I suppose refugees and trans people don't figure into your equation because erasing them is the only way to make it balance.
It confuses me when people who argue "both sides" claim to support all those left policies when they don't appear to have empathy or awareness of the marginalized. I'm left to conclude that this brand of leftism must be based on vanity, because the only thing it protects is the ego of those who promote it.

The music industry is a microcosm of capital exploiting labor that everyone intuitively understands. Even children have a sense of outrage when they find out Taylor Swift doesn't own her old songs or that Prince had to change his name to release music.

Bongino is a former NYPD officer and Secret Service agent with three failed congressional bids under his belt. He rose to prominence as a conservative pundit on Fox News during Trump’s first term as president. He very briefly had his own show on the network before “parting ways” with the company in 2023. (His 2018 departure from NRATV prompted a failed defamation suit against the Daily Beast.)
During the COVID-19 pandemic, Bongino became one of the loudest voices against mask and vaccine mandates, which ultimately led to a permanent ban from YouTube in 2022. He currently hosts The Dan Bongino Show on the conservative platform Rumble.
It's extraordinary that while Kamala is spending the final stretch trying to expand her voter base, Trump is preaching to the choir. Ignore the "Trump exhausted" narritive. WTF is he wasting his time with this third tier clown in the middle of October?

Randomly choose 0.001% of the books.
If you think that's a bad plan, it's been the norm for the history of books.

I love the democracy vs. republic talking point on the conservative side. It's not new, I first encountered it in 2005.

The King James Bible has the phrase those who "pissith against the wall" several times. In context it's pejorative for the rude class or enemies of King David, but Christians who insist on the KJV struggle to read and understand it, and have taken it as God's own description of male. and therefore pissing standing up isn't just an aspect of masculinity, but it's essence.

What astonishes me about people like Elon or Clarence Thomas is why, at this stage of their lives, are they seeking out people to whom they are subordinate? Is it a Daddy thing?

What you say is necessary, but not sufficient to answer the question of why capitalists prefer conservatism and tolerate fascism. The problem is there is no anti-capitalist party, or even a threat of one. Democrats want line go up too.

If you multiply the HUD estimated census of homeless people by the average cost of housing it comes out to $11B annually, if by the average cost to incarcerate, then it's $30B/year. What's reasonable for administrative costs? Even if you figure 25%, that's $38B per annum max to house pretty much anyone who wanted it.
The Department of Housing and Urban Development has a budget of $40B. So just like healthcare, we already paying for it, we're just not getting it.

You are correct. I like to focus instead on those lacking shelter who've been completely alienated from society and cannot be 're-rehabilitated'. These are the people who are erased when we speak about how lifestyle or work ethic "redeem" those in extreme poverty.

For those with a skeptical nature, I hunted down these numbers.
HUD does not provide numbers to "end homelessness", they report on the state of homelessness including an estimated census of the homeless.
Some annalists have taken these numbers and multiplied them by the cost to imprison someone, or the average cost of American housing. These estimates come out to $11-30B.
So the numbers check out. The only fault I could find with this meme's claims is that they are slightly misleading in suggesting $20B could "end homelessness" without the caveat that that's only for one year.
Internet culture loves nothing more than adopting half-understood academic jargon. And more and more I'm seeing the phrase "media literacy" to mean: being smart enough to come to the correct interpretation, or even worse: being able to decipher authorial intent. I'm a 'death of the author' kind of guy, but we all should agree that any text will have multiple valid interpretations, so long as you can back it up with the text. I wanna stress that I'm not gatekeeping the phrase, I just want to promote the idea of media education over the smug notion that one person reads books better than another.

In recent events, I learned that some pagers only have receivers. How are discrete messages sent to these devices? How is it authenticated? How do they know the device got the message?
I have a recipe that calls for a dough to be autolysed (long bulk ferment while stretching and folding the dough). I'm fortunate to have access to a stand mixer. Is their any advantage to doing the autolyse? Should I just kneed it in the mixer to save time?
When Florida changed it's law to allow ex-felons to vote, I remember reading that the legislature put as many roadblocks as they could. Felons must complete all sentences, fines, and restitution before they can vote. So any sentence or sanction that can't be fulfilled by November should exclude him from Florida's rolls, right?
