I guess if I was one to anthropomorphize my food, I'd agree.

If your teeth are like mine, then they are sharp at the front, designed for the cutting and tearing of flesh. Industrial farming is about as humane as any other method for killing I've seen/practiced. People argue that hunting kee

If I removed every airline that sucked from my flight results, I'd be driving to Paris. I hope this reaction keeps going because I'm gonna load up on United stock. In 6 months, all these noise makers will be gone and we'll al

I don't know anything about the value of this crap, but I do find it interesting to grep through looking at the IPs (which I presume are compromised machines from which they are initiating attacks). See `./bin/pyside/tar

This doesn't strike me as having anything to do with data volume. This is much more about exploiting cognitive biases. This is not a new thing. If anything, the subject is a classic one.

A group should not be able to exclude the individual if he/she doesn't want to be part of the union. Period.

Are we close to peak bullshit for this cycle? I've about had enough.

Only bank I know of with really risky auto practice is perhaps Santander. The world will keep turning.

While I'm not a fan of a looming crisis, I don't see enough critical mass to this space to have a lot of concern for macro impact. It is also worth realizing that while the great recession trained us to be scared of news like this

Maybe? I wouldn't want to live in those states and I think that would be pervasive. Ultimately, economics would drive progress. All conjecture. If only social science was a real science and we could do independent trials.

In practical terms, unions can't survive without destroying individual freedom. So they are bad.

by fixxer 10y ago
Compelling an individual to support a group runs against the concept of individual freedom. I support the right to form a union and the right to not join one. I do not support the right to require an individual to join. I support the indivi

I said I'm not against them. I never said I was for them either.

No, you're missing the point. The issue is individual freedoms. You're talking about the benefits of collective bargaining and calling that freedom. It is in no way the same thing. I think the free rider problem you allude to is a

I think trade unions are fine. The issue I have with unions relates to public sector unions like AFSCME that are able to have representation on both sides of the negotiating table. Libertarians (of which I am not) are not against unions, th

Yeah, no issue with gay marriage in my view. The issue is where the decision needs to be rendered. I argue Federal rulings on X create a premise for rulings on Y and while you might really like the idea of X, it doesn't really matter t

Translation: you've been there zero times and only know what you've read from your Progressive news sources and Michael fucking Moore. I went both times as part of a humanitarian mission to bring medical supplies. Cuba sucks. Grea

You do a lot of virtue signaling in your commentary and presume to speak for "the masses". It is... amusing. I get that you have an opinion and it is fairly orthogonal to mine. Your opinion doesn't offend me or make me feel t

My friends who went to the March still have no idea what they were _not_ protesting. Saul Alinsky would be mortified to see how unfocused activism is today.

White nationalism doesn't exist. This is just a label invented to explain why the Democrats have lost influence among middle-class America in places like Wisconsin, Indiana, Iowa... The left, however, is a real thing. When I worked wit

If anything, they'll push it back to the states to decide. I put zero probability of a Federal ban on marriage equality. My friends on the left always push for universal, top down rulings on social issues. In reality, there are really

Libertarians also have a lot of internal divisions. Noam Chomsky, for example, is a "libertarian socialist" and gets along as well with the Cato Institute as a Trump supporter at a BLM rally.

Now we're making progress: I don't. Over the last couple years, I've started mentally putting a "P(BULLSHIT)" next to every source I read. The estimate keeps growing. While you might want to make this an ad hominem

Yep. It suggests bias in the methods used to collect and publish data. This is perfectly rational. Do you trust political polling from pollsters with party affiliation? I hope not.
