We would need a livable minimum wage, UHC, guaranteed access to housing, food, and water, and to raise Social Security payments to a guaranteed comfortable income tied to the actual rate of inflation (a CPI that accounts for food, gas, utilities, and housing.) Also, a fix for out-of-control housing price increases.

While I'm at it, every citizen should get a monthly check from Big Therapy and a unicorn that lays golden eggs.

im sure there are plenty of rear end in a top hat libs who can afford to medicate that away but the fact they can afford it has more to do with why they�re rear end in a top hat libs

if anything being diagnosed with adhd helped partly explain why every part of capitalism has been such a punch in the loving taint for me my whole life

edit: i worry, probably more than i need to, that this post comes off anti-medication. you�re not an rear end in a top hat if you take medication for adhd (at least no more of an rear end in a top hat than i am), you�re an rear end in a top hat if you�re a filthy rich person, was what i was clumsily trying to say

ADHD and anxiety absolutely piggyback off each other, particularly inattentive (which is what I have)

you gently caress things up because you're zoning out all the time, which makes you anxious, which gives you something else to distract you, and so on and so forth

Anxiety is a snake eating its own tail too, in that never really being "present" because you're worrying about how you're not really "present" keeps you from being really "present"

ask me about never really being able to enjoy when something good happens because I'm worried I'm not enjoying it enough

Stop Telling Stephen Breyer to Retire
The Supreme Court justice doesn�t need liberals to tell him he�s 81.

quote:

Friends, Romans, countrymen, law professors: Please stop telling Justice Stephen Breyer to retire. Yes, Breyer is a (healthy) 81. Yes, the Democratic Senate majority is wafer-thin, and it would likely be impossible for President Joe Biden to replace Breyer with another liberal if the Democrats lose even one of their 50 votes in the Senate.

But here�s the thing: Breyer knows these facts already. He is the one of the great pragmatist justices ever to have sat on the Supreme Court, following in the footsteps of Justice Louis Brandeis. Breyer also knows Capitol Hill, having worked there three separate times: once on the Watergate investigation and twice for the Senate Judiciary Committee. He can be trusted to do the right thing � provided liberal law professors don�t box him in by declaring that he �must� resign.

To understand Breyer�s thinking about retirement, we can begin by considering his worldview and jurisprudence � as well as his writing about the court, its function, and how it is viewed.

Breyer�s career stands as a monument to the idea of a Supreme Court justice as a wise, practical actor who strives to make the system of government work effectively and efficiently. He attended Stanford, Oxford (where he studied as a Marshall Scholar), and Harvard Law School, before clerking for Justice Arthur Goldberg, who had previously been John F. Kennedy�s secretary of labor and later became Lyndon Johnson�s ambassador to the United Nations.

After spending a couple of formative years as an antitrust lawyer at the Department of Justice, Breyer quickly returned to Harvard as a law professor. His central intellectual contribution was (with his colleague Richard Stewart) to redefine the field of administrative law as an exercise in rational regulation. To simplify, before Breyer, lawyers mostly thought that administrative law was about letting experts in agencies do their jobs. After Breyer � and following his example � administrative lawyers began to become experts in costs and benefits, supply and demand, and other core principles of rational regulation.

Throughout his career, Breyer has believed that ideology and party are far less important than clear thinking and smart regulatory policy that makes people better off without costing more than it is worth. This perspective has come through in his extensive writing and lecturing, where he has emphasized that judges are not and must not be considered partisan political actors. If Breyer has an ideology, it is the rejection of ideology in favor of pragmatism.

This matters crucially for the question of his stepping down. The more the timing of his retirement is depicted as a partisan objective, the less he will want to do it. To be seen to retire �in order� to let Biden pick his successor would betray Breyer�s own career-long objective of making decisions based on what is right for the country, not for one party. That said, Breyer�s pragmatism means he knows he must weigh the costs and benefits of retiring at any given moment.

So it is absolutely essential for liberals to stop lecturing the man about it being his time to go. Every column or television comment � the more prominent, the worse � traps Breyer into having to stay out so as not to appear to be acting as a partisan.

What Breyer needs and deserves is room to maneuver, to find the best and most rational way to satisfy the complex competing interests around his retirement. The good news is, that�s his expertise. The liberal legal commentariat should stand back and let the master operate. He knows what he�s doing. Don�t make it harder for him.

If they are already leaning toward "gently caress Immigrants" for making them look bad then we are probably not too many years away from armed border turrets.

Republicans will want cheaper bullets to fire more. Democrats will want expensive environmentally friendly green bullets that are carbon neutral and plant a tree in each dead immigrants body. We will use the cheaper bullets.
