  7. Ryan Flota has a conflict of interest, and his reasoning is 100% BS. "I didn't make the law, I'm just abiding by the law." The justification of every tyrant. I don't hire the lowest price, if I think they'll do a terrible job. 'Buy once, cry once' is the philosophy I live by.

  8. freedom requires an educated population. In the US this meant everyone needed the opportunity to get an education. Unfortunately the politicians always misunderstand things like simple English and instead understood that to mean the Government had to provide that education. Instead of ensuring everyone had Access to an education, they forced gov run education upon everyone.

  9. Why does the FDA need to approve the test? The test isn't conducted on humans is it? The test should be on a tissue/blood sample, right?

  10. great as always! need more people like Stossel, and Kim at the Hill, doing actual legitimate journalism.

  11. this is all about Corporatism, this is not what capitalism is. Capitalism does not engage in subsidies, does not favor laws that restrict or put small competitors out of business...

  12. yes, all speech is protected. We absolutely want to know who is and is not advocating for genocide. we need them to speak and identify themselves freely. And we need to be free to counter those ideas as well. censorship needs to be illegal.

  16. and gov backed college loans driving tuition up. along with debtors prisons not allowing bankruptcy. if people were able to file bankruptcy, they wouldn't approve risky college loans.

  18. the audience is gullible and believes whatever the liars tell them.

  19. they can't create anything new, so they have to piggy back of things that were successful, destroying them in the process. And alienating the nonhomosexual audience.

  20. they've been wrong since the Industrial Revolution. Back in the 1800s they were already predicting doom and gloom due to coal and steam power.

  21. it leaves us weak, and leaves our own population with unskilled labor force from lack of jobs. we need tariffs to balance rich economies with poor economies.

  23.  @hotdogg268  not at all. Often times burning more gas is the right answer. I am a CFI and one lesson I always taught to new Commercial Pilots was that of money. I'd ask them if it made more sense to fly a paying customer economically to save fuel, or to just pour it on and fly as fast as practical. They always answered to save gas and save the customer money. But them I'd ask them how much money they'd save by flying economically on a 2hr flight in a given airplane, vs going fast. They calculate the amount. And then I'd point out to them than the airplane costs more per hour to operate than the fuel it burns. And that time is money, and the customer will both save more money by burning the gas and flying faster, as well as be happy the flight took less of their time as well. If I'm saving energy, it has nothing to do with the environment and everything to do with spending less money on certain things, so I have more I can spend on things I actually care about. I avoid beachfront properties as they are overpriced and lack all the features that makes a property valuable to me. I don't eat bugs, but you're free to do so if you like. There is quite literally nothing I hate more than hypocrites. Something else I despise are morons like yourself that like to go after people for no reason. The kind of person who can't generate a coherent valid logical argument to save their lives. You obviously can't read. As your response is a direct contradiction to my first comment in this thread, in the context of the original post.

  28. i slept in math class. i'd get it the first time, and then have to sit for an hour waiting for everyone get it explained to them for the 15th time. my teacher started handing out assignments as we entered the class, just so I had something to do. I'd get my homework done before the class was over while he explained it to everyone else. I'm grateful that he did that for me.

  30. Atlas Shrugged is one of my favorite "political" books in my collection, it's one of the books in my collection I will never not have a copy of. No matter how many times I pare down my book collection over the years, that book, and certain others, will always remain.

  31. and that is is why tariffs exist, to keep industry in the US. meanwhile US "allies" like Canada and the EU put tariffs on the US.

  32. selfishness is the foundation of survival in the evolutionary system called "nature". Selfishness is actually a useful trait.

  33. They think you are voting against your own interests. But that is because they cannot accept that the ideas they are proposing simply do not work. They fail to account for nature, fail to understand human nature. they truly believe they can bring about utopia. but for their ideas to work, absolutely every single person must participate and behave perfectly all the time. This simply isn't how reality works. Worth looking at is the Hawks and Doves studies. They prove that crime can never be eliminated, only minimized. accidents cannot be eliminated, only minimized. inequality cannot be eliminated, only minimized. Nature (physics? call it what you like) simply does not allow imbalance to exist. They try to build systems that fight nature, rather than work with nature.

  34. SmarterEveryDay just did a video about a presentation he gave to NASA on how if you lack negative feedback, you'll inevitably fail. It applies to everything, including climate change claims and censorship, as well as EVs, and many other things.

