  1. Whether soft, or social, it’s got the decision makers by the balls.
  2. I’m still trying to puzzle out where “appearance of impropriety “ came from if it isn’t a thing.
  3. I clearly read: “paper loaded correctly.” The jam happened upon printing.
  4. South of town, the thunder reminded me of the Summer storms of my childhood, in North Central Texas.
  5. Here’s proof I am often petty. Hey, @DalTxHornFan ”Related to this is the fact that the Economics Nobel isn't actually a Nobel at all – rather, it is part of economism's drive to subordinate evidence-based science to economicist ideology. The prize was created 73 years after the Nobel by Sweden's finance sector, who backed it with a perpetual grant, in a bid to establish that economics was a science:” https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/the-economics-nobel-isnt-really-a-nobel/
  6. As I suspected, the economists have ignored their critique from this guy, Doctorow, who has shown his work, and whose primary objective is to hit the bullet points from a book called “the Great Transformation,” by Karl Polanyi.” While a critique of Polanyi’s theses would be interesting, it is not my purpose. I’ve quoted Doctorow’s take on the meat of Polanyi’s book. Anyway, there’s much more to think about here. I will submit again the original link. https://pluralistic.net/2022/10/27/economism/#what-would-i-do-if-i-were-a-horse
  7. I offered his thoughts as counterpoint. You can attack him, or what he says. Hus ohservation that the progress of the New Deal is being acrively dismantled is right on the money. His claim that the success of programs like SS are dismissed as naive and unworkable by folks like you is also correct. But, folks like you, not you, per se, but folks armed with Friedman and the like preached fallacies that decades of contrary data still haven’t silenced. An example being the benefits of trickle down policies. Biden halved the deficit this year. The Rs are committed to a plan with a 3T price tag. There’s more. It’s late. I will probably pick this back up tomorrow. Feel free to dismiss whatever you care to ignore, or, show your work.
  8. Hey, @immamac, this seems like a big deal. Is it, or nah?
  9. This woman is awesome.
  10. It is telling that @Anastasis attributes Republican policies to “society,” as well, when almost half the country opposes those policies, and, of the states that ban the death penalty, the overwhelming percentage of them are blue states.
  11. One that is spent, used up, and a little shell shocked, I’d guess.
  12. There’s a political Party rife with similar thinkers. But, it isn’t the Republican Party.
  13. You must have read about Republican plans to cut Medicare and Social Security. Pointing out that you are voting for the Party with an agenda of social Darwinism is hardly a straw man argument. Thanks, though, for correcting my spelling.
  14. Might be the final destination for the Brackenridge Research program, if UT is looking to sell more than just Muny.
  15. Never ceases to amaze, does it, what reasonably intelligent people will deep throat, while denying that balls are on their chin?
  16. Username does not check out.
  17. First Surly responses are, as well.
  18. As a proponent of freerer speech, I frequent CR, and reflexively posted this there. This belongs here, though.
