I went to college in a fairly conservative area, and it was surprising to learn how big of a deal Rush was. He’d carefully repeat the names of New Democrats his listeners needed to hate, and when I went to a friend’s house saw the Rush newsletter on their coffee table. Later knew a guy who routinely listened to the whole show every day and barely thought about it. Eye opening to see that’s he’s not just a radio guy but had a massive propaganda operation that was a huge part of people’s lives.

I had my former step dad, who was as conservative as you would expect a lifelong oil and gas engineer to be, making me listen to it in the car and telling me how Rush was comedy in 2008 or so.

He then asked ny opinion about whichever garbage computer security software Rush was shilling for, and got upset when I gave a technical breakdown of what was wrong with it

This seems to be most common with conservative humor come to think of it.

My aunt is the same way for Hannity.

It's always "well, they're just an entertainer!" when proven incontrovertibly wrong, yet every word is taken as the gospel truth up until then. And folks are increasingly resistant to accepting truth, up to and including their "entertainer" publicly recanting and admitting being wrong ("well, they were just forced to say that by the globalists!").

There's a degree to which the same occurs across the political spectrum and folks should be vigilant about calling out that kind of thinking wherever they see it, but it's vastly more prominent on the right.

I really don't get it, there has to be some weird pathological poo poo going on with Biden to be this obstinate about student loan forgiveness. There's zero logic to it and little to no political gain as far as I can see.

There's plenty of political gain. The next financial crash is coming, an *engineered* one this time, and they're going to use it to finally kill off the middle class. Forgiving $50k in student debt would be too helpful to people whom they see as future serfs.

The boomers and neolibs I know hate the idea because THEY didn't get their loans forgiven. From what I have seen it is a blue dog FYGM from very financially secure people.

Yeah, *their* loans...for college educations that were more sensibly priced. Oh poo poo now that I mentioned that Elizabeth Warren's going to HEY KOOL-AID through my wall and talk about how she paid her way through college...

I wouldn't call them lax - they're oriented towards facilitating corporate structure. They're "advanced" in their approach to analyzing and resolving corporate issues

If you want to form a company, you form it in Delaware. If you want to form a tax shelter, you form it in Delaware. If you want to form a shell company, you form it in Delaware.

https://www.biia.com/discreet-delaware-why-corporate-secrecy-and-money-laundering-have-thrived-in-the-us

Delaware is basically a tax haven, in state form. No sales/personal property/inheritance taxes, the legal structure is hyper-friendly, and you can be secret as all hell. A lot of that stuff is likely going to be hit by the recent NDAA banning a lot of secretive shell companies, so things may shift in the near future. Until then, Delaware is the American Panama for companies.

You form a company in Delaware when you want to go public. There are plenty of states that offer private corporations as much or more benefits to Delaware. For public companies, though, Delaware is the default for ease of investment and uniformity of laws.
