Republican politicians are Government Raiders. Slash services for the middle class, turn it into handouts for the rich. www.cltampa.com/news/florida...

And now, with laws of oppression restricting them from even using the bathroom, politicians encouraging threats of violence - the statistics are going down. Not because there are fewer, but because there's more hate.

Just tax gasoline. Redistribute the income to every citizen. People will switch to EVs on their own, no ban required. Easy. www.cbtnews.com/newsom-rever...

In "The 57 Bus," a 16 year old boy commits a pretty awful crime. I was describing it to a friend, how the book has 1 side demanding they put the boy to death, and the other side wanting to pursue Restorative Justice. My friend said "I agree, just kill him."

Replacing invasive species like dangerous eucalyptus trees can reduce wildfire danger in California. But maybe we need environmentalists to step up with how tos and gardening recipes citizens can use, instead of just getting paid to take photos in a park: www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Universal healthcare in every developed nation is "rationed care" because they're "socialism." But US care is rationed. Both by overcharging us, bankrupting us, and even if you have money, denying you care with endless hurdles to jump through: freakonomics.com/podcast/slud...

The Trade War has caused mortgages to get more expensive. Countries have sold off US Treasuries, which has forced the US to raise the rate it pays, so someone will take its debt. You can see below mortgages (yellow) follow US Treasury rates (blue) almost exactly: newslink.mba.org/servicing-ne...

Gambling at a casino means you lose all your money over time. The stock market is like gambling except the US economy generally grows. Buying a big US Index Fund like SPY, will make you, on average, 20% a year. Never go to a casino, but, always bet on the US economy. SH past 5 years:

The end of Tagalog Trump: President Duterte was elected in the Philippines using very similar tactics to American Republicans. Where Republican politicians scapegoat immigrants, Duterte scapegoated drug dealers. Duterte flat out killed his scapegoats. www.npr.org/2025/03/11/g...

In the 2024 election, we voted for ballot initiatives that expanded rights, but, politicians bent on destroying them. What if Representative Democracy is the problem? Why vote for candidates and cults of personality at all? Maybe we should just vote on the issues: www.cnn.com/election/202...

The Rays wanted to stay in St Pete, if St Pete paid them $.5-1 billion in taxpayer money and St Pete gets back 0.0% profit share. The Rays are valued at $1-1.25bil. So for just a little more, St Pete gets the whole team, all its land back and keeps all the revenue. www.forbes.com/teams/tampa-...

Putin will happily go after someone else if Ukraine falls - we're not as far removed as it might seem at first glance

If you doubled wages at this hypothetical pizza restaurant, prices would only need to rise 24%, to pay that wage increase of 100%. Everything is too expensive. We *need* wages to go up. Don't let people who know 0 about economics scare you with "prices will double." That's a lie.

This ship uses oddly rigid sails to carry freight between France and North America. The sails provide most of its movement, but it drops down to fuel for about 20% of its journey. With a switch to batteries instead of fuel, these ships could operate with no fuel at all. youtu.be/NaStMHMhTYM?...

I love cruising. Guns are banned so ardent gun nuts boycott the cruiselines. And racists frequently comment on reviews that they hate dealing with black people so they don't go. Cruises are where America's worst remove themselves, for free. Party on at the Lido Cam.
