Exactly, and truly getting serious about it would basically destroy the global economy in the short term. That's why rich people (and capitalism) don't like it, so they don't do anything about it. There's a big differe

That would imply they had actual power to do so. One average individual isn't going to be able to do anything to those who are polluting our air. Case in point: the US government is one of the top 10 greenhouse gas polluters in the

You want the real reason? Fixing air pollution quickly would disrupt the global economy on a long term scale. Capitalism doesn't like that. Edit: Y'all so predictable.

Get serious about green and sustainable policies, get American workers some actual workers' rights, stop imperialist incursions in other countries ( i.e. stop bombing brown people), completely reform Social Security so that people can

Since no one else has said it, I will: * There is no real political "left" in the US. Bernie Sanders and AOC would be considered rather milquetoast social democrats by European standards, according to their stated positions. * Re

Warrant canaries would not appeal in any way to any but a small subset of Reddit's demographic. The other two, there was some serious backlash, but I don't know how it affected DAUs.

You know that's precisely my point, right? There's a long list of things they did that were right, good, and/or positive, but that doesn't excuse crimes against humanity.

And where are these statistics? And why is Berlin typical in this aspect? And why are cyclists doing such an obviously dangerous (to them) maneuver?

If it is a justified belief, then asking them to justify it is not a problem then, is it?

Sigh. You may not realize this, but when someone says "I am reasonably certain that X," they are not, in fact, generally asserting their certainty. They are, in fact, asserting X to be true. So, to your "I'm confident

Sounds like you're a little biased when you're reading "within a few feet" as "six inches."

Right, that's why the word "could" is in there. All of the crimes I mentioned have an element of either intent or fault attached to them. Coming close to someone, even at speed, without intending to do any harm is not &quot

I have no problem with that if it's done safely. But, I've had people try to blow through an intersection when I'm turning at a protected left. That's just asking to be hit.

Facebook you probably have a good case for. But, I think the president manages to get his message out just fine.

For purposes of the current discussion, it doesn't much matter. We see corporate abuse happening all the time, every day. If I had to speculate it's that corporate executives have very strong incentives to do everything to make

I hate to Godwin this thread already, but, you know, Hitler did positive things, too. For neither corporations nor Hitler do these things make up for literal crimes against humanity they have committed. https://www.quora.com&#x2

If you try to run someone down, and end up killing them, that would be considered murder. If you try, but don't end up killing them, it would be assault with a deadly weapon at the very least, or possibly attempted murder. If you j

Why would you trust big corporations as an American, period? History shows us that they will take every opportunity they are given to make or save a buck, from virtually enslaving people via company towns and company scrip, to killing peop

Cyberpunk is also a pretty good representation of anarcho-capitalism. Sure, there are government agents (mostly cops), but they're pretty insignificant. Megacorps run the world, backed by their private security forces. Everything th

It's great to see an open access journal sponsored by a major academic entity, but they gave it a terrible name. I could easily see it being confused for the Journal of Combinatorial Theory , which is one of the best journals in th
