When every country on the planet hasn't open borders, the US can too. Until then, we will manage and judge who gets to come here. End of story. Calling it xenophobia is meaningless here, unless you're characterizing every country

Compared to communism, this "free market" is like a shiny, golden, heavenly angel of salvation. But, what we are talking about here is government policy. We have a government and it makes rules. There are other governments and the

I'll be concise here: you can hire an American. There are plenty of people who can do that job living in New York City.

Yes. Neither of my parents went to college, and my mother dropped out of high school. I didn't know what the SAT or ACT really was, and never studied in high school because I didn't know how. My family did ok, but I had 0 chance o

Sorry, I'm not sure what you mean by "picked Main Street banks over Wall Street banks" ?

That's cool. Could I bother you for more information on how to do this? I'd like to try that for where I live. Thanks

That's why I try to buy things that are locally made, or that I can discern the quality myself and judge whether it's worth the extra money. As you mentioned, the artisan tries to maximize the taste (or quality in general), and th

I don't disagree that those are risks, and I do not like the large agriculture firms or the climate of that business from what I've read. I'm with you here.

Part of that comes from the sense of ownership and the love that a tinkerer has for their projects. Not that it's a bad thing, but I think it's easy to see how that love would arrive.

Put it this way. If you see two apples, one organic and one not, but the one that is not is cheaper, you would only buy the organic one if you believe that it's healthier, or you feel like you're doing something "good".

Exactly. There is absolutely 0 evidence that GMOs cause any health concerns when compared to organic food. Organic food is just for rich countries who can afford to produce food inefficiently in order to feel good about themselves. Now, I d

But then Facebook/Google are tracking you, monetizing you, and own your log ins. Stop being lazy and just spend more time being picky about what you actually sign up for, or use a temporary email or an alias when you sign up for things

Additionally it assumes that in lieu of a government (as in its gradually emiliminated or something) people will just start going crazy and rioting and murdering each other. That is one possibility, but could you imagine, say, Swedes riotin

Yeah so I would see that as a kind of "level 3", if you will. In a level 3, you'll say anything. You don't care, you may or may not believe it, but you'll say it. In a level 2, like social media, you'll say thi

Hmm. I'm not sure about this. From my experience people are a lot more likely to speak their mind or engage in highly emotional behavior online, but in-person are a lot more reserved than you would think based on what they say online.

The other problems still exist and in my opinion are far worse. My argument is that we should prioritize problems like those over the current outcry.
