That is a useless statement unless they followed the rejected candidates for a few more years at least . Otherwise it's just a tautology: They suck because my favorite test says so (i.e. because I say so). Sure it weeds out "no

National debt? Really? You know that the modern money system IS debt? No debt - no money. And no, debt does NOT have to be paid back. It can be rolled over indefinitely, or, if demands on "payments" really are an issue just go ban

We have unlimited money. But only when banks or the defense sector needed it. That's not a rant, that's an observation. Think about it: Do we really, in the US of A or anywhere in the 1st world countries, have a lack of resources?

The "salient point" as you put it suffers from a huge acute case of selection bias and survivorship bias, two deadly diseases that kill the argument immediately after it's born.

Just like with the vast majority of project forecasts the "few days" is what you say to get the sale - internally or to outside clients. If you think it is that simple, well, I would like to sell you just a few days of machine l