  35.  @f-86zoomer37  How about public platform laws be enforced. Censorship and "fact Checking" is editorializing. They are "publishing" select content, while rejecting others. You cannot do this on a platform. When free to the public platforms are used as a primary means for political representatives to communicate with their constituents, you no longer have the right to censor them. Ona public platform you are free to ignore content you don't like or agree with. But when private entities control the means of communication for a nation, they become more powerful than the gov itself. This is unacceptable. This is where regulation to ensure a free and fair market exists are necessary. Yes, many of us want a smaller gov, but a gov that still performs its primary functions, such as border security, and in enforcing free market capitalism by preventing monopolies and monopolistic behavior, by preventing lobbyists from overriding the will of the people, by passing laws favoring small businesses and startups over larger businesses, that lets businesses succeed or fail on their own merits and not allowing bailouts, and not allowing businesses to grow so large that they require bailouts to avoid a larger economic collapse, and they can under the idea of monopolistic behavior. "Too big to fail" is an effective monopoly.

  36. they sure aren't giving up their private jets

  43.  @biggoards2772  100% correct. Nothing is above scrutiny, criticism, and skepticism in science. And periodically we need to retest our assumptions, theories, and "facts" as new information and ideas emerge in order to ensure they still hold up. Climate alarmism doesn't hold up to scrutiny nor the facts. So they must censor all opposition.

  44. cellphones, laptops, etc. Imagine a Liberal with no social media access.........

  45. selfishness is also vital to the success of evolution in general. Only the species with a selfish understanding will survive over time. Others will go extinct as they will not prioritize their own survival, nor their own reproduction.

  46.  @bbtruth2161  community arises from self interest. A selfish individual realizes they can accomplish more, and are safer overall from the hazards of life, when they find others who they can work with peacefully without fear of harm. These larger groups of cooperating individuals can better defend against and defeat smaller hostile groups and hostile individuals, and they can delegate responsibilities and pool their resources to be more efficient. Self interest, selfishness drives this. People are better off overall through mutual cooperation than alone, so selfishness drives participation.

  47. prove to the taxpayers we need these Bureaucrats, and prove we need these laws. Abolish the laws, fire the gov workers enforcing them. More businesses = more tax revenue. Less gov workers = more tax revenue freed up to spend on worthwhile things.

  51. "free" healthcare is expensive.

  52.  @sgartner  FDA is supposed to protect consumers. How is a test, conducted on a tissue sample not currently part of a human being, in anyway going to harm that human? There is no reason the FDA approval is required for something like this.

  53. gov arguing "price gouging" and controlling the markets is Socialism.

  54. agreed. i don't do drugs, never have. but I'm also a Libertarian and believe it's a person's choice what to put in their bodies. And evidence shows that decriminalizing and legalizing drugs eliminates more of the issue that anything we've done so far since they started the War on Drugs.

  55. getting rid of tariffs only works when the other country does the same, and the EU, Canada, and others have no problem putting tariffs on US exports.

  70. locking people up for victimless crimes is one thing, but when you destroy another person's life, property, threaten or harm others, etc, you need to be held accountable.

  73.  @guilhermemartins2606  so, piracy is legal?

  74.  @Foolish188  You are right, but the tragedy of the Commons is also about land/property ownership. In the case of fishing, the gov steps in to ensure the fish aren't over-harvested. This is a good example where some amount of gov is appropriate. You can't just go hunting on anyone's land, and you can't just go hunt anything you want any time you want (with some exceptions). Just teaching someone to fish doesn't mean everyone will fish them to extinction. The water and fishing is still regulated. Teaching people to fish is separate from the tragedy of the commons anywhere fishing is regulated, so you're also wrong.

  75. Pregnancy can ruin a person's life if it happens at the wrong time. Rape needs to be an exception, regardless of if I am mostly against unrestricted abortion.

  78.  @TrevorHamberger  "fact checkers' are not part of the peer review process. The peer review process is a scientific process. These fact checkers are not even qualified to peer review the things they do. And they aren't just peer reviewing them, but actually censoring things. And their fact checks are usually filed with lies, logical inconsistencies, logical fallacies, etc. A non doctor fact checking a doctor, is not peer review, as the fact checker is not the doctor's "peer" on the subject matter.

  79.  @f-86zoomer37  A free market cannot exist without laws and regulation. This is why laws about anti-trust, conspiracy, monopolies, price gouging and more exists. Capitalism Requires regulation in order to exist, otherwise we end up with the corporatist economic system we currently have where the rich keep buying up everything and controlling the markets and buying politicians to do their bidding. If you support this, then by all means, keep advocating for zero regulation. But telephone, internet, sewage etc are utilities. Social media sites like Youtube, Twitter, facebook, etc, registered themselves as Platforms, not Publishers. So they need to follow the rules accordingly, or be held accountable for breaking them. But it seems you don't believe in the rule of law, and you think people should just be allowed to do as they please without consequences, like loot, arson, murder, steal, assault others, etc.

