Probably. The Disciples were super woke, for their day.
Not that the basic ideology is bad. A decent basic moral system arose from the Torah, even if its original adherents have spent millennia trying to weasel around its confines. It's just incorrect, in the way all utopian visions are incorrect. The virtue of conflict should always be part of a complete moral system.
It sounds a little counterintuitive, but yes. So should iPads and washing machines. If they cost more, Americans can make a decent living producing them, and therefore be able to afford increased costs. Parasitic globalism is why we get cheap goods and shit jobs.
It means "stop preventing my subversion". They'd be let in if they wanted something else. When someone complains about gatekeeping, it means, quite simply that they want to change what's gated.
Unfortunately, the gatekeepers were largely convinced to open the gates in the name of "virtue", and everything was changed.
Torn on this. It's dangerous work, and inflation adjusted wages have been stagnant for 30 years. Lumber should cost more, though it's currently a bit of a commodity bubble. Sustained higher prices should put pressure on upward wages.
However, I don't think for a moment the Biden admin is doing this for the lumber industry. If anything, I expect there to be increased regulatory overhead for the industry, which will line the pockets of compliance officers and lawyers, while also levitating housing prices (equity) to help stave off economic collapse.
Tariffs are pretty great, when you don't regulate their benefit into oblivion.
"It's almost when people see Black neighborhoods, they see twice as much crime than there actually is. They see worse education than there actually is," Perry said. "I think this is what's happening when appraisers, lenders, real estate agents see Blackness. They devalue the asset. They devalue the property."
I mean, I don't think they see 12x the crime, which would be twice as much as there actually is relative to white neighborhoods. And twice the funding doesn't even get half the graduation rate in black neighborhoods.
I probably wouldn't find much use in it. Just looking at the casting and an imdb synopsis are generally enough to tell if it's something I'd want to watch. I tend to stick with really awful low budget flicks, or older stuff, though.
I don't need a score to know I'll probably enjoy Psycho Goreman.
Still, I'm sure plenty could find a use for it.
The federal government has become too powerful. Regions with completely different realities on the ground are competing to install nationwide solutions. I don't know how you fix that without decentralizing power, and I don't know how you reduce a central governments power without its collapse. We had a pretty good blueprint, but when the fed began to ignore the 9th and 10th amendments completely, we were set on the path of ungovernability.
While that's true, they wouldn't have had nearly the success without the Vietnam War, where the media effectively turned the people against their government. Anti-establishment ideology had a perfect environment.
