Ayn Rand collected social security checks after retirement until her death.

That should tell you all you need to know about Ayn Rand.

Are these elitists in the room with you right now…?

In school and 99% of scenarios, physicality doesn’t do any good. But if you have a really young child, like 3-5, and they hurt another child or an animal and show no remorse, I think spanking is acceptable as a punishment immediately after the incident. They might have trouble with developing empathy and need to understand they hurt another being.

This is more on the right track for how to de-cult people like Trump. Need more anti-Trump conspiracy theories and weirdo prophecies to get through to the crazies.

Yeah but I would rather Iran not get access to more nuclear secrets

Listen, he’s in the Natives gang. He’s one of the good ones. Sucks off that guy with the glass eye though.

No, not my salt and vinegar kettle chips! 😭

Climbing during a storm? What a dumbass. Would have died from something else eventually, like forgetting to breathe.

It’s technically a tenancy dispute, but the actual problem is the same. Someone occupies a residence wothout permission. I agree providing tiny home style emergency housing is fine - there are plenty in my area and they are valuable for the community - but saddling landlords with higher risk results in worse rates (assuming no rent monopoly in the area) and agreements for the majority of tenants who are paying rent without issue.

I guess I’m the odd one out here, but squatter stories infuriate me. Signing a contract and then intentionally violating it is super unethical. The renting/income/ownership problem needs to be solved in other ways than letting people steal the property they’re living in. Letting people stay in properties without paying significantly increases landlord risk and causes shittier contracts and higher prices.

Also, if someone jas an eviction on their record, getting another rental is way harder. It’s good to discourage it so people don’t end up trapped unable to get another rental when they’re back on their feet.

You probably don’t choose to be homeless, but you do choose where to put your tent.

Sleeping is a biological necessity. So is shitting. WHY CAN’T I SHIT WHEREVER I WANT?! America sucks.

Quote from article:

"A deal is on the table” that “the entire world is behind,” Blinken told a news conference. “Israel has accepted it, and Hamas could have answered with a single word: yes.”

In the event, Hamas took 12 days to issue its official reply. “You get to a point where, if one side continues to change its demands, you have to question whether they’re proceeding in good faith or not,” Blinken said.

The article says the post was made by an employee in India. Seems like a cultural misunderstanding.

I wonder how the court would respond to a petition to allow firearms in court rooms. It’s a god-given American freedom, guaranteed by the second amendment right?

Lemme ask you a question: how did Jerusalem get its name, and who lived there and named it thousands of years ago?

No, it started in 1948. And it was started by several Arab nations, who invaded immediately after Britain released their mandate in the region protecting Israelis.

Heard of the six day war? How about the Yom kipour war? Who started any of them?
