Politics, Obamacare

[Livi]

Rip,
I'm having a fun time trying to understand your politics.
Mostly I understand that you dislike Obamacare, New Yorkers, and Matt Damon.
And also in discussion of trans women in sports, your vocabulary is surprisingly (and I mean this well but I know most people take this as an insult) politically correct.
Another wrench in my presumptiveness is your criticism of bad coffee and beer, something I would expect from a New Yorker.
Are you a libertarian? Is that why you hate Obamacare?

New Yorkers think they are the only people in the United States that understand coffee, beer, food, wine, literature, film, art, and politics. They share this with the Parisians and the Viennese.

My biggest issue with the New Yarkers is the simultaneous arrogance and helplessness of many of them.

Arrogance is not necessarily bad from highly useful humans.

We have made the same observation many times: absolutely confident while completely devoid of ability.
