I don't know who you're talking about, but I am a Turkish citizen who supports Erdogan. I am not getting paid by him, his party, or anyone else for saying what I say. So what motivates me to make comments whenever I see a post lik

Nobody uses SteamOS or Linux for gaming. It baffles me that people like you go to such lengths to push Linux for Desktop... I tried using Linux on several occassions over the last 10-15 years. It was never easy or fun. All the GUIs felt lik

Its still obviously stupid. The difference this time is there is a new niche that places like Whole Foods serve. They're not in the 'food' business so much as the 'whole food / wellness' business. These people

Do you know why manufacturing left America? It has nothing to do with costs. It has everything to do with regulations and attitudes. If you want a manufacturing industry, workers WILL get killed on site. Workers WILL get cancer from dangero

>The US is a large country with lots of empty space in it. Yea, and so are Russia and China. The problem is the US chooses to hose its taxpayers by subsidizing rural living. Just as an example, if we had Japan/Korea's urbanizat

The article sites a 1 bedroom, 900 sqft aprt with stacked washer/dryer and new appliances for $2100. Is that expensive? I live in a 988 sqft, 1bedroom apt with washer/dryer with 2 roommates. We pay around that amount. I consider m
