One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle… Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back.

On the + side, these people are self-selecting out of the gene pool / removing their children from it. That means less competition in the marketplace for jobs. It's still a tragedy. These kids have no choice. Maybe if parents were caretakers and providers instead of owners, things might be different

It's just a sports ban. It's just a bathroom ban. It's just a healthcare for kids ban. It's just a military service ban. It's just a federal jobs ban. It's just a university housing ban. It's just a passport & visa ban. It's just one Constitutional right. It's just your status as free citizens.

That's called bankruptcy. It happens shortly after Vulture Capitalists swoop in, eat the brand, saddle it with debt, then fly away to repeat, because Vulture Capitalists are never sated.

I know that freedom ain't free, but that's not what that means. You pay taxes, then pay to access the results of those taxes. That's double taxation.

Did Ayn Rand hate Labor Day? Or did she believe that everyday should be Billionaire Day, instead of merely 364 of them? 🤔

Carl Sagan noticed that small children are inquisitive, but teens weren't. If capitalists could beat curiosity and imagination out of kids faster, education would be less than 12 years. Or get rid of childlabor laws and solve the childcare at work problem with corporate-sponsored families.

How do you think farming works? Parse the land. Have someone else work it. Hang around City Hall. Legally define "farmer" as the land owner. Pass laws benefiting farmers and buying up excess produce.

Maybe - crazy idea coming - people could not be dicks and stop shitting on everyone. We claim to hate bullies and then cheer them on. I'm going to get nailed to a tree for saying, "Why can't we all try being nice to one another for a change?"

A quote saying "I did my own research." Below is a picture of Inigio Montaya telling Vizzini in The Pricess Bride movie, "You keep using that word. I don't think it means what you think it means."

"Thoughts and prayers" coming from a person in no position to help is fine as a sentiment of condolence/social support. Coming from politicians who withhold gov't intervention, like during the AIDS crisis, is abhorent disregard for human dignity. The intent is more important than the actual words.

Gun nuts point to Switzerland, but fail to understand the difference. They respect guns and skill. Unlike Americas who crave creating fear they mistake for power and respect.

There is something Darwinian about a group of people selecting their children out of the gene pool. Unfortunately, they'll take a lot of others out as well.
