I like lifting weights and private equity. lawyer.

To someone (like me) who grew up under communism, every book set in America was an emphatic endorsement of capitalism. Take Killshot by Elmore Leonard, which I read as a kid. This construction worker owns a two story house!? His wife is a real estate agent? 1/x.
I asked a colleague in the English department if any fiction had positive depictions of business and capitalism (other than Ayn Rand). He mischievously suggested George Bernard Shaw's Major Barbara to me--here is my review. Anyone else have other ideas?

@AnarchyConverse I know this is really difficult for you to understand, but sometimes a person really enjoys a book. It’s not necessarily about you.

@flurtynthriving Yes it’s so strange, bizarre even, that sorority girls are doing cutesy musical numbers.

@thechosenberg That’s …mostly not true. Laws are written in a weird language because most words used in statutes have technical meanings and nested definitions.

@Bartaway Nor is he saying it is. Don’t conflate etymology with meaning. But he’s entirely correct about the etymology. @CommunityNotes come get your man.

@mattyglesias Matt, are you aware that there are different ecosystems, such as plains, arid highlands, deserts, etc.? I don’t think Germany has a lot of deserts. What was your point, anyway?.

@Slatzism tbh I think a lot of dudes have that reaction, but that’s not the kind of reaction that compels a desire to post. I only post mine because so many weirdo retards find this threatening or disgusting for some reason.

@redsteeze Man can you fucking imagine where the trans community would be now if they had nipped in the bud any efforts to impose the pronoun stuff and, instead, insisted on communicating politely, with a focus on why it matters to them, rather than on why we have to do it?.

@wojinald I think that’s exactly right. Their basis for comparison is the communist utopia in their heads.

@sfmcguire79 @benshapiro She has a truly hideous, disconcerting face. I don’t just mean its structure, which is certainly nothing exciting, but the rage and psychopathy so evident in her eyes, and what it implies about her smile… just a terrifying human.

@growing_daniel Absolutely. Last time I was on one was flying to Israel in 2004. The Mossadnik somehow found out I was a U.S. army veteran and invited me to first class, which was on the upper deck. I was the only one there. Best flight ever.

@hasanthehun Hasan, if a U.S. President and the man who revolutionized both the auto industry and space travel are failsons, what does that make some cunt whose job is playing video games and talking to a camera?.

@chinesegon “She never fills up the car.” . Bro, no woman has ever pumped gas. I’ve been married, almost impossibly happily, for 10 years, and my wife has never put gas in the tank.