  80. if every scientist spoke out, colleges couldn't fir everyone
    2
  81. when super rich investment firms are buying up ALL land and ALL homes in your area, and NO ONE else can afford to buy land, that is not good. And since they are paying above market value, our taxes are going up, and eventually none of us will be able to afford to keep our homes/land. Capitalism also requires gov to intervene to prevent monopolies, price manipulation, cartels, and other such anti-competitive behavior.

  82. and over time, lack of standards causes a slow decay of people motivating themselves to get out of bed. over time more and more people would start backing off and giving up and staying in bed.

  84.  @joeyGalileoHotto  yup. I got out of school just as no child left behind was first being rolled out, and it still managed to affect me (top student in my school). And witnessed the bad effects ever since at the college level. The greatest damage is always from the best of intentions. They think they are helping, but in reality they are making it worse. These people don't understand how reality works and so their "solutions" are always the exact opposite of what the real solutions are.

  110.  @lainiwakura1776  Good point. You can't argue the fetus has more rights than the mother, without also claiming the mother has more rights than the fetus. If a mother can't decide for the fetus, then the fetus (gov) can't decide for the mother.

  117. Computer Models: show sea level rise Actual Observed Data: shows no net sea level rise globally If the seas rose, we'd build dikes. But as it rises in one place, it sinks in another. Mostly due to tectonic plate movements. This is stuff we used to teach to children in grade school.

  118.  @rarelibra  or, better yet, let that example serve as a wake up call and teaching lesson to americans to be prepared, and to not pay such huge markups. sometimes you have to let things go to educate the masses to avoid such schemes on their own in teh future.
    2
  119.  @rarelibra  and if everyone were prepared, that would be even better right? fewer people needing help, more people able to help others. no one has a mandatory duty to help anyone. We encourage it, promote it, etc. (not Kamala Harris or the woke Democrats though). People are not slaves to do your biding or serve at your beck and call. People help of their own free will and because they feel it is their moral obligation, not because some random nobody in the youtube comments commanded it.
    2
  120.  @rarelibra  I am the one who is prepared, hence why i advocate for it. In my life I've experienced earthquakes, hurricanes, tornadoes, blizzards that knocked out power for days and shut down roads, flooding, wind storms, ice storms, sand storms, multiple wars, etc. Never once needed someone else to come save me. You're not too bright are you, if you think a person advocating preparedness isn't prepared themselves?

  167. 50yrs? Try over 150yrs. They've been spewing this climate change hysteria literally since the dawn of the Industrial Revolution. Tony Heller details this well. He pulls up newspaper articles and such going back at least 150yrs of people pushing climate hysteria. Never once has their hysteria come true. Before Obama's "climate advisor" was pushing global warming, he was on a National Geographic documentary in the 1970s advocating for the US and USSR to nuke the polar ice caps to melt all the ice to stop an impending global ice age.

  178. you should do one on the temp record. About heat island effect and how it drags temps up by taking the averages of multiple stations. About how the raw temp data going back before WW2 does Not show much of an upward trend at all, maybe even downward overall, but they Alter the temps to publish them to get the effect they want (and these alterations are Not open to peer review nor explained how or why they are done). And the fact CO2 has a logarithmic effect on temperature, not linear. I could go on and on for hours about all the things they are getting wrong about "climate change". And they are willing to sacrifice the well being of the world for their personal agendas built on lies. Never mind there is simply Not enough grid energy to support everyone having an EV, nor can most people afford to have an EV (even less so now with rising inflation).

Instead of ensuring everyone had Access to an education, they forced gov run education upon everyone.

  195.  @DMichaelAtLarge  It's not unrelated. Gov thinks it's their job to educate people. And they use it to justify taxing people to pay for it. Once they get an established source of income from the people, they will never let go if it. But they still have to justify why they are taxing us. Completely related.

