Sometimes a company has matured, where it's captured most of it's market and it's been around so long that it's not very innovative. A company can be good at just "doing it's thing", and that's okay.

That's a mischaracterization of his argument. He's saying that a lower corporate tax rate would help grow companies, and the economy as a whole. We would continue to pay income and payroll taxes (which are the main source of tax i

Well, first of all, you need to somehow administer the LSD dose. From a tactical perspective, the coffee makes sense. Second of all LSD, has a bit of a stimulant "excitable" effect. So you might want to give them Decaf to compensa

Right. But if you don't join, you still have to pay union dues, right? That requirement kind of blurs things in my mind.

Yup :) By the way, the all-caps in your message makes your post kind of confusing, and it almost sounds sarcastic? I'm just letting you know in case English isn't your first language. :)

Yeah the sea surface is a glacier. There might be air pockets though? But it would also be near-freezing there, whereas the core would be much warmer, and would also have more pressure.

So-- there are caveats. A lot of deep sea life are able to see, and it's because deep sea life also generates their own light. It's a way to communicate to mates, and a way to notice prey, and a way to bait smaller predators. I al

You might enjoy "The Vital Question", it dives deeper into abiogenesis and gives a really good theory. (Hint: why rely on meteors when alkaline deep-sea vents solve the energetic needs of a proto-life?) Here is Bill Gates'

So I mean, this is just a metadata tag. Anyone can make one. I'm looking forward to Breitbart & HuffPo abusing this... I think it would be interesting to collect a list of websites that disagree on a claim review.

Hah, I like it. I do the same thing in games like "The Resistance". I look people in the eye and ask them: "are you the spy?" It's not fool-proof, but at the very least it takes attention off of me.

My main objection to unions is that, once they're in a company, employees lose the right to negotiate their own compensation. I want to be able to skip my union dues and deal directly with the company. OR I want to be able to make a un

It still seems like one of those "good problems". Hotels and guides will be able to charge more. Government should definitely look at park fees based on usage and investing in infrastructure.
