Uhhh yeah, like I said, middle-class earners.

Can't let the middle-class get too uppity with things like financial security, now can we?

Pretty shitty of him, totally agree. Shall we get into what Bill Gates has been accused of? How about the things we know he did? I don't think that's necessary. Bill is a pretty bad guy, I don't care what kind of charity he&#

Just look at Bill and listen to him speak... that guy ain't talking his way into any romantic adventures if he weren't a gazillionaire. Elon's hair plugs aside, at least he's got a personality and isn't the ugliest

Came to post this too. Bill Gates has plenty himself (and worse ones so far as I am concerned) but no one seems to mention that with the frequency they do Elon. Perhaps far fewer envy Gates' life compared to Elon's?

I knew it already, but wouldn't be surprised. One party appeals to emotion and hides the abject corruption. The other appeals more to reason (and for better or worse, Jesus) but is a bit more frank about their objectives and corruption

Uhhh, voting? What the hell else is there to do, write to my crooked senator? Tweet to the ether about my woes? Some people decided to vote for some asshole business guy because it was at least something new and different, but that didn&#x2

What separation of power? The country is run by executive fiat and every 4 years the law of the land takes an about face when the next guy comes along to rip up the old guy's diktats. The US legislative branch is kabuki theater and the

Maybe the general public should spend more time electing MDs and PhDs to run the government then? Instead we get bullshitters and grifters who defer to life-long bureaucrats with an MD of a PhD who suck-up to the right people to get the job

It feels like a game of political chicken to me. Like, "if you won't trust the voting public enough to give them the whole truth and instead treat them like blubbering fools, how can you--with a straight face--pretend that their a

Agreed 100%. My job is 1000 miles away but I have a cohort of folks at the coworking space that keep me sane. This is probably more like the "future of work" especially in my small mountain town.

>> I'm guessing you mean Democrats, since Republicans have greatly benefited from the distribution of propaganda and misinformation that social media like Facebook enables. Right, propaganda is only a thing the Right peddles.

That's a funny standard, and not that I disagree--quite the contrary--but once you get an undergrad in engineering you're an engineer right? Sure, there is an expectation to pass the FE exam but is being employed as an engineer a

As a former day-blazer, I can tell you that you don't want to take an edible before bedtime else... it's bedtime.

My 70 year old father in-law would disagree, but he took quite good care of himself and even with a touch of polio and two metal hips, he's still outpacing some half his age. Being "old" isn't an excuse for looking shabb

In America you can do anything you want because you're presumed innocent until proven guilty... in theory at least. Times are a changin'.

This is correct and any good conceal-carry instructor will make this clear. If your home state does not recognize some form of the "castle doctrine", you can only use deadly force if you believe you're in actual danger. If so

If you were an officer of the law pressed to go door-to-door to say, purely hypothetically, take the oldest child by force to inscribe them in some dystopian military program, you'd probably be a lot more hesitant if you knew that ther

I agree, I never liked how they presented themselves. I can't help but associate the "culture" of the founders with that of the organization, but that may not always be fair.

> the websites were all strangely disreputable Interesting you'd feel that way when sites without "modern design" are encountered. Is this your own bias perhaps creating a judgment or are they sites that you already know h

Ad hominem right out of the gate... why should I care what this intellectual bully thinks about anything? First rule I've learned about persuasion is to not behave this way, but of course it's okay when you have the "correc

Maybe you just write incredible code the first time, every time? Can't discount the possibility!
