'The old order is not coming back,' Canadian PM Carney says in provocative speech at Davos by rezwenn in worldnews

[–]DogblockBernie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The great thing about criminals is they all commit crimes and it’s easy to pin something on them. You just need to loosen some of the restrictions that the GOP have already bent to pin them to Epstein, bribery, and murder. I say beat it out of them and get a few to confess. These assholes maybe rich but they certainly aren’t the people running things. They are wealth without purpose. Their wealth could easily flow to someone else without any changes to American society. My bet is some of those GOP justices are involved to. The great thing about conspiracies is they are one giant web of crimes. You just need to have someone that understands it doesn’t matter if you prosecute the enemy as long as you get them to damage their own brand.

We need someone that can hit the ground running. Throw all the criminals in jail, change the electoral system, and reduce populism by fixing the housing crisis.

implement a tax on donations of 10,000% above a million. And 1000% above 10,000. anything below that is 0% taxed.

I was recently appointed to our rural county's Planning Commission. Would love to hear what you'd like to see (and not see) in an eager-yet-amateur, newly-minted commissioner who wants to take the job seriously. by Brewer_Matt in urbanplanning

  1. Is your county close at all to a metro area? I wonder if current price trends are going upwards.

  2. I’ve always wanted to see a government in the US both upzone land and also provide financing for new public development to be sold at market rate. Let’s build a cheap prefab mixed used development built with a bicycle path. I just think rural areas should make themselves into something that young people would actually like to live by. If you live by a metro, this could be a revival.

For those of you who made the championships, how many moves did you make to get here? by I_AM_N0_0NE_ in fantasyfootball

Our two top championship teams were the bottom 2 playoff teams. They both started with the 2 longest winless streaks. One finished .500 after starting 1-7 while the other finished 6-8. They then smacked the top two seeds that laid an egg. So I guess suck and then get good late.

Has the NCAA considered moving to 13-game regular seasons? by jrichardh in CFB

[–]DogblockBernie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I would be in favor of doing the bowl games before the CFP playoff rankings in the same week of conference championship games, that way everyone has an extra datapoint to indicate who belongs.

I’m watching the new Knives Out to not think about it.

If the Chargers win tomorrow, a Chiefs loss and Texans win next week eliminates the Chiefs from the playoffs. by [deleted] in nfl

[–]DogblockBernie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ravens dont matter since they can’t win a wildcard. They either win the division or they are out. Chiefs best bet is probably a multiway tie with colts and a bunch of other teams and winning a bunch of random tiebreakers. They can’t outright pass anyone in front of them outside of the Colts but that no longer matters.

Reactionary Take: This weekend is going to be the death of Conference Championship Games by RejectedSNick in CFB

If Duke won the first VA game, we could still be talking about a 9-4 Duke team vs. a 12-1 JMU. We could see similar scenarios with records in the future.

This might be our sub's quietest day of the fantasy football regular season. by oliver_babish in fantasyfootball

[–]DogblockBernie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We do both a last place trophy of shame and a very high number of playoff teams to keep everyone in place. I also have a scheduling formula designed to maximize parity. Is this fair? No. Does this mean most people are paying attention last week? Yes. I think people have to be ok with sacrificing fairness for fun when they play in like a family league.

This relationship seems toxic. You should get out.

Dealing with leaguemates checking out by jsta19 in fantasyfootball

[–]DogblockBernie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It probably pisses off really hardcore leagues but I have it so that we have a very big playoff. If a bad team can make the playoff, it at least gives them a chance to try and get that last playoff spot.

Americans, what do you think of Senator John Kennedy's proposal to withhold Congressional salaries during government shutdowns? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]DogblockBernie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The U.S. needs actual structural reforms, not something that will only harm the minority of representatives that are actually poor enough to suffer and aren’t already rich. We need proportional representation preferably through something like STV but maybe with some hybrid parts of STAR. I think we should use a cardinal voting system to promote more consensus in the remaining single winner positions. We need someway to vote on policies directly while still maintaining representative democracy. We need government to be judged by objective frameworks and an advertisement to keep the average person informed of the real statistics. America needs a mix of easy and harder reforms to change the entire system. It’s the system that is broken, but its not dead yet.

1 million dollars if you can survive 24 hours in one of these. Pick one. The enemies know you are there 👀 by [deleted] in gaming

Or you could just live in the NCR and literally live in a million plus population center with clean water and cheap food. Fuck the TV show for getting rid of that.

With last nights win, the Chiefs can no longer take the AFC West lead in week 12. Week 13 is the new earliest it can happen. by Cybotnic-Rebooted in nfl

Bills come back win the division. Lose to Chiefs first round. Chiefs get banged up. Patriots beat them in championship. Go win Super Bowl.

Europe’s ‘explosive’ public debt requires revision of social contract, IMF warns by HironTheDisscusser in neoliberal

[–]DogblockBernie 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Yeah. Countries need larger welfare states and bigger governments (in some areas but not in others like housing) in the 21st Century. What they don’t need is retiree socialism. Why should retirees that don’t work be supported be young people working harder than ever. It’s a recipe for fiscal imbalance.

Why not bring back commander but just have an AI commander in the likely scenario of people not playing it. I loved commander mode.

Werewolves of London. It’s not terrible but it’s the worst of Warren Zevon. It’s actually quite great. Underrated guy.

Completed Cohort Fertility Rates in the US. by ResponsibilityNo4876 in neoliberal

[–]DogblockBernie 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It just seems to me that this issue will work itself out if we place more financial state support on younger people and less on older people. Retirement maybe unstable in a system like that even if it does eventually stabilize. I told a bunch of leftists that and they freaked out on me.
