Some of us work in tech and have skin colors that are similar to the person in question, and are deciding on the level of risk we are willing to take. That this is not obvious to you is a clear indication of the fact that this isn’t somethi

Hayek, of “Road to Serfdom” fame believed that the government should provide universal healthcare. That said, the only trick in the history of the human experience that consistently improves the lot of a society is taking a portion of the p

Not the governments job to address exogenous threats that could negatively impact the health and wellbeing of every American? Are you saying the government shouldn’t have a military either? What, pray tell, is the governments job? By the by

YC and PG think they are going to be able to escape the worst of what is to come by appeasing the far right in advance. Narrator: they were horribly wrong.
