  • Right Wing defines "Left" as anyone with the least bit of empathy and/or basic intelligence.

    Real "Leftists" exclude any potential ally who disagrees on any point, no matter how obscure.

  • One thing people forget is that it was Big Food that wanted regulations.

    After the book came out, it was almost impossible for American companies to sell their products overseas. Teddy knew that slapping a government label attesting to quality would mean that American companies would be able to make big profits.

  • My personal favorite Kurt Vonnegut book is 'Mother Night.' At one point the narrator is in an Israeli prison awaiting trial for war crimes. He has a conversation with one of his guards. The guard was a prisoner in a concentration camp. Every day the guard would hear an announcement, "Corpse carriers to the guard house." Every day he heard it, and finally he volunteered for the job.

  • Why do you think so many societies decided that women are inferior? When the lord beats the serf, the lord knows the serf will go home and beat his wife. If the man and wife were equals they'd be more likely to join together to kill the lord.

  • The most good for the most people, with enough leeway that those who feel unsatisfied can find a constructive outlet and/or isolate themselves. Look at Star Trek TOS for a good representation of what a post scarcity world might look like.

  • Eurema's Dam by R. Lafferty

    https://ebookslib.org/sf/12898-eurema-s-dam.html

    In this comic science fiction story, the author proposes that the only people who are truly inventive are those who are too inept to do anything else. The hero, unable to do simple math, invents a calculator at age six. He goes on to create any number of useful inventions, including intelligent robots who mock him as a buffoon.

  • If any rich people think that Trump will protect them, they are fools.

    He's been snubbed by the Manhattan elites for decades, and any one who hasn't bent the knee will be on his list.

  • It's been over four years since she promised to give a press conference and explain how a nudie model got an Einstein visa.

    Also, I can't believe that Stormy Daniels never thought to do a DVD with Melania and Ivanka look-alikes.

  • The only reason I don't think Melania has any ties to Putin is that she wouldn't treat Donnie so shabbily if she had to keep him on a leash. Remember she stayed in NYC for six months at the start of his first term. A handler would be in constant contact.
