@txsalth2o I'm not sure anyone has ever changed an opinion based on FB posts. It's just absurd ranting & memes (that are often insanely ignorant & wrong).

@ScottAdamsSays CBO uses static budgets. I.e. 1% tax cut reduces revenue by 1% - assuming there is no economic response. This leads to tax increases even if they don't end up increasing revenue.

@MichaelAArouet I keep wondering this. Usually, when markets are at extremes, they eventually* revert. But I'm betting against Germany. What about the rest? *Alan Greenspan's "irrational exuberance" speech was in 1996; the market never got below that.

@ScottAdamsSays I used to work at a machine-shop that made replacement parts for old military planes. Every single MIL spec has been replaced multiple times. So finding which material & process supercedes & meets the spec on the blueprint was hurculean.

@BrianNorgard @naval @elonmusk always pursues what humanity needs most - no matter how impossible. - First US car co in 80 years, because we needed electric. - Private rocket company because we need to be mutiplanetary. - X because we needed free speech again.

@BasedHypnotist Conservatives & men - or a subset of each (insert Venn diagram here) - take humans as they are; accept biases; embrace individual outliers. Leftists (women) are more likely to embrace the utopian myth & in-group who also does; shun those who question dogma.

@txsalth2o @fedupmom12 I learned this the hard way. Most memorable was when I said Fauci was clearly lying about masks. I had no idea at the time that it had become political. People on FB can't reason.

@Partisangirl It's an efficient way to dispose of equipment. But I feel sad for the young men inside.
