You missed the part where it put private grocers out of business and forced dependence on government largess. Contrary to popular belief, more power to those with a monopoly on murder rarely works out for regular people.

No, and no one can. My real point here is that this discussion specifically has been so thoroughly debated by brilliant people that I have trouble understanding why this hasn't been simply closed as proven like we do in math. Eventuall

Why on earth would you support arresting people for any speech, hate or otherwise? It is just so obviously a terrible idea that has been regurgitated over and over for thousands of years, countless books, wars, philosophical treatise and he

No, I don't. We have enough people "countering adversarial drones." You won't get a Elon in Beijing or Moscow ever. The confines their societies operate under will not allow it.

What innovation? Eliminating these positions harms nothing and is just part of the standard propaganda campaign we always see whenever anything DoD related gets looked at sideways.

Do we need more? There are literally millions of DoD employees. Nothing presented here (in this or related articles) is convincing. Typical FUD.

The plucky underdog JPMorgan Chase was taken advantage of by a 25 year old pilates instructor. What an embarrassing thing to even acknowledge.

That only happened because they needed some show trials to pacify people. A few were picked to take the fall and the rest were quietly brought to universities and government labs all across western powers. The United States has a proud trad

This is a claim without evidence and simply not true. There is no argument that private organizations are perfectly efficient. Rather, that there are built in feed back loops that drive towards efficiency. This includes bankruptcy as ultima

Why? It is plant food. Are we all supposed to be against greener trees?

The USA executes people with impunity anywhere in the world. It has secret torture cells where people disappear or just die. Internally, it jails people for wrong think, manufactures terrorist threats, forces businesses to filter and send d

Yes, and we are seeing the side effects of their takeover. This website is a cry for help and a great example on what happens to individuals when the brainwashing works.

The land is owned by the crown. In private hands it would be used productively. It has nothing to do with "misery or impossibility."

Bingo. Canada is empty. It has the second lowest population density in the world. Most land is owned by the crown and is simply parcelled out to the friends and family's of the ruling class. Adding to that, you have some of the worst z

Excellent, so it should be easy for you to support your argument with the factual data to back it up instead of ad-hominem attacks.

Why do you speak with such certainty? How can you possibly know if anything you just said is accurate?

I am curious how you have come to this conclusion in characterizing the motivations and reasoning for preppers in the US. >...apocalypse fantasy, settler-colonial "rugged individualist" entitlement... Is this based on any conve

Likely the company simply does not find value in your work (I don't say this to disparage you). The general rule of thumb is companies spend money where they find value. Look around, find who gets the money and support. Decide if you c

Are you disputing any claims or do you expect ad hominem attacks to be an effective persuasive tool?

Unrestricted speech is pretty good. People can listen to arguments and then make up their minds. Heck, even ask questions without the person rehearsing their answer in a committee before hand. Seems to work everywhere its tried. The trouble

BLM in Minneapolis burned down a few blocks of the city and killed people[1]. This person gave $100 so people could buy food. Losing your job is not mild. This behaviour is not something we should encourage for anyone whether we agree with

We have excellent outcomes with monoclonal antibody-based drugs (the expensive route). Monoclonal is interesting because we may be able to take it preemptively. We have excellent results with steroids, vitamins, weight loss and exercise (lo

You have a good point, thank you for stating it clearly. My contention here is that instead of promoting treatment steps, and working towards helping each other we are tearing each other apart and the discussion is oriented completely wrong
