Sat on it for too long?

Something is telling me that really don’t want to turn those all on at the same time.

I love how just how shitty the posts get here.

Why? Because fuck you, that’s why.

Sat on it for too long

Gestures broadly to all recorded history.

The founders debated long after the constitution was ratified too.

Outlawing parties would be in direct violation of their first amendment. Humans are social by nature* - coalitions, parties, groups will form just because we exist.

*Yes I’m counting my AuADHD ass because even though I hate socializing with a passion I want to be able to.

It’s almost like we have this whole written history to learn from and the people unable or uninterested in learning keep doing the same shit because they didn’t know it was tried before.

It’s like their thing.

It’s actually kind of mind boggling. Lenin knew this was a thing and took all sorts of steps to correct it, but his mistake was demanding it to improve by force. “We’re making your lives better now, or else.”

I mean, shit, a big ass group of armed dudes on horses show up in my cold ass disconnected village and they say we need to do x, y, and z to improve our lives or else? Yeah that’s sus.

I’m worried these means of carving up the government are going to get the Democrats to capitulate. They will blame Democrats for everything that gets carved anyway, that was always the plan.

The regime needed to be starved of funds earlier this year. Second best time is now. If the supreme court allows the executive to allocate tarrifs as they want, then the branch still gets some means of funding - probably military and ICE.

There is a flaw with their plan. Yes, we will all suffer greatly, but ever increasing tarrifs on imported goods will result in a decrease on imported goods regardless if they are made in America or not. This means that while they might have a good source of funds secured temporarily, the revenue generated is still bound by math. n * ( price of good * tarrif - price of good) = total revenue. As n approaches 0, revenue approaches 0, regardless if tarrifs grow infinitely.

At some point, even the wealthiest Americans won’t be able to afford the imported good. If nothing is imported, no money is generated, and the executive has nothing to allocate.

They’re definitely aware of this. Hence why they are doing everything they can do to guarantee a 2026 midterm gives them complete control of the house and Senate. They need regular funds back before they can no longer pay ICE and military. That’s coming here very soon.

It’s also been approved for medical use since 1968.

Pretty sure contact OD would have gotten it removed from the market pretty fucking fast.

It’s also why we need to avoid violence and make the regime stumble into itself.

Which is why Chinese and Russia propaganda is attempting to stoke the fire (remember, they eliminated their opposition, so they don’t have the same experience inciting violence and they think they do).

a lot more effort

I want to highlight this part. Part of the executive dysfunction is that intrinsic rewards don’t feel rewarding OR reward too much.

Filling out paperwork can be a short 10 minute task, but nuerotypical individuals are rewarded with a small dopamine hit for simply finishing it. I don’t get any. So anything else that is slightly more interesting captures my attention and energy. In my experience, I get a dopamine hit for avoiding the boring mandatory thing, not so much whatever the thing distracting me is. This quickly snowballs out of control and a 10 minute task took all day.

Likewise, things that are very interesting to me (video games, hobby stuff, the Wikipedia hole) can trigger a lot of reward and I end up hyperfocusing.

Adderall helps by reducing the power of those interesting things and increases the reward for doing mundane things.
