We have a new technology that is extremely impressive and is getting better very quickly. It was the fastest growing product ever. So in this case you cannot dismiss the technology because it doesn't understand trick questions yet.

    No no no you see it's more complicated. No, I can't explain it. I don't fully understand, myself. I can't personally defend the Confederacy but I identify with them strongly and questioning them makes me angry. Instead I'm going to attack you, Joe Biden, communists, and BLM in order to derail the conversation.

    But also it's not really sarcasm it's more like satire because I truly feel like some Republicans think this way.

    They were protecting their way of life!

    To enslave others

    They were defending against northern aggression!

    While the north died to free black human beings

    They had economic anxiety!

    Because they didn't want to work like the slaves were

    The inflation is caused by a conglomeration of things, and mostly not from us giving out stimulus. Trump is a clown but he didn't cause the inflation.

    The inflation is supply side. That means it's caused by reduced stuff, not increased money. The Russian war caused oil to skyrocket and that caused a significant amount of the inflation.

    Newt may have been the last but that's his own fault. He oversaw the GOP as it shifted from everyday "shitty conservatives" to insurrectionist nationalists.

    I just want to make sure I get that off my chest. Newt heavily contributed to starting this. He's the original McConnell. He wrote the playbook.

    Crypto enthusiasts don't really care or understand decentralization. If you talk to crypto bros you will realize pretty quickly that a lot of them are very very low IQ morons.

    I was at an event and met a crypto bro. He tried to explain to a group of us that btc is like moss and the world is the forest. A couple people legitimately "got it" and began to get excited about crypto.

    For better or worse it is unrealistic to expect business to just eat rising costs just because they got into business before the costs were so high. That would be nice but it's just not how the world works. If that were true then entire economies would collapse every time there was an economic shock.
