  1. We lost 1.4 million people because of folks like you. Your mother or grandmother (who probably died of COVID in a nursing home) must have been so proud of you. :-)

  2. A third world country that pays for the fourth world in the US South. ;-)

  3. You and three other folks? ;-)

  4. I had that since antiquity. If you study history, you will learn that the Mediterranean society broke down during the bronze age and required centuries to rebuild because the trading routes to the tin mines got disrupted and people couldn't make high quality bronze without the tin anymore. :-)

  5. @ Sarcasm doesn't work on the internet. :-)

  6. @ I wasn't expecting you to. ;-)

  7. @ Where do you see problems with resource availability, anyway? Is there ANYTHING in this world that you can't buy? ;-)

  8. Yes, people are getting cynicism, anti-government politics and ever worse living conditions for the poor. ;-)

  9. America has very little red tape compared to Europe. There is nothing one can learn there. It's the other way around. Europe could learn from us. Or could have until we became a banana republic. ;-)

  10. @ Dude, are you an AI? Are you completely free of common sense? Rail DOES NOT WORK in the US. The population density is way too small and the major population centers are way too far apart from each other. Of course nobody with half a brain wants to build it. It took politicians without brain to push it through. ;-)

  11. Nobody benefits from either rail or no rail. Rail is not a viable solution in the US. I have been commuting on a very expensive and quite luxurious local rail system in the US for years. That was me and one more person. It would have been cheaper for the community to call a limo for the two of us than to operate those 100 tons of steel with electric motors. ;-)

  12. @ Say, if you are such a gifted politician, why aren't you running? Shouldn't you at least be governor of a state by now? ;-)

  13. Can't be helped. Most people are stupid and will always stay stupid.

  14. @ 90+% of your students don't have critical thinking skills. Don't kid yourself.

  15. Only states that are doing well are "becoming too expensive". If you want a cheap state, then you have to move to a crime infested dump. :-)

  16. The lack of public housing is the result of NIMBY policies at the local level. There is very little the federal government can do about that. Home owners who own half a million dollar single family residences don't want to have quarter million dollar flats built next to them. That is all there is to it. That's not even wealth being unreasonable. That's the lack of wealth being unreasonable.

  17. Neoliberalism has nothing to do with liberalism. You are confused, even at the language level. ;-)

  18. The Republicans keep emphasizing that they are the party of working millionaire families, though. Make that billionaire now. ;-)
