I'm going to start using this scale in daily conversation. Brilliant!
We fought a war 250 years ago to get a King’s name off our laws.

What do you want to bet some members of Dear Leaders regime invested heavily in Spirit Airlines before the bailout announcement?
It’s frustrating see a survey ask carefully designed questions that guide you to answer that the system is doing what it’s incentivised to do (vs what you think it should)
I’d love to see more “Is this survey useful?”, “how effective are these measures”, and “are we asking the right questions?”
I figured out why Dear Leader's policy for the Strait of Hormuz seems familiar.
Video: Sesame Street cartoon short of a large orange creature and a box to teach the Spanish words for "open" and "closed": "abierto" and "cerrado".
Judge ideas on their own merits.
Judge people on their own merits.
Don't confuse the two.
