Hmm. . . could do billions of dollars worth of improvements.

He was also the first to use "sick fuck." Post #385.

Good stewardship of the public treasury is essential to a healthy country. I hope you get some.

Supporting the dictatorship there?

D-Cup, a vice-principal in an elementary school, acting as a substitute teacher that day, read the children's book I Need A New Butt to a second-grade class. He was fired. Do you approve? Here's the Goodreads summary and rating. . . Goodreads

Deliberately missed the point. As a former conservative, the part that disturbs me most about the neo-cons is that they always, always, always lie.

If he was on exercise, I would certainly hope he was shouting "bang bang" rather than firing live ammo.

Your whataboutery makes it clear that you support the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

Simple-minded people like dichotomies. It saves having to think, which they find painful and terrifying.

I'm sure you could. But it would not be cost-free. You may be confident that the current oil production, refining, and distribution system developed in the way that was cheapest, considering existing infrastructure, transportation, and methods. Any non-economic factors like "Oil from...

As I understand it, most of the emissions come from burning, not from extraction. As a global matter, therefore, would it not make sense to have the largest possible amount of fossil be extracted in countries that have good environmental and industrial standards? It would make no difference to...

The more time goes by, the less the rack counts for.

For about half the population.

Thank you. Yes, for well over a century the standard for ethical medical decision-making has been "which is most likely to benefit from treatment?" As you say, that is the basis of the brutal but necessary practice of triage. I find neither of the alternatives, "who deserves it more?" and...

Good idea. Better yet, you could include "total lifetime taxes paid" as a mandatory item on the paperwork.

That's nice. Have a day.

Be one heck of a decision matrix. Do you give the bed to the one who needs it most, or the one who deserves it most? Let's say you have one ventilator left. Do you give it to the unvaxxed Covid patient or the smoker?
