That's why we have money - so people can say things like "No it isn't, because if it were people would have given you billions for it."

>Yes. I purchased several of their products... Which is "no". Buying and building are two different things. So I guess you were right about what I intended.

Sadly, while Murdock's people made the WSJ less of a quality paper, it's one of the few that still makes money, and that probably wouldn't have been the case without the changes.

I'm not sure if that was the goal, but I think that's the way it's going to play out.

If you do the orbital math you realize there's no advantage to putting weapons on the moon. If there was, 50 years after we acquired the capability to get there it would probably be bristling with fortresses.

No, assuming the fundamentals haven't changed oil stocks become a good investment for other entities until the price is back to where it was (assuming it's negatively affected at all). Oil may or may not have a bright near to mid

>But on the other hand, if you wanted to divest from oil with the expectation that oil will become a non-essential resource, you wouldn't go around proclaiming it loudly. Particularly if you're an oil exporter.

We make renewable ethanol from agricultural products entirely dependent on fossil fuels.

Yeah, it's assortive mating. It's not that the mating pool is stacked against them - it's that their self assessment of their own "rank" is too high. They assume men want in a woman what women want in a man, and f

Probably not, but it's still incumbent on media outlets of all types to check the accuracy of details they print.

>Enough to get two felony incitements and dozens of sealed ones? I mean, I'd expect you to know this as you care about these investigations based not on party but on their individual merit. So what's in the sealed indictments?

The causality arrow might go the other way. Heinlein was a naval officer before he was discharged on a medical. He never served on a sub, but he did serve on a destroyer, so he would have been familiar with their weaknesses.

>I'm saying wake up to the real world. By the way, a statement like that has a lot more impact if you don't immediately follow it with a conspiracy theory. That's all on the record. >So what you're saying is Muelle

When someone says something like "Wake up" it's a pretty reliable indicator they're off in conspiracy theory land. The reason they didn't find anything is Hillary deleted thousands of relevant emails from a server

>Ideally, being diagnosed with something like Alzheimers would result in a shrug, just like how you would shrug if someone told you you're gonna die one day. That isn't reality, though. I wouldn't want to have that big bl

The problem with freelancing is you spend a lot of unpaid time lining up jobs. Does that really pay off?

It also becomes impossible to make low margin products, which would pretty much wreck the economy.

"Allowed"? Are we slaves, that we need to ask permission from the state to engage in voluntary economic transactions?

By the same token it's hard to believe people pushing to raise other people's taxes spent a lot of time considering the morality of their position.

Flat tax systems sound good in theory, but they don't address the problem, which is what counts as income .

Yeah, the big problem for people using a service like that isn't that they have to pay tax. It's that they can't say where the money came from. Still, I find it kind of odd it costs so much. I though Hawala banks transfer m

The jury is still out on this one. 3D printing is used for some pretty serious industrial items, like rocket engines. Ultimately I think it's going to replace milling in most applications because you can print shapes you can't m

That's all true. I'm playing the odds here - it's likely he was guilty, and even if he was innocent it's always possible he would have been found guilty anyway. Especially on a drug charge.

While I agree it's unconstitutional to park someone in jail for eight years without bail or a trial, this particular guy is probably ecstatic at how it all worked out: >As a parolee with a previous drug charge to his name, Smith was
