Also they miss out on the obviously cool “late night tie relaxation” move

Women know; it’s uncouth to admit it. But if you happen to hear women trashing other women, it is pretty clear they know.

Obviously she can’t fix local zoning. But if she was interested, she could do a bunch of things that make larger developments cheaper (eg reduce EPA regulations, OHSA, etc)

I’m not sure the 6k credit for birth year would be popular. Many families have kids but won’t have more. So they won’t benefit. At the same time, 6k is basically nothing in the grand scheme of things. So you kind of piss of recent parents and don’t do enough to win over future potential parents.
I’m not sure the price controls will be popular either.

Newer is generally better form an efficiency perspective compared to older. So any standard that retards people from moving from older to newer is asinine. Thus, you shouldn’t require a person to update everything to code when trying to modernize X. That just makes incremental improvements more expensive.
We see this in other areas. Mandating the best while grandfathering the old leads to suboptimal outcomes.

It is fascinating to me that the same people who worry about Trump creating the Handmaid’s tale are the same people who support immigration from MENA

Isn’t it more female sexual fetish and fear? Rich man can’t help himself but want the young fertile woman and takes her. And the flip side is the partner who is aging but can’t compete with the young fertile woman.
It taps into both female desires and fears.

That doesn’t make sense. The first limb specified “in this country.” The next specified “further afield.” The clear implication is outside of this country.
If you were merely talking about crimes IRL on the streets, you wouldn’t specify in the first limb “in this country.”

Why don’t you try what Longshanks tried in Braveheart? Well, I guess that would require the denizens of Baltimore to believe in marriage….

It is ironic that a “law” enforcement officer is so clearly overstepping customary law. UK law doesn’t apply to non UK citizens outside of the UK as the UK is not sovereign in those areas. Would the UK be comfortable with China exercising that power? The US? The whole concept is absurd prima facie as you could have country A make it illegal to do X and country B make it illegal to do not X. I hope that LEO is stripped naked, paraded through the streets, and then is flogged for proposing this draconian and unworkable legal system.

What’s the source on the deficit? I think we need to borrow about 1t every 100 days so 1.8t is probably too small.

I think the above post is mistaken. Trump supported nuclear power for electricity. Was against nuclear proliferation

He didn’t come out against nuclear power. When he said he was worried about nuclear power, he meant it in the military sense. Musk then brought up how nuclear can be great for electricity and Trump agreed and joked it needed to be rebranded.

Even if Trump dropped out (he won’t) Haley wouldn’t take the mantle. Haley wasn’t the second choice of most republicans. She was liked by a small group that dislikes Trump.

Servicing debt now outstrips military spending.
Citing a brief budget surplus in 25 years ago isn’t really something to crow about.
Finally, we don’t have a revenue problem; we have a spending problem. But I’m fine if you want to raise the taxes back to Clinton level taxes if you also reduce government spending to that level.

That is far from obvious to me. I could see the possibility that falling on harms times sans safety net leads to drug use, but I can’t see the causal mechanism of “if I don’t have a social safety net then bad times will follow so might as well drop out and drug up ensuring bad times”

If building companies was easy, then there would be a lot more people doing it. If there were a lot more people doing it, then the labor they provide (ie in the form of equity) would be much smaller compared to the amount of equity that capital takes.
Market history suggests the dear thing isn’t capital but skill in building large scalable companies. Capital is common and cheap in comparison.
Those companies have small margins—very small margins.
