The problem being that everybody always wants to force someone else to be the one to have no children and a crappy standard of living, while they get to be one of the people selected to remain.

The arguments are interesting, but in particular claiming that it doesn't matter if the EU can no longer produce basic commodities like fertilizers or steel that it doesn't matter is pretty doubtful. It's pretty hard to maint

Given our ever-expanding definition of "environmentally unfriendly" and our ever-contracting definition of "sustainable", I'm actually not sure that anything actually makes the cut in the long run. Everything &quo

Headline is clickbaity but it is an interesting set of coincidences. I'm not sure, though, how many people there are in the set of "crypto millionaires" that would warrant being included in this "trend" were they t

The Confederate flag may not have anything to do with racism. Should we fly it everywhere then? Are black people hateful for feeling uncomfortable going places that proudly wave it?

Definitely a terrible system, as it allows Republicans to win sometimes.

I'd rather end articles about how "we must" do any given silly thing.

The main reason that we don't have free filing on the US is not because we don't know how or it's too hard or requires study -- it's because a variety of different political actors across the spectrum desire that outcome

You shouldn't be overly worried. Some companies are slowing or freezing hiring, some are doing layoffs, and a few are rescinding issued offers. It is possible that you'll end up caught up in some of that. Not super likely, but p

Over time, humans produce capital. Insofar as this capital is productively deployed, one should expect the total amount of capital stock to increase. The stock market represents only a part of the total capital stock, as not all capital is

You aren't seeing that content censored, because that content has been censored, and its posters vilified so completely, for so long, that it has disappeared. There are virtually zero republicans or conservatives on any social media si

They correctly saw that, in the run-up to the election, all the big leftist tech companies would assert themselves and silence conservatives in an effort to "prevent the next Trump situation" as Google's Jen Gennai put it las

You're welcome to build your own video platform. Of course, if Google doesn't approve your content, nobody can find it, and if Cloudflare doesn't approve of your content, it isn't actually online. And, with everybody loc

Much more than 1 in 4 will end up toast as a result of these lockdowns. Given that several states have already indicated a further 12-18 months of lockdown at minimum, we're looking at >90% of all businesses of all sorts disappearin

Watch Newsom's press conference yesterday. He said that he won't ever release the lockdown, no matter what people say or do.

There isn't anything in those guidelines about it being mandatory to support the authoritarian power consolidation. There is nothing in those rules mandating being a leftist, or putting your head in the sand, or begging to be enslaved.

Except that actually, they don't at all. They show that there are a minimum of 50x as many cases as reported, which brings the fatality rate down to somewhere between "the flu" and "about three flus" But, I know, Wa

Intentionally, to create famine, to aid the move to the new communist-totalitarian regime.

That's why putting everyone under house arrest is so effective. The left owns the online media, and they ban all non-left thought. Meanwhile, if you try to speak in person, the cops come and beat you up.

More proof that the so-called crisis is actually just a communist power consolidation.

We did gamble, though. We gambled that the virus was so bad that destroying our economy, wrecking the lives of 10s of millions of people, and seriously risking famine, was all worthwhile to slow the progress somewhat. And boy does it ever s

That's why it is so critical to keep them from it. In 10 seconds, it would be a crime to disagree with the left -- just like they've succeeded in doing online and in places like Europe. These days, each election is potentially the

That's the power of owning the education system, the media, and all of the big tech businesses. You don't need the presidency when you can make the presidency meaningless. Look at Trump -- every time he tries to take any position
