For you happy jingoists....

Another Afghanistan is occurring....

Ukraine is staring at the abyss, the grim consequences of US overreach: Societal disintegration, economic ruin and the dissolution of it's government. It's not just governments that crumble; it's the lives of millions who, after investing their hopes in Western promises, are left to pick up the pieces of shattered societies. The Democrats hubris will have exacted a catastrophic toll, not only on the US credibility as a Global leader,

A reason for Covid vaccine skepticism?

I truly don’t understand how this many people (and yes you’re included) can be so ignorant about science
Probs didn’t study science and since they like trickle down they also didn’t study above- I guess- finite mathematics ya know like rolling snake eyes is 1/6 x 1/6 or uhm 1 in 36 rolls- now note what craps table pays you if you play craps with coin you need to buy crab legs or gas

Mika and Joe sit down with "an existential threat to democracy" in a pathetic attempt to save their jobs...

You did say former Republican Senator right. He may have been Republican at one time but now he is just a bitter old host of dying show on a dying network. Who thinks he is smarter than everyone else.
Since you’re trying to look smart, I said congressman, not senator specifically. And he had his show on MSNBC for years before he tried to look virtuous by switching to independent.

Are you advocating for state-owned enterprise? Federal subsidy programs? What do you seek federal government to do?
I find it interesting to see the arguments that were being had in the 18th century. It’s fascinating.

He says markets will not “infallibly” accomplish anything.

“Animals, Plants and Minerals acquire a utility and value, which were before unexplored”…manufacturing, supply chains, industry

“The community is benefitted by the services of its respective members, in the manner, in which each can serve it with most effect”…employment opportunities in manufacturing has value

“These changes would be likely to be more tardy than might consist with the interest either of individuals or of the Society”…job change would pose a problem

I agree with subsidization of the semiconductor industry. I think the quota Reagan placed on Japanese auto imports had a positive effect. I think each proposal should be considered on its own.

So wherever that pigeonholes me

Not enough to employ hundreds of millions of people of varying degrees of intelligence, abilities, etc.

Brad, you bring up something which I've always thought about.

Absolutely sure we have tens of millions among us whose intelligence and potential abilities are unmeasured and go about being lost.

Diamonds in the rough.

Admittedly I was born into a favorable start in life. Have met lots of people over the years whose intelligence and skill sets are far superior to mine, but just didn't have the head start which I had.
