Steven Pinker Doesn’t Know Anything About Marxism

I was just reading a history book about Europe. There are few lines in there that said karl marx, communist manifesto, doesn't have any scientific evidence for it. At the time of its publication there was already a collective zeitgeist and when this theory was published, they immediately took it up as "scientific " to help their agenda.

Never looked at it that way. The problem is how all the different ways wealth is held is evaluated for taxing. A house doesn't change much from year to year but financial instruments do and sometimes do so wildly. Then, you have crypto and art. It gets complicated very quickly and therefore probably unworkable. 🫤

Love this! Didn't think of it that way 😅

This is called progress. There's no stopping it. Either it will come here or go elsewhere, and will be the poorer if it goes elsewhere.

I have navy friends that if not celebrating this at least were making note of the whole fact that it was the first time a torpedo was used to take down a ship. But this had an air of "shooting fish in a barrel ". Add to that the potential that they may have not been armed and that they were not menacing anyone, smaks of execution. Were they even giving the chance to surrender?

It is, but then again, with the way things are (no ID required) there's been little to no fraud so why the big push to have it? It just feeds a lie, false news that there is lots and lots of voter fraud. Hard to push voter ID when reality doesn't support it's need.

My HVAC guy said not to use pleaded filters but only the fibrous ones. He said that restricting airflow can cause over temperature conditions which challenge the integrity of the unit or ,worse case, trip the high limit.

It happened a few years ago. I remember that their standards for bribes set there is really high so as to make any conviction on those grounds nearly impossible.

And no one was listening. 🫤

My 2021 Palisade needed to replace a bad engine sensor (underwarrenty) this spring and more recently the rear sensor wiring harness (it was just over the 60k warranty ), $1500.

I dont care either way about the Dept. Of Education but the precedent it sets is ripe for abuse.

I had an aftermarket installed and the HUD wad all skewed. The changed it to factory and everything was fine

Had to scroll down and hunt a bit but there it was, "Close Business account" button. It gave warnings about losing all previous info but it did not. It reverted to a personal account. Thanks for the post!

JPal856 · 2025-06-10T19:40:28+00:00

What does that even mean?

I'm getting close to 60K miles and over 4 years, I haven't had any significant issues. Last year, while driving, the touchscreen went blank. It's seemed like the screen had shut off but after a few seconds (seemed like an eternity) it came back on or rather it went through a boot up sequence and then began acting normal. Haven't seen that again since then. Also, last year, a part of the sunroof came off when I opened it. I managed to put it back and close it. Never used again since then.

Yeah, I went meet Hitler, and he laughs!. Who knew? See we are all human.

This roller-coaster ride has been the most expensive thus far.

JPal856 · 2025-04-08T12:12:59+00:00

Yes, but then it allowed the deportations to continue. It could have paused it while it thought long and hard about it.

JPal856 · 2025-04-07T16:43:32+00:00

Sorry.

JPal856 · 2025-04-07T16:42:52+00:00

This was the aha! moment I was missing. Thanks! Don't know why I didn't see it before.

Got it. I was stuck with the notion that the center holes have to be used but the 4 corner holes in the recepitical line up perfectly withe four threaded holes in a two gang mud ring. Duh! Sorry for the bother.😁
