Tim generalizes that culture is now just dissecting the ramblings of elderly officials, jabs at Ruth Bader Ginsburg for not retiring, and predicts most hot-button issues will get kicked down to state ballots and voters sorting themselves by state.
- Tim on culture's obsession with interpreting the musings of elderly people in power, from presidents to Supreme Court justices.
- An old woman manufactures imaginary flags in her head to satisfy herself, like one representing the return of shame to society.
- Ruth Bader Ginsburg could have retired but didn't, allowing a conservative-tilting Supreme Court instead of a democratic one.
- Amy Coney Barrett won't be as conservative as expected because she has 25 African orphan children and already swings left on some issues.
- The Supreme Court will kick cultural hot-button issues down to individual states, where they land on ballots and get decided locally.
- Texas is 103 degrees with swamps for lakes but at least criminals go to jail; California is beautiful but homeless people cut you taking out garbage.
- Life is about tradeoffs—cheap Upstate New York has depressing factories and CVS junkies, or you can jump around dodging problems like he does.
- Marjorie Taylor Greene's husband could affect people's lives in certain ways, but there are usually workarounds for most of these issues anyway.
