Wow, The Far Side really brings back some cherished childhood memories. Larson is, IMO, one of the best to ever do it. His humor is really unique, and he's quite a thoughtful person as well, letting his work speak for itself. A relic

And this is the crux of the matter, and why I feel young people are becoming increasingly nihilistic. They are realizing that they are increasingly powerless and unable to drive change. There are major problems out there in the world, and

That would be quite sad. If we let a person amass a trillion dollars, we should honestly have a hard conversation about wealth redistribution. There's quite a lot of people on this board who would probably quit their jobs and live a li

I see your point - and i don't disagree, and my overall point is that mergers and all that aren't bad, but when you agree to effectively allow companies to M&A their way to a monopoly, it is imperative for industry safety that

Exactly! People want Green energy resources to be slashed? I'm all for it, once we spend roughly the same amount of time and money we've dedicated to developing oil. Between wars to secure oil, excessive industry tax breaks, etc,
