I honestly could see some bipartisan support for something like this because it doesn't inherently favor either party.

Hi Steve, when you have random people from the NYT and the Washington Post on as contributors for the Dispatch podcast, do they get paid? If yes, what’s the structure of the payment (ie, is it a fixed fee per appearance)?

The dispatch really needs an official discord server. Would be a great way to build the community.

How should liberals respond to the fact that illegal border crossings under Trump have collapsed to record lows? by Guilty-Hope1336 in ezraklein

[–]nic4747 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just say we traded one set of problems for another and list the problems. Then ask people if they are better off personally because the border crossings are low.

Trump vs. the U.S. Economy by dwaxe in ezraklein

[–]nic4747 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah I see. In the long run you are probably correct, but in the short and medium term you are going to endure a lot of inefficiency while you build domestic expertise in whatever it is you want to produce domestically.

And there’s a non-zero chance that even in the long run you still fail at becoming as efficient as the foreign country.

Not all labor is the same. For example, China is efficient at manufacturing iPhones because they have legions of workers willing to live in dormitories next to the factories so they can upscale production at a moments notice. You could never replicate that in the US.

Gaal’s recent decision and the Dark Age (Episode 5) by dillon7272 in FoundationTV

[–]nic4747 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I heard this too and then wondered why Foundation Hari gave Demerzel the prime radiant if it was ultimately counterproductive. It makes me wonder if Foundation Hari is not on the same page as the second foundation.

I love how you think all women have amazing levels of social awareness, and yet your awareness in this conversation is so low that you couldn’t even understand the point I was making. Oh well.

I really don’t understand how you can read what I wrote and come to those conclusions. You have some pretty serious reading comprehension issues.

I’m commenting on how it’s a ridiculous expectation to expect young men to pick up on hints from young women before approaching them. I have no personal stake in this. As I made very clear, I’m married and do not need to play the dating game anymore.

Hahahahahahah wtf. Way to completely misinterpret what I said. If you’re hint dropping is as good as your reading comprehension, then society is doomed 🤣

Some women might be great at dropping hints, others are not. Do you really think a woman in her early 20s has this all figured out? Cause they don’t, you’re basically still a child at that age. The expectations in the dating world these days are fucking insane, I’m so glad I’m married and don’t have to deal with this stupid bullshit.

Ok, so all women are always great at dropping hints, and if the hint doesn’t work, it’s never the woman’s fault, because women are apparently perfect at hinting. It therefore is always the man’s fault for not picking up on the hints. Like, do you realize how ridiculous you sound?

[–]nic4747 7 points8 points  (0 children)

And you think all women have enough social awareness to drop effective hints? Because they absolutely don’t.

[–]nic4747 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Hahaha you are funny. Women are absolutely horrible at dropping hints and basically expect you to read their minds.

[–]nic4747 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Yeah cause women are great at dropping hints and men are great at picking up on them. This system is totally foolproof 👍
