  1. My point is that you are being a hysterical doofus. You said “it’s been done before … it cost literally millions of lives.” It HAS been done before, in one form or another in virtually every state in the union since even before the founding of this Republic, but it didn’t cost any lives*, because “it” is not the same thing. *Native Americans would likely disagree with this.
  2. We aren’t talking about a dorm room bullshit session or political mouth noises. -isms and metaphors are not real life. There are hundreds of community land trusts in the United States and there have been for decades, and if you want to talk about “rugged individualism” perhaps you are not aware that the kind of land ownership she’s talking about is rooted in both common law and the history of American settlers working and running livestock on common land, which they still do to this day, e.g. rugged individualist Ammon Bundy. Again, I don’t believe this approach delivers broad based affordability in cities, but rather produces a barbell distribution of low and high net worth people, with the middle class banished to suburbs. But that’s not rolling tanks, let alone millions of deaths
  3. But this doesn’t even require a whatabout. Just because she uses silly language doesn’t transform a municipal land use concept into Maoist China. If @Incredulity needs examples of actual “socialism”, I would point to the government’s ownership stake in publicly traded semiconductor companies and putting their thumb on the scale in media mergers. But I don’t think he does. He’s just bugging out over branding.
  4. He’s working through a collapse of faith, probably in multiple forms.
  5. I’m not the one playing dumb here. Or maybe you aren’t playing.
  6. Dude I’m a full-on professional capitalist and a free market-price-discovery absolutist. Likewise, I think real world experience demonstrates that the only housing affordability solution that works at the population level is to allow the market to respond to demand, which is not what we do in American cities. But, my man- she is talking about things like community land trusts like the ones in Vermont and the kind of long term lease holding they have in Vienna. I’m not a historian, can you illuminate me on how and when millions of lives were lost in Champlain? In other words, what in the fuck are you even talking about?
  7. Phone unplugged, jesus
  8. The translation is better. Sound on:
  9. Either Erickson has been completely hollowed out inside by apologizing for Trump while his wife slowly dies of cancer, or he’s setting up a heel turn, and this is bleak wit on par with Edith Wharton and Dorothy Parker.
  10. he committed to oklahoma freakshow. Not that he lives in oklahoma, and I am the idoit
  11. I’m in New York right now doing capitalism. Send snacks.
  12. Yep, and that was the core strategic mistake of the Biden administration. Ironic enough since he of all people understood this stuff as well as anybody. Maybe it’s because he was isolated by his inner circle or maybe it was a failure of imagination because this is America. Either way, it’s another feature of his decline. He was destined to be our Claudius. He was ushered in by calamity and out by catastrophe, and did some good things in between.
  13. I would like for the Mavs to get him, but it’s it’s like on because he’s a 3 & D guy who does not D or 3. That said, I’d like the Mavs to get him as long as he comes with the Pels pick. I would even take Trae in the package.
  14. Incredibly tacky, but I guess this is what I get for opening an email from Colin Allred. Yep, he’s fundraising for a democrat primary challenge to his own designated successor on January 6th. Five Years Since One of America’s Darkest DaysI took off my jacket, rolled up my sleeves, and got ready to take on whatever came through that door.
  15. Worth reading- “Transitions are not moral moments but exercises in power management. ”
  16. “Semi-autonomous” doing some heavy lifting there. I would summarize 20 years of polling as very much wanting political independence but also wanting to keep foreign financial and development subsidies. Which they would get and more of them with the US in a sane world we don’t live in, which is why 85% oppose annnexation by the US- it’s Trump they don’t want. The rest is negotiable.
  17. FTR- the Danish claim on Greenland is exceptionally and profoundly weak, not to mention mostly unwanted at this point by either side. In a more sane timeline a negotiated annexation of Greenland as a US Territory following a referendum of Greenland’s citizen would make sense. But this is not that. This is a clown show, and is fundamentally about the US breaking ties with NATO and retreating from the Eastern Hemisphere while ostensibly reasserting dominance over the West as an attenuated hemispheric hegemon.
  18. Du bist nichts. Dein völk ist alles.
  19. I grew up next door to a guy sort of like this The place was what is now called a trap house. In addition to fencing stolen goods and selling drugs, they also bred chows for guard duty and dogfighting. Good times! Anyway, he had a rap sheet as long as your arm, and it turned out it was because he was an informant. On more than one occasion the Dallas police dragged him out of the house and kicked his ass on the sidewalk when he wasn’t coming through with the goods. Short of not talking, going straight, or killing a cop he wasn’t going to prison.
  20. Nobody goes downtown anymore. Too crowded.
  21. Well, well, well. If it isn’t the consequences of my own actions…
