The case for minting a $1tn coin to deal with America’s debt ceiling.
The case for minting a $1tn coin and giving it to me: I want to buy Idaho. Maybe New Mexico, too.

100 to Now
Just thinking about how when I joined the Army, I had $100 in cash that my grandmother gave me and that was it.
Life is so much better now.
I Was Not On a Boat That Day
I doubt many recall how much saying this kind of thing would get you ridiculed in March 2020. (cc @balajis) pic.twitter.com/M6R5xZRXBO

I remember! People coming out of the woodwork to say the flu was much worse, and that’s what we should be worried about, and that being concerned with Covid or taking any precautions was “racist.”
Held up really well, huh?
Enemies By Name
Letting dipshits hurt themselves is something I am all for, if it were just the vocal anti-vaxxers who were harming themselves only. How my enemy chooses to be defeated and humiliated — well, I don’t have much preference about the way that transpires. If they do it to their own fool self is even better than me having to waste effort on losers.
But the problem is the anti-vaxxers harm others: those who can’t be vaccinated and the disabled particularly, but also potentially me, if I get Covid and then get stuck with the long version of it. This is why I 100% support vaccine mandates and more. That is, I support house arrest and even prosecution if you refuse vaccination. And forced vaccination, too. Round ’em up, lock ’em up, jab ’em up. The time to reverse your de facto brain damage and be smarter than a turnip is now.

Why Do Armed Robot Dogs Make Us Uncomfortable?
Is this some kind of trick question or something?
Self-harm
The natural immunity delusion.
I will never understand why these people are so hostile to the vaccine but will lilterally take anything some crackpot freak tells them to take and are happy to take the experimental, emergency use monoclonal antibody treatment that costs thousands of dollars compared to the $20 vaccine.
I have been thinking about this a lot. I believe this behavior is similar to how religious people will do something to harm themselves to demonstrate their committment. In this case, though, it hurts all the rest of us which is why vaccine mandates should be de rigeur everywhere.