  200.  @Ry-pn2hy  I buy raw ingredients from teh grocery store and can live on less than $30/month for 1 adult. $6 a meal is fast food prices. I can easily get under $2/meal homecooked. I can make an 11in pizza for about $2.50 in only 20min (including mixing and kneading the dough, adding toppings, and baking in the oven). You can buy local meat from local butcher shops and farms. Many people save a ton by buying a 1/4 to a whole cow of meat up front, and cutting up a portion of it themselves. Lots of new beef farms springing up in my area to satisfy rising demand for local beef. You can also go fishing. And there is aquaponics. You can garden and can foods. I have been steadily accumulating basic recipes for many things, from bread, to ketchup, mayonnaise, pasta, pizza, biscuits, casseroles, soups, and much much more. Learning how to make Everything from scratch. If you skip teh fancy recipes and find that most basic ones to start with you'll find how simple, quick, easy, and CHEAP food is. And by starting simple it's hard to screw up, and then you can learn to add to it and weak the recipes as you learn. Everyone is raising chickens and selling eggs these days. City ordinances are constantly being updated to allow raising chickens in town. You can even get local milk and cheese. And from milk you can easily make your own butter, whipped cream, ice cream, sour cream, cheese, and more. It's amazing how easy this stuff is. In my area they re-legalized selling cows milk straight from the farm (used to be commonplace when I was younger). even before I learned all of this, I was living off $120/person each 1 month for many years, which is a mere $4 per day (this was about 2020 prices). Back then I bought a lot of unhealthy easy foods/meals from the grocery store, and even ate out a few times per month. If you can't eat as cheaply as myself and others like me, just know you are missing out on a LOT of ways to save WAY more money on food. I don't even struggle to spend less than $2/meal. Just that other day i was eating something I made at $1.20/meal. And eventually I will be nearly 100% food independent, and likely make a net profit off my food.

  201.  @jamesg1974a  "High protein Whole Foods in the long run are cheaper or at least on par." cheaper for sure, much cheaper. I've tracked my spending for over 10yrs now. Every penny I spent and what I spent it on, to help save money. cutting out fast food and resturaunts in general saved me a TON of money every month. And I learned to cook more and more things, even getting to basic condiments being homemade and such. Gardening, canning, etc. I will be 100% food independent eventually too. But right now I am doing a high fat/protein diet and cooking my own meals at home and saving tons of money.

  210.  @smurphettem9042  the fetus is wholly dependent upon the host for survival. It takes resources from the host to survive, and complications from pregnancy can cause death. You cannot go up to a person and put a gun to their head and force them to donate organs or bodily resources to another human being to survive. You can't take blood, organs, marrow, etc. without consent. Yet you claim you can go up to another human being and put a gun to their head and Force them to give up bodily and monetary resources to support the life of another without their consent? Now, if a person willfully had sex and got pregnant due to carelessness and bad judgement, that's one thing. they entered into that knowing the risks and fully capable of taking responsibility. But when rape is involved, or the mother is at risk of death, and other misc. exceptions occur, (particularly where the pregnancy occurred without consent) they have every right to end the threat to their life and to their existence. In such situations the fetus can represent a mortal or psychological harm. If you tried to take an organ or other bodily resources from me without my consent, I'd do whatever was necessary to end the threat you represent to me.

To do that you need to make the gov far bigger than it is now, thus multiplying the waste and corruption by orders of magnitude. the larger teh gov gets, teh worse the corruption gets. this is why capitalists like smaller govs, as if you keep gov small enough, it's nearly impossible for corruption to exist as it's easy to track Everything the gov does. you have no clue what capitalism is, and even worse you have no idea what socialism is and how it works (or rather, fails, as it has never once worked in all of human history).

  226.  @snorkelfish  wrong. Corporatism is what happens when capitalism ceases to be enforced. Corporatism is anti-competitive, capitalism is pro-competition. Corporatism is when capitalist companies lobby the gov for bailouts, subsidies, occupational licensure, restricting the number of doctors there can be, passing laws to prevent small businesses from competing with them so they can create effective monopolies and deliver low quality products at high prices.... Capitalism is the opposite of that. But capitalism requires gov intervention and enforcement to preserve. it's people like you that don't know the difference that results in capitalism not being enforced, and enabling corporatism to take over.

Your argument against nuclear is the same as those arguing against electric vehicles 20yrs ago. Technology evolves and improves when you use it. and when you mass produce it, like new nuclear energy solutions can be, the cost drops dramatically. But, people who don't study history, economics, engineering, etc. don't know these things.

  252.  @Tukeen  Right there with you. I share a lot of these sentiments. Smaller schools, community driven. teach kids the skills needed to be successful as adults (math, reading, writing, science, history, gov, economics, finances, DIY repair of things like cars and houses, gardening/farming, life skills, entrepreneurship...). I have a whole idea on how to reduce teh total number of laws gov at all levels can pass. when you have so many laws on the books that even a team of lawyers can't make heads or tales of them, then we have a serious problem. It's literally impossible for any one person to know and understand every law that applies to them at any given place and time in their lives and that is unacceptable. We have too many laws for the sake of control/power as well as politicians thinking that's what their job is (to pass new laws). but it's not their job.

