  1. 1:11:00 I like how Sowell chose the reunification era to talk about surging unemployment in Germany, since that is something that happens every other Wednesday. Likewise, the Japanese bubble collapsed around the same time, as someone who likes vintage Japanese bicycles I'm constantly reminded of it. He should work in an orchard, he's so good at cherry picking.

  7.  @ax14pz107  Cleveland OH used to smell of diesel and moss in the days before all the heavy manufacturing left. No black snot, but definitely a thing you could smell everywhere at once.

  10.  @keithwinget6521  there's the false dichotomy laid bare. There is no solution, true, but there are *solutions*. That is to say, there is no magic bullet, but we have a full magazine of techniques we can employ. The problem of selling them to the public one at a time allows for the trade-off narrative to creep in and take hold in the typically defeatist minds of the already overwhelmed populace.
