It has always seems to me that guys who are attracted to Objectivism often already possess personality traits that align with it's philosophy, such as high self-confidence, skepticism of collectivism, and a strong focus on self-interest. This creates a surprisingly homogeneous group that is notably poor at critically evaluating their beliefs.. The saying, 'How do you know you're talking to a (Randian, not classical) Libertarian? Everything they say is wrong,' highlights the frustration when engaging with them. Their rigid application of principles tends to overlook nuance, complexity, and the real-world limitations of pure ideology. Additionally, the significant underrepresentation of women in libertarian circles is a conspicuous aspect of the 'sausage-fest' dynamic. The number of libertarian bros who turn up in Colombia and go on about prostitution.. I can only assume because regular educated women get the ick.
Nothing... these people are broke and need to steal your hard work and money. They'll go to all kinds of extreme lengths to take it. They'll lie, cheat, sell you sob stories, and even use violence if they get desperate enough. Don't fall for it. Look at the sexism and half-baked pseudo psychology Tux is trying to sell here: What's the cause du jour today Tux? You need a sailboat for the orphans or something?
Because it's an unbalanced argument otherwise. "You could have chosen a better candidate so I'm justified in voting for my shittier candidate "
https://www.worldcargonews.com/news...e-forward-with-strike-on-tuesday/?gdpr=accept The International Longshoremen’s Association (ILA) has confirmed its plans to initiate a strike across all Atlantic and Gulf Coast ports from Maine to Texas, beginning at 12:01 a.m. on Tuesday, October 1, 2024. The confirmation came in a statement issued on Sunday, September 29. “With 36 hours to go before the end of the ILA-USMX contract tomorrow evening, the 85,000 members of the International Longshoremen’s Association, joined in solidarity by tens of thousands of dockworkers and maritime workers around the world, will hit the picket lines at 12:01 am on Tuesday, October 1, 2024 and strike at all Atlantic and Gulf Coast ports from Maine to Texas,” the statement said. The strike is being announced after talks with the United States Maritime Alliance (USMX) on extending the labour contract, set to expire on September 30, ground to a halt. The ILA accuses USMX of ignoring decades of wage stagnation. “United States Maritime Alliance (USMX) refuses to address a half-century of wage subjugation where Ocean Carriers profits skyrocketed from millions to mega-billion dollars, while ILA longshore wages remained flat,” the union added. The ILA plans to provide further information to the public and media by 11 a.m. on Monday (local time). However, the union clarified that it will not be conducting one-on-one interviews until Tuesday, and no specific details regarding the locations of pickets or protests will be disclosed prior to the strike. The union previously stated that the strike would not impact military cargo shipments or cruise ship traffic. If it proceeds, this will be the first coast-wide ILA strike since 1977, affecting ports that handle about half of the nation’s ocean shipping. As WorldCargo News reported earlier, the USMX has filed an unfair labour practice charge with the National Labour Relations Board and requested immediate injunctive relief, requiring the union to resume bargaining so that a deal can be negotiated. However, Reuters reports, citing sources close to the matter, that there were no negotiations taking place between the two sides and no plans to resume talks. What is more, the Biden Administration has indicated it will not intervene using the federal Taft-Hartley Act to prevent the strike, allowing negotiations to proceed without federal disruption. In an interview earlier this month, ILA President Harold J. Daggett expressed scepticism about the effectiveness of invoking the Taft-Hartley Act. The Taft-Hartley Act requires workers to return to work for a mandatory 90-day period. Dagget said reinstating workers without addressing underlying issues may lead to decreased morale and commitment. This, he suggested, could result in suboptimal productivity levels, leaving employers to question who truly benefits in the long term.
Nothing. Why does it bother you? She's on the incumbent's ticket. He's not running. You'd be up in arms if he resigned and she was sworn in. You should be happy. California AG. US Senator. Why didn't the GOP produce a more qualified candidate than an orange r*tard? Considering he lost by what, 70 EC votes and 8MM in the popular count?
Don't put words in my mouth. I made a cut and dry statement reflecting my opinion of the DNC candidate. If I wanted to opine on the RNC candidate, I would have crafted a separate sentence accordingly.
Well said. "Tu quoque," appeal to hypocrisy, where they justify their choice by pointing to the perceived flaws of the alternative rather than addressing the merits of their own choice.
