Just want to add, if Chase seems reasonable to you and you don't have another preferred candidate, please actually support him. The Ron Paul paleoconservative wing of the Libertarian Party is criticizing him pretty hard. If he doesn't end up with support and votes, it will be harder to get a nominee that appeals to the left in the future.
I like Chase. I think he's a great speaker, and he's good at making great little one liners. I like most of his policies. I'm not fully on board with the Gaza is a genocide or puberty blockers are reversible stances, but his intentions are good even with those issues.
That is a completely legitimate concern. It's important to note that even if prisons are publicly run, there's still a bunch of private actors in the prison system in the form of the people who work in it. Prison worker unions and police unions lobby for more laws already to protect their jobs. Private prisons might make that aspect worse, but it's not like it's perfect now.
I'm obviously not advocating or defending any particular behavior.
Legally speaking, why is what age they are today relevant rather than the age they are depicted as in the picture? Like, imagine we have a picture 20 years from now of someone at age 37. It's legally fine until it's revealed it was generated in 2023 when the person in question was 17? If the exact same picture was generated a year later it's fine again?
If you make a picture today of someone based on how they looked 10 years ago, we say it's depicting that person as the age they were 10 years ago. How is what age they are today relevant?

Neither is obviously more efficient than the other overall, it depends on the structure and the incentives. People worry about private prisons for example. If you make it so the government sends people to prisons and you pay the prison a fixed rate per prisoner, of course you're gonna get skimping on services by the prisons. If you instead give the prisoner a voucher for a prison and make them pick where they go and prisons get money per voucher they get from prisoners, you're gonna get competition on quality so you'll get high quality prisons. Opposite outcomes with just a change to incentives.
In this case it's the definition of efficiency. Efficiency = (resources used up) compared to (resources taken in). How else would you even calculate it?
Nothing I said suggested beating or anything physical at all.
No one mentioned hitting or physical discipline of any kind.
They should make batteries that swap out completely so you can load a fully charged one in in a few seconds and let your old one charge while you're off driving somewhere else. Or you just exchange the battery permanently like with some propane tanks.
I don't believe that, but it's certainly true that some people compare real world capitalism and hypothetical utopian communism, etc., which is obviously not a serious comparison.
I can probably come up with issues Democrats are further to the left than most other countries on. Abortion, for example.
I'd prefer that the people who did the beating not be allowed to be in office anymore. There's a lot of people on that list.
When Trump dumped a bunch of money on the economy in 2020, he did contribute to a bunch of inflation, yes.
This is why individual insurance is better. You can switch to a better provider without convincing a large bureaucracy first.
It varies by region or state. Some places you can discipline pretty easily, others your ex will use your any discipline at all as a reason to take your kids away.
People just want fewer kids now, or they want them later. It's not the money, it's that kids are a drag.
Omg, the Evermore one was so bad because it was so good but actually 4 hours long. I lost one whole day of free time to that video. Lol
