These are hard times, and more are coming. And I don’t exactly remember the quote, but it’s along the lines of:

“When a run-away team of horses is headed off a cliff, the driver can sometime be seen encouraging them on, presumably, since he knows he cannot stop them, he at least feels some sense of control over the situation.”

Well, clearly you are not a bot on reddit then.

Adam something is such a strange name, too.

Timmy has a competing lemonade stand with your kid, and he charges $1 for a glass and you charge $3 for a glass. Rather than lowering your prices, you place a $2.50 tariff on any lemonade from Timmy in your neighborhood. Now everyone pays $3.50 for his lemonade, and it only makes sense for your kid to charge $3.50 as well, because Timmy’s lemonade has to get to your neighborhood while yours is local, so why not pocket that 50 cents.

In this scenario, Timmy cannot sell his cheaper lemonade to your neighborhood at a cheaper price. Everyone in your neighborhood must pay the new inflated price. People in other neighborhoods will go to Timmy, so only your neighborhood buys your lemonade, although some people will try to circumvent the tariffs by buying Timmy’s same lemonade for $2 in a neighboring area.

Populism is fairly simple, you just parrot the following talking points:

The system isn’t working. I am fighting the system. Elect me and I’ll take the fight to them.

What isn’t working should be as vague as possible, so the voter believes it is the thing they’re angry about. When elected, the candidate should continue to complain about the system and crow about how hard they’re fighting for you, so you keep voting for them.

Unfortunately, this eventually leads to you actually passing legislation that makes everything much, much worse than it was. You can keep blaming the other side, but eventually, the jig is up.

Not enough “sha na nas” or “na na nas” to save the children in that song.

That windmill in the foreground with the blue door is where they hold second breakfast.

I would suspect it’s a humility issue. It’s a constant challenge, for me at least, to be vulnerable about my weaknesses and not be bull-rushed by other men seeing an opportunity to push me down. Fortunately I’m the boss now, so I can set an example that I can be wrong and trust others to say I’m right, or step back and admit a weakness that another can cover.

States are absolved of patent law, so I keep hoping the west coast will make a compact where each state makes a major drug for their state health care plans and they share across.

Wow. Unexpected “thanks, Obama.”

Ladies, his eyes are down here.

Narrator: and that one post on Lemmy changed the time line - there were no Bell Riots, and mankind did not change their outlook on compassion and social unity.

Hard core trekkies would time travel to do it.

We are now officially internet friends.

I always wanted him to have a big twirly mustache, and try to tie a damsel to the tracks as the enterprise was about to come by.

But they were all of them deceived. For another ledger was forged. And in it he cast all his treachery, his malice, and his personal expenses.

Undeleted?
