The lesson is that you can't just ignore politics. You can't just leave politics to the politicians. The same people who bitch about the government typically refuse to take control of the government. Democracy is bullshit and it's time for

Thanks for your comment. One thing I take away from what you said is that the solution to problems like this is BETTER government, not ZERO government. All the libertarians want to use any government problem as an excuse to just scrap the w

"Justify"? WTF? On what moral basis are you condemning Apple? Is this Aristotelian ethics? Medieval European ethics? Kantian deontology? I'm a modern consequentialist. I don't give a shit about "justification". Apple gets away with it becau

Other companies are just as bad or worse, so consumers have no choice. Apple gets good will because at least the product is good, even though you spend twice as much. Nothing is worse than buying something and being disappointed. People wou

"become" ? 4 years ago, stupid comments were brutally discouraged. People with stupid things to say would be dogpiled by negative comments. It is pop culture that thinks asking stupid questions is a virtue. Most people are just too tactful

The take away here is that you should always lie or people will get pissed. The truth is "fuck you guys" but the best answer is, "excuse me" followed by "something came up I have to leave" followed by later saying "thanks for theopportunity

Your description is accurate but the advice to go local is usually not given that way, it's usually given as a slogan. I've actually never heard anyone say "The advice to go local is less about it being a guaranteed win and more about it be

Do you have trouble understanding that other people have different opinions than you? I'm fully aware that I'm a statist. You think I don't know this? To say that statism is philosophically indefensible is complete bullshit. Tons of philoso
