- They don't realize that, conditional on having survived 249 years, the life expectancy of an empire is much more than 250 years lmao. America is going to stay with us for a long time.
- French leftist journal calling Machado "far-right". She supports abortion, gay marriage and marijuana legalization. That's how people stop being afraid of the words "far-right" and start voting for them.Le prix Nobel de la paix décerné à María Corina Machado, figure de proue de la droite extrême du Venezuela ➡️ l.humanite.fr/7e4
- Since Milei deregulated the housing market : - 200% rise in housing supply - 20% decrease in real prices !
- Replying to @captgouda24Nah, bro. Trump is an idiot, but he is a democratically elected idiot. Killing him or other members of the administration would destabilize America much more than the idiotic things they are doing. Political violence is almost never justified, and at the moment it isn't.
- This is why union busting is moral and goodWaymo is "coming to NYC" BUT: - They will have to have a human behind the wheel at all times. - They will only be allowed to operate 8 cars in the entire city. So dumb.
- Replying to @captgouda24You're calling to kill a head of state for censoring speech or jailing opponents. You realize that this implies killing the heads of states of most countries on the planet, right ?
- As Western societies become more diverse, learning from the Singapore model is going to become more and more important.
- Demand curves have been shown to slope downwards experimentally in animals, schizophrenic people, and so many more settings. Denying supply and demand is flat-earther stuff.Let us arm you with a 19th-century oversimplified model to deal with 21st-century complex systems. It won't make you a better thinker but it justifies the regressive fantasy of "self-regulating efficient markets." Let us worship and protect the totem of neoclassical economics:
- Peer rated intelligence correlates at 0.3 with measured IQ, not v. high. That could mean 2 things : 1. People are not v. good at estimating intelligence. 2. IQ does not measure what people call intelligence in everyday language v. well.
- Replying to @captgouda24You think we lack the knowledge to plan an economy, but have no problem with planning the human genome ?
- This is like holy scripture on the left. But the empirical evidence supporting this is not very strong.I truly wish people could understand these concepts.
- Replying to @CTprogressive_ and @TheAnzTruzzWanting to overthrow Maduro is not far right either
