Yeah, if we can't accept people changing their minds, then we will always lose everything every time.
This is exactly what we should be looking for...
Grandad says something bigoted.
Younger people educate grandad.
Grandad publicly acknowledges that he was wrong and gives others an opportunity for others to do the same?
How do you complain about that?
Thirteen....
I appreciate that you put time into this comment.
But I will never subscribe to your ideology. I think you should reconsider everything.
What if we were pro-active, and trapped them by creating some bullshit "next big thing" and then just pocket all of their cash when they invest.
"You thought your money was going towards a space elevator, but little did you know, you've been single-handedly housing and feeding the population of six US cities!! Muahahahahahah!"
They will ruin it, and then move onto the next thing to subsume and destroy forever.
Someone think of the "prompt engineers"!
I honestly cannot tell if this is a joke or not lol.
Right. And surely all libertarians will always agree about which parts of the government need to be reduced.
Every time this shit is tried, it is a miserable failure. At best, they spend years learning the hard way as to why regulations exist. Regulations that were already written in blood, they just can't be bothered to read the history about them (or they refuse to believe it if they don't witness it themselves).

We need to stop thinking that we have some kind of hidden knowledge that the people who failed at this before didn't have, and if we could just try it one more time, it will work this time bro I swear.
As I said, these regulations were written in blood. We don't need more bloodshed just to relearn the lessons we've already learned (sometimes several times) already.
I hope he never has a moment of peace for the rest of his miserable existence.
Democrats and Republicans have been playing a completely different game for so long, that they are actually stunned sometimes if someone on the left actually does anything close to resistance.
Dude is just draining our economy for personal gain.
I bet half of this (probably why he chose to double it) will be waiting for him in his bunker when he finally has to flee.
