I like him on House. He should have been at least a recurring character.

Speaking of documentaries, I watched "only the dead see the end of war" last night. Pretty good stuff, and seeing that most of you should have HBO, you should check it out.

I have to say that this episode annoyed me because of the topic more than anything. I hate how everyone hates tax breaks and the "they took our jobs" loving attitude of sending jobs overseas and Puerto Rico does it then we're supposed to feel bad for them when they have our jobs, then we're supposed to feel even more bad when we take them back loving which oen do you want america. Also Puerto Rico doesn't pay federal taxes, just payroll taxes and even on that they don't pay until they make something absurd like 40k dollars, and universal health care, and they spent themselves into a dumb mess that the're currently in. They need a bail out, I get john is asking for a patch fix but they need a loving bailout like crazy. They also shouldn't be tied to america if they want to pull off stunts like this. Did I mention pretty much nobody pays taxes in Puerto Rico?

I don't mean this in an "I'm too cool for Hamilton" way or anything but it struck me as really weird when they showed a context-free 20 second clip that might as well have been anyone rapping about anything, and John Oliver was like SEE??? gently caress IT'S SO GOOD!!! I guess it makes more sense knowing LMM was actually there though, John Oliver has been known to oversell a compliment

Stumiester posted:I think that you have to give the Hamilton album the time it deserves - sit down with the lyrics, read along and listen to the whole thing in one shot. Without the visuals it can be difficult to follow without the lyrics, it really is pretty amazing. I'm doing this and finished Act 1. I need to take a break but it's really, really good. I love musicals but I generally don't like rap/hiphop and it took me a few songs to warm up to it, but now it's awesome.

That was almost literally the exact reaction of my father -- a 60-something white guy. So yeah, just because you're not a fan of the specific music genre that it's largely associated with doesn't mean you'll dislike Hamilton.

You do realize they did that to get people to come and get some income into the commonwealth? Also how can they be taking our jobs when they are American citizens?

Statehood or independence are really the only ways to solve the problems facing PR in the long-term. The solution is not amending Chapter 9. The provision in Chapter 9 against PR can be appealed very easily by making it the 51st state. The prevailing reason PR's some of citizens are voting against statehood is because they dont want to pay federal taxes and they think they'll bear the brunt of their debt burden. The US should bail out the island so the debt issue can be solved, and extend tax breaks to the citizens for awhile. Of course, neither major party wants them to be added as a state so it wont happen.

Yes, a lot of things need to be fixed in Puerto Rico, but it's not the citizens' faults. The US set up their economic rules to benefit the US, some corrupt PR politicians didn't do much to make it better, then the US kept making it worse, and now lovely US business people are preying on them.

Hamilton is really great but I can totally understand the hype rubbing some people the wrong way at this stage. All I can say is I thought I would never buy CDs again but I had to have this soundtrack for my car. Doubt I will ever see it live, nor do I feel I need to really.

I've seen a few of the clips of Hamilton, but I'm not really grabbed or anything. I guess it helps a bunch of people get an interest in history if they don't have one already? I guess Hamilton is also a great guy to follow to show how much the founding fathers hated eachother's guts. He's the reason for the part of the constitution that stipulates how Ted Cruz isn't eligible for president.

I'd heard the name Hamilton a lot, but only checked out the album on Spotify this week. There are very few things in life I am sure of, but I am fairly certain these songs will he stuck in my head for the rest of the year. It really is something else.

Yeah I totally agree that when bringing up a bunch of lighthearted funny changes between the 90s and now that it's incomprehensible to not bring up a few terrorists flying into a couple of buildings, killing a few thousand people, and giving collective anxiety to the whole world. I would have totally cut out the destiny's child joke to fit a 9/11 joke in.

You do realize this was meant as a joke and not a serious retrospective on important events of the last 17 years. I'm pretty sure the cicadas give no fucks either way.
