  1. Correct. I’ve read the same. It’s getting tougher for each generation.
  2. Because I know some can only get their info from Tucky Carlson, here is a snipit: I think the problem with the right is that it believes in the free market, which we absolutely believe in, but it doesn’t know what the market really is or what it requires to have a free market. It assumes that by going backwards to a totally monopolized and retrograde form of markets we’re going to get the dynamic free market of the future, which I think is deeply naïve and mistaken. I think they have a good goal in mind, having a truly free and competitive system, but they created systems that ignored the ways in which what they called markets actually led to concentrated forms of power, very similar to the forms of state power that they decried. The left, on the other hand, also has good aims. It believes in greater equality and believes in breaking up concentrated corporate power, but it thinks it can trust in benevolent state actors to impartially execute this, which to me is just as naïve as trusting corporate actors or the owners of private property to somehow benevolently have the public interest in mind. Like the left, we want to reduce inequality, diffuse power more broadly, and have a more profound democracy, but we think that standard discretionary state power is a perfect way to reestablish the tyranny of the elite, precisely the same sort of oppression that they’re trying to alleviate
  3. It’s actually not but you don’t read so I would wouldn’t think you’d get passed the title.
  4. I’ve started reading this book and I highly recommend it for anyone with an open mind on how we can fix our monopolist society: https://press.princeton.edu/books/hardcover/9780691177502/radical-markets
  5. I like dry warm months anyway. Keeps the ticks and mosquitos at bay.
  6. He told them no rain, hot and humid so they planned for swimming trunks and hot dogs... only to wake up to rain jackets and soaked weenies.
  7. You have to admit this does look like you:
  8. Laugh at gfs, euro, nam...pick the model that fits the agenda or just don’t look at models at all?
  9. It’s bizarre. Time for a straight jacket and white padded walls.
  10. Surprised you were able to play with all the forrest fires in the area.
  11. Rains and cold. Sustained warmth on hold as the -nao does -nao things.
  12. That will bump back north over the next 36hrs. My ground is still soaked anyway so another .5-1.0 will be enough and just right to keep the forrest fires in the HFD suburbs from burning out of control.
  13. I’ve never seen it done with a thermometer before so maybe dendy can show us pics...
  14. I tried to tell ya about the freeze warning but you ‘confused emjoji’ me.
  15. That’s really it. It’s pretty damn simple and straight forward.
  16. The crackstein must be too good to put down but it’s kind of scary how bad he feens for it.
  17. Yea. I also would like people to stay socially distant moving forward too. Unless you want to give me a handy or pay for my groceries, back off.
  18. Probably looking at another inch. It’s been wet and chilly lately.
