None of us got to ”choose” the economy we live in. Well, most of us, as the ultra-wealthy have options unavailable to the masses. It is beyond critical that people understand what the election next year represents. I think Chris wants to understand as well, and this space could present a crystallization of ideas that better focuses people's minds on reality itself.
Fervent Trump supporters and dogmatic Christians are a proximal threat to the United States. People need to understand this threat, and it should be clear that reason alone is not gonna cut it. We must appeal to human emotions.
If we were a European country, we would have rooted extremists out of churches. As it stands, we have hundreds, if not thousands of churches across the country essentially preaching Nazi ideals which have again spread worldwide. Here, it is all covered under freedom of speech and religion. But we are playing chicken with the Constitution, with the other side willing to get into a head-on crash. Or worse, wanting the head-on collision.
Yay, Patric! And thank you for the opportunity, Chris! I wanted to give a gift subscription, but couldn't think of anyone to give it to. Unfortunately, I can't do ten, but I am happy to donate one! I tried processing it just now and it asks for the recipient's email address. Should I use yours?
I just bought a subscription for a friend! Way to go Patric.
Nice of Patric. I didn't match that, but I did just buy 2 subscriptions for family and I encourage people to do the same
Thanks, Todd. Awesome!
Off Topic, but Chris should have a meet and greet for his paid subscribers at a local restaurant.
