The Voice of Reason

A Voice of Reason in a sea of chaos and fanaticism.
I asked Grok to propose a set of policies to eliminate the federal deficit while keeping both Republicans and Democrats happy and it gave me perhaps the most reasonable plan I've ever seen. x.com/i/grok/share/A…
Social Homogeneity is only beneficial to accommodate simple-minded pawns. A society of obedient drones under an authoritarian rule functions better when everyone shares the same cultural paradigm.
So you think the floods in west NC and Texas were the government controlling the weather, and Hillary was running a sex trafficking ring out of a pizzeria basement. But you never thought that Trump might have had Epstein killed to cover up that he was his best friend for years?
That's precisely why climate change is a threat. Every location on earth has a typical range of hottest to coldest days, and driest to wettest days. We have built infrastructure around those relatively predictable ranges over hundreds of years. Climate change alters those…
If shooting yourself in the foot was a person, it would be Chip Roy. Conservatives say Trump won their megabill votes by promising crackdown on renewable energy credits - Live Updates - POLITICO politico.com/live-updates/2…
Trump's Big Beautiful Bill allocates $168 billion to ICE. That's over 3 times the budget of the entire marine core. This is the start of the largest domestically deployed paramilitary force in history. This force makes the Gestapo look like a neighborhood watch.
Americans were paying on average a few bucks per year to keep 30,000,000 people from starving to death, to Prevent 300,000,000 from getting malaria, to stop 10,000,000 from dying of Aids, to educate 50,000,000 people... Through the USAID program. At 0.3% of the federal budget.…
The reality no one is ready to wrap their heads around is that capitalism has been riding the wave of the industrial revolution, and the population explosion it enabled. There were only 1 Billion people on earth in 1800. That rapid growth left a wide open field for the diverse…
Bad policy will always interfere. The model has an inherent flaw. Capital is the basic unit of political power, and therefore the accumulation of capital will inevitably consolidate power and political benefits to the hands of the wealthy. Any policy that might interfere or…
She graduated magna cum laude from Harvard Law. She served as a federal district court judge for 9 years. She served on the Court of appeals for 2 years after that. She also worked as a public defender for 2 years She had more experience as a judge than justices Thomas,…
What if I told you that this is the inevitable result of capitalism? Without laws and regulations to prevent corporations from leveraging capital for political influence, conglomeration and regulatory corruption is inevitable. Capitalism can't function without some degree of…

Show where you got this number 41%.
The author blocked me for some reason so I can't reply to the post. But why would those numbers being equal, not make sense? Obviously, if the mother qualifies for Medicaid, her newborn does as well. Why would a newborn qualify for Medicaid but not their mother, or vice…
This number being equal makes no sense are you trying to say new mothers and their newborns ? Or new mothers plus another 41% of all newborns?
Imagine getting blocked by someone for posting facts.
Actually 41% of new mothers and newborns are covered by Medicaid. If that 41% are "destitute" then capitalism has failed us.
Someone please tag a conservative who can explain why a state-owned grocery store is communism... While Singapore (who has a state owned grocery store chain) is rated #1 out of all countries on the index of economic freedom by the @Heritage foundation?
A lot of people think that having government owned businesses is anti-capitalist. On the contrary this is one creative solution to the inherent flaw of capitalism. If the government is always competing with private businesses on a non-profit basis, they are constantly forced to…
At a certain point we are, as a society going to have to realize that "don't come into our country illegally or we'll let your baby die in prison" is abject insanity, and people who hold that view are the ones we should be deporting (or rather, exiling) on the grounds that they…
‘Cursed be anyone who perverts the justice due to the sojourner, the fatherless, and the widow.’ And all the people shall say, ‘Amen.’ Deuteronomy 27:19
This is the biggest problem in America today, and I don't see anyone talking about it.
Power grids supported by localized battery installations, and supplied by robust solar installations could make large-scale power outages a thing of the past.
