So, what do we do, domestic wars?
Bomb Dallas? Loudon County? Brooklyn? Tulsa?

So, wait… being America First means we can never use our military and must give up our established dominance of the globe through multiple strategic alliances?
Seems kind of dumb… no?

@rising_serpent Simple fixes:
No upzoning, ever
Rent control made illegal across the US
Squatting and/or facilitation of squatting a felony
Clear path for evictions

I can't repeat this often enough:
"Affordable housing" is a Trojan horse to transforming quiet, peaceful and prosperous high trust societies into crime infested Democrat stronghold urban ghettos.
It's a one-way street to demographic replacement and third worldism that can never be undone.

@DanFriedman81 Since Gatsby is the genesis of Scarface, a lower class outsider who mogs everyone in the upperclass by being super smart and super tough, ruthless, Fitzgerald could have made him Jewish in his drafts but decided that was too on the nose for his audience
English
@DanFriedman81 Gatsby is a romantic fabulist
He narrates his own history to suit his ends at the moment
He could have been Lutheran or Jewish, or Lakota for that matter
Mostly, he’s… Gatsby
English
It has always been pretty evident that Gatsby was supposed to be Jewish. It makes a lot more sense if Tom’s bigotry is aimed at him.
Also American class politics are not rigid enough to explain why Daisy never considers him a serious option, even when he shows richer than her terrible husband and offering to rescue her from her bad marriage. An ethnic/racial angle is always implied.
And, of course, his name, Gatz, sounds Jewish and he’s in business with Meyer Wolfsheim who is explicitly Jewish.
Not surprising that he was written as Jewish and 1920s era editors encouraged Fitzgerald to make this less explicit.

Royalty didn’t like paying interest to fund their wars so they killed their creditors so they wouldn’t have to pay it back

Multiple societies throughout history all came to the conclusion that charging interest on loans was immoral. Punishable by death in some cases. Now we've all done a collective 180 and decided it's the glue holding the world economy together? I think we got it right first time.

@OldHollowTree It might changesat 4+
My daughter averaged 2 days a month out through preschool
In TK she hasn’t had a sick day the entire year

The only thing I wasn’t really prepared for with being a father was how frequently EVERYONE is sick.
This is almost entirely because of having a child in school but dang. I’m tired.

@CoffeeBlackMD Just give me opioids until I quiet down at that point

U.S. nursing homes are fabricating schizophrenia diagnoses to hide their use of dangerous antipsychotic drugs to subdue dementia patients, a government watchdog report found. The drugs increase risk of falls, strokes and death. wapo.st/4tfSUsr

@LimitingThe It will be a super low volume halo product
Why not give it 600 or 700 miles of range?

5000 per year

The Next Gen Roadster was supposed to have more than 500 mi of range.
I doubt it still does, but I'd love to see William Shatner in one, especially if it flies.

When Tesla’s get to 500 miles per charge; I’ll think about one. BTW there’s an app that allows Waze to work. 🙄 #thinkIdontknow? 🥱😑

Clear back in the 1980s a national news team decided to do an exploration of Hunger in America and went to Appalachia, rural George, etc. looking for hunger. They found none. Zip. There WERE and ARE malnourished kids, but it's not because there's a lack of available food - it's because the adults in their lives don't prepare it for them. Kids with dysfunctional adults have it tough, but the solution isn't "provide more food" or at least that's the shortest-term solution imaginable.
Sassafrass84@Sassafrass_84
I'm seriously confused on how children are still going hungry in American schools? Our schools in Florida give every single child breakfast and lunch free. They even give kids baskets of food to take home on the weekends when there is no school. During summer they send food baskets. Why are children still going hungry? (Yes, I know this is on the parents. But our schools take care of these children. So why isn't this happening in other states?)

I honestly think this is a silly take. Why would I need them in the car. I don't need my assistant in my car just so they can grab my bag. They can be at home. There is no utility for them to be in the car with me.

NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang on Human Chauffeur Jobs During the Age of Autonomous Vehicles: “I think that jobs will change. For example, there are many chauffeurs today who drive the car. I believe many of those chauffeurs will actually be in the car, sitting behind the steering wheel while the car is driving itself. The reason is because remember what a chauffeur does, in the end these chauffeurs are your assistants, they’re helping you with your luggage, they’re helping with you with a lot of things. I wouldn’t be surprised if the chauffeurs of the future become your mobility assistant and they’re helping you to do a whole bunch of other stuff— while the car is driving by itself.” Via All-In Podcast

@herbertong Uber will buy fleets of robotaxis
They will keep 20-25% for ride hailing base load
They will lease out the rest at a high cost but with the ability to put the leased vehicles into their fleet for profit at any time
You become a partner while Uber deals with all the headaches
