A reminder that the Constitution was not written to restrain the citizens' behavior.
It was written to restrain the government's behavior.

The $1 trillion is evidence that you have already solved many of the world's problems .... provided, of course, you came by the money through mutual exchange and not theft, extortion, etc.
And btw you could not provide everyone a home, "proper healthcare" etc. on a mere $1T.

I really don’t understand true greed. If I was worth $1 trillion, you’d have to physically stop me from solving as many of the world’s problems as possible.
Everyone would have a home, food on the table, proper healthcare, happiness.
I just don’t get it.

Apparently Austin pd limits police reports by encouraging use of an online system that forces canned responses that lead to over escalation of the event. So sad.

Taylor Sheridan's The Madison is purdy good. Can't hardly wait for the prequels, the Gallatin and the Jefferson.
