@annbauerwriter @txsalth2o I disagree. (Alert the media!) The covid years simply ALLOWED the pathological rot in people's personalities to come out for air. It didn't create anything new. "A drunk man's mouth speaks with a sober man's heart." (Sure, control-freakism and Karen-ism *seemed* more prevalent.

If you think moral arguments are “impractical,” then you’ve already explained why every system you defend fails. All politics is downstream of morality. The moment you abandon principles, you're left with force, envy, and expediency, which is exactly the logic communism rests on.
Every libertarian argument is about morality. The non-aggression principle. “Taxation is theft.” None of their arguments are practical, nothing they want to do would work, nothing they want to do would actually improve your life. Just dogma. Identical to communism in that respect

This is what happens when someone projects their own envy onto the world and calls it “analysis.” If wealth came from “birth lottery,” the richest people wouldn’t be first-generation entrepreneurs. Yet the overwhelming majority are. They didn’t inherit wealth. They built it by

Nuclear is the safest source of energy on a deaths per terawatt-hour basis second to only solar photovoltaic. Your fear is irrational and based purely on superstition.
@ChrisMartzWX A distant second, perhaps, to the decisions to build Fukushima, Chernobyl and Three Mile Island.

Yes. I am. 40 million people should not be getting free food on behalf of taxpayers. That’s 12% of the U.S. population. And, a whopping 48% of those SNAP recipients are in illegal alien-led households. They all need to be rounded up and deported out of our country because they

Complete. Facts. Work on you.
The best advice I can give young Black people, whether you're in Africa or America, is this: Make yourself so valuable that they can't ignore you. You may be building a business, you may be working for someone else - it doesn't matter. Get so good at what you do that people

Procrastination is merely the avoidance of unpleasant emotions. Get comfortable with unpleasant emotions and procrastination takes care of itself.

“I’m completely convinced that our problems could be solved by 3 things.” “1. Term limits. 2. Single item bills. 3. Congress can’t stock trade.” “F*ck these people.” Is she wrong? I don’t think so!

The baby powder saga is a perfect case study in corporate corruption. 1. Sell a product you know is dangerous. 2. Make billions. 3. When you finally get caught, pay the fines from your profits. 4. "Graciously" withdraw the product as if you're doing the public a favor. We

There's only one essential food on carnivore. Not eggs. Not salt. Not pork. Definitely not chicken. Not fish. Not raw milk. Not liver. Not even butter. The only non-negotiable is fatty red meat. The one food that contains everything you need, and nothing that you don't.

When history is more thrilling than fiction... #History
In 1883, high in the rugged Sierra Madre mountains, an Apache camp faced certain doom. Mexican troops closed in, and the men hesitated—until one woman stepped forward. Taklishim, a Chiricahua sister of a fallen warrior, seized a rifle from the dead and climbed a rocky ledge.

Hi again Carolyn. I never said that global warming isn’t real. Can you please show me where exactly I said that? Quote my exact words. What I did say is that hurricane intensity and fire frequency have not increased as you claimed. Also, I am not claiming to be a

I really dislike this notion that socialists have good intentions. There is nothing good about their intention to use state force to redistribute our private property according to their political interests.

#NoLiesDetected And, I say that while enjoying ribeyes!
Ribeyes are how you eat carnivore when you're already successful, convinced, and documenting it for engagement. Ground beef is how you eat carnivore with kids, on a budget, while traveling, with no cooking experience, in any grocery store, at any income level. 80/20 ground beef

@Wiltster @SamaHoole Yes, the claims check out. James H. Salisbury, a Civil War physician, treated soldiers' digestive issues like diarrhea and dysentery with a ground beef diet (3x daily, no veggies/grains), reporting restored health. He published in 1888; Salisbury steak is named after him. Later,
