I think when people say "fake capitalism" or "true capitalism" they're talking about unrestricted and unregulated free markets. It's also important to realize that the thought tied to Communism and Capitalism i

They give you things like your SSN and Birth Certificate for free, I believe. I think my overall point is, the average guy I work with at a shelter or volunteer gig doesn't have the financial flexibility to spend money on an ID at leas

I wasn't aware of the assistance programs. I'll have to look that up and see if my state has that and pass along that info, if the service is available.

Far as I know, a passport card does exactly what I want it to do except be free. There are people that are at the poverty level or below, and some right above the cut-off, who can't afford $100+ dollars in fees.

I think everyone should have easy and free access to personal identification that is valid for voting, air travel, opening a bank account, etc. I don't think it should be mandatory. I think if the government is going to require it, the

Does that mean Amazon has a lease from ARIN on those batches of IPv4 addresses for a period of time (in the same sense as a domain registry for x years) or actually own them? Also, That Wikipedia article was particularly helpful. I knew the

Can someone give an ELI5 summary on why this is important and has 360+ upvotes? Why would GE have had this? Why did Amazon want it?

It gets you to the ferry or the express buses. You can easily take quite a few very very limited stop buses from SI to midtown.

JB has had a home there which he’s been renovating to host large Gatsby-esk parties. It wouldn’t be surprising to see HQ2 there. I also foresee a strong potential he’ll turn into a Koch-esk political operative for his political positions; o
