@asymmetricinfo @humantransit Over correction from One Flew Over The Cuckoo Nest
English
@humantransit However, for a variety of reasons, America makes it nearly impossible to involuntarily commit severely deranged people, and Medicaid will not pay for stays in locked facilities. These were policy choices made by liberal health care wonks and judges.

If you want long-term treatment for the mentally ill, one of the things you want is national health insurance.
Stop blaming cities for problems that only national governments can solve.

@humantransit @Chris_arnade Until the cities start prosecuting and sending the severely addicted and the severely mentally ill to long term treatment away transit systems and neighborhoods, we need much more security on our transit systems. Manned fare gates that screen for intoxication and mental illness.

@Tyler_A_Harper I build grain facilities that transfer grain to barges on rivers in the Midwest. My wife and I work together.

The number of people I encounter who can’t explain their (generally “good”) jobs and/or what their spouses do is staggering. I’d love to see people try to describe what they actually do for a living in a single 280 character tweet in a way that the average person can understand.

There’s like maybe a maximum of 8 jobs where I understand what the job is. Shopkeeper. Farmer. Teacher of some kind. Priest. Novelist. Journalist. Private detective. Chef. That’s it. What is a data engineer. I don’t know.

Omar Fateh: "It is a big spending bill... $400M... It is relatively small compared to the scope of the issue of systemic racism. This country was founded on wealth extraction from the labor of black people, and that legacy will just not fade by itself."

This is the first pic of a Hinge profile. Based on your understanding of female psychology, which one of these girls does this profile belong to?

@TheAudacity_26 @joeroganhq Your continued ignorance will only lose you more elections

@joeroganhq It’s the white man of today who refuses to acknowledge the past and also refuses to bring any changes to contribute to equality - because the white man knows his privilege and wants to keep it that way, however much he tries to play dumb about it.

Dave Portnoy on why young men went right and turned against the left: "They’re anti-normal guys… the white guy became the ‘bad guy.’ And a lot of white dudes were like, ‘Well, I’m not the bad guy. What are you getting mad at me for?’"

@KyleCharters79 I once sat beside Matt’s mom flying to Denver. Our 2 year old daughter screamed for twenty minutes on that flight. Matt’s mom couldn’t have been more gracious. Wanted to crawl under a rock but none there.

Must not flick pen onto playing floor. Must not flick pen onto playing floor. Must not flick pen onto playing floor. Must not flick pen onto playing floor.

@Jimeverett @NBA I honestly can’t tell you last time I watched regular season.
English
Seriously, when was the last time you a watched an @NBA game that wasn’t a playoff game?

Great half!!! Can’t let Cadeau get to that R hand in iso situations. Love that Purdue has answered every run!!
What you think are the keys to 2nd half?
English
Oscar Cluff has three fouls and Trey Kaufman-Renn two. #Purdue needs halftime to hurry the hell up here.

Jacobsen has got to finish that bucket. He had two chances.

@MichaelSLinden But states with zero state tax do attract wealthy people. His do we square that?
English
Millionaire Tax Flight is not a real thing.
Of course, you can find instances of rich people moving (and, of course, they say it was because of taxes), but anecdotes aren't data. And the data is clear.
Rich people don't move out of state because of taxes.
Steven Fulop@StevenFulop
This is a warning for NYC as well - People can resent the wealthy, but the math doesn’t change: a small number of taxpayers fund a large share of the system. The “tax the rich” soundbite ignores how mobile people are today. When they leave, the ripple effects go far beyond taxes - philanthropy, investment, and hiring tend to follow where people live.

@TheLaurenChen They’re trading their latter years of being surrounded by family for the bright and shiny now. Let’s see how that goes.

I'm increasingly of the belief that people like this should not be given social security.
They are reaping the benefits of civilization but not doing their part to perpetuate it.
The population collapse is real, and its due at least in part to narcissists like this.

Casal é criticado ao dizer que decidiu não ter filhos para poder “viajar quando quiser”: “Filhos são muito caros, preferimos ter uma vida despreocupada.”

The consistent excellence of Gonzaga is one of the most remarkable and under appreciated stories in the history of American sports. 30-3 and another WCC championship. Just incredible.
