Lockheed employees are not poor in retirement either.

You’re not being shallow enough.

Dogs are a much better equivalent; small breeds in particular are just like slightly less verbal toddlers.
Guess what the dog mom stereotype is about…

Taylor swift started out with(and still makes money off of) a ‘girl next door’ vibe which is close enough.

I’ve always thought every government worker with a security clearance should be allowed to insider trade as a way to make up for their lower salaries than in the private sector.

Managing female sexuality is a sleazeball man’s game, and female pop stars are selling female sexuality- not as a product, as a fantasy.

Uh, do these women bragging about how much they read come out and say ‘yeah, it’s all porn’? I’m pretty sure they don’t and pointing it out is impolite due to the subject of conversation.
I’m also not aware of pornstars getting much adulation(as opposed to stuff- they probably do generally out earn their well behaved peers, at least when you correct for class).

The US is also one of a small number of countries which still execute people, although not many
Kinda irrelevant to your point, but most executions in the USA happen at the state level, and almost all of those are in southern red states. Federal executions are fairly rare, although Trump has often attempted to clear through the backlog, which makes it look more common.
Executions in the US are spread very unevenly, because it’s a culture wars issue(I suspect more to do with being the only western democracy that uses the death penalty rather than anything in particular about the punishment).

There’s takes of different views of academia, but this is really just an iron law story. The interests of the bureaucracy, determined by proper form, come first, and Gino was advancing the interests of the bureaucracy.

I said 'elected to a major office' not 'appointed to every major office'.

I think you're leaving out that his oldest is four. Interacting with a four year old is drastically different from interacting with a ten year old.

Why would you expect it to be cheaper- I'd expect them to charge the government the highest rate it's willing to pay.

I'm guessing the government only pays $5k/mo for special needs kids, even if they're not actually special needs.

If current trends continue, eventually a Mexican-American will get elected to major office while openly using the N-word and blaming the Jews for everything.

Well yes, it’s entirely reasonable to prefer not to personally play with your kids for hours a day(child’s play is mind-numbingly dull) but for most families adults have to do this anyways, unless they have enough kids it doesn’t matter. Complaining too loudly is at least bad form.

Depends on the age of the child and the market in question. For late preschoolers in red states(where there are few government subsidies to distort the market) thats very high; for younger kids- especially babies- it might be average, especially in a blue state where the government subsidizes demand.

Considering the history of mistreatment at the hands of danish authorities, they may not care very much.

They don’t want to be part of Denmark now, they might want independence instead of being the 51st state but they wouldn’t want to be a danish territory instead.

I agree with your general point, but his kids are too young to play outside unsupervised(they’ll run into the street).

X to doubt. Walz isn’t the sharpest tool in the shed, but he knows Somali fraud is an albatross around his neck and failed campaigns for higher office don’t normally make untouchable running mates. Paul Ryan and Tim Kaine remained politically important, after all.

I like playing with kids, always have, and I totally get it. No, he's not a bad dad- but maybe saying the quiet part out loud(kids games are usually rather dumb, even if you like being a human jungle gym. Few adults particularly like hide and go seek) is a bad idea. And I think he might want to give it a few more years, see if he likes kicking around a soccer ball with a seven year old a bit more than whatever make believe a four year old comes up with.

A nut job on the motte, given the population prevalence of nut jobs, is not so difficult to imagine. And this guy calls himself crazy rather openly.

How much of the increase in obesity is just population aging? It's not 100%, but it seems absurd to argue that it's not a major factor either.

The fundamentals are actually against agricultural land becoming more valuable over time, populations are declining while productivity per acre continually improves.
I mean, running from the cops shouldn't be a death sentence, but trying to run them over should be. Not hard to make the distinction.
