Druski profile now.
for as huge as druski is… it’s kinda crazy none of the publications who cover people far less popular than him have barely written about/have profiled him in a significant way.

anyway, taxation is this country is absolutely cooked. republicans hate all taxes (besides tariffs) and democrats will agree to all their cutesy carveouts and never reduce them. meanwhile lots of dems think the rich pay no taxes and will never countenance a broad-based tax hike.

also i'd love to read her white paper on health care reform, even a list of bullet points, what does she mean by "health insurance is a giant scam".

if you abolish property taxes, does that make it easier or harder for young families to buy homes? does it make easier or harder for older homeowners to avoid downsizing?.
Hi. We need to completely abolish property taxes. It forces us to pay “rent” to the government on property that we own, but if we don’t pay property taxes, the property that we own gets taken away from us. That should never happen in a free country. Secondly, health insurance.

what do you mean rob?
Lots of people want to blame smartphones for their obliterated attention spans. And there’s a lot of truth there. But few are brave enough to cite the real causes: tabbed browsing, application multitasking, and the “desktop environment“ graphical user interface paradigm.

The rate cuts are already not working.
We have ~100bps of cuts priced in over the next 12 months and the 10yr note remains in the exact same place. The lack of transmission from front-end to back-end might be a sign this type of overt lobbying isnt very helpful. And may even be counterproductive.

Guy who’s a weeb for East Asian trains but not the actual rolling stock but instead their operators’ innovative value capture mechanisms.

Value capture is obviously good (ask SEPTA how relying on tax revenue goes) and there’s no reason a public enterprise can’t do it too.
What people don't get about privatized rail is that the only way it works is if the rail companies can buy up huge tracts of real estate around stations, develop it densely, and basically become landlords for huge communities of captive passengers.

ah ok it was one bombing that both affected him and his house
@MattZeitlin It was a nail bomb hidden under his porch so it blew him up and damaged the house.

so when they blew up the chicken man in philly last night and blew up his house too, is that referring to two separate incidents? like a car bomb and firebombing his house? or is "blow up" just a way of saying they shot him?.
