Without statutory protection it's a race to the bottom. We can't expect everyone to just duke it out in the courts to sort everything out. Clearly that gives yet another advantage to big pocketed corporations. But it seems the US

What is a white nationalist? Is it just a nationalist who happens to be white? Is nationalist on its own supposed to be a negative descriptor? If so then it follows that logically internationalists are the preferred people by default? Also

Annoying that I probably have to switch back to Windows just a few years after switching to Mac. Most Windows laptops are awful these days. When my MacBook dies, I'll probably build a desktop PC and pair with either a Chromebook or Sur

Look at Germany, rather than throw their manufacturing sector under the bus in favor of financial engineering and management consulting, they continuously upgrade their manufacturing culture. So maybe they don't make shoes there but th

This is just one of those myths that gets bandied all around the web. It's a reserve currency because it's a huge balanced economy, and the dollars are freely floated and available. And it's not exactly proven that a strong d
