I think the country could get along just fine without out. Better, in fact.

In 2009, the company I worked for was laying people off while it had job openings listed. They would even interview for some of those roles. But it was all window dressing as they never hired anyone for quite a long time. The openings ar

If the whole damn place would go under we might get a little bit of our Republic back! Unrestrained, unrepentant, regulatory capture. The nucleus of corruption in the United States.

I'm tired of the "climate change is settled science" bit, okay--for centuries, people believed the sun revolved around the earth and nobody was allowed to question that. The answer to speech you don't like is more speech

You have no idea how hard it is to short something do you?

It would be stupid to crash our economy and then find out that the "solutions" didn't work. Or that we come up with technological fix to the problem. Or that that whole thing was just a ploy by leftists to seize power. Anyh

We have worse than that now--we have an FBI and DOJ that have become political enforcement only.

I have a hard time believing that the powers that be will allow it, then, because of "Assassination Politics," avoidance of taxes, etc. We won't kill Skynet without a war.

In terms of growing the state and creating opportunities for large corporations to make billions of dollars while subjugating a population, I'd say it is overwhelmingly successful.

I don't think most Americans buy houses as investments. There are other reasons: You usually find yourself in a better neighborhood with fewer hassles if you buy vs. rent. Stocks and bonds aren't any better anymore--the bottom c

No, the alternative is not to double down on madness. The alternative is to stop regulating healthcare out of existence while giving free handouts to billionaires.

You're insane! It is not "free!" It can never be free. It is all who pays for it in their high-ass taxes! We're $20T in debt which isn't getting paid back. How far do you think the Fed can stretch this until it

You should see how much the Canadian government taxes you before you do anything.

Europe is over-taxed and over-regulated and the US is, too. We're killing our golden goose as we speak. It was completely avoidable, but leftism just feels so good. We should be hanging the people that caused this, but we're too

Sure, but it's like slavery--you don't end slavery by making EVERYONE into a slave!

I the small electronics market, price is everything. Thus any compliance that raises costs is likely to be routed around, especially by Chinese companies. Do most products coming from China even get UL listed?

That's not going to work--we just had the discovery of a major vulnerability in Linux that has been around for years but got patched last week! It is what it is.

Couldn't have said it better! They want to place stupid games? Then watch their relevance dissipate into nothingness. Science doesn't need the current research system in order to survive and thrive.

That would be super easy to do just about anywhere these days. One doesn't even have to be particularly controversial. One merely has to vehemently and uncompromisingly come out as a supporter of our Bill of Rights and lay shame on t

The world has enough of those kind of people. It needs more iconoclasts.

As a former academic, my advice is that this may hurt in the short term, but staying true to your principles is important in a world where situational ethics rule. I am a lifelong libertarian and made no attempt to hide it. Leftist academ

Go over to Bogleheads and say that. They'll set you straight pretty fast. The point is that over a long enough period of time, there is no advantage to managed funds vs. index funds and the managed funds usually underperform. Some f

Yes. I am caught up in the Chinese hack that stole all the .gov background check information last year. Not only did my pertinent information get stolen, but also everyone who I used as character references. Trust is dead.

I always thought Google was trying to tie your gmail account back to a cell phone number so they could help end anonymity on the Internet. Or else give the information to the NSA or something. I'm trusting Google less and less these

False. It has to be perfect or Tesla gets sued. A plastic bag flies in front of your car, the car brakes hard and another one behind you hits yours and gives you whiplash. Lawsuit time.

No it isn't! I often react to bad situations not by slowing down but by speeding up, changing lanes, going on to medians--or even grass one time, you name it. Driving defensively is so much more than not tailgating the car in front o
