The differences between any two Americans are going to be much smaller than the differences between two Chinese people from different regions of China, or two Indians from different regions of India. We often take for granted that Native bo

"Globalization helped bolster economies around the world, including China’s, and is now allowing a class of wealthy people and companies from those economies to invest in the United States, creating jobs in depressed regions like Ohio.

The English settlement of the eastern united states was perfectly peaceful. Englishmen are not murderous psychopaths, but immigration inevitably destroys the previous way of life, and most groups (such as aboriginal Taiwanese, American Indi

Uber doesn't bend over for the social justice establishment that controls the media, so they will continue to attack Uber even for the exact same things their poster-boy companies like Google do. How is an Uber Jewber more offensive th

No. The whole reason pewdiepie and other personalities on youtube have such high viewership is because mainstream media hasn't had anyone funny for decades. Anyone fresh, honest or even just equally offensive to every group has been pu

I agree with both points. Police officers do not and should not have the authority to enforce the law, and anything that stops people from going to the United Sates is wrong. So clearly companies are violating our privacy when hired by law

The problem with this article isnt that the NYT fails to take responisbility for their poor reporting, it's the implication that "there's nothing to see here folks, wikileaks is just paper tiger" as depicted in the accom

This is standard operating procedure at propaganda outlets like NYT/Washington Post Et Al. It's called "burying the lead". When the crux of an issue is buried as a footnote in the last paragraph. The controlled media wil

Only a racist and an Islamaphobe would want limited immigration and a strong stance against Islamic terrorism. Did you know that more people die every year of heart attacks than terrorist attacks, so we should just not do anything to stop t

"We will write off those with opposing views as evil or ignorant or stupid, rather than as interlocutors worthy of consideration. We succumb to the all-purpose ad hominem because it is easier and more comforting than rational argument.

Of course primary sources are 'non-appoved'. Thats why CNN was caught telling listeners that it was illegal for anyone but CNN to read the WikiLeak Podesta emails. When I saw the bus thing I questioned how the guy knew the buses w

I don't want fossil fuel subsidies either! We should focus on killing externalities like you said, especially environmental ones, and stop the abuse of our tax money. If Tesla is to succeed, it must succeed without federal subsidies. T

No! We shouldn't prioritize research so that the technology can improve. We should shell out billions of taxpayer dollars on existing technology that isn't competitive without subsidies so that politically connected businesses lik

Correct. If the federal government wants to build or subsidize an electric charging network then it should build or subsidize an electric charging network, not luxury cars.

Obviously oil companies today still get subsidies from the government. The most egregious of which are the liability limitations on deep ocean drilling as evidenced by the Deep Water Horizon disaster. The rig never would have been built if

I love that pie chart. So crony-capitalism subsidies paid to Standard Oil in the 1930's mean that its Elon Musk's turn to get federal loans and rebates. "It's his turn" people! The huge federal tax payer funded reba

The point of the article is to discourage 'non-approved' news sources because they must all be fake like this bus thing was. Its propaganda to try and keep the NYT relevant despite their lies and deception such as promoting the wa

"On the wrong side of history" is a phase that draws from the ideas of Carl Marx, and is very popular among Marxists. It is an emotional argument that means to appeal to the universal human desire to be accepted by others. Be very
