Real #negotiation creates value. #BadFaith negotiation just redistributes it, usually into one party’s pocket. KNOW THE DIFFERENCE. A negotiation without #GoodFaith isn’t a negotiation at all, it’s just a slower, more elaborate mugging. Same result, just with more meetings and a veneer of civility. #PowerDynamics #KnowYourWorth #Boundaries

But Wells cites a quote in that ruling that mentions "public virtue."

"It's easy to just look past that term," he says.

Ezra Klein Is a Mark

Charlie Kirk was one of the most effective spokespeople for the fascist movement currently destroying everything we thought we knew about America. He was a very good salesman who convinced people like Ezra Klein his edited videos depicted an earnest debate as it unfolded.
