A real economist would know that you can’t actually tax business, that makes you an ecommunist.

Any 'tax' that a business pays is merely another cost of raw material that will get passed onto the consumer.

At least Fredo had an excuse as he had viral pneumonia as a baby and it did apparently cause some brain function issues later in life.

Sandy from Westchester keeps pissing off the powers behind the democrats and she’ll get what Fredo got in Lake Tahoe

She is not very intelligent. She got where she is because she was attractive, young and backed by a pretty good organization. (I think they chose a bad candidate to back. But, time will tell.)

Her problem is, like most people who are not particularly intelligent, she doesn’t know what it is that she doesn’t know. Like the young man who recently decided so steal a private jet so he could attend a rap concert in a distant city; he said, “How hard can it be? You push a few buttons.” (Her statement on how they should spend the Amazon tax relief is on par with the man stealing a jet.)


I think the old lions in the RAT party are very disappointed in her. She's proven to be not only hugely unintelligent and a poor politician, she's effectively "scaring away the straights" which their Party will need in 2020.

combat_boots said she needs a better handler. I think that's VERY true.

And...the fact that she isn't receiving a handler - or at the least, getting someone to go and stop her from constantly running her mouth, suggests that Pelosi et al. are letting this former barmaid swim out on her own into the deep, choppy water of DC politics without a preserver.

Look at who she's already pissed off: her Governor and her Mayor. Forget that the SJW kids love her. The RAT leadership knows that they need the older voters.

She's already begun to melt with these snide responses.

So, when she falls to the earth and crashes like Icarus, the RAT leadership can say "Oh, so sad, what potential she had! But we tried to help..."

Life is thought to have begun with single cell organisms. As they evolved, some populations became plants, some animals, some fungi, some archaea, and some bacteria. These are the five kingdoms of life.

Some genes and metabolic pathways are preserved across all life kingdoms. This indicates that they all have a common ancestor.

Just an FYI... Boston College is a different institution than Boston University. They are about 4 miles apart.

Somebody in an article the other day pointed out that AOC has an amazing knack for always being the victim, for always making it about her. This is just another illustration of that.

It is ironic that she would use the word disappointing. She is living, breathing example of disappointment in our education system.

Exactly - Liberals think the economic pie is a zero sum game. Either they don’t know or don’t what to understand that the pie can get bigger. You can create wealth.

This is a devastating loss for NY.

Inside every cell in your body are little organelles called mitochondria, they provide the chemical energy that fuels your cells.

Mitochondria use a different DNA coding than the rest of your biology. They were from a separate but parallel beginning.

Very early on we made a mutually beneficial deal, step into my cell, and I’ll protect you from the environment and give you nutrients, and you run the power plant.

Wrap your mind around that. Separate beginnings at roughly the same time.

I’d say that means that the step from chemistry to life is more inevitable than popularly thought. What say you?

This woman goes out everyday with a mission to convince us that she really knows nothing, especially about economics.

Has anyone gone to her college and asked them, “Is this what you taught her?”

I've searched the Bible in vain for instructions on how to grow a 1000Å oxide on silicon. I guess that means the computer you used to post that is un-Godly.

Save yourself, my friend, destroy your ungodly computer now, while there may yet be time to escape eternal punishment in a 1000°C furnace in dry 100% oxygen!
