I never did that kind of analysis, but the point is largely moot. They are going to get the monies bar some kind of event that completely changes the rules of the game. That said, at certain point, even US government won't be able to b

Have you been to US lately? This is not a rhetorical point. If you typed those words and I am expected to take those at face value, I have to assume that you have not seen the rabid mobs calling for not allowing X to speak/present/

Honestly, more than the click-baity title, I was more amused by the subtle demand for even more subsidies ( that after putting US through offshoring, nearshoring and now taxpayer sponsored reshoring ): "Barrett also said Washington mus

You know, this is actually an interesting approach, but I will wait to see how you are going to respond to what I am about to say. Chomsky sometimes argued that you simply do not get to certain levels of corporate media unless you are alrea

I go where the argument takes me. Is it my fault that OP did not actually check the background of the person they were defending on ( apparently based on this fact alone ) purely political grounds? No, how dare I actually read the article a

Friend. After one of the more recent bigger political event in US, which, in more sane times, would have made most people pause, I asked people from 'the other side', if they would be willing to reconsider their current stance on

I find it interesting. Basic google check suggests that Ben-Ghiat is a political commentator. If that is true and accurate then her presence and presentation at Naval Academy is at best an opinion and not strictly a 'lecture'. I h

You are only technically correct. And even then, in terms of civics, by having people held criminally liable government is telling you what to do ( or technically not do ). Note that no other body can ( legally ) do it. In fact, false impri

Sadly, this is not what is happening. Based on the article ( and personal experience ), it is clear that we tend to happily accept computer output as a pronouncement from the oracle itself. It is new tech, but people do not treat it as such
