With the tats?

Who are you?

That's actually a good point.

Boebert is hotter.

 

[Cowboysrock55]

This is actually pulling Boebert even for me.

Can you really be upset with either pick?

 

[Irving Cowboy]

I agreed with Smitty (gasp) until I saw the tats. Luna with the edge on this one.

I guess not, but the tats really do ruin it for me.

I had no idea she had a tat like that. Happy to have discovered it.

It's like a road map to a treasure island.

Reich is one of the stupidest MFers ever.

How about taking 100% from them? Wouldn't that be a great idea?

Stumbled on this old PBS show from 1980, Free to Choose, by Milton Friedman. They showed the documentary, then followed it up with a debate between Friedman and a young Thomas Sowell vs a few people on the left.

He and Sowell are pointing out the obvious factors of perpetual welfare rotting people's souls, the inefficiency of these government programs, and the waste of taxpayer dollars inherent to the whole thing.

So striking the differences from today. One, you wouldn't even be allowed to have this opinion on msm today - it would be racist, white supremacist, etc. Two, the intellectual nature of the post-show debate. It's the actual exchange of ideas between intelligent people , not just shouting and idiocracy. And three, that this was on PBS. It's incomprehensible that PBS would carry anything like this today, being now a propaganda arm of the government.

Friedman wrote a book called "The Next Hundred Years" that is a really good read.

Probably our last sensible Fed chairman.

Maybe ever.
