I admit to being a grinch-like person, but the fact that trans activism undermines things like scholarships for women is to me the biggest reason to support it.

Ideas that sound plausible to me:

is there a name for the idea that when political parties try things against their usual tendency it isn't as dangerous because they aren't under the same pressure to hide results and double down?
i agree with you that price controls are not a good intervention but i don't fear republican price controls the same way i do democrat instituted ones, because i believe there are plenty of powerful republican constituencies that can get them removed when bad results happen

does anyone happen to know how reddit /r/all correlates to the real popularity and engagement of the content? i ask because it seems like the current state is for junior high caliber political content from subs like "murderedbywords" and "clevercomebacks" to be at the top of "hot". somehow i just can't believe this is the most popular reddit content, probably because i'm in denial.

elon recently tweeted that he thinks social security fraud is likely in the range of 10-20%. that would be a decent pot of money if true. (sounds insane to be fair)

very good advice. I would amplify the the part about being a Patron.
In NYC, art and improv comedy are scenes that might be a good fit for OP - many opportunities to build a network of relationships, to improve social skills, to get to know a wide variety of people, and to strategically deploy cash in many ways that will be fun for the Patron and for everyone else involved.

i went to highschool in the USA in the 90s: there were mutiple parties every weekend at various houses of kids whos parents were out of town, when the weather was good we'd sometimes have huge keg parties just out of town in a sort of nature area. something like the moon tower party in dazed and confused. not infrequently, people would get a hotel room to hang out in. pretty typical to go to multiple stops on a friday or saturday night.
even i, described once by a friend of my girlfriend as being a "cool nerd", knew multiple people who could get me weed, beer or liquor. friends of a friend would rarely show up with cocaine or acid, and i knew of older people using heroin but never saw any.
this type of partying was by far the main highschool social scene, i would guess 40% of kids were part of this including most of the athletes and popular types.
looking back, it seems like a major factor was parents constantly going out of town and leaving the kids in charge of nice single family homes, kind of surprising how much that was happening
potentially yes if she can take solace in having very attractive children even though perhaps set back a bit by the age impaired sperm? I would like to be forcibly married to an old toothless rich woman, go ahead and do it to me if we need to run the experiment.
