Comment Re: Solution: Build housing in SF (Score 3, Insightful) 218

I said this for 25 years and then crime and politics sent me packing.

10 years in the burbs, I would never ever move back into a big city.

And it has nothing to do with me being old. Even young adults out here are cooler and more refined and less chaotic.

You can keep your urban planned ghettos.

Your bodyâ(TM)s hormones wonâ(TM)t allow you to have a net energy deficit daily if it can avoid it.

Iâ(TM)ve âoeprovenâ this casually for 30 days trying to reach nerds not to be obese and have worked with hundreds of folks if not thousands.

And free to manufacturer and own nuclear weapons. It's none of your business what I do a long as it doesn't affect you.

So long as you demonstrate that you can keep them safe and secure, I'm less worried about you having a nuke than the US government having one. The US, after all, has actually flash-fried children with the things before.

As for mandatory vaccination, the SCOTUS found in Buck v. Bell -- and has never overturned -- that the same principle that justified mandatory vax also justifies forced eugenic sterilization. It's not just a theoretic "slippery slope", we already slid down it.

This is mindless.

Companies have to raise prices during fearful times in order to profit now so they can cover the potential losses later.

I jacked my prices up BIG TIME in early COVID because I didn't know if I would be out of work in 2 years. I made a fortune in 2020 and half a fortune in 2021 as things equalized and nothing really bad happened.

I deserved that profit for taking a risk, tho. If things would have gotten shut down for me, I would have had enough cash to weather 2-3 years of outage and rebuild my businesses.

To wit, fuck you for your collectivism.

I am no conservative nor MAGA fan but I do believe Facebook etc acted as State actors during Covid and should be regulated as a State entity.

I have only registered and voted Democrat in my entire life and I am serious about putting some of these social network barons up in front of the Nuremberg courts version 2.
