Not really a competition. I'd be perfectly happy for him to beat me to the punch on all of these. We probably just both subscribe to the newsletter, so we see the same articles.
I like it too. I used to write more of my thoughts, but most of the time no one commented on them. Or, if they did, they clearly hadn't read the article.
I got in the habit of waiting for people (usually you) to comment on the article and then talk about whatever they found interesting.
I grew up with this kind of thinking, so it is nice to discuss it outside of my family.
People just dont want to use their mind for critical thinking anymore.
So when you find someone, its just nice!
But my thoughts are a bit harsh, some would even say l lack empathy.
Fiduciary money collected from taxes and everything that can be taken from the common citizen is used to finance wars, buy weapons, which has always brought death, desolation and no progress to nations.
