“Left-wing collectivism is not, in the end, about making society better off; it is about transferring power from the people outside of government to those inside of government.”Updated Dec 18, 2019, 3:17 PM

As usual, Steve is correct. General strategy at the time was ‘homeowners vote conservative, so lets make more conservatives’. Sigh.

The Housing Bubble was set off by the Bush Administration’s 2002-2004 “Increasing Minority Homeownership” campaign to add 5.5 million nonwhite homeowners by 2010. The financial industry, like all True Americans, believed Diversity Is Our Strength: So what could possibly go wrong? https://t.co/tHDZgaCsC5

MY PAPER ON IMPEACHMENT, 1979?
Late seventies. University. Course on The American Presidency. Paper Required. Half the Grade. Twenty something people start the class. Seven of us finish. I do my paper on Impeachment. Prof doesn’t tell me it was the subject of his thesis. (ouch). I think I got a C? and I probably deserved it, since I read the books AND wrote it over spring break in about a week or so. That said, General position I came to (and he came to), is i) that no president would ever be impeached (removed from office). ii) that it is too politicized a process and a purely political process iii) because ‘high crimes’ isn’t sufficiently defined, and iv) it’s really hard to even try to commit a high crime in office. v) the worst that can happen is ‘bad judgement’ which isn’t a crime. vi) and anyone who did anything would leave office.
Nixon was questionable. Clinton’s was ridiculous. Trumps is even more ridiculous.

I run tests. It’s a king of the hill game. It works. It works flawlessly. Why? Because demonstrated interest always and everywhere defeats reported interest. So, position any statement or question such that it imposes a cost on a psychological investment. We can’t help ourselves.

Fake news. They are not republicans. They are not conservatives. They are left of centers.

The new organization, known as the Lincoln Project, represents a formal step forward for the so-called Never Trump movement: “You’re seeing a shift from talk into action.” https://t.co/MLLJGVfWz7

6) rule of law and the institution of property = commons, and the function of the state (military, judiciary) is to defend commons, and the function of the government(however it’s done) is to produce and maintain commons. And the purpose of markets is production of consumption.

Libertarianism=private property marxism. Communism=common property marxism.

(Thank you for staying on this message. Who gets the privilege of writing the textbook chapters on this ridiculous experiment? “Oh, the state can’t do anything about it….”. “Yes it’s money”. OMFG)

The good news is that all the Millennial Bitcoin hodlers who are about to get wiped out in #Bitcoin are still young enough to make their money back. They will also have a lifetime to benefit from the wisdom that comes from losing money and leaning from your mistakes.

We could take the country entirely autarkic, pay a two to three year cost for it, and emerge with a century-long benefit from it.And that is the problem with democracy and monetary inflation that causes short term investment in what is largely rents rather than long term returns.

And forcing europe to pay their way. We financed the defeat by petrodollars, and our military is free because of it. But the euro allowed europeans to escape our indirect taxation of them for the military. Iran wants power to make a bourse, china to make reserve currency.

I don’t make errors. Ever. It’s my job to compensate for the rest of you. Trump is reorganizing world strategy, military, and trade, to reflect the end of USA’s ability to finance postwar recovery and war against communism (now islamic fundamentalism as communism v2). …
