People like trump make America worse. That’s more important to me than tax breaks. I brag about how much I make AFOAF is absolutely correct. But you never hear me ranting about taxation is theft or railing against the social safety nets and so on. I’m a libertarian in the sense that I don’t think drugs should be Illegal. I do believe in the social contract and the common Good. And I do believe a society is judged by how it treats its weakest members.You should be voting for people like Trump who will work hard to lower taxes for people in your bracket, if money is your primary concern.

That's a bad comparison, since saving the 80 year old doesn't mean the kids are gonna die.
Why do I have to be any one thing? i love and hate everything
edit: my father was an anarchist/libertarian, and my mother is a Quaker lefty activist and has been her whole life. And they were both passionate, informed, and eloquent about their beliefs as I grew up. so that’s where I come from.

You were the one claiming to be a Libertarian, although you say "in the sense that..." which doesn't sound very committed now that I look at it more closely.
I know of several people well into their 70s and 80s, who are currently sailing around the world singlehanded.
You're fucking gross.
live as vegetables?
im watching tons of kids headed home from school right now
looking like normal kids
Not vegetables
of course there may be some who this effected more than others
but for those, if it wasnt this that got to them, it mightve been something else
most kids are emotionally recovered
this concept is soooo intriguing to me and also soooo fkn scary
like, open ocean sh!t is just eeeeechhhhk .... it freaks me way the fk out
Some people respect and revere their elders
others think they’re disposable
honestly, it’s sad
Crossing an ocean single handed is nuts but going around the world NON-STOP singlehanded is lunacy.
8 months at sea, catnapping and eating dried food.
Golden Globe Race is currently in progress.
Gnarly.
Solo to Hawaii on a budget
That's what you're taking away from this? That's as bad as Fecal
We knew who was at risk, therefore, those people needed to protect themselves. We didn't need to treat the rest of society and the economy as disposable
Also, it's more important always to protect children over the elderly. One is the future, one is the past. Those who are the adults, the present, are the ones who are disposable
They're the healthy ones who aren't at risk
And in the sun, so they're getting the best resistance against the cold possible
But you getting offended by this is exactly why empathy is dangerous. You can't use any logic or ethics to think on these situations. It's all about feelings.
You'll gladly sacrifice the many to save the few
sacrifice?
it’s ok if kids sacrifice some for the benefit of others, isn’t it?
this “Kids lives were destroyed “ thing isn’t going to help the kids move on and be normal
the energy spent Screeching about punishment might be better spent supporting those whose lives you think were destoyed
while fostering the ideas that we learn from the past, without dwelling on missteps
Yes, we learn from the past, and ensure it never happens again.
Punishment isn't physical, or even imprisonment. It's as easy as voting out any elected official who supported this, it's wiping out school boards in this election and replacing them with people who were against the lockdowns. This can happen locally where your vote actually counts
And an attitude where you think holding people responsible and giving them consequences is "dwelling on missteps" is not giving support to those who were injured by those missteps
Why does anybody have to be disposable?
Would you make yourself and your family disposable?
False dillema. Also, gross.
Narcissism is way more dangerous than empathy.
well, voting makes sense
but “never forget” implies more than that
and I did think you were calling for imprisonment or something
maybe it was prcd calling for beheading or stoning or some other biblical revenge, but I thought it was you
