Libertarian doesn't believe in the social contract. What a surprise.
social contract noun an implicit agreement among the members of a society to cooperate for social benefits, for example by sacrificing some individual freedom for state protection. Theories of a social contract became popular in the 16th, 17th, and 18th centuries among theorists such as Thomas Hobbes, John Locke, and Jean-Jacques Rousseau, as a means of explaining the origin of government and the obligations of subjects.

I was on a work call today. The person mentioned a minor policy change that was on the website but hadn't been announced yet. I literally started crying because I couldn't cope with even that little thing on top of everything else today. And they totally understood.

Fuuuuuuuuck DeSantis. Also, "we prepped to ensure our vehicles are okay, but them juvvie kids can drown for all we care" is extra scummy.

No, it absolutely does NOT "depend on how we define a millionaire" when having a million U.S. dollars in your pocket means you are NOT POOR. Simply lacking passive income doesn't mean you aren't wealthy, FFS. Why do Economists always disregard the actual context of reality?
Dictionary definition of "poor": 1. lacking sufficient money to live at a standard considered comfortable of normal in a society.

Sure, if the "things" we're talking about are, say, cilantro in rice, prioritizing tax spending on parks over sidewalks, or enjoying summer heat versus winter snow. Not when the "things" involve objectively observable facts, harmful behaviors, or the humanity of others.

I'd probably go with:
Tweet by @disco_socialist reading "It's easy to think of Ayn Rand as a terrible person with an evil philosophy, but if you've ever read her books you'd know she was also a terrible writer."
