    And Trump is a billionaire. So fucking what? Maher is a moron and always has been.

    Except that he doesn’t know anything.

    …of all people.

    Of course that’s what he thinks. He has a simpleton’s understanding of the universe. Put him on ignore or at the very least stop quoting his stupid bullshit.

    Add Bob Dornan to the list, too.

    Ricky Schroder. Kirk Cameron. Scott Baio. James Woods. Rob Schneider. Roseanne Barr. Kid Rock. Ted Nugent. Jon Voigt. Jim Breuer. I guess celebrities don’t have to stay out of politics so long as they’re washed-up D listers and really stupid.

    George Mason University. What a surprise.

    This reflects a superficial model of economics. Sure, price represents subjective value. But, over the long term, humans value useful things. Occasionally markets go irrational based on a FOMO mentality, but people eventually recognize useless assets for what they are and prices and volume crash. Look at what happened with NFTs which are, ironically enough, essentially just crypto tokens that are nominally tethered to something tangible.

    In ways that force the kind of technical care and safety measures that beancounters would otherwise cut for short term profit purposes.

    So are you in favor of more stringent regulations of commercial airlines?

    Crypto is worthless as a currency because of its volatility, transaction costs, and inability to scale. So it has become nothing more than an investment asset. But unlike other assets, crypto offers no dividends, rents, interest, or utilitarian value. Its only value is speculative: when you buy crypto, you’re gambling that someone else will buy it for more than you paid. It’s entirely a bet on a rise in the price of the asset itself, also know as a “greater fool” bet. Crypto enthusiasts will bounce back and forth between currency-type and asset-type arguments for it. But the former are completely irrelevant. Aside from stable coins (which have their own issues), crypto is not a form of currency and thus any attempt to justify crypto based on analogy to fiat is invalid. The relevant question at this point is whether crypto has sustainable value as an asset.

    Yes, someone please tell us who owns this InceLorean so I can sell him on my new crypto project.

    Exactly. As I recall, the various regional promoters sat on a board that chose world champions. And the champ’s job was to cycle through the different promotions to wrestle the local hero and make him look good. They picked a guy who could wrestle an hour a night every night, put a less capable performer over, and put butts in seats. Flair traveled from state to state wrestling each company’s top guy, pretending to get his ass kicked for 55 minutes, and then somehow cheating to win or eking out a DQ loss or finding some other cheap way to retain the belt. The local fans would come away thinking their guy proved himself superior to the champ and only lost due to bad luck, which surely wouldn’t intervene in the rematch. (What are the chances Flair could escape certain defeat through pure dumb luck a second time?) And then they’d rush to buy tickets for the next time Flair came to town.

    It’s not a pen if the fouled player has a Liverpool badge on his chest. Thats the unwritten rule.

    With a dinged up squad, we dominated City. Should have won that one by three goals.
  16. BrickHorn
    Not against Liverpool. VAR continues to fuck this team out of points against our top competitors. Referees are stealing a title. Fucking whores.
  17. BrickHorn
    We’ve been the better team but can’t catch a break.
  18. BrickHorn
    It’s only okay against Liverpool.

    Jesus Christ: If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor. MAGA Catholics: Fuck off, commie.

    Austin FC

    Haven’t seen that. But the MLS’s brilliant decision to move games to a premium streaming platform last season dramatically reduced my interest in the league. I pay a lot more attention to EPL and even Liga MX (which is fun as hell to watch and a far superior product to MLS overall).
  22. BrickHorn
    Very true. There’s no such thing as pure altruism. The key is that our self interest is also to the benefit of others—we desire a better world for everyone. Wealthy MAGAts don’t give a shit about that. They just want as much money as possible, and couldn’t care less about all the harm their greed causes everyone else.
  23. BrickHorn
    Same here. The difference between us and MAGA clowns on that point, however, is we intentionally vote against our interest where doing so benefits others who need more help. I vote for politicians who are more likely to raise my taxes while reducing the tax burden on the working class, because I think that a progressive tax system is fair. The billionaire MAGA set votes with their pocketbooks. But the working Joes are just deluding themselves that Trump has any intention or capability to make their lives better. If working class Americans really wanted to improve their lives, they should be rallying behind someone like Elizabeth Warren.

    Many people are just selfish assholes to their core.
