In order to prevent my p99 personality devolving into:

I decided to lay off Israel a bit.

I think the big issues the right will never solve is baseline healthcare and education. They seem to avidly against it and I'm not sure why. People need baseline housing, education, healthcare, and food in order to thrive.

This isn't the cave days, none of us individually earned everything we enjoy from being part of an advanced industrial economy. Many of the self-identified libertarians here would probably have to admit they benefited from someone else providing these things for them.

Why get so damn self-righteous about other people getting the same? Were supposed to be a meritocracy right? People should have enough -- if the country can afford it -- so that they can't blame their most life circumstances on bad luck.

So that they can take accountability and buy into the America meritocratic myth. A baseline safety net and a better school-to-work pipeline would probably prevent a lot of wasted talent from my perspective.
