Tune in for subjects ranging from sensible politics, technology, markets, and self-improvement.

We demonstrate how to have serious disagreements with humour and respect
That's why I didn't mention small businesses 😜 If you're not making more than $300,000 in personal income then you're not the problem with our capital markets, by the data. Small businesses are picking up most of the tax slack that poor people can't pay and corporations avoid paying.
lol it's in the freezer, don't let me forget about it ;p

Boycotts work, I condone boycotting soottify.

But I am also a musician and have called for their boycott for reasons of ownership and royalty payments for years now anyway lol.

There are more serious consequences to being their patrons beyond advertising ICE... most people can't even apply there!
#CancelSpotify

They are running ICE ads.

They aren't the only company, but I think we should make an example out of Spotify and do an economic boycott against companies supporting masked, armed agents terrorizing innocent Americans with impunity.

Spread the word.

This is one of many viable strategies for socialism while retaining the efficiency benefits of capitalism without risk of corruption, regatiry capture, green washing, or risk burdens being distributed linearly with reward. Companies would need employee permission by workers to expand on debt.
Markets would likely never crash if companies cld only access credit by having their employees personally underwrite it.

If banks extended the bulk of credit to people instead of legal entities called corporations, we'd not only null moral hazard but they'd be forced to curry favour of their staff.

Why is anyone willing to spend a moment arguing if they're unwilling to spend a moment with a dictionary before articulating their contentious views?

Mussolini defined fascism but authoritarian ultra-nationalism ie: literally the meaning & agenda defining "#MAGA", so it's not hyperbolic to say so.
Should I save you some? You're a soup fan right?
Lmfao he's so repugnant and vile, listening to ben Shapiro speak makes me need drugs to sit through it and try to maintain objectivity. But he always disappoints so profoundly I spaz out from trying to parse the nonsense impartially lol

Once again you've got the right approach I never learn 😅
Jesus christ man, just stop. Forget I asked, I'll catch up tomorrow.

Pakistan crying foul of Afghanistan government (now: OG Taliban) for harbouring terrorists named "Taliban" (those residing in Pakistan) harbouring and sponsoring terrorist Taliban (OG) for decades in order to secure ties to pit against their other neighbour (India) is Shakespearean to the core.

Organizers have reported 7 million attendees at the No Kings events and we’re happy to confirm 7 million and counting! More events are still happening across the country today, so we’ll need additional time to fully certify the final numbers.

Lol I take your point but oversimplifications are less helpful than they are persuasive. Education means specifics.

The argument is objectively dumb.

God made the brain emergent from chemistry, but he can't explain slavery is wrong to stupid people he created while they were busy building geometrically perfect pyramids using bricks from the other side of the continent?

... It's objectively stupid.

Ben Shapiro: "God isn't perfect enough or powerful enough or smart enough to explain to people in plain language that slavery is bad, but God is omnipotent and created time and physics itself to become brains..."
