Because when considering the problems in Minnesota, I think "the real problem here is that the people in this state order too much wine"

😳

People will clamor for new laws allowing more oversight but what we need is just fewer subsidies

Yes! I got it this year and have now played it a few times with young family members Good memory and strategy game, and great for understanding various aspects of bitcoin.

Random thoughts: Another vote for compost toilets. Not having to locate/plan septic gives a lot of freedom. We've used only compost toilets for several years now and I wouldn't go back. There's something particularly beautiful about houses clustered relatively close but then open land radiating out from that cluster. I think that there are probably a lot of examples of this throughout history. Makes social connections and defense easier. Unless you have a culturally homogenous group, it can be very difficult to agree on aesthetics and building plans! I would spend a lot of time looking at how human groups have created their spaces historically. A Pattern Language is a terrific book. Well worth a read as you continue your planning. Love this energy 💕

A while ago I heard someone say that we created muffins so that we wouldn't have to admit to eating cake for breakfast 😂

ummm and grieving aside, this is kind of bizarre, isn't it? I don't know much about TPUSA but is this on brand? (Or are they thinking that they can finally get the kids to swallow Zionism if it comes with a dose of Nicki Minaj?)

Nice! enjoy 😊

we can't trust private companies with our money but surely we can trust a handful of power-hungry unelected bureaucrats 🤦‍♀️

it's never made any sense to me that we can't just trust our thirst. I guess that instinct can be corrupted (as hunger often is by bad food) but the idea that humans absolutely must drink a set amount of water today seems like bs to me. I probably drink 3 or 4 glasses/day for most of the year. That includes morning tea. Way more in the summer and I'm outside a lot. Also I find I'm much thirstier when I'm eating carbs than not 🤷‍♀️

Yes, sounds about right. Not what you asked, but FWIW I think you're off base on your Candace Owens takes, and it's coloring your interpretation of recent Fuentes comments. But it's been cool to see the direction of your show in general, and I love your growing appreciation for libertarianism and the Austrian economists!

well, we would have failed

Former progressive here, and it's nice to see this, Trey! Hippie-style liberals used to be champions of decentralization. Have you seen the Schumacher library? I was cleaning up emails for my parents and found a site that surprised me. I can't find it exactly now but this gives you an idea https://centerforneweconomics.org/?s=decentralization

yes, incentive structure is decided by the receiving entity, or at least some of the players within in not sure what you mean by "excluding illegals of course"

reasons might be the same but the incentive structure is very different

oh, I'm sorry to see you go! I love seeing your posts. But living fully offline sounds good, and it's a wonderful way to start a family. 💕
