We decided company stores were an unacceptable way to tie a person's necessities to their employer, so we replaced them with employer-sponsored benefits, where the necessity is no longer cans of soup but medical care. Progresso.

I have a plan. Encourage petroleum use. Make cities unwalkable. Call remote work woke. Shit on EVs for decades. Pull the tax credits when they start catching on. THEN manufacture a global oil-price nightmare! A few get filthy rich. Everyone else suffers. Can I be leader of the free world now?”

A two-party system is a profoundly bad idea, leading to wild swings in policy and political gridlock. The fact that ours isn't even a formal two-party system, but a 250-year-old emergent property of constitutional compromises, bad math, and “surely nobody will form political parties” is just icing.

You know how the Smurfs use “Smurf” for everything? Smurf Village, Smurfette, Smurfberry, etc. It's almost like at some point they had a deranged leader who just started renaming everything. “LAKE SMURF.” Then you notice there are almost no women. Whatever happened here, the women got out.

I miss the giving, and receiving, of directions. It was such a art. A blend of memory and storytelling. Would you get road names? Landmarks? Would the directions be correct enough to get there? How long is "about a mile"? Just a bit of adventure in every trip.

In Star Trek: The Next Generation’s “Attachment,” we see that even confident and decisive Picard is sometimes guessing when action is required. WHEN ACTION IS REQUIRED. That’s the part many “leaders” miss. No one wants you improvising without cause. Stop doing it.

It is deeply saddening how many people view Trump as the disease instead of a symptom. Until we fix the core issues- anti-intellectualism, the elevation of tireless self promoters, antiquated election systems, fundamentally immoral and wasteful policy positions- things will not magically get better.

In a few years, the right will blame MAGA for all the wrongs they committed. They will all vilify MAGA and deny ever having been a part of it. Any evidence they did will be shrugged off, called a one-time mistake. MAGA will be 'othered', but the rot will remain.

One of the strengths of academic debate is being required to argue both sides of an issue. That discipline builds understanding rather than performance. I’ve yet to see “debate bro” influencers do it. If you can’t seriously engage the opposing argument, you’re not insightful, you’re a talking head.

Americans are pinning their hopes on the midterms. The rest of the world is pinning its hopes on Americans. Democratic leadership has shown elections alone won’t fix structural failures. Americans need to demand real solutions. Everyone else should plan for greater independence and better alliances.

Policies that ban independent online sex work don’t stop trafficking, they strengthen it. Trafficking thrives on poverty, debt, and dependence. Legal, direct income reduces coercion and middlemen. Moral panic harms workers and protects exploiters.

The GOP, after seeing it worked last month, has already set up a rotation of 4 members of the House who can help defend their moderate districts by taking turns pretending they care about Americans. Meanwhile, the Dems still have no answer to Project 2025 which was released 20 months ago.

We need a property tax for people whose property happens to be financial. Homes are taxed on value every year, and portfolios over $1M should be too. With multi-year averaging, it’s simple, fair, and would help stabilize markets. We should have started this in the 80s, but now would be good too.

People are already speculating on 2028 candidates. I don't care who it is, so long as they vow there be a reckoning on every member of ICE, DOGE, DOJ, DOD, etc who violated the Constitution in cuffs.

Since 2000, official CPI inflation has averaged ~2.55%, halving the dollar’s value since 1998. But if we revert to pre‑substitution CPI methodology from the 1990s, inflation averages almost 5% annually, which suggests the dollar's value halved since around 2009. Which sounds more correct to you?

The lesson from the last year from both parties is that they only care about the people when there is an upcoming election. Once the election is over, promises and even pretending to care vanish in short time. The solution is obviously- hold more meaningful elections, shorten terms for all offices.
