I'd imagine that there are many, more clandestine versions of this.

Might be a lawsuit, if there is a pattern. But the statue wont stop anyone from choosing who they allow on their premises nor change their rights.

You can toss anyone for any reason. However, like many things, there are legal consequences. And if you do it based on discrimination you will certainly face charges, but you still have the right to remove people from your property at any m

You dont seem to understand the difference between discrimination and a difference of views. Unless you feel that being a "insert political party here" is a protected class...

A well mixed cesspool? No one with any sense wants to hang out in a cesspool. That's the problem. You are expecting human behavior to change. And worse, on the internet none the less.

Wow. You went off the cliff. Paring racial discrimination with a difference of views is asinine. And yes, you can choose to serve anyone individual, you cannot globally discriminate. Get the difference?

You can be kicked out of any place of business for any reason... The web is no different.

Balance? How do you balance what is essentially a cesspool. The Internet, and specifically 'social media', always ends up at the lowest common denominator.

How perverted. They claim that the entity has a right to free speech? And worse, that somehow that entitles them to do as they please? Is Alan Dershowitz behind this?

I am not even thinking it should be clandestine. You could literally set up kiosks outside of voting areas and as people come out, and they show you their ballet stub, you give them a gift card. The volume of young people,minorities and poo

I wonder if the entire race could be won by offering an incentive of sorts. Say a $50 Amazon gift card for every (new) voter who sends a pic of their vote receipt or something... Granted its a lot of money, but so is gifting billions to the

Healthy? No. But its as American as apple pie. Everything these days,in America is based on money. The entire political process is based on money (fundraising determines whether you're even on the ballot or a debate or able to be on a

If outside in success is what is being measured as succcess (money, nice things, big house(s), etc.), than my experience is that its almost always luck that got someone those things at a young age or without a lot of risk. Getting hired at

The other aspects of prices is the replacement cost for an existing or the build cost for new. Its a min of $500 a sqft to build in CA these days. Double and triple that for a high end home. Building codes, permits, zoning, materials and la

As the web contracts, becomes more silo'd and locked behind paywalls and app gardens, the volume of searchable data is also retracting. Add in that most of Google's users never go past the first page, or the 6th result, and I thin

Attention is the currency of media. Modern, mainstream "news" programs are not journalism per se, they are just conduits for advertising dollars. The sad part is that concocting sensationalism is extremely profitable, especially p

Yamaha (as well as others) have wireless functionality and, most importantly, sync capability.

I am with you on this 100%. Did the same thing in my home remodel. Investing in any proprietary hardware universe has proven to be a fools errand. As the standards change, I can still listen to music via any system, service or format. And b

True. The media amplifies Twitter to the point of relevance. Its actually used by a very small percentage of the population - with any frequency. But every "news" outlet relies on it for "BREAKING NEWS". Taking what is n

Great points. #2 is spot on. I think we ended up here because of the currency of media is attention. Sensationalism,(especially conflict as you noted) draws humans in like moths to a flame.

I can only assume you are talking about hard asset based debt... What if there is no collateral, or hard assets? Like the majority of consumer debt? Or corporate debt?

Yes, that was my point. The market investments are not what is driving the pension's long term value. The underwriting by the state is what makes it valuable. The markets are simply an avenue for growth, or as was the case in the past,

One thing to consider is that the price of the markets are based on holders NOT selling. Its fundamentally impossible for the majority of holders to actually hold the wealth if the majority of holders sold their stock. Kind of a conundrum i

It is exactly what we're seeing. They have been trusting the Man on the TV/Radio for so long, they trust him when he tells them that THE OTHER guys are lying to you... Funny how that works.

FYI - California teachers do not pay into SocialSecurity. Their pension is 100% on the backs of the tax payers of CA. Market performance is irrelevant as their pensions are paid regardless of performance.

Worse, many of those with pensions find themselves one day without one... Look at the hundreds of bankrupt orgs that have somehow, been able to simply walk away from their obligations. The only people who hold pensions these days are govt w

Older Americans come from a time when the Man on the TV or Radio spoke the truth, with honor and integrity and did so citing facts and experts. They still hold onto this ethos and therefore believe - like they believe a preacher, that the w
