- Comment on I hear a lot of "ACAB", why don't I hear "APAB"? (P as in Politician) 1 week ago:
Most local politicians I know don’t get paid (school board, commissioners, etc) or they get paid very little for the time they put in.
If you count up all the expected folks in the USA, less than 1% are what you think of as “politicians.” They are mostly just people you see at the grocery store

Some people grow thick beards, others grow gross pubey beards. There’s no magic fix, no matter how much beard oil you use.
- Comment on why does alcohol stop my back pain but medicine doesn't? 4 weeks ago:
What you’re really asking is “why do some drugs work for me, while others don’t?”
I’d bet there are some prescriptions that would work for you and probably a number of other “recreational” drugs too

Do hearing folks teach classes? My ASL classes were immersion by default because all the profs were Deaf

Maybe try Gallaudet? More Deaf folks, as it’s pretty much 100% Deaf from top to bottom

- Comment on If my county passes a new tax for um lets say a new jail. They staff it and build it and everything with the tax money. How come it seems the tax is there forever? Why not get rid of it when built? 1 month ago:
In addition to staffing that other people mentioned, your town isn’t paying for the jail up front. They are issue a decades-long bond and paying it off over 30+ years.

- Comment on How Will We Know If The Trump Tariffs Were A Good Idea? 2 months ago:
I’ll take a stab at a “serious” answer, although be cautioned that this thinking is irrational.
If they worked, we would see manufacturers almost instantly beginning construction on US factories, opening new ones and reopening shuttered plants. We would see trade “balance” in terms of imports and exports with every trading partner we have.
