The BEZOS Act is horrible. Dangerous. Makes Sanders look unhinged.

Well, it IS horrible. And it makes Sanders look unhinged to YOU, but to the Ds? -- I think it's a winner. But, it has to wait in line behind single payer, free college and living wage.Dan Patrick: What was your reaction to [Urban Meyer being hired]?

As a gambler, those odds are hilarious. I don't even think a crooked back shop Hoboken book would set such favorable odds.
Hint -- if the field is -300, then the single betting favorite ought to be no more than +250 (with the vig). Instead, it's "everyone not listed is 75% likely and Pence, who is listed, is 60% likely). The percentages add up to well over 300%. LOL.
And for the of god, it's not the sitting VP.Last edited by iam416; September 7, 2018, 07:21 AM.Dan Patrick: What was your reaction to [Urban Meyer being hired]?

I find Pence to be the least likely. I have no doubt he could shepherd half the cabinet into a palace coup if he wanted to. No need for him to write such a missive. Pence is standing in the corner with a Cheshire Cat grin waiting for il-Douche to fall. Spew the occasional blind loyalty nonsense and everything is okay. He knows this could all simply fall into his lap. No way is Pence the author.“Outside of a dog, a book is a man's best friend. Inside of a dog, it's too dark to read.” - Groucho MarxComment

Bad ideas beget more bad ideas. What Bezos and others are doing when they employ people full time and don't pay them a living wage is essentially privatizing the gains and socializing the losses. Money locates in, bottom line, three places -- with workers, with owners, or with government. If your three-legged stool is unbalanced enough, you fall. Is this Sanders thing a good idea? I don't know. I'm for whatever we can do to rebalance the system. One thing we can all agree on here, I'd bet, is that killing the golden goose will almost assuredly mean something worse replaces it. Even I am not so left as to think that all the ideas coming from the Sanders wing are good ones. Most of it is in fact just a rollback to the Reagan-period legal/regulatory regime. It's a particularly American form of stupidity to call that "socialism" and try to get elected doing so.
IMO, though, it very well could be that all this takes a back seat for now. We could be headed into a period in which the defining issue is reproductive rights. I'm sure that those enjoying record profits now would love to see the culture wars escalate.Comment

Meanwhile, Nike's corporate appropriation (that's a thing, right? -- has t be) of Kaepernick's heroic stance against the police has spawned at least a few good things including this:

But more specifically, and the obsession with Roe illustrates how wantonly stupid the Ds are on this front. The Rs have been carving up abortion rights in most states they control through, surprise-surprise, the regulatory apparatus. They're strident on the 20 weeks for Roe and then they impose health and safety standards on the first trimester stuff that limits access. That's been happening for years and years. All Ds care about is Roe, but when they get asshammered in the state legislatures then the right to kill prenatal children gets hammered, too.Dan Patrick: What was your reaction to [Urban Meyer being hired]?

You think that one of the things atop the conservative agenda isn't going to be attempted once it's more feasible than ever?

I think it's pointless to come at each other with values-based arguments. It is easier to stick to facts and practicalities. What can't go on won't, and history tells us that the pitchforks come out at that point, and the old system well be replaced with a new one. Not necessarily a better one, but a new one. That's fact. Practicalities, when it comes to tax policy specifically, involve what you can do to generate revenue without distorting market activity. On that front, I don't know if this is a good idea or a bad one.
That said, I agree that the best way for anything to proceed is with you bowing out. Send in Wiz instead so we can increase the quality of the discussion.Comment
