How many people are at Guantanamo? The answer is about 30 people vs. about a million innocent Uyghurs in Chinese internment camps. All of the things I mention are easily verifiable by credible sources while you are (for some reason) parroti

The US generally imprisons only those people who commit serious crimes. There are likely some biases that result in imperfect application of the law. We’re working on it. China imprisons and enslaves people simply for being members of the “

Or buy a Brother printer. They aren’t without sin, but they make quality printers and don’t pull crap like this.

Do you actually believe this? It sounds like you are consuming far too much anti-American and pro-Chinese propaganda. The Chinese succeeding in their geopolitical goals is the suppression of the individual at scale. Extinguishing of the lig

Of course they did! The CCP requires a back door like this for all businesses operating in China.

What we need is ab unbiased third party to attest to the mental soundness of someone who agrees to sell their home far below market value.

It’s true. It can be dangerous riding a bike on a road meant for cars. Some accidents happen even when the bicyclist or car driver made no obvious mistakes.

Right... But given how quickly our understanding is evolving on how we can create fusion, did it make sense to take on a project this big and settle on a specific design type?

Anarchy? Not sure I follow. I’m simply saying that you need to compromise with me or I’m willing to take action that will hurt both of us.

You don’t have to like your opponent’s strategy, but you also don’t get to decide whether or not they use it. The goal is to cancel BS “inflation reduction act” spending that was approved prior to the House having a Replublican majority. Th

Sure, I agree with you. Let’s make the tax system somewhat more progressive and simpler. But that alone won’t help enough. The issue is the spending associated with and related to the “inflation reduction act”. Spending of this type is most

I dread an actual or “technical” default but I think a line in the sand needs to be drawn. Government freebies and overspending caused incredible harm to the general public as it contributed to inflation over the past few years. Real income

Having watched a short documentary on ITER it seems like an incredible waste. A bunch of mismanagement and bureaucratic nonsense. As an American, it seemed like exactly what we would expect from a Euro-based project. By the time any actual

Who would win: An unarmed populace vs one of the best equipped militaries in the world? Unless you get a bunch of Russian generals to defect, the people don’t stand a chance.

I think that depends on the specific antibiotics used. Not all antibiotics will eliminate all bacteria. Actually, it may be possible to argue that antibiotics make this worse if the antibiotics kill more of other competing bacteria.

Ok, I follow you. But why is that for you to decide?

Check the margins. Tesla actually makes money on EV. Tesla could lower prices to undercut most of their competition and still make money.

Shoehorning racism into every argument has the opposite effect of what you are expecting. Rather than some call to action, people either roll their eyes or tune it out because of overuse. Continued tyranny over the poor by the powerful is t

This is a HUGE leap. You're saying a technology should be banned because there might be some racist landlord who could leverage it to capture minority tenant lease violations? First, we already have systems to deal with this sort of be

There can be good reasons to acquire the commercial property your business utilizes. If you occupy >51% of the space there are SBA loan guarantees which only require 10% down. You can then lease out the remaining space to other tenants.

Right, this is the kind of seductive but ultimately unrealistic kind of thinking that ropes in the vulnerable. Shouldn't people be incentivized to pursue work that they are good at, enjoy AND which society actually demands? If good art
