Biden ran on a platform of working with the fascists I don’t know why you’re surprised he’s good with them in power.

You’d try your damnedest to save me how lol, asking politely?

You will die on it. And I’m not risking my life to save you.

Genuinely curious how you’re surprised by this

Look to improve at whatever you compete in. Then losing is an opportunity, not a failure.

It’s the thing I use to hammer home the idea that our lives are dramatically worse than our parents. I could not dream of paying that mortgage but my mom could pay it as a single mother of two because they bought it in the 80s for 300k and engineer salaries allowed them to pay it.

The house I grew up in is now worth 1.4 million dollars.

It’s clearly not all boomers we get it.

Castro was a lawyer as was Lenin. Che was a medical doctor.

I feel like people saying they don’t like in-n-out are just being contrarian for no reason. The fries are fresh cut, the burgers are fresh cooked and if you’re going to insist that they’re comparable to McDonalds, the food is 1/3 the price (and the toppings are undeniably more fresh).

I’ve had whataburger and I spent 18$ on what I considered to be at best standard fast food. I can get a 4x4 at in-n-out, leave absolutely stuffed for like 8$.

Yeah, given the tech today this needs to be revisited at the very least

Cool you barely use twitter and didn’t notice any of the declines detailed above but “no, not really” thanks for the high quality discussion

I do not. Rand explicitly does.

I’m going to respond so hopefully you grow.

Productivity is difficult to measure or define. Intelligence is similar. Regardless, neither of these things define value in a human life. Some people love to cook, some are great at reading comic books. One might be really good at watching TV. In the end, your preference for what is seen as valuable comes to your preference. There’s nothing objective about it. More concretely, in many engineering jobs great engineers are promoted into management positions for which they are ill suited. They make more money, are they not definitionally more productive? Yet the company and team is worse off.

As for your question, Rand is not subtle about her thoughts.

The premise that some people are just better than everyone else is not intelligent. Valuing a person’s worth as a human by measuring their productivity is genocidal.