The side that claims scientific "consensus" can't accept the scientific data and facts. Newer SMR and thorium reactors don't melt down.

  274. There is Only one reason to censor something. Because you are afraid of people learning what the censored have to say. If what you are saying is true, you'd have nothing to fear from the critics. We don't censor flat earthers, because we don't fear them. We know they are wrong and they cannot prove the earth is flat no matter how hard they try.

  277. how many people replace their cars every 60k-100k miles? and those used cars are still too expensive for people to afford. and if they could afford it, it needs a new battery, which costs too much to replace. so teh whole car gets thrown out and a new one made. that is not sustainable.

  289.  @83licata  lack of tariffs is destroying the European EV car market, and only cheap, high-fire-risk Chinese EVs are dominating the market. There is so much more going on to drive prices up than tariffs than youre accounting for. you are trying to vastly oversimplify a complex system just so you can pin all the blame falsely on tariffs.

  298. "Progressives" hate Capitalism and blame the "system" because of their own lack of personal responsibility. No society is perfect, so some problems will always exist to a certain degree. At first these progressives get in office and make changes they think will improve things, slowly at first as the ideas are initially reasonable and worth at least trying sometimes. But over time they gain more power and push bigger ideas. Until, one day, it's become a single-party system in their region and they hold practically all of the local power and can do whatever they want. So, what do they do? They implement their Utopian ideas. Then, as their ideas fail to produce the results they should have (in a theoretically perfect society where everyone acts perfectly at all times), rather than accept the growing evidence their ideas don't work in the real world the way they think they will/should, and try something different, they instead choose to blame "the system". They claim their must be some other deep-seated and underlying evil that is preventing their utopia from succeeding. They assume a patriarchy must be to blame. Or they claim white European conquerors are to blame for enacting the greatest conspiracy in human history, somehow. Or, they blame capitalism, since they ironically become opposed to individual freedom and free expression, and incorrectly conflate corporatism and monopolistic/cartel behavior for capitalism. They simply cannot take responsibility for the policies they enacted, and even more so they refuse to accept that the problems they are seeing are the direct result of their own policies. They simply cannot accept that their ideas didn't work, will never work, and so something else must be preventing their ideas from succeeding. And so they throw fits and lash out in anger, violence, tyranny, and go mad as they start seeing everyone around them (even friends and allies) as a conspirator that is trying to cause their ideas harm.

  317. They fail to account for nature, fail to understand human nature. they truly believe they can bring about utopia. but for their ideas to work, absolutely every single person must participate and behave perfectly all the time. This simply isn't how reality works. Worth looking at is the Hawks and Doves studies. They prove that crime can never be eliminated, only minimized. accidents cannot be eliminated, only minimized. inequality cannot be eliminated, only minimized. Nature (physics? call it what you like) simply does not allow imbalance to exist. They try to build systems that fight nature, rather than work with nature.

  322.  @NathanRGraff  It's one thing to allow people to unionize, it's another thing to force them to unionize. And still another to force them to join a union that they disagree with. And still further it is wrong for people to use taxpayer dollars (public unions, funded by public sector employees' payroll, funded by taxpayers) to fund One political party over another. A person should not be forced to join a union if they don't feel the need, or if the union doesn't represent them and their concerns/values, and especially if that union funds political activism that is in Direct opposition to your personal views and values.

I suspect you may be a poor socialist, given how triggered you got by this, as well as your lack of comprehension of the English language, as well as lack of evidence to back up your accusations.

  338.  @sybo59  her whole philosophy is one of a political nature. It's all about how people should or shouldn't be governed. And understanding the underlying principles as to why that is. Politics is about human nature. Refuse to acknowledge human nature, and your ideas fail. Acknowledge and understand human nature and your ides can work. It's all interconnected. It's not a highly refined political roadmap, just a high level idea, but it is applicable. Philosophy covers many ideas, from physics and math, to warfare, economics and politics. Ayn Rand's philosophy is mostly about people and societal issues, hence government/political in nature.

They admitted doing that with climate change, over stating the issue, selling it as "Armageddon" in order to scare people into action (turning a nonissue into an issue). They think the end justifies the means. They think they are justified in committing atrocities, crimes, and immoral acts against others if it achieves the outcome they desire.
