I guess Grijalva's constituents will get a 50 day tax break? No taxation without representation and all that.

Out of the many things Trump is, one of the most important is he acts as a signifier of all the hate and impotent rage to display strength in the hearts of his followers. He is asleep, but they go on about strength, not because of him, but because they project their need to be strong.

Thanks for the meme. I love that argument. I reposted the image with alt text, I liked it so much.

Just inspire young men. Tell them to protect and provide, for their family, friends, and whole community. Tell them to practice integrity. Tell them to be kind. Tell them that they can achieve beyond their circumstance.
But _don't_ juxtapose this, directly or subtly, with what women do.

I despise the zero sum game analysis here. "Men must protect, provide" is great provided it is recognized that "women must protect and provide" too.

A certain kind of man can't offer inspiring advice to young men without juxtaposing it against women.

"The national government that understands its token as a public coordination device, rather than simply a commodity or unit of exchange, will immediately reap the rewards."

It made me wonder, what is the timeline for the invention of interest and how does that affect public coordination?
