Do they move the cargo into smaller vehicles to get into the city? Or schedule the deliveries for low traffic times? Or just say fuck it and head into traffic?

That’s not happening with Millennials. You can debate why, but the data is clear.

This chart in particular is extremely telling.

I did the math a few years ago because I couldn’t find anyone else who had published it. This is rough and IANAM (mathmagicman).

Every single day 8,000 boomers and above die, and 12,000 people turn 18 and those numbers are actually accelerating. If you use existing data to estimate conservative/liberal and likely voters within those groups it works out to a delta of 10,000 per day on a national scale. That’s 5,000 votes switching every single day. That might not seem like alot. Because it really isn’t. Out of 155 million votes cast, 10,000 is .006 percent. But here’s the thing. It’s cumulative. And it just doesn’t stop. It is relentless. it’s 300k a month, 3.6 million per year. And that pace is accelerating. Between 2020 and 2024 it’s a 15 million vote difference. By 2028 it’s 30 million.

It used to be that people age into conservatism. But that is not happening with millennials. The demographics are changing, and changing quickly. The most conservative group in the country is dying. While the most liberal group is rising.

We just have to hold on to democracy for a few more years. This will all be behind us. Another 10k today.

I’ve never read any of his books. Top 3? Just the titles. I’ll go in blind.

What is a high floor low ceiling book?

I’ve actually got a few really cool things coming together in my life. Job is going well. Back on the bicycle as soon as it warms back up. Back in the gym now. Another “supplement” cycle upcoming. Just bought a house. The podcast went from 0 to several thousand downloads a month in 1 year. Starting a non profit that has a huge interest in donations already. May start twitch streaming for fun.

So I’ll claim it. 2024 will be my year.

Not yet.

43. I want to punch that guy for throwing everything away because he thinks he’s older than us.

Tap. Tap. It’s not working.

Ted Lasso got boring after the first season because they made everyone happy and bubbly. It worked so much better when Ted was the lone optimist.

I want to believe…so for now, I will.

Keep kicking ass Margot!

Obviously Christians are horrible hypocrites. Just look at their embrace of Trump. There is no hate like Christian love.

But that’s not why I rejected Christianity. It had nothing to do with the book. Or the people. It’s down to one simple thing. There is no God. It’s a myth. It’s bronze age mythology. Everything is just man made. Men invented it. Men wrote it. Men interpret it and argue about it. It’s all made up. There. Is. No. God.

I spent 30 years immersed in evangelical Christianity. I have read the Bible cover to cover. Twice. The world will be better off when your belief system is relegated to the ash heap of history.

Your belief system is finally dying. And humanity will be better because of it.

An argument is an intellectual process. Contradiction is just the automatic gainsaying of anything the other person says.

Wot-encyclopedia.com it has excellent chapter summaries for the slog books.

You’re right. I guess when I was really looking they weren’t there yet. I ordered one already. Thanks.

This is really specific. But I have wanted it for years. A switch for two 3.5 mm sound. Basically plug two inputs into the box, have 1 output and a simple physical switch that would let me flip back and forth.

Did you see that ludicrous display last night?
