Isn't half-breed one of those words we aren't allowed to use anymore?

The 70's were a strange time.

If bi-racial works better for you, go for it. I was going for alliteration.

Beds, you should contact an attorney about whatever hoops you'd need to go through to get Mr. Brunson officially declared a "special interest". Then no matter who the president was they'd be busting their butts to help him.
 
You mean the honorable halfbreed who is one of the top POTUS of all time who steadied the economy and gave it 8 years of sustained growth and generally kept us out of new conflicts while trying the best he could to scale back and clean up his predecessor's messes? That guy? You prefer Trump.

Hahahahahaha
 
Just for my edification, Jaw, does having a verse from the gospels in one's sig qualify as "virtue signaling?"

Well, the gospels are increasingly important to me, and I am making a genuine effort to modify my behavior to reflect my growing but still limited understanding of them. I typically change the signature when I find myself falling short of the new verses, as a reminder to myself to do better. It also serves as a filter on what I type, since I don't want to post something vile with what I consider to be a meaningful message appended at the end.

57's retweet factory is based on nothing of the kind, it's merely an attempt to score imaginary points in what he and his line leaders consider to be a fun game.
 
I think it would be even more fun for you to explain why you think it doesn't.

Because I don't think confiscating $1 from someone, paying for all of wasteful spending and bureaucratic processes, then handing it back to someone to spend, results in in a 73% increase from the original confiscation.

I could be wrong of course... but again, I'd be curious to see how that works... and if it does, why doesn't our massive deficits result in more than a meager 2% GDP growth?
 
I think it would be a fun exercise if you would explain to me how $1 in SNAP results in a 73% growth in economic activity

The short answer seems to be "inter-industry and induced consumption effects."

Because I don't think confiscating $1 from someone, paying for all of wasteful spending and bureaucratic processes, then handing it back to someone to spend, results in in a 73% increase from the original confiscation.

I could be wrong of course... yet again.

You are wrong and a 5 second search would show you. Your quixotic philosophy doesn't translate well into numbers.

SNAP Stimulates Economic Activity During an Economic Downturn

When households spend their SNAP benefits, the direct effects are increased economic activity by the producers of the goods and services being purchased, as well as by the retail, wholesale and transportation system that delivers the goods and services. In an economic downturn when resources are underemployed, increased SNAP benefits start a multiplier process with an economic impact that is greater than the initial stimulus (direct effect). The multiplier effect results from inter-industry and induced consumption effects. Inter-industry effects arise from an increase in economic activity among those industries that provide input supplies to producers and a delivery system for purchased goods. Induced consumption effects arise from increased consumption expenditures by households that receive an increase in earnings from the additional work generated by new economic production activity.
