@_JONBLAZE @andybaggett22 @GuyDealership I’m 2 years into owning a 2017 XC90. It’s like dating a supermodel. Lots of little expensive plastic bits in the engine. And be sure you test the west heater if you buy in summer. 😉 Most beautiful thing I’ve owned and a joy on the road.

@andybaggett22 @GuyDealership Same, curious about xc90 as well. Is it better to get new or used? Also, is CarMax good option with warranty for repairs?

BMWs are to be leased, not purchased.

@BullandBaird @GuyDealership I’m in a 2017 XC90, and it’s been less than impressive. Repairs are costly. On my third “minor” engine issue. It’s a dream to drive, and it’s beautiful, but I doubt I’ll get another.

@GuyDealership Any takes on buying a recent Volvo SUV out of lease?

@JennyErikson We bought a Keiser and an iPad. Pay monthly for the Peloton app. Use the iPad for other things around the house. Keiser bike is a brick house.

So what do I need to know about buying a peloton bike?

@BuenoForMiami I have mixed feelings about this. If he wants out, you have to ask why. Many of high school’s challenges are necessary to learn to develop relationships and coping with doing the things you don’t want to do.

My 15 year old son says he wants to get his GED instead of his high school diploma. I can’t think of a single compelling reason to tell him to stay in school, can you?

Again: @GovPritzker extended his #Covid19 Disaster Proclamation for #Illinois for the 37th time, a period that now stretches 1,000+ days. These declarations mean more federal aid for Illinois and that means more #inflation, more dependency, and fewer rights. #twill @chicagosmayor

The @nytimes is a primary source of misinformation. I was right, they publish lies for the highest bidder.

@RBReich You nailed it. Except for that garbage about the unions. They don’t fuel anything. They are a large bureaucratic parasite. And worse, they encourage men to be sheep.

When America had a large and growing middle class, fueled by strong unions and good public schools,fascism didn’t stand a chance.

@ChicagoContrar1 If this boy had a father who loved him, he wouldn’t have stolen that car. And it wouldn’t cost the rest of us a dime.

If Chicago had jobs programs, offered free housing, free public transportation, free health care, free college, raised the minimum wage, guaranteed income and a job, and forgave student debt, this 13-year-old Chicago boy would have never stolen this car. audacy.com/wbbm780/news/l…

Thread. Read it and vote the bastards out.

@MichelleMaxwell Cancel all social programs and ask churches to handle social issues and poverty.

What would the Founding Fathers want us to do if they were alive today to save our country?

@JoJoFromJerz Maybe he’s a better man…

I’ll never understand how Texas could have picked that evil asshole Abbott over Beto. I’ll just never understand it.

@AlinDragu @oliviercantin @RyanHoliday Thank you! I’ll pick it up. Merry Christmas!

@ADeters5 @oliviercantin Great book! It’s like an entry level dive into everything @RyanHoliday writes as a whole. Really good!

What book are you reading during your Christmas break?

Every study of mask mandates should have this as their last line of the conclusion (looking at you NEJM): “Observational studies of interventions are prone to multiple biases and provide insufficient evidence for recommending mask mandates.” sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

@BowTiedPrtFish Yep

@Positive_Call The man in the arena…. Teddy Roosevelt

@oliviercantin John Adams by McCullough. Reading Hamilton made me dislike Hamilton. Reading Adams is having the opposite effect.

@AlinDragu @oliviercantin How’s the Stoic book?

@oliviercantin This is my list right here :)

@christopherrufo Two of the best on my bookshelf are The Alienist and Killer Angels.

I'm looking to read some fiction. Recommendations?

@TheClassicalCon @johnhawkinsrwn @christopherrufo I love Rand. She’s rational.

@ben_gramfitness Nope.

If gym memberships were free and paid for by the government, do you think we would see lower obesity rates?
