Trumpers still give me the ick. as do folks who sit on the fence and allow our country to be hijacked by ignorant racist fascist jerks.

These days a fence sitter can just mean apathetic slugs who pay more attention to prices of new iphones and tiktok than current events IMO . Icky people indeed

How about paying attention to prices of cams?

Locked threads by moderators are pretty lame most of the time, but far worse is someone starting a thread, seeing it go against his/her plans, and then locking it. That's some seriously cowardly bullshit.

Funny thing about The Market. Even when it is run badly, when the Collectivists hold the means of production, it still can function and create value. The thing is, the Market is at its very best when Laissez-faire adherents hold the reins thus creating a truly liberating environment for human ingenuity to flourish 

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
