@ick_real An agreement between you and your bank that they put up the cash and you own the housing price appreciation

@sweney_chris @richfleming08 @paulsperry_ Then you read law.justia.com/codes/us/title… And govtrack.us/congress/bills…

@sweney_chris @richfleming08 @paulsperry_ The government can’t without a warrant. And if you’re in FISC, something serious is happening (unless Dems are mad at Trump, then all standards evaporate.) But if you’d like to know what’s legal start with supreme.justia.com/cases/federal/…

@BladeoftheS They’re entitled to their opinions. Doesn’t mean they’re right.

13 workers left Palantir and issued this statement. "Palantir is increasingly complicit, normalizing authoritarianism under the guise of a 'revolution' led by oligarchs. We must resist this trend."

@xxyllinn You get a $15,575 deduction which covers $300 week for COL

It’s wild how "Business Expenses" are tax-deductible for corporations, but the "Cost of Living" isn't tax-deductible for humans. Why is a CEO’s private jet a write-off, but my groceries aren't?

@carpe_scientia @miles_commodore His standard recipe was 60% rye, 35% corn, and 5% malted barley. He also made apple and peach spirits. Mount Vernon has a distillery back in business.

@miles_commodore Do you know where we can get the recipe? We could make a killing!

DID YOU KNOW??? In 1798, George Washington produced 11,000 gallons of whiskey. It made him the single largest distiller of alcohol in America.

@LeaversvsTaker @TennesseanProud @RandyGoat I think that would smack of biasing the election. Which is potentially worse than a placeholder for less than six months

@TennesseanProud @RandyGoat Everyone wants to ignore that South Carolina had a primary weeks ago and that women wasn’t on the list

Lindsey Graham's sister will serve his remaining term. Iranian Ayatollahs have a similar succession plan. What idiot thought this was a good idea?

@TweetDisliker @haugejostein I’ve had all these debates with dumb hippies in the 80s and even 90s. Enjoy your path of discovery. In 20 years you’ll disagree with yourself now. Not interested in this marshmallow level debate.

@errorsimulator @haugejostein The American govt (ditto Canada, UK, Romania, etc) fail to do planning not because of a surplus of democracy, but because they cannot discipline capital. Rather, capital disciplines these govts. 'Democracy' (in your terminology) is a tool to accomplish this feat. POSIWID.

I often get asked what a socialist market economy is. So, let me explain. A socialist market economy is an economic system that combines elements of socialism — such as state ownership and control over key sectors — with elements of a capitalist market economy — such as a clear role for private capital, the commodification of labor, and prices being influenced by market mechanisms. The point about the state controlling key sectors is crucial. In a socialist market economy, the interests of private capital do not override the interests of the state. This is what fundamentally distinguishes China’s system from many Western capitalist economies, especially the US. It also helps explain why China has been more successful than the US with long-term strategic planning. Ownership in the financial sector is a good example. In China, the state maintains complete control over the financial system and the allocation of credit in a way we don't see in many Western capitalist economies. Over the past few decades, the Chinese state has directed money and investment forcefully in line with long-term national goals. The private sector is still important, especially in the consumer goods sector, but it is clearly subordinate to the state. In the US, the for-profit financial sector wields so much power that it often impedes socially beneficial, long-term investment. In China’s case, this strategy has been hugely successful in driving innovation, technological advancement, and economic development.

@TweetDisliker @haugejostein An accurate statement on limits of strategic planning.

@errorsimulator @haugejostein ? Behold, the first mentions of any of these topics in this entire thread. Don't get so pissy just because your injection of these libshit bromides isn't getting the glukglukking response to them that they get for you on reddit.

@TweetDisliker @haugejostein Back on planet Earth, you brought up my elections.

@errorsimulator @haugejostein Flatly incorrect. Jostein didn't mention democracy, electability or tyranny. *You* brought them into the convo. So I'll repeat: enjoy the democratic outcomes of your democratic system. POSIWID after all, don't you agree? 🙂

@hannahcrileyy Yes. That’s how it works.

Lindsey Graham’s sister randomly gets his job because he died?? Do I become a neuroscientist at Cornell when my sister dies because I’m not ready for that

@JamieBonkiewicz Your kids would be equally unsafe, but the trans shooter would have gun possession charges on top of murder charges, and admitting his/her/zur/zeu/zam trans identity would be suppressed for longer.

If Democrats were rigging elections, that fat orange pedophile wouldn’t be president, you’d have universal healthcare, and your kids would be safe at school. Be fucking serious.

@TweetDisliker @haugejostein You’re the one bringing up my elections. I’d rather talk about economics, but you set the direction, here.

@errorsimulator @haugejostein American? We are talking about democracy, not America. Do you think America is the most democratic nation?

@BadSocialisms What was kid B investing?

...this is literally capitalism. Kid A is working people and Kid B is "investors" roflmao

@YourAnonNews First, have giant offshore oil.

Teach your kids about socialism...

@richfleming08 @paulsperry_ The Patriot Act allows neither.

@paulsperry_ So the patriot act gives them permission to do it to ordinary citizens but not senators ? Wouldn’t applying a law to one group of people while excluding others be unconstitutional ?

@visiblybored @TweetDisliker @haugejostein Good government comes from good people, not the other way around. Where are you from?

@errorsimulator @TweetDisliker @haugejostein Yeah and that hardly leads to a proper society when the people are uneducated and vicious. But its good to know that you enjoy it in theory

@ChefjparkJohn @87babyFrom1900s @jamestalarico @THE_OG_G_MA But that’s state politics.

@87babyFrom1900s @jamestalarico @THE_OG_G_MA Republicans have been running our state for over the past 20 years. Our schools are subpar . Our property taxes are outrageous, and they’re building data centers in our backyards that suck up all of our water.

Lorenzo Salgado Araujo was murdered by ICE. His three sons called him “El mundo entero” — the whole world. They watched as their whole world died in a video posted on Facebook. Lorenzo was our neighbor and fellow Texan. He deserves justice.

@TweetDisliker @haugejostein That’s not an American thought. The government is here to protect the citizens’ rights. The people individually act and the sum crafts the society.

@errorsimulator @haugejostein What's wrong? I'm just saying that you should be looking forward to the democratic outcomes that your democratic system produces! You will use your democracy to craft a society that fulfills social needs on a democratic basis! 😀

@Sassafrass_84 @GdBlssAmericaMT The process is totally public and on all the USG websites. If people are uniformed, that’s their fault. When you claim Asylum you’re generally eligible in 180 days, while the case is contingent.

The illegal who tried to run down an ICE agent (and got shot and killed) had a Social Security card. We were told they don’t get SSNs, can’t access benefits, and they don’t get driver’s licenses. Yet here we are. And we’re supposed to believe they’re not voting in our elections too? Give me a break.
