Did the US genocide Iraq?

Et tu

Again, the sine qua non of anti competitive practices is creating a cartel. The government helps enforce one for labor. There just isn’t a comparison.

Something many people

Miss is the militia clause within the original constitution. I think one needs to read that in connection with the second amendment which ends up suggesting a different reading compared to Heller. While I am relatively pro gun, I don’t buy the second amendment arguments favored by people on that side.

History isn’t about creating get out of jail free cards. But it is a useful barometer for “what is normal” and what is “abnormal.”

By historical standards what is happening in Gaza is not abnormal nor is it a genocide.

The idea that a child molester is not also a pedo just seems like trying to find a distinction. Are you honestly of the belief that a person raped a child has zero attraction to side child? That beggars belief. We are already talking about monsters, but that is beyond.

That’s a lot of words undermined by your first sentence. My whole point is “this war is categorically different from what happened in cold war proxy wars” and you confirmed in the first paragraph that I am correct.

You can’t say on one hand the Cold War established when nuclear weapons would be used and we haven’t reached that point while on the other hand acknowledge this situation never occurred during the Cold War.

Finally, my scenario hasn’t been falsified. My position is that if Russia was seriously threatened in Crimea or Moscow, Russia May use nukes which creates a spiral. Since the only way Ukraine could possibly threaten Russia this way is with our support, you just have your causal mechanism.

Finally, one need not find this example compelling to be worried about an existential threat. Let’s say there is a 5% chance. That is clearly a valid concern when giving weapons to Ukraine

It is a government enforced quasi cartel. Cartels are the sine qua non of anti competitive behavior except for the labor carve out. It is really bad policy and we don’t need to resort to spherical cows.

I guess if they tried to hack the polls or something.

You have a problem with war in that case. That is, you can’t attack Gaza effectively without the collateral consequences.

I go back to “don’t start nothing won’t be nothing.”

I’m a parent of small kids. So we go to the pediatrician and it is very easy. No fuss. Don’t know why anyone would complain about that.

Get lost buddy.

My recollection which I will try to dig up is one of the Apollo founders

You claim Hamas wants their population to stay in Gaza. I ask you why do they want that?

A civilization that parades around naked dead corpses of young woman civilians is a civilization that doesn’t deserve civil rights. Level up from your barbarism and sure, I can get behind that. Note there are Arab states — even if not western — that deserve civil rights.

Businesses that aren’t selling Etsy art are very likely to be incorporated via a single member LLC (unless the owner is a complete idiot).

Of course, if property rights are subject to the vagaries of who is elected (ie if Bernie could just confiscate wealth) it isn’t really a right is it

Why is it sacrificing the balkans? You could while Ukraine was being invaded move a bunch of military installations into the Balkans so that if Russia expanded (questionable whether they would) they wouldn’t be facing a group trying to get it together but a group that is already together.

This is of course a very silly post. Hillary didn’t already create a riot when she lost that targeted the capital.

I’m not suggesting that Trump would succeed but he might go farther this time. Prudence suggests either nailing him well before the election starts or well after; not during.

Enter VBM and activists getting illegals to sign things they don’t understand because the activist is…otherwise helpful

I was in this stuff day in and day out. It isn’t PR. Maybe you’ve been buying into the Trump nonsense (like Cuomo being better).

Agreed with the broader point re gold standard. I’m making the more narrow point about whether depreciating dollar is good or bad.

As for volatility and pricing, sure academically. But I’m not sure people actual use models like that to invest — especially when it comes to highly uncertain returns. That is, venture capital is so uncertain trying to figure out expected return is a bit of a fools errand.

The weird thing is credit scores are not really how banks make major decisions on lending (that has more to do with cash flow)

The most important anniversary of course
