What does this have to do with software development or startups?

  Make a high-speed train startup?

  You're supposed to just flag it and move on. To another site that takes banishing politics discussions seriously?

    "Economics of the Laffer curve and how it relates to taxation" -> flagged "Obama adminstration installs Apache servers" or some such -> not flagged That's what I love so much about standards. Everybody has them.

      I flag pretty much everything that even remotely smacks of politics, and most economics, no matter which side it comes from or how much I agree with it.

        I know you do. I've been watching. I just enjoy watching the double-standards people employ. For example, in this discussion I'd love to see somebody bring up the point that passenger rail in the U.S. is a political idea and not a practical business idea -- take a look at Amtrak pricing. But by actually diving into the business side of the article, they'd call the resulting discussion political! I think "political" just means "stuff I don't agree with that has some sort of tangential relation to politics"
