I appreciate his response to criticism of his city-run grocery store initiative. I can’t recall the exact wording, but it was something like “If it doesn’t work, we’ll cancel it”. I don’t mind an experiment like this as long as the people involved are results-oriented and willing to pivot if evidence shows it’s not working.
This reminds me of a story from “They thought they were free”. A Jew was accused of raping a woman. The judge heard the case and determined he was innocent. However, the gestapo were waiting outside the court to nab the accused as soon as the trial ended.
The judge decided to stick to his verdict instead of ruling guilty to put him in a normal prison instead of a concentration camp. After all, how could he justify ruling an innocent man guilty, even if that was objectively a better result for the man?
I think you misunderstood the commenter you replied to. The issue is he’s blaming Thor as if Thor singlehandedly killed the initiative, when in reality it’s a wider societal issue.
Also, if you get up at 11, you could just go get lunch.
Ground floor apartment here. Winter is hell, the storage area in the basement below us is unheated, so the apartment feels like Siberia. Summer is glorious though, nice and cool even in the middle of the most brutal heatwave.
Downvoted for complaining about downvotes. The internet points do nothing. Everyone please downvote me so I can demonstrate how little it matters.
This is what underfunding education for decades and TikTok does to a country. Romania has the highest number of TikTok users per capita in Europe.
To me, “guys” has been a gender-neutral term for a while now. At least that’s how it’s used here in my little bubble in Europe.

Incidentally, I guess? Still a powerful neoliberal female leader. This was written based on Thatcher.
In Uni I ran Gentoo as my daily driver. It was stupid, but I learned a lot.
Trying and failing to get a working desktop environment, using IRC on the command line to get help from people who knew what they were doing and could advise a dumb kid like me, following their advice and getting a working DE after a reboot was the most hackerman I ever felt. I was convinced I was real hot shit. In actuality, I’d followed the advice to tweak the kernel config to get working drivers :))
There’s also the issue that the US needs to sell bonds at higher and higher yields just to convince them it’s worth the risk.
As far as I understand it (not an economist), that might lead to a debt spiral.
Switzerland or Finland?
is it called Jewish or Jews in this case?
Jews. A thing can be Jewish, a group of people can be Jews. Another rule of thumb you can use is adjective vs noun.
There are plenty of anti-Israeli Jews. Don’t paint us all with the same brush.
59 / 49 = 1.2 Hegseconds / Truss.
Alternatively, the Truss / Scaramucci conversion would be 49 / 11 = 4.45
This is a time of crisis, and both the Squad specifically and the American progressive movement in general are letting a good crisis good to waste
What would you recommend they do? And how would they go about doing that within the strictures of a two-party system where one is fascist and the other is captured?
That’ll last all of 1 week before a large percentage of new homeowners run out of money and start using the house as collateral with no hope of paying back loans.
The most effective solution I’ve ever heard of is the Norwegian housing first model, where the house itself remains under state control (at least at the start). As the occupant goes through rehab if necessary, retraining if necessary, is helped to find a job, etc, they can start paying towards the house and eventually fully buy it from the state. Meanwhile, the state can use that money to buy/build more social housing to help more people.
Disclaimer: I’m not an expert but that’s how it works as far as I’ve read.
Edit: Oh, fun fact, this is similar to how the rich made so much money during COVID. Throw money at the poor, they have to spend that money, money goes to companies, then the owners.
