Big Mean Jerk posted:I’m genuinely curious why he thinks every president since FDR was a lizard except Truman, Ike, Obama, and Trump. Did the lizard people just not primary well in those elections? I am not entirely sure, but I think in UFO conspiracy lore, Truman like signed some secret treaty with lizard people and grey aliens or some poo poo that expanded their influence.

By the way, because it comes up every time: Do not look at your 401k. Do not mess with your 401k. Do not reduce your contribution to your 401K. DO NOT TAKE MONEY OUT OF YOUR 401K. It is still the best retirement vehicle available to you, assuming you're not earning a pension, even with the current chaos in the market. I can prove this with math.

Just do double check, there isn't some insane provision in a law somewhere that allows the president to shut down the government while there's an active budget, right? This is just brain worms talking?

Deified Data posted:lol if I do it is purely by accident. What is his thesis? On a surface look, he's not wrong, but digging deeper there's a lot of people who are only "good" because circumstances haven't permitted them to be poo poo yet. See also the katrina roving gangs of white people trying to find black "looters" to execute and all the people you can convince to make a lynching a public festival. I think there's a very small group of people that would refuse to break laws or go against their morality no matter what the circumstances they find themselves in, a much larger group that will break laws but try not to hurt anyone directly (think cooking meth, dealing whatever, breaking into cars) and some smaller subset that happily hurt other people (robbery/murder combos, muggings, muscle) Driving showcases it in a microcosm: straight up vast majority of the population of the US is fine with breaking the speed limit to some extent because doing the limit is a trivial inconvenience to themselves. There's a tiny number of people who do the limit, and a handful of people who weave through traffic 30-40mph faster than the flow.

This is just brain worms talking? There is no master switch that swings from GOVERNMENT ON to GOVERNMENT OFF. The government shuts down because its statutory authorization to spend money expires at a certain time. If, before this time, Congress passes a new authorization and the President signs it, spending continues and all is well. If this does not happen, we have a shutdown. So it's not really Trump positively declaring that the government is hereby shut down, it's more his and Congress's complete failure to do their jobs in a competent and timely manner.

If, before this time, Congress passes a new authorization and the President signs it, spending continues and all is well. If this does not happen, we have a shutdown. Right. Also, it's not the whole government, it's only about 1/5th of the government, because the Army, VA, and several other executive agencies are already either funded through Oct 2019 by existed spending resolutions passed earlier this year, or are entirely or mostly self-funding (post-office, etc) enough to limp along until Democrats are sworn in. So it's just the DHS (which includes the TSA in the middle of the holiday rush, which is why everyone's freaking out) and the Interior and a few other services. Also, there is broadly bipartisan agreement on a spending bill with the exception of The Wall, so if Trump doesn't declare his intention to veto, it would pass easily with whatever R's and D's are willing to schlep into Washington during the lame duck session.

In most functional countries the budget from the year before keeps running until a new one is made. I'd suggest that but I know the US would find a way to gently caress it up. Like Republicans blocking a Dem budget to keep their own budget for 25 years straight.

There's no way Peterson is leaving Patreon by his own will. He was getting over 100k a month BEFORE he made the numbers private. If he's kicked out it will hurt a lot for him.
