  • It wasn’t so much confusing as it was over saturated, like not even half the candidates had statements in the voter pamphlet and many didnt respond to questionnaires or anything. City council was even worse, my district had the entire back of the page filled with candidates like 20+ names.

    I’m someone that likes to take time and research candidates, I’m all for choice, I’d rather have it than not, but I can certainly see how it turned people off of the idea, perhaps intentionally.





  • I wish people who claim to know about economics understood what a hypothetical is.

    So I’m talking about “if we had a magic wand” and here you go changing the rules and taking it away.

    I’m sure there are places for economics professors such as yourself to discuss these things seriously, but this ain’t it.

    Now taking back my magic wand, I’m also casting a spell to take advantage of the fact that stocks can be used as collateral for loans, and since my first cast was to move the funds to a public trust I’m now directing said trust to take out loans and give everyone housing, they’ll be paid back over time by a combination of gradually selling off the remaining stocks at a pace that doesnt shock the market…

    But I swear if you take my wand away again when I get it back I’m just going to crash the stock market out of spite.
