We are now further away from the theatrical release of Raiders of the Lost Ark (June 12, 1981) than it was from the year it takes place in (1936). We have reached the Indiana Jones event horizon.

Point taken, but would you not be curious as to why all those sources are saying that? Like, what’s in it for all the mainstream and internet media to gin up a falsehood that everything is less affordable? Wouldn’t convincing everyone that money is tight be what businesses *wouldn’t* want to do?

Good morning to everyone but especially to Lady Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss, whose judgement against Rudy Giuliani for defaming them and turning their lives upside down cannot be pardoned away by the president

Running with this analogy, remember when we successfully distracted him for a day by getting him fixated on shower heads?

Other bathroom fixtures will likely work too

Trump is like a toddler: time he spends asleep is to be prized, not resented. Every minute he sleeps is a minute he is not tantruming or breaking things or smearing his own shit on things.

What drives me absolutely insane about this debate is how claims like “there has been a generational stagnation of purchasing power” have taken on the tenor of religious faith among progressives, and seemingly cannot be disproven with any evidence, no matter how overwhelming. It simply isn’t true!

Housing in metro areas is a real problem. But Will has a point about "affordability," which is really about "affording what you *want*," not what you might need.
Health care and housing? Yes, problems. The rest, not so much.

I agree abt conventional usage but my pet peeve is that word libertarian had to be invented to describe real liberals
