  1. ​@PotThoughts I remember when Rogan praised Bill Gates as a philanthropist -- more than once. The benefits of not smokin' is a solid memory.

  8. Not what it said. It said income tax. You aren't believing it, is the problem.

  9. ​@krenwregget7667 You have no idea how he got rich, do you? Quite a lot of legal documents from suits against him could enlighten you.

  13. @ConspiracyGamesAndPodcastClips  I'm commenting on what she actually says. You are right that she may not believe what she says, or feel what feelings she expresses in words. In fact, that's more astute on your part than on mine.

  16. The biggest Ponzi scheme is the current stock market.

  17. Gideon Levy was best, as usual.

  18. Take a look at Clinton v. City of New York, where the Court struck down the line-item veto as unconstitutional. Justice Stevens wrote that opinion, and he was appointed to the Court from the Seventh Circuit, too. The Seventh has this reputation, as being more intellectual overall and less likely to be partisan.

  19. @lachlanbell8390  No, just talking about jurisdiction doesn't make you right. All nine Justices take jurisdiction into account always.

  20. @lachlanbell8390  It's based on federal statute, as usual. It's our agency.

  21. @DeSmith-o4b  No, start with Court Listener and read the complaint.

  22. This video shows why Musk and Vivek are so useful to Trump. When this implodes, Trump's fans will blame them.

  23. Okay, WHO is surprised?

  24. Have you ever seen Frontline The Confessions, about the Norfolk Four?

  25. Why would he care? Private jet, privileged information about flights and air traffic controllers on duty. Simple.

  26. I still remember when Rogan praised Gates as a philanthropist. The first time, I figured it's a one-off, but then he kept it up.

  27. That happened when he bought Tesla, and silenced one of the actual founders.

  28. Well, thanks for proving you have exactly the politicians you deserve. Russia, whether Soviet or post-Soviet, is looking better every day, and from the looks of things (BRICS, etc.), most of the world agrees. The 401k has existed since 1978 -- two generations. Did you know that 90%+ of retirees don't have enough money to retire on their 401k alone? How is that a plan?

  29.  @natas12rm  Remember when Bill Gates was God? Yeah, that turned out great.

  30. Sorry, the COO is the coward. He doesn't believe in free speech. He believes in his paycheck. That is why he can say NOTHING of any importance whatsoever. Did you hear a defense of freedom of speech? Yeah, me neither. It's not clear to me why Davidai was wrong to confront this guy. Free speech for this guy, too. (I saw no intimidation in the video clips, but considering his antics, who knows?) No, "stalking" a top-level university administrator with a videocam in a public place that I assume is a designated free speech forum is FINE BY ME. Not above his paygrade. He's supposed to be able to TALK.

  31. And this is over visas. Suppose someone says something real about agency capture? Government contracts? Monopolies? . . . TAXES?

  32. 3:26 He looks terrible. Why can't he answer? Let's hear a spirited defense for free speech fora on university campuses.

  33. Brie has always been consistent: when she was co-host on The Hill and she agreed with some narrow point Trump made, she said so.

  34.  @alfredpeasant5980  It's not all about you, all the time. No, really. I swear.

  35. First of all, how many people do you imagine that is? Perhaps 1 or 2% of households headed by a person age 65 or older -- at best. Do you think that would solve an otherwise "insoluable" problem? The 401k has existed for about two generations now, and at best 10% can fund their own retirement with their 401k -- probably an overestimate. How is that a plan? Moreover, markets are volatile. Someone age 80 could make a grave miscalculation and suddenly not have the means to maintain themselves. Universal programs that recognize the facts about the human condition have the most support for a reason.

  39. So check their claims. You find out fascinating stuff that way.

  40. You do realize that they pledge stock to take out loans? When they live on debt, they pay no tax. Other posts explaining more about how they run this are routinely removed.

  41. YT just did me.

  42. Evidence?

  43. @leoantonio  I'm not clear on what institutions he believes "made this country great." As for all the pseudo-progressive NewSpeak/New Chatter, it serves as some sort of major distraction, to the benefit of the same class. It reminds me of the way "affirmative action" in Ivy League admissions was used as a fig leaf for legacy/special development admissions, which may account for how roughly half of the seats in the freshman class are allocated. We got a glimpse behind the curtain concerning all that, at Harvard, when two billionaires tussled over who would be university president. Ackman won over Pritzker.

  45. Um, can we go quite that far? Uncertain . . . 😂

  46. Even a line-item veto by the President is unconstitutional.

  47. @louurich9087  The problem with the trades is having to save like crazy, because you might have to retire 10 to 15 years before everyone else, when the reality for most people is having to work until 70, 72. Liberal Arts at least gives you a foundation so that you can retool later. As for what most people study, well . . . the most common degree is in Business, and has been for about 35 years, if not longer. Next come the Health Sciences, with Nursing on top. What did you think people were studying? College is trade school for most people. As for a Bachelor's in Business, unless a person gets a CPA or takes advanced mathematics and finance, that is a useless degree -- apart from signaling docility. An English major with a calculus sequence and a minor in Economics will get into law school or a top MBA program first. Most people in liberal arts are planning to get an advanced degree, of which there are many besides MD, JD, MBA, or PhD: MSW, MFA, MPA, MPH, MLS, DPsy in clinical psychology, school psychology, etc., and a bunch more I can't remember. Still, basically agreeing with you. Of course STEM ebbs and flows, and for exactly the reason you said.

  48.  @_m_K_.  Law school plus an LLM in patent law. That's serious money.
