Seems like a run of the mill liberal whose information about "the left" comes from far right talking points:

But there is a problem with the way in which discussion about family values and having babies is split into two extreme camps – the trad-wife Right and the “abolish the family” Left. For any young couple starting out, the choices seem to be to either raise your non-binary child in defiance of the nuclear family, or to go full homestead and demand that your wife wear gingham and churn her own butter amongst a multitude of children.

Like, what the fuck is this shit?

The discussion about "family values" might seem like this if you only listen to what conservatives are claiming about what "the left" wants.

the administration has left the federal government with no way of understanding if policies are working

That's a feature, not a bug: the entire point is to make it very hard to see the effects of the regime's policies, so that they can just claim everything is working as intended and the rest of the world won't be able to verify it.

Russia has been doing the same for years (well, decades really). They fixed their HIV epidemic by stopping the collection of data on infections

edit: ah, and the article says as much. That'll teach me to comment before reading

Is there a yoga community? They might be into this sort of stuff too

Different use cases

Like every conservative, he just hates that people have empathy for anybody but them

The USA has the best judicial system money can buy

Yeah a friend of mine accidentally walked into the crossfire of what turned out to be a nearly 10-year-long beef between two badly medicated bipolar people that had reached some pretty fantastic and frankly scary proportions. Stalking and harrassing the shit out of each other, or the other's employers, friends, acquaintances, random people who just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time, etc. etc. Justice system's been involved multiple times.

Unrelated but:

ex top-tech employee who is incredibly happier now that I left

As another recovering IT professional: ain't nothing incredible about that.

I'd rather starve than work in IT again.

This is what happens when we let conservatives have any sort of power in society

Ah, an Escherhund

And a respectable fraction of him
