Let's quit pretending that Obama's lawyers were responsible for this action. Obama is clearly in favor of the surveillance state. Who will do anything about that?

Indeed, a note explaining why it's named Escher would be appropriate.

Close to 90% of the no-voters are Democrats. The only reason I can imagine is that they oppose even a tiny measure that would hinder the growth of Leviathan.

For evidence look at real estate, stock market, and food (e.g. eggs [1]). Not the government-manipulated "consumer price index" numbers, but the actual, raw prices. [1] https://ycharts.com/indicators/us_eggs_p

The labor theory of value is a mistake with roots in both Adam Smith and Karl Marx. The Austrian school of economics explained and demonstrated how it is utterly wrong, and they have presented a much better theory. Look up (and read) Carl M

It really bothers me that Google hijacks Jacquard's name for their own project. In the future the Google search engine will bury Jacquard's innovation in /dev/Internet/dustbin With decency, they could at a minimum h

One of the elements that enables the perpetuation of this system is the food-stamp program. The landlords are counting on it. If some of these people did not get food stamps they would starve to try to pay the rising rent. People would leav
