Etiquette



DP Etiquette

First rule: Don't be a jackass.

Other rules: Do not attack or insult people you disagree with. Engage with facts, logic and beliefs. Out of respect for others, please provide some sources for the facts and truths you rely on if you are asked for that. If emotion is getting out of hand, get it back in hand. To limit dehumanizing people, don't call people or whole groups of people disrespectful names, e.g., stupid, dumb or liar. Insulting people is counterproductive to rational discussion. Insult makes people angry and defensive. All points of view are welcome, right, center, left and elsewhere. Just disagree, but don't be belligerent or reject inconvenient facts, truths or defensible reasoning.

For the People Act

One of my U.S. Senators, Republican Rob Portman, thinks we cannot afford a $3.5 trillion human infrastructure investment.  From Twitter:

Democrats' $3.5 trillion tax and spending bill will send inflation soaring, raise taxes on American families, and undermine economic growth for years to come.  More in my op-ed for the Dispatch Alerts

Michael Moore thinks otherwise (view time 6:38):

Portman’s claim is another example of what I call Capitalism Gone Awry: a perverted viewing of Capitalism as a personal big money maker, the greater society be damned, rather than an engine that drives a free economy to prosperity for virtually all, not just the few "already haves."

So, who is right?  Moore or Portman?  Make your case.
