BingoBoingo: Sure, the US could work on Ebola eradication if they hadn't spent so much on tilling the ground for ISIS. The Grad students and persons incrediby deserving the title of Herr Doktor could be on parade.
BingoBoingo: Both Americans who caught Ebola walked out of the hospital this week thanks to some expensive ass monoclonal antibodies. That Liberians can't can them means what? Sure it was an experimental drug, but as far as experimental drugs do they don't get much safer.

BingoBoingo: People with nothing to lose have no reason not to burn the world.

BingoBoingo: Oh, they totally do. It's all they can watch on Bravo anymoar
kuzetsa: I lived in mississippi for a few years, and there were totally black republicans there
decimation: because blacks vote 99% democrat, therefore making their opinions on any political matter void

decimation: extend and coopt, it's how the power game is played
BingoBoingo: decimation: Or avoid tax on their approved bezzels, but they get good feels. They are IN the fold nao.

asciilifeform liked mircea_popescu's mafia story and should like to hear more one day.
asciilifeform: deck chairs / titanic.
BingoBoingo: I mean if the situation for the blacks improved... would there be a Ferguson?
BingoBoingo: From what I can tell the only demographic group >500 people that benefited from the Obama regime so far were the gays
decimation: "Virtually every strongly conservative state has more liberal policies than predicted, and so does virtually every liberal state. " no shit
decimation: ascii when the day comes I'll help you dissolve the rock around FDR's neck :)
BingoBoingo remembers the "Mall" as a place full of the Jaundiced and Juiced
decimation: somehow a phallus was good enough for washington, fdr needs to have sprawling 'teaching moment'
decimation: that monument was the most pointless waste of real estate on the mall
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Probably the same reason which gives you meatspace colleagues worth refering here
asciilifeform: why i always miss the goodstoff
BingoBoingo: You see outside of the pits that were Tactics and the playstation first person shooter, but Fallout 3 as the worst of the rest of the games had plenty of redeeming lulz in its chosen setting
decimation: if that day comes I claim FDR's head
BingoBoingo: DC wil be worthless, you will have to pick through the boats anchored in the harbor to find refuge
decimation: as Mr. Yarvin says, perhaps one day the mighty Patomack will once again flow unvexed into the Chesapeake
BingoBoingo: No, I wander the "Big Jail" because allegedly people can dump their fucking High School drama on my shit. Also Political speech seems to totally not be legal in IL.
The20YearIRCloud: Not too bad i guess, although you get to enjoy the legal blessings of chicago
BingoBoingo: Where you can't really tell the difference from Benton to Pekin
The20YearIRCloud: you're just referencing the riots?
BingoBoingo: The20YearIRCloud: So Fallout already happened there http://www.thedrinkingrecord.com/2014/08/18/a-crude-map-of-missouri-because-where-is-ferguson-anyway/
The20YearIRCloud: in the middle of literally nowhere
The20YearIRCloud: but the state is severely offset by the idocy in st louis :D
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo yeah but i suspect he likes it in the way of pick up a rifle and form a picket.
The20YearIRCloud: my wife's family is from missouri, i wouldn't mind living out there at all
BingoBoingo: I mean I like parts of illinois, but Missouri is the way to go.
The20YearIRCloud: It's kind of like texas, but we have snow
The20YearIRCloud: I enjoy the state severely, lots of business, but I can also own a machine gun or drive a tank down the highway
The20YearIRCloud: I'm curious what would happen to cities if they do what some counties have done here in Ohio and effectively end police service
BingoBoingo: ANd where are they?
mircea_popescu: just because rural folk are slow doesn't mean they're immune from falling.
The20YearIRCloud: urban areas want to control everything, rural areas typically don't
The20YearIRCloud: it all comes down to dense urban areas vs everyone else
BingoBoingo: The20YearIRCloud: If we go truly paleo Illinois has so much more to sell in... Biodiesel...
mircea_popescu: i will call this variance.
The20YearIRCloud: Florida is also leaps and bounds better than the liberal states, and they're large as well
mircea_popescu: granted, texas is a decent-ish counterexample
mircea_popescu: it's a matter of size not quality. once the pig is ripe, it gets sliced.
The20YearIRCloud: Texas has plenty to be leached and they continue to have a balanced budget and generally more efficient finances
mircea_popescu: illinois is bigger and richer than ohio. so is california. so is ny. that is all.
The20YearIRCloud: Not every state is constantly growing the size of government or increasing efficientcy
mircea_popescu: only because some states have stuff to be leached and some don't.
mircea_popescu: they'll swim if they have to.
mircea_popescu: wherever you houise it, washington or akron, they'll take a bus
mircea_popescu: inasmuch as there's a public treasury somewhere, there's going to be a troop of people forcing it open.
The20YearIRCloud: For state senators, it's based on geographic districts, and the heavily urban areas have limited voting abilities, so here in ohio, 70% of state senators/house members are right/non-left
mircea_popescu: The20YearIRCloud trust me, new gerrymandering would be invented.
mircea_popescu: sure. but if there were no feds, the same money would still be available.
The20YearIRCloud: The difference in most states is that you elect senators on a state-wide level, so it's very easy to stack votes in areas (And I blame it on fraud) leading to very centrist/leftist politicians in washington
BingoBoingo: And it being spent there eases the jobs of the state level comrades
mircea_popescu: the entire "federal funds" thing has nothing to do with anything. they're not "federal" funds in any sense.
The20YearIRCloud: The lima tank plant is prolly the best example of pork military spending out there
The20YearIRCloud: You also have to realize those politcians getting the pork are not the ones who run the state
mircea_popescu: would just move over to ohio state capitol.
mircea_popescu: what i mean is, the porkbarrel leeches that curently push and deform washington
The20YearIRCloud: I'm basing my statement on individual states based on balanced books and economic outlook, i realize that states suck the government teat, however if you look at total federal aid and who it goes to ,the big thing is military aid
mircea_popescu: The20YearIRCloud: left to their own devices, California, Illinois, new york and maryland would implode << exactly. they're also the only three examples where a trickle of leeching happens even with the federal govt (ie, it's where corrupt politicians try to build a career state-level)
BingoBoingo: Missouri goes back to lead mining, Illinois mines coal, Ohio mines butthurt
mircea_popescu: should the teasts move, within a year and a half tops the local states'd be in such a mess you wouldn't believe your eyes.
mircea_popescu: The20YearIRCloud: Most US states are run pretty well, but when you add the federal goverment into it, it becomes a huge mess << this isn't actually true. most of the rent seeking gunk is currently sucking out of washington because that's where the teats are, and so this gives the convincing but ultimately false impression individual states are better run.
mircea_popescu: lol look at that, X-Rob is practically at even within a week.
atcbot: [CoinMiner Hashrate]: 1.71 TH/s [PityThePool Hashrate]: 679.56 GH/s [iSpace Pool Hashrate]: 1.31 TH/s
mircea_popescu: xmj: What would make for a better home base in 2015 or 2016: Luxembourg, Monaco or Jersey/Guernsey? << awful, all of them.
mircea_popescu: from a macro perspective the average state size is so heavily upper bound and so set to drastically decline...
mircea_popescu: youtubetard: more complexity is the nature of all things in the long term. So the rise of many many many micro states is very likely. People see Liechtenstein's success << this is actually a solid point, as unexpected and tenuous as it may seem.
