Some parts of the Left are morons, but not the leadership, not where it counts, where the plans against the Right are made. Where as the inverse seems to be true on the Right; the some parts of the base is often smart, but the leadership are morons and there is a hardcore fringe who don't want...

The problem is he was concerned with 'Righteousness', not effectiveness, and it is not 'Righteousness' that determines political effectiveness. The Right may understand how to be 'Righteous' compared to the Left, that is not the same as understanding the Left's base and actual internal...

This is just cope, my man. CA may be a mess, but nationally the Dems have a better hold on creating 'controlled opposition' in the GOP than vic-versa, and have more control over the media and international press than the GOP. The Dems also are very, very good at making lies into reality, and...

Incorrect; the Left understands the Right better than the Right understand's the Left. They do not share the same world view, so they don't reach the same conclusions the Right does, but that doesn't mean they are ignorant that many parts of the Right want permanent, lasting control over...

Yeah, that is pretty much the best sight seeing experience by boat in Alaska for the money, time, quality, and ease of access. Or at least on a good day; sometimes the weather has other thoughts. Acrologies can work, but have to be voluntary, and access in or out cannot be cut off easily...

Whittier is not a pretty town most of the time, it's a functioning fishing, cargo, ferry stop, and tourist port with no-to-little frills. It takes a certain type to live there full time. Ah, did you the 26 Glacier cruise, or one of the multi-day cruises that take off out of there occasionally...

It's not just the weather, it's the isolation of Whittier from the rest of Alaska, as well as understanding the people who actually live there a little. The building is an old military base installation, like the whole town except some of the new buildings near the water, and for those who...

Because I've been through Whittier like 10 times in my life, spent more time in that town than I'd like in a couple cases, and can tell you very few people there live there for 'the environment', rather than because they either live or work in the town or just like the acrology life in that...

...have you ever been through Whittier? It takes a very, very special sort of person to willingly live in that sort of situation. The town only exists because it was a place the the US military in WW2 thought the Japanese would never be able to reach with recon planes and remains ice-free year...

https://unusualplaces.org/whittier-alaska/ This is a '15 minute' city already in existence, and yeah, unless people really like LARPing as living in the bowels of Courscant, it's not for most humans.

Realistically most of the EPA's functions could be split between OSHA and the Corp of Engineers without any loss in oversight to prevent industrial tragedies. Every OSHA reg is written in blood, not green fantasies like the EPA is driven by now.

Sorry, American Singapore is New Vegas, and these punks are no Robert Edwin House.

When you start think of the modern day as the pre-War Fallout or Ghost in the Shell timeline, and the US as a banana republic with nukes and Hollywood, instead of hanging onto the illusions of the past, it makes things a lot easier to deal with.

It's not about 'why' it is 'supposed' to work, it's just the reality that it does work that way now, and this is the monetary system we've been in since the dropping of the gold standard. The only reason people in the GOP think otherwise is because no one will win a GOP primary if they admit...

It's is using fiat-currency and debt trading to manipulate national-level financial policy and enable foreign policy soft-power by utilizing said debt trading, while using tax revenue to just pay down the interest on the national debt, so that it does not enter a runaway debt or inflation...

It does not work like personal debt, yes; it still exist at the national level, but then becomes almost a boone, because you can sell portions of your national debt to foreign powers on the intenrational market, and just like banks trade debts with each other all the time, so do nations states...

It seems to mostly consist of quote Reagan or Ayn Rand, bleeting about how returning 'fiscal conservatism' will surely help win the next election cycle, and sucking off the corpo's that don't openly bow to woke shit, or are part of the MIC. See, right here, this bit shows exactly what I am...

The entire Right Wing economic policy and model set is based on pre-fiat-dollar ideas of the rules of supply and demand in monetary policy. Like the idea the national debt matters, because so much of the Right still operates as though household finance rules apply at the nation-state level...

The income from sales and transactions still get taxed, so it can still generate revenue for the state. I guess classing it as extended IP is reasonable, however it also seems...too small to describe the change in 'traditional' economics that has been brought on. People want the US to be a...

There is a limit to how much physical goods there are, sure; however, the net means that people can produce 'value' without any hard goods or IP changing hands. After all, Ayn Rand never accounted for OnlyFans, Youtube, or Twitch. People literally pay the bills reacting to other people's...
