re: Texas governor vote totals don’t make sense.
Posted by funnystuff on 11/7/26 at 8:05 am to SouthEasternKaiju
Talk to people on the ground in Texas. You’ll understand that fraud wasn’t needed for republicans to get destroyed this year.
I was listening to Phil Gramm talk on Wednesday… there were a lot of old money republicans in the room. I got the feeling that they went 70% blue in this election. I was talking with a bonds trader from SWBC… he said his entire team when blue.
They just wanted predictability. It’s a lot easier for them to make money when national policy isn’t developed at 3:30am via Twitter.
I think they made the wrong choice… but you don’t need fraud to explain why they made it.

You still needed men to turn the wheel.
And the wheel was broad purpose, not general purpose. Those are two different things.

How did this thread so quickly divulge into both sides calling the other racist?
Y’all are badly burying the lead. The far more interesting story is that we are officially entering the age in which upcoming politicians have lived their entire lives on social media. Meaning we’re about to start seeing this play out again and again and again. How the electorate responds to a dumb rant a drunk kid made once in college could be a heavy signal on how the next two decades of our politics unfolds. This will be interesting to watch.

Honest question… for someone hearing about this for the first time right now (ie me), how can we tell if the original was fake or if the axioms fact check is fake?

re: I’ve noticed Pope Leo seems selective on the current affairs he chimes in on…

quote:Pope speaks on abortion
He doesn’t have much to say about the abortion Mills in his own home state
quote:
“In light of this profound vision of life as a gift to be cherished, and of the family as its responsible guardian, we categorically reject any practice that denies or exploits the origin of life and its development,” the pope firmly stated, calling abortion a practice that “cuts short a growing life and refuses to welcome the gift of life.”
Delivering the address in English, he told the diplomats that the Holy See “considers it deplorable that public resources are allocated to suppress life, rather than being invested to support mothers and families. The primary objective must remain the protection of every unborn child and the effective and concrete support of every woman so that she is able to welcome life.”
quote:Pope on family and criminal recruitment
or the gang violence in Chicago.
quote:
“Today, we bear witness to the pain of many broken families, whether due to drug use, violence, the criminal recruitment of a child, poverty, or the lack of opportunities that push people to the margins of society,” Leo explained.
“The family, which the Second Vatican Council rightly called the ‘domestic church,‘ is the place where life is nurtured, cared for, and planned. There is no better defense against drugs than a good family,” Leo said.

quote:Pope on the slaughter of religious groups in africa
or about the Muslim extremists slaughtering innocents in Africa.
quote:
“There’s a question of terrorism. There’s a question that has to do a lot with economics, if you will, and control of the lands that they have,” the pope continued. “Unfortunately, many Christians have died, and I think it’s very, it’s important to seek a way for the government, with all peoples, to promote authentic religious freedom.”

And strategic subsidization.
The Chinese government wants the world to depend on them, so they massively subsidize key industries to ensure that competitors cannot match their prices. Instead of holding them accountable for this power-pursuing market manipulation, we opted for the short run profits this manipulation generated and made them a full member of the WTO

re: I just created this image using AI which requires a Data Center
Posted by funnystuff on 9/20/26 at 10:19 pm to FLTech
The fact that people have only just begun complaining about data centers in the last couple of years is pretty strong evidence that it’s not the data centers that they are actually upset about; it’s the AI.
The data center is just the only part of the AI production process that a local municipality has any control over. So it’s the fight that average people actually have the capacity to wage.

re: Trump pushes back to fight inflation.
Posted by funnystuff on 9/20/26 at 6:06 am to OccamsStubble
No, inflation is a rise in aggregate prices.
Increasing the supply of currency is the biggest driver of inflation, but it is not inflation itself.

Yes it is
Inflation is when the price of everything goes up, including factors of production. Labor is a factor of production.
With that said, well under half of the population has a wage that is keeping up with inflation right now. If inflation accelerates, that portion will be even lower

Guns don’t have their own objectives, nor do they have the ability to independently pursue those objectives without human intervention.
That is a horrible analogy. A far better one would be receiving a transmission from another solar system that read, “people of earth, we are coming to your planet… prepare”.
The fact that we apparently have no interest in preparing is mind blowing
