“Fiscal Conservatives” strike again.

Direct your money towards better journalism.

I suggest ProPublica.

Wish we could all be smart enough to drop Amazon in protest.

Revoke his citizenship.

They must not be spending enough ad money.

We need a path to permanently removing money from politics, with harsh penalties for violations. “Nuclear harsh.”

That will change the dynamics of incentives for public office, alone solving most if not all issues.

One data point doesn’t make a standard.

In general, most CrossFit coaches were well intentioned, but cared more about a rapid pace through reps, rather than the safety of the members.

Weightlifting in CrossFit is better understood as a subtly different exercise. Traditional Weightlifting is a maximum effort exercise, and purely by human physiological limits it has to be modified for CrossFit. If sub-max effort shortcuts were taught, and technical qualification requirements were mandated, the injury rate would be greatly reduced.

I was lucky to learn Olympic Weightlifting in the 90s from a world class coach, but that was just because I was in the right place at the right time.

I’m thankful for the exposure CrossFit brought to the sport, because there’s lifting platforms everywhere now. However, most CrossFit coaches are horrible in regard to providing necessary technique instruction to avoid injury.

One small example that frequently results in injury: you do not “catch” the bar when performing a clean on the palms of your hands. You catch the bar across your deltoids and clavicle.

At a CrossFit gym where I weightlifted for 3 years, I knew of five people needing surgery to repair damage to their wrists from catching a clean improperly on the palms of their hands. They could have just been taught proper technique from the start, but most CrossFit gyms are more concerned with pushing you to your limit immediately, not with finding your long-term potential and avoiding injury.

Hopefully it’s improved, but based on the rapid downward popularity trend, I’d assume they have killed off participants through attrition.

Because fascism.

I’m sure there’s a quid pro quo.

We get shitty choices because our political system allows for institutional bribery.

Our choices will forever be limited until bribery is removed for the system.

Those at the top know what they’re doing.

They know this is the mother of all grifts.

15 could ultimately end up giving Biden the presidency, because it likely ended up killing more conservative voters.

Just add judges. Done.

You’re projecting logical thinking. Stop.

The Republicans need wedge issues for culture wars. It’s a numbers game and that’s all they care about.

Projecting logic and critical thinking on a party that’s moving towards fascism is a fool’s errand.

The wholly predictable outcome of poorly regulating capitalism.

“The market will create competition and the best products.” No. The market will seek the optimal method to make the most money, and if that optimal method includes killing people, that will be the method selected.

Start putting people in jail and taking businesses into receivership for bad behavior, and then the optional method for maximizing profit will also result in better products.

And they knew a long time ago it would be expensive and did it anyway.

Power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely.

And why is Hamas there if we follow the entire timeline?

Why? Israel has been trying to take that land since 1917.
