JaimeThompson··on Twitter’s mass layoffs have begun
SpaceX and Tesla would have crashed and burned had it not been for government, of all levels, subsidizing them. Something that, now that he has benefited from it, Musk is against others having.

NASA, ESA, and all the other space agencies might disagree with you here.

>hordes of Californian nutjobs (Diane Feinstein et. al.)

Lots of people from other states, including Texas, in that list too. It wasn't just a California / Left issue.

>it is very simple to accomplish.

Given you don't have details on the quality of the item you are buying how do you accomplish that?

>There's nothing wrong with income inequality. People are just envious.

It isn't envy some feel when they can't afford medical care for themselves and those they care about. This applies to a lot of things in additional to medical care.

If they ultra wealthy lived under the same system as everyone else then perhaps, but they don't. They have oversized influence of most every aspect of our lives which isn't conducive for a stable democracy.

JaimeThompson··on Prior Omicron infection protects against BA.4 and BA.5 variants
>SADS was not a thing until the medical cartel started disseminating this lie through their co-opted legacy media channels.

[1] "Seeing “the better way” to disseminate and educate, the Sudden Arrhythmia Death Syndromes (SADS) Foundation, a nonprofit 501(c)(3) charitable organization, was established on December 12, 1991 by Dr. Vincent and several dedicated colleagues and LQTS family members, for the purpose of helping to prevent sudden and unexpected cardiac death in children and in young adults."

This isn't a binary fail / no fail condition.

JaimeThompson··on Arizona Mom Fights Abusive Prosecution by Department of Child Safety
>incrrasing neuroticism and mental health issues

I would argue that previous generations had such issues as well but they just didn't get talked about as much. It would help explain some of the damn the long term all that matters is the next year / six months type of thinking.

JaimeThompson··on Elon’s Out
Smoking weed makes you lose your security clearance, Musk did it on camera and still has his because of "reasons". That is one example of the rules that apply to most others not applying to him.

How are you defining "Woke Progressives"?
JaimeThompson··on Former Apple exec who enforced insider trading rules admits to insider trading
The courts of today don't follow libertarian principles which changes the outcome of my little what if.

A decent amount of libertarian ideas run into issues like this where the assumption is that current non-libertarian systems will keep them in check but this sort of mixed system isn't what a large segment of libertarians appear to want.

JaimeThompson··on Former Apple exec who enforced insider trading rules admits to insider trading
>how the philosophy that at least tries to remain consistent with the ideal of not aggressing on the life, liberty, or property of others receives some of the most derisive comments.

If you combine the libertarian idea that a property owner can fully control what happens to their property along with the idea that the right to contract is absolute what happens when the entity that owns the road in front of my home says I can no longer use it unless I shop only at his stores?

A lot of libertarian ideas simply do not work when combined together due to human nature to enrich themselves at the expense of others.

JaimeThompson··on Abolish Zoning
He didn't say zoning, he said homes so I was asking them why a single family home was elitist.
JaimeThompson··on Abolish Zoning
>Suburban single-family homes are specifically an elitist policy.

How so?

JaimeThompson··on Texas repeatedly raises pollution limits for Cheniere LNG plant
> if we can't bear trivial negative consequences

The people being exposed to all this aren't being compensated in any way, any medical problems or other issues they have to fully pay for themselves.

Might be different if they got taken care of.
