Feelings are more persuasive than facts. Facts matter more for smart policy but itβs dumb to ignore feelings because thatβs what gets the masses on your side
The best combo is getting emotions in sync with the facts
Does anyone have a link for the truth about immigration channel that was referenced in the show yesterday?
yeah hol up famsung
im guessing this is it
only one i could find
Danke, I'll check it out.
A new(ish) thing
I have been admiring three things over the last few months.
The excellent operational tactics (or battlefield strategy) used by the gillets
Exactly the way I would deploy impetuous light infantry
The excellent way the French police have (mostly) deployed as disciplined heavy infantry
And thirdly, the way any and all media spin this for their own ends.
Professionally, Iβm impressed on all three of those axis
Just listened to the show from last night. Who was down for a meet up in bucks county pa?
Pens USA? Bit of a commute for me
I'm always just a couple days from anywhere really
I could get something going in Wisconsin, but Schlecht already moved away from here and I don't know of anyone else from here
Like I said I'm just a couple days from anywhere all though I'm not from there
How about MN?
I've only actually driven through MN but what I saw was nice
You know, i forgot to ask if anyone knew what candy was at one of Trumps visits he had with Schumer and Pelosi, it was reported that he had candy at the meeting (not abnormal i don't think). But it would have been so funny if all of it was Baby Ruths.
Probably the same candy he threw in front of Merkel π
@J Edgar where in Wisconsin? I'm in Chicago so parts of WI isn't necessarily un-do-able. (that's a word)
You're in Chicago? I'm so sorry
... uhoh. why sorry? (technically I live in the suburbs but i'm sitting at my desk in the sears tower which is why i went with "in chicago" even though it's kind of cheating)
Lol, bc it's a more leftist of stronghold than Madison, and that's saying something
oh. well yes. very much so. I lucked out at my last job being like, the only conservatives in tech - this new job is less so, but they're way more live-let-live.
and as far as local politics, i'm in like, the only red village in the suburbs. even if now we DO have the unfortunate reputation of being the only village dumb enough to have 60-some percent of the population almost vote in an actual literal nazi. that was... less fun.
If I got everything organized, it would probably be Milwaukee or somewhere around Madison
neat π I could totally be down for either. I will keep an eye out!
I almost went to the west suburbs last night
To do something really dumb
oh yeah? what dumb thing? cuz now i gotta know. π
My ex
ooooh. yeah i'm glad you were able to avoid that.
even without knowing backstory - ex's are always dangerous
some of the western suburbs are okay though
