One time George Carlin said this in one of his last interviews:

"There is a certain amount of righteous indignation I hold for this culture, because to get back to the real root of it, to get broader about it, my opinion that is my species--and my culture in America specifically--have let me down and betrayed me. I think this species had great, great promise, with this great upper brain that we have, and I think we squandered it on God and Mammon.

 

He may have been on to something.....

He wasn't, other than being one of the funniest people to have lived.

 

Humanity has gotten consistently better for the overwhelming majority of our existence. There have been notable retreats (fall of the Roman empire), but in the modern world (last 500 years or so) you would have always wanted to live in the time you existed over living 50 or 100 years earlier. 

 

We focus on the negative because it is an asset to survival, especially in the harsher world of the past. But the "humans suck" arguments have always been at odds with the reality that if humans (and religious humans who constitute the vast majority of humans who have lived) really sucked, the world would not keep getting better.

Now you responsible individuals can subsidize the unresponsible - Coming to you May 1st. 
How the US is subsidizing high-risk homebuyers -- at the cost of those with good credit (nypost.com)

I was looking at my rental property insurance recently, and pretty sure there’s already a similar charge in their to subsidize others’ insurance in that particular state.

Was talking about this in another thread but generally consumer based pricing is becoming more common and will likely overtake static pricing over the next 5-10 years. In other words, if you make more money, you will likely pay more for an identical product to someone pays less money as algorithms get better about predicting consumer behavior and profile. This might sound like something you never do but we already it with airline tickets, insurance and education. You will pay more for an airline ticket if you logon to book with a Macbook then you would if you logon with a Dell or Acer.

I'm only familiar with what Orbitz did, which was *showing* more expensive things to Mac users, not charging more for the same thing.

That's a significant difference.

I’ve used a VPN in the past for one Caribbean resort chain, they would offer lower prices if you change your location to outside the US.

Unfamiliar. What’s that?

In the top right of your browser, just hit incognito mode. It prevents your computer from story cookies and other files that mine data off your browser and send it back to the merchant site. 

More importantly, also prevents your wife from finding out you were surfing porn because you forgot to clear your history.

The non radical democrats vote against women’s sports.

The left can’t even define what a woman is, so how can they be expected to vote in favor of protecting women’s sports.  What the House should really do is put a bill ending Title IX and see how the left votes…they won’t know what to do at that point.

Guys I figured it out, if every dude on earth identifies as a woman maybe we can get the left to quit bitching about the gender pay gap

 

but seriously the lefts gender philosophy is so full of contradictions and I feel like the right does a very poor job pointing them out. 
 

If women are a victim class that need protecting, it must have some definition.. except the left balks when you ask for one. 
 

If gender is a social construct and completely fluid, why do people need to get surgeries to align with something (apparently) totally made up.

Scientific American (allegedly a science focused magazine) goes full retard with some moronic professor at Princeton claiming to disprove the human gender binary. Even advanced degrees can’t save someone from being a complete dumbass. Basically lots of word salad nonsense that ends with … humans have dif. interests and personalities. No shit Sherlock, now outline details on the third sex you discovered!

It's wild that, in trying to embrace gender diversity, the left is actually pushing all the gender stereotypes that past generations of feminists tried to get rid of.

The progressive arm of the Dem party are the most regressive group in our history. I can’t think of another time we actually went drastically backwards in American society. By the way, dems are calling for segregated classrooms, etc. in 2023…they’ve literally regressed past 60 years of societal advancement.
