Franklin

i mean I’m glad they fact checked but… no fucking shit

at the rate the Senate’s spine is deteriorating i suspect it to slip by their scoliotic corpse within a couple years.

I mean yeah, Dems have complacent leadership but they are definitely the much better of two bad options.

My point is even if you had ideal leadership, inevitably discontent of uncontrollable externalities would cause a tick-tock cycle between the two parties as reactionaries are just part of the human condition and the party willing to play dirty will always come out on top in a two party system.

well that’s kind of the point isn’t it? every time the Republicans get in they do so much damage that it can’t possibly be done in the inevitable swing back to the left that they create and then by the time they get back in because of all the reactionaries they just do more damage

kind of the end result of a two-party system if you think about it

Ahh crap, I meant Endeavour lol I got them mixed up.

I mean as long as it’s elementary OS that might be okay

i think the number itself is fairly arbitrary. what we need to evaluate the cost of living and aggressively taxed above the point at which only exorbitantly lavish wants come into consideration.

i think this would be wildly different depending on externalities and extremely difficult to ensure fairness, while avoiding excessive means testing which can cause a lot of overhead.

it’d be interesting to hear other’s ideas. that being said it’s a lot easier to say fuck the rich than to determine an enforceable definition of excessive.

put that limit at 100 million please

I think they mean the $100 million to billionaire class. Or at least I’ve always taken it to mean that, no one in any fabricated middle class will be harmed.

CGP Gray’s rules for rulers still sticks with me.
