Or they have given up on voting for a shit sandwich vs a dirty douche. Either way you vote you lose. This covers a vast group of people in the united states. As George Carlin (loosely) said: If you voted for the people in power, you have no

Ok lets call it a fad like Video Phones in the late 80s and early 90s? This demo was literally "Skype on your face with cartoons". Where was the innovation? Pretty (pre-recorded) backgrounds?

Creditors also get their power from the ability to jail those who do not pay debts (threat of force). These debts are often unknown to the debtors. This is becoming an increasingly large problem in the United States.

Fairly sure that most Americans of Japanese ancestry consider themselves both Japanese and American. Same goes for most other ethnicity. Does that make them any LESS American? Many Puerto Ricans consider themselves both Puerto Rican AND Ame

Yes. I'm sure all of the Germans of Turkish familial origin would agree... They aren't Germans. Even though they were born in Germany and speak German. You can be non-Caucasian and still be German. That is what you were getting at

I get that feeling as well. There seem to be a lot of people responding to these types of articles who have 'stars in their eyes' and think that they'll be able to join the 'old boys club' if they just work hard eno

Identifying the problem is actually pretty easy and you mention it in your first sentence in the parent. It has been going on since at least the Romans. Money begets power, power protects money. There really doesn't seem to be much you

To some extent I agree... but this seems wrong: It's a testament to the strength of our ideals that government agents can tap your phone and hear you say how much you hate them, and yet still not lift a finger against you Parallel Co

Honestly you frequently pay 'more' when you decline services. In my area Comcast at one point was charging more for just internet than it was for Internet+Cable+phone. It seemed that they were just looking to make sure that you we

I remember around the the start of the consumer DSL era this being a thing. At some point the Telcos just started undercutting all the competition and/or deprioritizing installs for non-telco purchasers.

The public gets to vote on these policies? Where and when? And no "the person you vote for does", or any other wording of such, is not a decent response to this for a multitude of reasons.

Totally agreed! With the exception of The Founders there isn't much competition out there besides The Q. But the Federation needs to have LARPers to LARP with the rest of the civs right? :D

Sometimes the crappiest job is being part of Engineering. It could be super fascinating at times... At others you just work the transporter. Google the Chief O'Brien At Work comic series for a laugh.

Great link! One thing that always bothered me about The Federation was how they treated certain worlds and members. Recall the TNG episode Journey's End where the Enterprise is sent to remove what amounted to some 'Space Native Am
