Investement stimulates economic activity. As a super simple example, it can make it possible to start a business without already having the necessary capital. The alternative to investing money is simply hoarding it, which benefits no one but the person who has it. Money really only exists when it is in motion, and investment keeps it in motion. I'm sorry the world isn't as simple as you would like it to be.

It's really not that hard to understand. Tax policy has multiple goals, and revenue is the only simple one. The big one is incentivizing beneficial behaviors like investment.

What the fuck is going on in this comment?

Seriously, as a man the only context I would ask for contact information on first meeting is a bar. Super weird to do it anywhere else, you'll either see them around again or you won't.

Awards shows are just industry insiders self-felating, they are useless as markers of actual success.

I'm not saying it's a bad album. I'm saying it got a bunch of votes that weren't seriously considered.

Sure. But that's because most Recording Academy members don't care about Bluegrass, but they do know who Steve Martin is. It's not like they have a limited number of votes to distribute, they can vote in every category whether they know anything about it (or have even listened to the nominees) or not. Steve Martin's album didn't win the Grammy, his name did.

Same reason Jethro Tull won the first (and technically only) Grammy for best Hard Rock/Metal performance.

If I played any hip-hop on YouTube at all, didn't matter if it was the fucking Sugarhill Gang, This is America would play next for a few months.

Pablo Picasso died in 1973.

Fuck off. It's the responsibility of the individual not to be an asshole.

What'd they say?

He guest starred on Justified after they had a character shit-talk his sister by saying she looked too much like him.
