025

Actually Christ was for separation of Church&State & commanded followers as such in 3/4 of gospels. Why? Bcuz the lesson in the Prodigal Son & the importance of Free Will God wants all of us to find our way to him via our own volition. Almost impossible to make the prodigal journey w/ secular govt.

I think the scary part is the lack of flinching and the sense of certainty she resides upon when she lies. It’s as if she is showing off to the world the extent of her super-power to be able to lie unflinchingly. Quite amazing and sad and horrific at the same time.

Several nations in Northern Europe are actually monarchies and as such the monarchs are sovereigns of their country and as it happens, they are Christians and so technically speaking they are Christian nations. I actually think this works better. A king would have insisted on a new prime minister.

Leo XIV is a purposefully anti-maga pick From 1891 to 1971 Catholicism emphasized Catholic Social Teaching (CST)=the New Deal=Dem bias. Since 72 they switched sides using abortion issue. In 72 the threat was Soviets In 2025 the threat is MAGA. So it’s back to CST. CST was created by LeoXIII

One of the world’s most prestigious institutions of learning, knowledge and research cannot maintain its prestige if it gives in to the notions of a floating point idiot at every turn. Liz Cheney was probably right: Trump won’t be around for ever. That’s the day they need to be prepared for.

Can’t we create a law where it says them trying to do this is against the law? Otherwise will just keep trying to do this over&over into infinity & sooner or later it will happen. It’s like the drunk & the ditch: we don’t know when he’ll pass out into the ditch but we do know he eventually will.

That which you tax you get less of, that which you subsidize you get more of. In Germany higher education is free. (I can’t speak for China) In the United States we inflate the cost of education and put huge burdens on the young people who do our society a favor and make us smarter.

Tim Kane @blue-bubbles.bsky.social · 29/03/2025

3 of the 4 Gospels command Christians to separate church from state. Yes Jesus was advocating for secular government. Why? The reason is found in the Prodigal Son parable. God wants us to find our way to him via our own volition. Having state imposed religion makes that immensely more difficult.

Why didn’t Hillary make Bernie her VP pick and spare us of everything that has happened in the last 8 years? Remember this - she rather lose to Trump than give Bernie a seat at the table, a nothingburger at that. Please answer me.

Let’s compromise on the issue. Tell Trump that we are naming it after him and henceforth it will be referred to as “The Gulf of Lunacy.” I think the international community would agree with this maybe even Mexico itself.

It was there in the early 1930s when they tried to overthrow the election of 1932. Rightist are doomed to this bcuz their theories can never work. Bernie can point to 40 nations using policies he advocates w/populations that r happier & healthier than our own. What can the right point to? Russia?

What if it was the 2024 election that was rigged? I drove all over Johnson county Kansas (suburban KC) and did not see a single Trump sign or bumper sticker. There were signs up for everyone else including municipal offices. no Trump. How’s it possible?

If we are eventually going to have to do something, then isn’t sooner better than later? The longer we wait means the more damage is done? How many casualties can we avoid by acting sooner rather than later? Asking for a friend.

Neuroscientists hold that decision making (what to buy, who to vote for etc) is made in the emotive sphere of the mind. The emotive sphere learns slowly & mainly thru experience. We then use our intellect to rationalize what has been emotively contrived. Fox uses anger to short circuit this.

Pretty sure Trump did not hand the government over to Musk. It’s more likely like he sold it, or perhaps leased it to Musk at a rate of about $10 billion a month in personal remuneration via meme-coin scam.
