I could've sworn Joe Biden said he wouldn't pack the court dozens of times while campaigning. Who could've seen this coming?

Joe Biden is a Congressman?

The fact that you had to clarify that 1 troy ounce = 1.1~~ generic ounces, while purposely measuring feathers in generic ounces proves that you're trying to troll or misdirect.

Notice how in supermarkets, the packaging for liquid products show FLUID ounces, and not generic ounces.

OP should've stated--

What weighs more, an ounce of feathers, or a troy ounce of silver?

Didn't have to, silver, when measured in ounces, is in troy ounces.

Then OP should've converted feathers into troy ounces. By referring feathers and silver using the same terminology, OP implies that the normal ounce terminology for both.

Precious metals are measured in troy ounces. If you buy a 1 oz silver coin you are getting 31.1 grams. If you buy an ounce of feathers you are getting 28.35 grams.

1 troy ounce = 1.097 avdp ounces

OP didn't say anything about troy ounces.

I think calling those things socialism is disingenuous considering these things existed pre-socialism and are necessary for the existence of a nation.

I agree, and that also applies to elements of capitalism.

No, because socialists and capitalists have different views on who owns the means of production.

Well, both socialists and some capitalists agree that the government should own some portion of the means for producing national security and policing, correct?

No. What you're describing is a hyper competitive Robocop dystopia where corporations control everything. Nobody really wants that.

That's what capitalism, in it fullest form, would probably want, though.

Not everyone who supports capitalism supports laissez-faire capitalism.

Well in that case, most capitalists support some kind of socialism as well, then?

As not everyone who supports socialism supports complete state-owned collective socialism.
So basically 99% of capitalists, and 99% of socialists simply believe in a mixed economy.

So no set borders. As market fluctuates constantly, then borders would constantly fluctuate on a daily basis, making them obsolete.

Even in a world with no federal taxes there's probably going to end up being a military and border security, it'll just be privatized.

I think pizza is a great food. But its really easy to make bad pizza, and for various reasons if I want pizza I wont make it myself, I definitely wont get it from a national chain like Dominos, I will only get it from a local restaurant. Does that mean I dont actually like pizza?

You're comparing a generic food that can be served by millions of different actors.

I am referring to pure capitalism in its final form, as described by those who claim that the best market is an un-regulated one.

There is no "end goal." Capitalism is letting people own stuff instead of just the government.

As such, the end result will be open borders and no state militaries.

Not everyone who supports capitalism supports unfettered libertarian-style capitalism.

Mixed economy is not really genuine capitalism then, no? Capitalism with restrictions is, at the very least, an admission that capitalism is flawed.

A true 'libertarian' free market would want zero taxes, and zero government to enforce any laws. That would mean borders would have no practical meaning, as trade would occur on an individual level instead of collectively via the state. National militaries would give way to private or volunteer militias, and as national culture waned, we'd see the end of patriotism on the state level.

As someone who believes in true capitalism, is this what you want ?

Charlene Jimenez, director of entertainment partnerships and advocacy for the nonprofit Define American, described this year's Golden Globes nominations as part of a "pattern of erasure" as she recently called for a review of the language requirement. "More than 350 languages are spoken in American homes today. So what does 'foreign' language mean?" Jimenez told CNN. "It's a really important time for us as an American society to be investigating our own prejudice about films like this, about stories like this, about immigrant stories -- what does and does not resonate as 'American' to people."

The United States has no official language. And more than 20% of the US population age 5 and over speaks a language other than English at home, according to census data.
If the Golden Globes' rules don't change with the times, there could be consequences beyond the big screen, says William Yu, a screenwriter and activist who's been a vocal critic of whitewashing in Hollywood.

"It has industry-shifting implications over who gets acknowledged and who doesn't," he says. "It can have an outsized impact on the trajectory of their career."
And important stories could go unrecognized -- and unseen. "The HFPA probably is erasing a good chunk of immigrant stories that are going to come from communities that are marginalized. As these communities mature and look to tell their own stories, it's not always going to be in English," he says. "And to be told that if your movie isn't 50% in English in order to be considered for best picture, then you will never be enough -- there's a certain kind of implied inferiority when you can be considered for best foreign language film but not the best film."

One chart presented at the meeting shows Texas was less than five minutes away from a blackout that might have crippled the power system for weeks or months.

Magness expressed frustration at the meeting about how long it took to bring some power plants back online. The graphs shared Wednesday showed for days many were not able to re-start and that's what turned this into such a devastating crisis with lives lost and homes damaged.
