You leave people to rot every day. Why aren't you paying for healthcare in Africa or paying for healthcare for people in rural West Virginia? So are you a hypocrite or callous? There is a far larger philosophical discussion to be had.

You can care about people and think they should provide for themselves.

It depends on what else you're doing. If you're a Scala dev and regularly work with something like Spark and Hadoop you could probably find an entry level data science job at a non-FB/Google company because your programming a

As I mentioned to another poster, it depends on your point of view. On one hand, I sympathize with people who believe in a minimal state, are are fearful of our (mostly shitty) government getting involved in the health care industry. It&#x2

That's quite the loaded question. If you're framing it as simply thus giveth, thus taketh then sure in a vacuum just taking healthcare away from people is evil (assuming a certain moral framework). But that's now what is happ

As of yet I have not run into an issue with my credit card company has asked me to resolve an issue so long as I had previously attempted to resolve it. I don't disagree with what AirBnB should probably provide as compensation, I'

Now, I'm in favor of single-payer healthcare. I can also understand the point of view of the "free market" health care solution. But calling a repeal of Obamacare "evil" is hyperbolic at best.

So let me say this to others who may be reading: If you book something like this, and your expectations are not met and you call the company and they do not provide adequate compensation, do not bullshit with calling them back or tweeting t

> This used to be true, but as more government control has been ceded to the federal government I don't believe this to be the case. Maybe this is the problem then? If you have less federal government control, and more state-level c

Well, sure but it's also going to the Europeans that work in that factory, and to the local community through taxation. It probably benefits the local community just as much, if not more, than it would benefit Ford.

Hm. I'm not sure I agree. There aren't many humans that can just turn their necks around like an owl. It's not a range of motion that the human body is really capable of, so there may be some people who can twist their neck f

I'm an anarchist, which is usually a non-starter for many conversations, so I sympathize with being a Communist and having that distract from your message. The reason I mentioned this bias was because the statements you were making ap

For people with back pain, for example, sitting incorrectly or for prolonged periods of time can cause certain muscle to not activate when they're supposed to. I recently went through physical therapy for this in which my range of moti

Trickle down referred to giving tax breaks to rich people so that they would buy expensive things (like Ferraris) and that this spending would spur economic movement because people have to sell, make, and repair Ferraris. The money they rec

Makes more sense to cut corporate taxes.

Right. My point is look how difficult it was. We (dems) dragged our feet doing it. Why? I'm not defending the republican's choices here, I don't agree with what they're doing.

I didn't say "both sides are the same" even though they largely are. But you're naive if you think that Comcast isn't lobbying their democratize representatives in Philly to vote against net neutrality regulations.

How DARE you provide a contrasting opinion!

"voting for trump" != voting for ISP monopolies and anti-net neutrality. Don't blame everything in the world on people who voted for Trump. Look at how difficult it was to get any sort of good regulation for net neutrality un

That's because it's a very rare occurrence. Let's say I take 2 flights this year and each time United is $150 cheaper, should I spend $300 more as insurance that Delta (or whoever) won't have this happen to them, or that

This probably won't be popular, but frankly if the price was the lowest for where I was heading I'd just take UA. The incident is beyond stupid but also incredibly rare. If it was like a $5 difference or something and the flight w

Where did I say it was an achievement? Was the OP an achievement? The simplification was inherently incorrect, and contradictory. To say that I "feel" that I had a point is nonsense. There's no "feeling" here, it&#x

Right, that's one of the things I have found my fellow liberals struggling with. They don't understand the state of mind of somebody who wants to maintain things how they are, "we like it here" and attribute that to bein

Eventually that money will be either returned to share holders, or will be invested in the business. You also have to consider that the government in Finland is probably way less shitty than the US government.
