Same, same, for me, appendicitis, for my son, NICU.
Similar thing for me and the NICU.
Oh, my kid needs to be transferred within three hours to stay alive? Hold on, let me call around on Christmas Eve for the best price on a condition we haven’t even ID’d yet.
These people are deeply unserious.

worth noting here that the position of the conservative legal movement is that trying to remedy environmental racism is itself illegal race discrimination

Immigrants ‘plucked out of line’ at citizenship ceremony at Faneuil Hall “the cradle of liberty”.
If you ever claimed you want immigrants to do it the right way, this should outrage you. On the other hand, If you think this was okay, you need to come to terms with your white nationalist views.

Every time I read about the network state it’s like: At long last, we have created the no-adults island society from classic social science novel Lord of the Flies.
"Srinivasan himself has started a 'Network School' on an artificial island near Singapore, where techno-optimists can work their day jobs remotely while living in a hotel together and learning how to 'bootstrap'... a new society [ — ] 'society-as-a-service'"

They want to escape from regulation and ‘failing’ democracy — but are they more opportunistic than libertarian?
