> while the west is using its fossil fuel resources to shove crayons up its nose what a bunch of empty invective

Wait so there was near universal outcry on the left about “Jan 6 insurrection” but assassination of public figures is actually fine if they have a low approval rating and allegedly…

> they effectively subsidize residents the universities are swimming in money, it's not an actual subsidy and in my experience ends up just crowding out native students

The worst metric obsession that defines things now is stock price, which really went into overdrive with the financialization of the 70s~80s. Of course financialization was downstr…

I feel similarly.

I'm not sure how this applies to what I said.

It's an outrage once you work at these companies and behold the sheer dysfunction and they're all getting paid wages native American citizens would take.

Ah got it. I think the idea of knowledge management is maybe misguided when applied to economics. Knowledge in economic terms is much less definite because prices reflect subjectiv…

Pure ignorance and stubbornness on their part. If they admitted they were wrong, they'd have to do serious self-reflection and reform their worldview, it's insulation. There's peop…

another unit test defense: they're the most accessible and inspectable in the sense that you have practically zero barrier of running it immediately in your IDE and stepping throug…
