It doesn't violate DRY. The repetition of "collection" is indicating a descendent component: https://github.com/suitcss/suit/blob/master/doc/naming-conve...

I would love to force people to pay for things I love to do. There's nothing wrong with teaching philosophy, but stealing money to do so is wrong and lazy. What if I'd rather my money go toward cancer research? This guy would deny

eBay has other restrictions, though. For example, there are caps to how much you can sell when you start out. I think these companies should be allowed to set these types of restrictions to protect consumers. eBay doesn't set prices be

I love how lawyers and the gov assume what my preferences are and what's best for me. I work as an independent contractor and I don't want any benefits from the company I'm providing services. I want to provide my services an

No thanks. I would like the freedom to choose where my money goes and not be forced by government or people lobbying government to allocate other people's hard-earned money to subsidize their preferences. Being able to withdraw money f

I think we need more power than voting. If we had more control over funding, gov wouldn't be able to be as brazen with some of its actions. We wouldn't have nearly as much war, for example. Not many would fund it. They would rathe

Your comment is hyperbolic and race baiting. That this new service solves a problem or adds anything of value is up to the consumer. Maybe there are certain amenities that people want and will pay extra for. There's nothing wrong with

At least those inefficient companies could be disrupted by startups, and at least they don't get to take my money by force (apart from subsidies and bailouts). No such mechanism exists for government. That people suck at running things

What does that say about the government then? They are complicit. The government is accepting money to make people's lives harder.

Wouldn't you, if that were your business model? Let's blame TurboTax when it's legislators selling their power. They could, you know, be representatives of the people and not be influenced by TurboTax. Plus, that article talk

Governments have the means to escalate situations to Moby Dick levels of megalomania, especially when it's other people's money funding it. Until we have the power to withdraw funding from crap like this -- much more powerful than

This is irrational. If self-driving cars are overall safer than their human counterparts, why wouldn't we allow a mix? I mean, we don't ban human drivers because of all the accidents and deaths caused of human errors, so why would

Well, what's happened in the past? Many jobs have been displaced. I don't remember any disasters because of it. 10 million jobs won't be lost instantaneously; you're being melodramatic. This will be a gradual process, al

I would argue that there should be no drug prohibition to begin with since it's all non-violent transactions among consenting people, but that aside, I would rather the crack dealer keep his spoils (which he didn't steal, unlike t

Or maybe both are wasteful spending--did you consider that? The proposal will cost much more than $60 billion. Why believe otherwise? How much was the Iraq war supposed to cost? This is just a feel-good initiative, and it worries me that no

Instead of 2 more years of "free" education, why not ask how we can add more value to the last 2 years of high school, so that people graduate with job skills? This is just an attempt to buy votes, and funnel more money into gov.

You're making a false equivalency between the State and other market actors. You may not be using the US government's services, but you're probably using your own government's. Forcing a service on people (say the War on

Taxation might not fit the strict definition of theft (easy when the gov creates its own jargon), but it is the threat of force to take property from someone against their will. I mean, how many of us are giving money directly to the gov by

I totally agree. I spent about 6 hours today trying to sort through federal, state, AND city forms--3 levels of hell, really, with city being the worst. For city, I was denied the ability to e-file after going through a long sign-up process

I used to think chiropractors were charlatans, but in desperation I saw one for TMJ, vertigo, and tinnitus, and within 4 sessions of targeted treatment, I haven't felt this good in about 6 years. The TMJ is gone and the tinnitus has su
