    I agree, Ben probably would have indulged and not cared about using it to his advantage.

    Hamilton and Jefferson were absolutely cold blooded in their political pursuits and use of published letters. They would have used any opportunity to cut the other down. Maybe mutually assured destruction would have stayed their hands on that particular indulgence, though Hamilton did famously out his own affair to clear himself of the embezzlement allegation.

    My anecdotal experience.

    I was in SERE school, in the US Navy.

    We were in the field portion of the training, the low mountains of SoCal.

    I would periodically get this weird, almost bitter smell. Fast forward a day and I realized the smell was when there was an ant on me.

    I don’t know if it was a combo of the environment, the type of ant, the lack of food or showering for a few days, but it was pretty reliable.

    After SERE was over, I have never experienced it again.





  • Yeah, IIRC, it was a bearded woodsman holding crossed axes, or something like that. Maybe it was an axe over one shoulder.

    The “Little Canada” is also pretty questionable too.

    North Plainfield is just across a tiny river and North of Plainfield. Plainfield has a very high black population and pretty fucking ghetto, at least on Front through 4th st. (I lived on 4th Street for six months… the first murder of a new year was right on my front lawn. It was a drive by… stabbing. My mom immediately moved us to North Plainfield and just by crossing that little stream, we went from counting crack vials, on the side walk, on my way to school, to manicured lawns and all white neighbors that wave. So North Plainfield was making a comparison of itself to Plainfield as Canada to the U.S…

    I am still not sure how to take that.









  • There should always be a rental market of all sizes.

    I was thinking you should be capped at the number of residential properties you own regardless of size.

    Maybe increase property tax rate of subsequent properties by a multiplier?

    Second property, additional 10%, third property 15%, and so on. Maybe 10, than 20, then 30, etc… Whatever drives down ownership and home costs.
