This my last post about this but dawg 😂

If you avoid speaking up about men invading women’s sports out of fear of your community outcasting you…perhaps it’s time you find a better community.

Here's the finished scarf split roughly into quarters. Two rows equals a day. The year starts on the lower right-hand side of the picture with a small brown stripe representing a family road trip. The scarf ends on the bottom left with a green and red stripe near the end representing Christmas.

This scarf documents holidays, birthdays, trips, awards, unemployment and even death. What a year! We plan to tag each of the stripes so we don't forget what each one represents.

One huge problem with the concept of private ownership of things that are not the "means of production" in the socialist/communist mindset is that you could theoretically use lots of things as means of production.

If you own a toothbrush that's ok, but what if that toothbrush can be used as a tool for building something else? Brushes are often used as tools, and the materials making up a toothbrush certainly could be melted down and turned into something else entirely, would that new thing made of your acceptable toothbrush now be evil contraband to be taken by the state or the people?

Same with shoes. Shoes could just be a thing for your feet, but depending on how they're used, they could themselves be a tool, or the leather and rubber used to create a tool, and then does the previously admissible shoe become an evil tool of the capitalist?

In the end, the real means of production is a skilled worker. For them, a shocking number of things can become the means of production, just watch Primitive Technology on YouTube. A bog is just a useless piece of land to most people, but to the skilled Norwegians 600 years ago, it was an important resource and source of iron. Why? Because they knew how to take the useless thing nobody wanted and turn it into the most important resource of the era. Therefore, for the state to seize the means of production means to seize the individual, and that's exactly what we see in practice. A bunch of tools and machines are useless without the minds and hands operating them, and so those minds and hands must be seized and dominated into submission.

Fire 75% of federal bureaucrats immediately. Shut down agencies. Rescind all regulations that fail West Virginia vs. EPA (ie, most federal regulations). Zero-based budgeting.

Get sued for it. Take it to the Supreme Court & win 6-3.

That’s how you permanently drain the swamp.

Intruder comes into her home, she shoots the intruder, she’s not charged with the death, but public housing evicted her because of their unconstitutional, anti gun “rules.”

It's been 1081 days since the murder of Ashli Babbit and Michael Byrd is still walking around free.

p.s. As an experiment this year, to help people who are on servers that haven't federated much yet, have also just started a JoinIn group at:

➡️ @joinin

This is separate from the hashtag, you can follow both or either.

Groups work a bit differently to hashtags. You have to follow groups to see their posts, but they federate to 100% of their followers. This means even people on a server with no connections at all will still see all of the posts from all the groups they follow.

There’s nothing conservative about a debt deal that grants unlimited borrowing for two years that experts estimate will likely exceed $4 trillion.

I will insist on an amendment vote to enact REAL spending caps that lead to a balanced budget in 5 years!

Whoever is posting on Biden’s account is legit insane.

I tend to agree. That's why it's "if it shows up in these markets". There's lots of cheap vehicles that you can't buy at any price because they're only being sold in other markets like south asia or africa.

But it sure would be nice. I think a lot of people want to see more basic affordable choices.

Toyota is talking about putting out a $10,000 pickup truck called the IMV0. It's just a basic work truck, no fancy stuff.

If this thing makes it to American markets at anything remotely like that price, that could be the end of the big 3. This is what we need, not a new 100,000 fancy pants car.
