I consider myself a strong advocate of free markets and capitalism (e.g., discussions here on tariffs), but we have to recognize situations that involve market failures, public goods, and free riders. Most of us benefit from roads, for example, but we also have an incentive to not pay our fair share...

How could they be "let in" if, by definition, "Native American" literally means they were already here? That doesn't make any sense. Sorry. An attempt at a joke. :) Ahh, gotcha. Try leaning into irony, or goof on current trends. For example.... Asian: 1980: 3.5M 2020: 20.2M +477% ^^^^^ what happens...

How does your worldview address threats from other countries? E.g., Japan in WWII, or the concern about Russia during the Cold War? Even for the sake of argument, the "invasions" at the borders by people seeking a better life here? On border security, Trump has increased that, and obviously that is...

Do you have locks on your doors? Do you lock your car when you leave it in a parking lot? How is that any different than citizens trying to protect our country? Are you seriously confused between private security and organized crime? It's not my "country" by my consent. I was forced into my social ...

New pictures released today of Epstein attending Trump's wedding. What does it all mean? Who knows? That was in 2006. Nearly 20 years ago. Trump banned the guy from Mar-A-Lago. I don't see this as anything but a coincidence. Any of us talk to someone from 20 years ago that we wouldn't talk to today...
