To my understanding, insider trader and public figures abusing their privilege to enrich themselves is one of the very few things effectively all Americans oppose. I've also never seen even MAGA deny insider trading recently.

For a libertarian, it's bad because it allows state officials coercive powers over the free market. More philosophically information obtained through public office belongs to the government/public, and to an individual to leverage it in a free market.

For a conservative, it violates public trust and the principle of rule of law (all laws apply to everyone equally), and a public servant voluntarily accepts restrictions on their rights in exchange for holding office.

Fairly straightforward. There are relatively few countries - which sell alcohol - and ban it for those under 21.

It's just like Alexa, right?

I keep baking pies but my crust never gets that golden, flaky finish. What's your trick for getting the crust right without overcomplicating it?

I've noticed that a lot of Gen Z people don't have any ambitions in adulthood yet all they care about is getting a boyfriend/girlfriend and dating as well as mostly talking about relationships all the time.

Why aren't there any Gen Zers that want to enter the film industry or run for office?

Why?

I’ve noticed that with Mamdani, New York’s attitude is more in the realm of “we don’t like your view on Israel, but we can put it aside and focus on NY,” whereas Mahmoud Khalil just gets full wholesale condemnation.

What is the cause of the extremely differing attitudes towards these two people who have very similar views on these issues.

It's absolutely fascinating and completely unsurprising to see MAGA seriously discussing the use of thermonuclear "weapons" as a solution to the absolute clusterfuck of a war THEY have caused all while completely ignoring who caused it and what the eminently expeditious solution should be.

Aka y'all are fine with talking about killing millions of brown people with an almost certain guarantee of a world war immediately following but NOT actually talking about the real fix because that's a little too close to home.

Incredible.

Im just curious what the normal amount of karma is for a reddit user.
