@hooky the funniest ever is that comic dog. Trump was going to an appearance in the hood but was riding in a tank. The one black guy who was in the crowd and started laughing was absolutely hilarious
If you want to see something funny, go to the substack link in that tweet and watch him try to dance in the second video.

@hooky @bulk-vh if you haven’t seen the triump dog 2016 election series it is one of the funniest series I’ve ever watched. Peak chappele show funny. He follows the Ted Cruz bus to all his spots and has speech memorized and repeats it at every stop. The trump Bernie Hillary stuff is truly laugh out loud.

@bulk-vh damn those fries look good. that is hilarious! the star wars convention is another great one. there's so many
@bulk-vh he's so damn funny that a while back in one of our friends text chains someone sent around a video and all you saw was a parking lot literally for like 30 seconds. no sound. then all of a sudden in a low whisper you hear "we're in the parking lot outside...." and i bust out laughing just at that. bc you knew it was coming lmao. and i had no idea it was a triump video
I'm saying the racket is a racket but the people are mostly sincere. Evil results are an emergent property of a bunch of good people involved in a system with bad incentives.I know it sells politically, but calling it an "evil racket" of politicians and NGOs profiting off the homelessness problem might be too much—at least as a description of the people involved.
He's probably correct that there's a large group of people in politics and NGOs who have a religious-like devotion to their priors, will not challenge them, and will fight dirty anyone who does. But I think, at bottom, that stems from a notion that they, themselves, are in the right and their identities are tied up in that — to change or admit wrong now would destroy their views of themselves and their careers. Jonathan Haidt (of The Coddled Mind and Righteous Mind) writes about this: when professional identity fuses with ideological identity, policy criticism becomes a personal attack to that person. That's why they come off as so vicious (and stupid) when challenged. Even presenting evidence to them is a personal attack on their very being.
And yes, for many at the top, changing course would also eliminate a really good salary. What locks the system in place is that the psychological and the financial reinforce each other — the belief system protects the salary; the salary protects the belief system. Neither has to be cynically chosen for the dynamic to be self-sealing. I think this is what public choice theory calls institutional capture. It leads to organizations that were created to solve a problem then developing a structural interest in its persistence. But most of the people inside it are sincere. Which is one big reason why they are so resistant to reform.
You say it's not a racket, but then you proceed to list the incentives that contribute to it being a racket.

I know he's still a long shot to win outright next week, but I hope he gets enough votes for a run off with Bass. All these AI vids are too good to just give up cold turkey.
