Keep in mind, the paper they're citing for that healthcare cost overwhelmingly endorses the plan, and they're being hella misleading because they're citing the amount of funding that would go into the program if the bill were passed, not its net cost to the government. In fact, the analysis indicates that it would be a tremendous cost savings that reduces the deficit by $154,000,000 in the first year alone.

In the days when Sussman was a novice, Minsky once came to him as he sat hacking at the PDP-6.
“What are you doing?”, asked Minsky. “I am training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-Tac-Toe” Sussman replied. “Why is the net wired randomly?”, asked Minsky. “I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how to play”, Sussman said.
Minsky then shut his eyes. “Why do you close your eyes?”, Sussman asked his teacher.
“So that the room will be empty.”
At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.

So in other words, the Wall Street Journal is being a shill for scared rich people?

In other news, the Pope is Catholic and bears shit in the woods.

The hardcore Catholics too. Though I guess you're technically not Catholic anymore if you don't recognize the pope.

Arguably he's already a progressive, just one in the style of an enlightened Kaiser.

I'm going to do the smart thing here and disengage. This isn't a hill I paticularly care to die on.

Why you gotta profile people by race?

Cuz I'm a caustic nerd on the internet who uses words like monotonic so anything I say is science and cant be racist.

I'm sure maniac, our resident economist, can break it down further for us.

It's great because once I was just one of the forum link miners and now that the forum has attracted enough immigrants I have a whole new title.  I could break it down for you but I mandate the construction of three masterwork pieces of punnery made out of Donald Trump quotes before I do my job.  Also Frumple pretty much nailed it.

So basically, I have no further information into Trump's position than I did before I watched, but my earlier characterization of his platform seems less like satire in the aftermath.

Obviously he was talking about the largest anti-aircraft battery complement but you losers dont know anything about the combined fleet role of WWII battleships in carrier airgroups like TRUMP does.

And besides that, American battleships were winners and that makes your guns feel big.
