I was just correcting your misusage of the term. Everything else you've said has come from you projecting your beliefs onto the discussion. I also think your perception of social aid in some other countries is wildly distorted. These b

I answered a single question, I did not endorse anti-competative practices across the board. In this particular case, they built it therfore they should be able to choose how to distribute it and establish privacy standards as they wish.

Response to the edit: Yeah that sucks, but your experience doesn't define the broader landscape. I had a sister with cancer, and we were very, very poor when she was diagnosed. She still managed to get treatment and make a full recover

Yes. They should.

By no means are 18.1% of the population living in "abject" poverty. They're living in what the US government classifies as poverty, but in the majority of these cases they still have a home, have food, have electricity, etc.

Yeah you're gonna need to back this one up chief. Not sure about you but I'd rather be living in a 1 bedroom apartment with modern appliances, internet, smartphone, and a laptop than I would in a 8000sqft that had none of these th

I mean I'm not saying they're right, but it's really only this one election they're claiming is fraudulent. Not "any election we don't win" as you stated.

Why not?

Yes as it happens statistics are more accurate than anecdotes, especially if they're well documented and proven like this one. Cancer isn't trivial to treat, people are going to die from it. Just, less people in America compared t

I didn't say it was impossible, just very difficult.

What on earth are you on about? The US has the highest rates of cancer survival in the world.

Why is it unrealistic to expect a single doctor to have mastery in every medical specialty? Why is it unrealistic to expect a school teacher to be able to teach every single subject? Because in these fields, along with software development,

I obviously wasn't saying the only prejudice in the world exists against lazy people and that no other group of people were ever looked down upon. You've got to use context clues before getting all fired up like this. The was in r

That's not relevant to the discussion, if you have something you want to say then just say it. Don't try to ask me a question you think you know the answer to and then tell me my answer precludes me from having an opinion on the s

This assumes the construction of these 50-100 year buildings were evenly distributed over a given time. If 90% of a towns or cities 100 year infrastructure if built in a decade, then it'll just lead to a lot of replacements starting in

Debt is just a product of consumption.

I guess that depends on how you define value. Tobacco, while unhealthy, can have great value to the user. Those addictive apps provide a low cost leisure activity for millions of people. We all benefit from advances in food sciences every d

Plenty of people pay for art and music. I didn't say they weren't valuable, I said what you're trying to offer specifically may not be valuable. I know you think it's some incredible service that everybody wants, but hav

Has it occurred to you that the lack of people willing to pay for what you're trying to offer may be indicative that it's not quite as valuable as you perceive it to be? I don't think it's work specifically that's t

They are definitely crummy. Communism isn't a new idea. It's a very old, very bad idea that's repeatedly failed.

We work more in large part because we consume much more. Increased consumption requires increased supply which requires increased production which means more work to be done.

Looks like we're at an impasse as we just fundamentally disagree. Indiscriminate should be federally legal and fortunately is in many states. I believe he every bit has the moral right to fire indiscriminately and burn his company to t

I agree once over 50% ownership has transferred you lose the moral right to destroy it. I should have clarified and said the one creates and owns, or even just owns really. I disagree with the other assertion that you lose the moral right t

How does one create a thing and then lose the moral right to destroy said thing? That's not something I think you'll be able to justify to me. Just because it's destruction may hinder other people doesn't mean that it is

Okay but at the highest level, who directs that work? Who decides what needs doing and how to allocate that human capital? Who's mind is directly responsible for the creation and orchestration of SpaceX? Labor means nothing if not done
