Curtis Sliwa says hello.

I didn't say it's not ok to want to be in a community of like-minded people. Perhaps your neighborhood or town can post a questionnaire to make sure any potential neighbors pass muster. Afaik gated communities are legal. And they are a good option for those who prefer to be surrounded by...

You gonna put a yellow star on their foreheads so we know who they are? Or is skin tone or socioeconomic status a sufficiently good filter? At least this discussion has served the purpose of clarifying why some around here object to making public transportation free. For that alone this has...

I think there is a solid case to be made for so-called free public transportation. Making it free reduces administrative costs and increases convenience and ridership. Ultimately, the idea is to reduce some very large negative externalities associated with private transportation (pollution and...

Yup. I share your moral repugnance towards anyone who "uses race and religion to divide people." It is something that I would hope all people of good will can come together on.

Looks like socialism has caused electricity problems all over the country.

At the moment Texas is not in the middle of a heat wave. But it does regularly ask customers to conserve when temps are unusually high or low. Of course, we all remember Ted Cruz' sojourn to Cancun a few years ago, when 13 million Texans had to boil their water.

They can't cuz of well-educated libs (who threatened to end democracy)

you are not properly understanding how much influence well-educated libs had over his nomination and election

My point is it is the fault of well-educated libs that we have a president who: 1) has been found liable for sexual assault 2) has bragged about getting away with grabbing women by their genitals 3) tried very hard to persuade voters that dark-skinned immigrants were eating their cats and dogs

Yup. Those well-educated libs are the reason the country elected a president who: 1) has been found liable for sexual assault 2) has bragged about getting away with grabbing women by their genitals 3) tried very hard to convince voters that dark-skinned immigrants were eating their cats and dogs

i didn't realize he meant a bus packed with explosives...that's a bit rad for my tastes...otoh if he is going to pay for the buses and explosives by taxing the rich i might come around to the idea

Didn't he promise every voter a free bus?

Correct. The libs threatening to end democracy (not to mention failing to show sufficient respect to real 'mericans) gave us Trump.

Is it any surprise that all those well-educated libs ended up putting Trump back in the White House. Your prescience amazes!

Lest anyone forget: Our twice-elected president 1) has been found liable for sexual assault 2) has bragged about getting away with grabbing women by the genitals 3) made a strenuous effort to persuade voters that dark-skinned migrants were eating their cats and dogs It truly shocks the...

Lutnick serves the very important purpose of making Bessent seem capable.

Certainly supports your point about a college education being worse than useless.

I think interconnectedness and globalization has produced backlash in certain parts of the world, including the more insular parts of this country.

I'm not sure if I understand your point. But I think some of it comes down to culture. Some cultures are more open to adopting new ideas based on how they work in the real world. Other cultures evaluate new ideas through the lens of some prior received wisdom (often tied to ideological or...
