Please support the Forum by using the Amazon Link this Holiday Season
Amazon has started their Black Friday sales and there are some great deals to be had! As you shop this holiday season, please consider using the forum's Amazon.com link (listed in the menu as "Amazon Link") to add items to your cart and purchase them. The forum gets a small commission from every item sold.
Additionally, the forum gets a "bounty" for various offers at Amazon.com. For instance, if you sign up for a 30 day free trial of Amazon Prime, the forum will earn $3. Same if you buy a Prime membership for someone else as a gift! Trying out or purchasing an Audible membership will earn the forum a few bucks. And creating an Amazon Business account will send a $15 commission our way.
If you have an Amazon Echo, you need a free trial of Amazon Music!! We will earn $3 and it's free to you!
Your personal information is completely private, I only get a list of items that were ordered/shipped via the link, no names or locations or anything. This does not cost you anything extra and it helps offset the operating costs of this forum, which include our hosting fees and the yearly registration and licensing fees.
Stay safe and well and thank you for your participation in the Forum and for your support!! --Deborah

The Wire is worth watching a 3rd or 4th time after college football season.

Jeff brings up the point that the average person doesn't care about the validity of his news source and prefer to read whatever back up their beliefs. Legitimate sources of news are competing for clicks with partisan biased & propaganda websites. This competition for clicks damages the quality of news reporting and were left with the mess of news we have today.

Some validation to the idea that Twitter is an echo chamber

Point is it is possible to understand events and develop a well informed opinion about them at all levels. Not easy, especially for average man who may not look at multiple sources and critically exam them and maybe even more difficult for above average man who is doing that but is time constrained by work and has family responsibilities.
Pick and choose five, and, maybe yes. Pick another five on which you can be stale and still probably right. And, in some case, pick getting your facts straight or your underlying concepts, but not both. As an example, this week's Economist story on The Ambassador Bridge, to use a local/relevant case. Three factual errors, but they nailed the conceptual stuff.
IMO things have become incredibly complicated. We are foolish to think we understand any one current event and its underlying dynamics unless we are exposed to it and thinking about it on a regular basis and are regularly updating what we know and refining our conclusions. There's no dipping in for a quick immersion and coming out with lasting and accurate comprehension.
Which is why Wiz has the right idea. We should all find three indestructible punchlines and base all discourse on them.

Is there really a niche of intelligent people in this country that truly think the enormous amount of national debt is a GOOD thing?
