@swilliamsjourno @DashDobrofsky I don't know that either party is proposing anything that will solve the issue, but regardless, it is a political issue, and both parties are quite properly politicizing it, which doesn't tell us that they're equally good or bad, or which one is better, just that it is political. — PolitiTweet.org

Fewer people would be stopped from entering by the initiation of force by the state, thereby increasing both the liberty they are able to exercise and your liberty, e.g. your ability to befriend, contract with, date, or otherwise interact with them. — PolitiTweet.org

The presidency already has a minimum age requirement, 35. This would be an opportune moment to impose an upper age requirement by Constitutional amendment. If you're 75 or over, you can't run. Sorry, Biden and Trump 2024. — PolitiTweet.org

@chrisswartout Like, it's very interesting that I objected to sadistic bullies and your mind went to civility, as if that was the real subject. — PolitiTweet.org

@chrisswartout Refraining from inflicting sadistic cruelty on others is one of those *more important than civility* virtues. — PolitiTweet.org

@chrisswartout You can't invoke a terrible tragedy as proof of the stakes of what people said about the tragedy after it happened. The words won't change the tragedy. In that sense the stakes are quite low. — PolitiTweet.org

Question about real estate markets. What explains sustained periods where houses go for above asking price with buyers outbidding one another, as opposed to the alternative scenario where prices just rise with buyers occasionally taking a best offer below asking? — PolitiTweet.org

@ijbailey It is supposed to prove that the decoupling I have observed in comedy hasn't to my knowledge happened in Academy Award winning films. There are divergences of course but they are neither as stark or consistent as in comedy. — PolitiTweet.org

We keep going through this worst of both worlds cycle where the total number of guns is associated with more shootings so there's a push for gun control so lots of people buy guns to get 'em while they're still legal but then the gun control doesn't actually pass. — PolitiTweet.org
