    Who JD Vance Could Have Been

    Jump

  • I read Hillbilly Elegy shortly after it came out due to the prompting of a conservative acquaintance. It is such an infuriating book because he comes SO close to getting it. Instead of acknowledging that he only got where he is through the help of others including government welfare, he decides he is a Special Boy and would have been great regardless.

  • What's your kinda-unimpressive 'claim to fame'?

    Jump

  • I wrote for 7 or 8 books of a popular role playing game. Won an industry award at GenCon for one of them.

  • It all seems harmless until some nutbar prosecutor drags you to court in Provo on charges of whale poaching (or more likely sues your airline for making chemtrails).

    What are the best cheap crafts for men?

    Jump

  • It may not seem cheap at first, but 3D printing. What it costs to set up, you can quickly make up by not having to spend money on things you can just print for yourself. There are loads of little plastic parts that break that cost a fortune to replace. I've done new shelf brackets for my fridge and new locking clips for my windows for example. On top of that I've printed loads of presents for people. My mom can't stop talking about the windmill I printed for her deck.

  • What popular belief do you disagree with?

    Jump

  • If the essentials of life are all shifted to "welfare capitalism" the power of class and capital to subjugate is greatly diminished. Add in mass union membership and it gets even better.

  • What popular belief do you disagree with?

    Jump

  • Not really. It's entirely possible to pick and choose. We chose a socialist model for fire department because the capitalist model proved disastrous. Many countries successfully did the same for healthcare, retirement, and all sorts of things. At the same time, capitalism is great when you want a million choices on TV to watch or a grocery store with a whole aisle of different types of cookies.

    To me, the difference is the impact of failures. If someone starts a company making a new type of cookie and it proves not to be profitable, it goes bankrupt. Unfortunate, but ultimately not a big deal. If someone has cancer and curing them isn't profitable, you can't just give up. That person's life is more important than profit.

  • What popular belief do you disagree with?

    Jump

  • People argue back and forth whether capitalism or socialism/communism is a superior system and they are all wrong. Those concepts are just tools. Saying one economic system applies to all situations is as silly as saying the only tool you need to build a house is a hammer.

  • Sarah McBride was key to turning four Republicans against Marjorie Taylor Greene’s transphobic bill

    Jump

  • It worked with Israel/Palestine with the last election, why wouldn't they keep up the subversive manipulation?

  • Sarah McBride was key to turning four Republicans against Marjorie Taylor Greene’s transphobic bill

    Jump

  • Individuals, maybe, but as a party? No, that is a lie.

    Every step forward for trans people has been through the Democratic party. Every step back has come from the Republican party.

  • Sarah McBride was key to turning four Republicans against Marjorie Taylor Greene’s transphobic bill

    Jump

  • Which of the two parties is trying to block gender affirming care for minors? Which is trying to block trans athletes from sports? Which wants people to pass laws that people can only use bathrooms based on their birth sex? Which is having books with trans depictions removed from libraries?

    Dems aren't perfect, but pretending there is no difference is just lying.

  • Unfortunately, not true.

    the analysis offered in this Article indicates three things: (1) America’s voters can legally place that person in the vice-presidency; (2) that person can later succeed from that office to the presidency; and (3) if such a succession occurs, no cap on the duration of resulting presidential service will inhibit that person from serving out the full remainder of the term.
