As to the points in the article: Correlation does not equal causation. Now to two major points it conveniently left out. - First, the overall labor participation rate is at 40 year lows, so there is no labor shortage. In fact, the rate fo

The real issue is a legal, not financial one. The ACLU fought a long time ago to make it very hard to commit anyone, very hard to give them treatment while committed, very hard to keep them there, etc. No matter how much city/states s

One of the dumbest statements from a very dumb, condescending post. SF is uber progressive. "Ayn Rand followers" are few and far between and, even then, very much in the closet.

Sorry, I can't take this post seriously. Some thoughts without trying to get too political: - I guess he was disappointed by Obama? Join the club. - "I moved to Silicon Valley" No you didn't, you moved to San Francisco

A better recipe is to enforce a culture of actual politeness (not fake tolerance) and not talk about politics or religion at the office.

Well, by preventable, I think I meant something different than you. I meant you could not share needles or you could always use a condom. Sex/needles are what, 99% of transmissions? And yeah condoms break, but if HIV transfer was limi

I love the fervor of the poster as I strongly support the 2nd amendment and find leftist/democrat arguments to be hypocritical... But... I don't see the relevance to HN and if this were a leftist post I'd flag it and I want t

Hmm... I'm surprised by this. At least in the US AIDS is under much more control, is it not? My fiancee treats AIDS/HIV and has never mentioned "resistance" except when referring to antibiotics. This seems more like a

Note that it's also very relevant to comment I replied to. Not being argumentative (or don't mean to be.) I'll admit when I'm wrong, but I feel this comment was relevant to the original comment in the thread and articl

In fact, I probably should have brought up another threat to fair elections, which is the lack of any voter ID requirement. Also very partisan, but essential for security.

Actually, I didn't say financial influence, I said foreign influence and the article refers back to foreign influences in multiple places, just one example below: If foreign governments learn that they can influence our elections

actually, if you read the article and the post, the subject is about foreign influence in elections, so my comment is on point.

And Facebook COO Just endorsed Hillary publicly on FB, the day after WSJ reported that Hillary has taken $48.5 Million from hedgefunds/Wall Street vs $19,000 for Donald Trump. We know who is on the little people's side in this ele

If we care about foreign influence, shouldn't we be concerned about all the foreign money the Clinton's have taken? Millions to their foundation (just while she was SoS): https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics&#x2

Funny that the left all of a sudden cares about security in our elections. Try to implement the most basic security that is common even in poor foreign countries, such as an ID requirement and the left is up in arms. The truth is, the left

Just like government sponsored enterprises (GSE's) made housing more expensive, they are making college tuition more expensive. Left out of the article are probably biggest recipients of the newfound largesse are University administrat

He really lost me with the first two paragraphs... Oh, and the title. The Brexit? Really? He's using the Brexit to launch into a soliloquy on the meaning of life? It's not clear to me that the Brexit had to do with wealth as mu

Uh huh. Funny how a billionaire has so easily convinced you that adding costs to his competitors (and consumers) is really "removing a subsidy".

If he/we really cared about CO2 production and Global warming externalities, we'd put a massive tax on service/product from China or India, whose CO2 production continues to grow: http://blogs.nelson.wisc.edu&#x2

Agreed. It's an argument for indirect subsidies to his company on top of the direct subsidies he already receives. Elon Musk is hardly a libertarian. He's just another crony capitalist.

Because it's a Billionaire shilling for more subsidies, that's how.

It's politicization of the military, as I said in my OP.

You'll need to add some context for the first sentence. Regarding the 2nd sentence, go watch the press conference. Trump doesn't want to be in bed with Russia. "Russia" is being thrown around by the Democrats (in McCart
