  1. If Harold tracks as some models suggest, those buoys will be, shall we say, drifting, further.
  2. As someone who went to private schools, you succinctly stated the reason my wife and I sent our children to public schools. Edited to say our first daughter just received her UT diploma, and our youngest started her UT education yesterday.
  3. Half a trillion here, half a trillion there, pretty soon you’re talking real money.
  4. I am more concerned with debt service. Limited tax dollars poorly spent. I point to the post WWII precedent, and tax rates of 90+% to pay the national bills.
  5. IMO, the tax rate on higher earners is so low, welfare is is an apt analogy.
  6. I was referring to this: ” A federal appeals court has ruled that drug users shouldn’t automatically be banned from having guns, marking the latest sign of upheaval in the nation’s firearm legal landscape and raising questions about a law cited in the case against Hunter Biden.” https://apnews.com/article/gun-ban-drugs-federal-appeals-hunter-biden-f26f8b7488615785602003932efd881a
  7. Not entirely accurate. Here’s what the judge said: “ "I'm not going to say I'm going to accept the agreement. I'm not going to say I'll deny it," she said.“ She chose to give it more thought. In the meantime, a federal judge took some action against laws banning drug users from possessing firearms, though I have no idea if those actions pertain to HB. https://abc7ny.com/hunter-biden-plea-deal-falls-apart-maryellen-noreika/13557051/
  8. If Hunter Biden acted illegally, charge him and put him on trial.
  9. As Ho is not on the SC, please tell me there are ethical grounds by which to hold that fuck to account.
  10. The ubiquitous thumbs up portraits irritate the fuck out of me. It visibly suggests the brain mold of aggy is proliferating at an alarming rate.
  11. Thought you’d be better with words. My mistake.
  12. Then let me longcat for you. These studies examine mental health outcomes for medial transition patients. In the short term, medical intervention is remarkably effective at improving mental states for those involved. Which is viewed as effective treatment. Over time, however, societal pushback, ie disapproval, rejection, targeting, degrades those same mental health outcomes. Which some view as non effective treatment. Because medical transition treats an ndividual, not a society. Interestingly, this societal disapproval quickly changes to societal support with minimal effort. More information leads to greater acceptance. To my understanding, filtering out negative mental health outcomes as a result of societal disapproval, is the difference of opinion cited in your truncated link. Certainly, the Economist is not considering the very low rate of detransition in coming to its lede.
  13. Your article is paywalled. We have been down this road before. The contention is rooted in long termed efficacy. The criticism you espouse points to societal pushback, and the deleterious effects of that downpressing on mental health outcomes, and not on the effects of medical intervention on those outcomes. Gaslighting.
  14. As I have previously stated, I will accept the dozens of named experts who, in peer reviewed studies, have convinced the American Psychological Association and the American Medical Association. All you offer is:
  15. Agreed. The judge in DC could have had him jailed already for breaking Georgia’s witness tampering law, when he posted that former Lt. Gov. Geoff Duncan should not testify before the grand jury.
  16. Riotous drapery, befitting your clown-show. My ideology is based on the experts at the APA, and the AMA, as well as dozens of studies, all of which I have linked here in this thread. As I noted, as well as documented, the political goalposts have shifted from medical care for young adults, to medical care for the entire trans community.
  17. Only the nazi fucks, @Anastasis, now seek to ban transition medical care for all ages. Keep sucking authoritarian shit. https://www.texastribune.org/2023/04/25/transgender-health-care-legislature/
  18. Couldn’t pass up the chance to reference this song.
  19. That’s right, women are smarter.
