You care about the small investor sooo much they shouldn’t have a choice in the matter.

Choice should be for rich people and small investors are mean stinky crypto bros if they think otherwise.

Amazing what “pro choice” ppl come up with

The people who write the movies, build the sets and act in the films are in guilds. Surprised there wasn’t a more direct-to-consumer avenue to explore. Maybe they could bootstrap a production and distribution guild.

He’s obviously talking about SUVs which have no constitutional protection. We need to get assault-style vehicles off the road. Unfortunately the powerful auto lobbies won’t let us.

> the government could just print money and let people stay at home.

This is your understanding of economics and you’re going around telling people they’re wrong. It’s okay to just admit you have no idea and ask a question rather than make a statement.

Non sequitor. They're optimizing for money. Contrarian status: weak.

I mean FB engineers are specifically optimizing for toxicity at an algorithmic level. It’s the product. You can’t perform controlled experiments to measure the profitability of depression and also fiend ignorance.

You’re all very welcome to whatabout but working at FB is a stain on your character.

Do people ask themselves why Obamacare was politically viable?

None of the entrenched interests really seemed to mind.. Wonder if Obama does that wink to his PE friends when they meet

Marx is neat but theory of value money credit and time pref is much better understood under an empirical framework so much so I’m sure even drunken Karl would agree.

This one too. “We’ve always been at war with Eastasia”.

We’ve always known the NSA spies on Americans. We’ve always known ISPs were involved in dragnet surveillance. We’ve always known the CIA assassinated Kennedy

Those “underperformers” aren’t being helped in either case. If we can dilute these problematic people into the general population maybe we won’t notice the pool smells distinctly like urine - aka the kiddie pool.

Education isn’t hard or expensive. Providing therapy for years of trauma and neglect is. Trying to focus on algebra when your home life is totally whack is hard. Otherwise what’s the cost of education.. chalk and plastic chairs?

Valuing public welfare is great, but so are the virtues that promote healthy families. Education is done by parents and there’s lots of adults with children who aren’t parents. Personal responsibility is a concept that will actually enrage otherwise intelligent people

> Perhaps they want their community to shun them, which is a good and noble resolution to the general problem of someone exhibiting abhorrent behavior

We can make them walk around wearing pieces of flair so we can easily identify them.

I see why you may want to tug at this thread but I wouldn't.

People driving around in trucks identifying you isn't going to play out in favor of whatever zionist fantasies you may hold lol. The adults in the room saying walk away "get it".
