Reminds me of an old Letterman bit.

Ew. Teams.

The sequel to The Social Network had better have Kathy Bates wrestling Jesse Eisenberg in a backyard octagon, smothered in Sweet Baby Rays BBQ sauce.

For those who want a bathing experience that feels like a decontamination after an industrial accident.

Probably going to be like an anchor bolt. They will cinch up. What you want is warm water so you can move things around.

The US and Europe DO have socialized things. Mass transit, roads, health care systems, retirement systems, etc.

Finding a contemporary nation that is 100% capitalist with everything 100% privatized is pretty hard to find. Ditto for modern socialism with everything 100% socialized. Most places are a combo or capitalism and socialism.

It’s pretty damn hard to find a nation that is 100% capitalist or 100% socialist. Most places sit somewhere in the middle of the spectrum. Even super capitalist America has socialized programs and infrastructure, and super communist China has private companies.

The Nordic nations are the biggest example that we have of democratic nations that are further on the socialism end of the spectrum.

Nordic countries yo.

Meanwhile, I’m just happy to see quality content on GamePass again.

Socialist democracies are cool. Think Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, etc

Socialist authoritarian states like China, the USSR, etc. those are not cool.

The problem isn’t having social safety nets and collective control of shared critical resources like transit and healthcare. The problem is when you don’t let people vote for their own best interests.
