@PalmerLuckey @yoalexrapz The argument of “this is how USPS makes money!” is crazy. If they can’t maintain financial viability without junk mail, then privatize the operation and eliminate them completely. Think of all the wasted fuel, and wear/tear on the roads that would be saved.

It is time for the United States Postal Service to ban junk mail. Unsolicited spam calls are already prohibited by the FCC. Emails are heavily regulated by the CAN-SPAM Act of 2003. Junk mail is the majority of mail, 100 million trees per year. Enough!

@James7Holland @theallinpod The podcast is easily one of the best out there. I appreciate the diversity of topics and guests. So much great insight!

@theallinpod One of life's little pleasures is discovering a brilliant podcast you've somehow never heard of before, and then finding out there are hundreds of episodes to catch-up on. The All-In Podcast is that podcast for me this week.

David Sacks: Nonprofits need to manufacture problems in America to stay in business David Sacks: “Here's the systemic problem with nonprofits and NGOs. Let me just contrast it with business. In business, you set up a company, the company has to make revenue, it has to make profits. And if it doesn't, it's going to go out of business, right? Because it'll lose money. So there's a feedback mechanism from the market. With an NGO, nonprofit, what have you, they raise money. They don't sell things. They fundraise from donors in order to engage in an activity, but what happens over time is the actual activities may stop mattering, and all that really matters is they're able to keep fundraising, right? Because they're just trying to figure out a justification to keep going back to donors to get more and more money out of them. That's what perpetuates the organization.” Chamath: “ Why wouldn't the Southern Poverty Law Center focus on southern poverty? Which is an issue that actually still exists in some shape or form. Why do you call it one thing, focus on racism, and then all of a sudden whip up fake racism?” Sacks: “I do think that at one time in this country, civil rights was a noble cause, a very legitimate cause. We had the legacy of segregation and Jim Crow, and there were groups that were set up to basically change that, and they succeeded. But again, no one in an NGO or a nonprofit ever declares victory. When Obama got elected in 2008, regardless of whether you liked Obama or not, or agreed with his politics, I thought that at that point, most people could see that this was not a racist country. Whatever else you could say, the fact that the highest office in the land was not denied to anybody showed that this country was not holding people back based on their skin color. And instead of just basically packing up shop and saying, ‘Okay, we've achieved our goal,’ the goalposts all got moved. Remember, that's when the whole anti-racism thing started, was around Obama's second term. If they just said at that time, ‘You know what, we're going to move the goalposts from equality of opportunity to equality of results. We're going to basically make everyone equal at the finish line,’ which is to say, identity socialism. People would've said, ‘Eh, no, we're not on board for that.’ So instead, they created this whole new terminology to justify it. And it's taken us years to unpack that and realize what's really going on.”

@Kiradavis It’s incredible the decisions people will make when spending money they didn’t earn.

Seems like what he'd want done with his money. Is this a scandal or just word-count filler?

The sun was free. They sold you SPF 50 and a vitamin D deficiency. Sleep was free. They sold you an app, a pill, and a wearable that tells you your sleep was bad. Walking was free. They sold you a treadmill, a fitness tracker, and a £180 pair of trainers. Fasting was free. They sold you meal replacement shakes and the anxiety that skipping breakfast would wreck your metabolism. Cold water was free. They sold you a £3,000 plunge barrel and a podcast episode about it. Silence was free. They sold you a meditation app with a premium tier. Animal fat was cheap. They sold you seed oils, then supplements to replace what the animal fat contained. Tallow was cheap. They sold you a seventeen-step skincare routine and a clinical trial proving your face needs ceramides. Meat was cheap. They are currently selling you the idea that you shouldn't eat it. The 20th century removed access to everything the body needs to function. The 21st century is selling it back, one subscription at a time. Your great-grandmother had none of the products. She had all of the things.

@elonmusk The problem with the term “first nations” is that it’s an overwhelming generalization of the pop. of humans that were here before Europeans. The vast majority of the territory that comprises the current US was completely unoccupied until European settlers discovered & settled it

If one is to use the term “First Nations” or “Indigenous Peoples” or “Native Americans” in the Americas and Antipodes, then, in fairness, it should also apply to English, French, Spanish and other such peoples in Europe

@RyanKoenigsberg 1000000000% LFG Broncos! #BroncosCountry

Helluva season. Helluva fight given the circumstances. Bo Nix revenge arc will be a movie.

@ZacStevensDNVR @DNVR_Broncos One hell of a season! Time to rebuild and get back at it! #BroncosCountry

@ZacStevensDNVR @DNVR_Broncos Time for some CJ Anderson-esque type run! Let’s wrap this up! 🏈

@DNVR_Broncos That screen rarely works in 3rd and long

Broncos go 3 & out These weather conditions are going to be a factor

@ZacStevensDNVR One heck of a defensive stand!

Patriots had 64 yards on their first drive of the second half. They had 72 total yards in the first half.

@ZacStevensDNVR This will be up the middle again

4th down. Pats going for it. Huge.

@ZacStevensDNVR 5 straight runs up the middle and only one stop. Brutal indeed

Drake Maye takes off for a huge gain on third down. Brutal.

@ZacStevensDNVR The game is tied but the QB play is definitely not. Stidham is outplaying Mays so far

Jarrett Stidham's first half: 12/21 123 yards 1 TD 1 fumble 90 passer rating

@ZacStevensDNVR Defense is doing a fantastic job with tackling today

Drake Maye has 5 completions and has been sacked 3 times.

@JohnAhrensWSOC9 @wsoctv No worries! Story of my life 😊

@ghostwestcoast @wsoctv my fault - 1000. Typed it too fast

An idea of what we're up against

@ZacStevensDNVR Absolutely gutwrenching

Bo Nix’s season is over. What we know.

@KelbermanNFL I love Von Miller but we have a limited number of roster spots and every single one matters. We are better off filling that roster spot with someone younger who is on their way up

Should the #Broncos bring back Von Miller next season?
