Squandering an entire companies potential as a PR move for your other company is hardly big brain executive work though. Film executives do that all the time, and they're some of the dumbest people doing supposedly intellectual work.

Paywalled, so I can't actually see that, but if anything the fact that I know my personal bubble leans very left and yet I have never met a single person whose beliefs are that extreme that makes me doubt those numbers. Even the most C

Really depends where you define the starting line. Compare the two starting from birth, and definitely harder in 1905. Compare them as fully qualified individuals ready to apply, probably an edge in 1905.

Believe whatever you want, but that's just not where the shared cultural assumption is anymore. It carries the same weight to someone born after the fall of the USSR as asserting someone must be royalty because of their purple jacket.

Could also be more of an urban/rural divide? I grew up in part of California without a "city bus" for hundreds of miles, and school bus usage was pretty widespread. Parents who dropped their kids off usually just did so becau

You have to actually prove someone is an extremist beyond Communist Party membership. This isn't the 80's, the accepted argument isn't that one proceeds from the other anymore. It's rare that the same organization retain

I believe they are saying the examples largely ring hollow. I've never seen anyone espousing half of these beliefs, and most the rest are very fringe.

Well, given that these are in Walgreens, probably to hide that half the shelves are empty.

They were investing in Theranos right before this, and they're undergoing a massive shrinkage right now. Forgive me if I don't innately trust Walgreen's business savvy at the moment.

At least yours appears to be trying to do something. The Walgreens that have them around here just have the screen on a static display of drinks (about half of which are actually there when you open it.)

The CPUSA and SWP have been pretty irrelevant for the past couple decades. They're being left out because even hardcore leftist just aren't thinking about them at all. Modern leftists aren't flocking around the organizations

Maybe some? But even people who believe outlandish things try and fit them into some rationalized framework. The young earth creationism I'm aware of is big into "disproving" fossil dates and equating dragon myths to human ac

I view the morality around IP law as an implicit contract with society. Actual theft is wrong because I am depriving someone of something without their consent. Pirating is wrong because it disincentives the production of further work. If t

Believing that someone shouldn't do something and that someone shouldn't have the right to do something are not the same thing. GP comment only stated the first and I see no reason to pile on with retorts assuming they really mean
