Go, go Bernie! He is old enough to deserve to yell at clouds all day, but he chooses to keep fighting. Do we even deserve politicians this good?

All of these comments are thoughtful and substantive.

But none of them consider the fact that some people are just plain oblivious.

You know, morons.

Ok so it’s just a math problem, then. Inheritance is taxed and incurs other costs, so there’s some re-distribution. Plus with multiple heirs, the estate may be divided.

So keep shooting for another couple of months. I’m just saying, it’s totally doable, it will just take a bit more effort.

I give this post 3.5 buttholes.

I felt bad upvoting that story. Tragicomic but so illustrative of how media distorts reality

She has one job on that ship. It’s stupid but she’s gonna do it!

You are correct. Bone Apple Tea!

I would like to hear the author’s take on pornography porn.

Bad hair day? Democrats.

Correct, not insider trading, just an egregious abuse of power justifying his removal from office.

That type of abuse is tragically common in my direct personal experience. God help any neurodivergent or non-conforming kids in that culture. My folks weren’t sadistic like that, but still extremely invalidating.

Please be kind to anyone you meet who is trying to get out of their grasp. They definitely need your help. It takes incredible strength to commit the social suicide necessary to get away from them.

These are their names. I said them over breakfast. They are dead, I cannot bring them back. I can only fight back by not letting them be completely erased from memory.

Nope, she is smack-dab in the statistical middle of that culture. Mormons work very hard together to prop up their delusional and harmful system. She was endorsed, enabled and socially rewarded by everyone around her in real life, not just online.

Mormon. Her religion is Mormonism and she received a great deal of social validation for her delusions leading up to these crimes.

Even the ‘nice’ Mormons believe terrible dangerous things, they deserve a share of the blame for a culture that normalizes fantasy.

That’s why I only drink rainwater and grain alcohol.

This is a major life lesson many never learn.

Suck up to the CEO for appearances sake, but be genuinely kind and grateful to the admins. It’s amazing how good relationships with the people who do the actual work make things easier.

Real professionals care about the public perception of their field. Every major professional gathering in the sciences has a session focused solely on discussion of their jargon and how to communicate effectively with the public.

Why don’t economists care about the public perception of their field?

It would be flabbergasting to think they don’t care, until you realize they are a priesthood, not a profession. They serve the narrow interests of a small group. That group is well-served by denigrating working people.

While there are scientific approaches to the study of economics, the version of economics that makes it into the news is decidedly unscientific.

Because it is inaccurate, simple as that.

Then use the term fungible labor.

Words matter.

Be sure to use the handy applicator device!
