I agree, and am glad you recognize it as such. When Sony erased Philips' "head-start", they obsoleted an investment made with the finite endowment of global resources (not to mention time ). It's an underhanded tactic w

What do you hope to gain by denigrating my position as lacking "actual facts"? I don't see you having brought much to the table. This is the end of the discussion, for you? You simply call me delusional and walk away? We have

I agree with this deeply. The Marvel Cinematic Universe, and its ilk, are propaganda projects designed to push manipulative falsehoods into the public's understanding of reality. I am not talking about Dr. Strange's magic, or Supe

Calling work done in off-hours "$0" is magical thinking. That teacher costs a lot to maintain. Those of us who are employed full-time don't really have "off-hours", and regardless of the intensity with which we focu

It's no conspiracy, it's simply self-interested foreign policy. That "self interest" is very overtly expressed by the Kennedy, Johnson, and Reagan Doctrines exemplified by the 1961 Bay of Pigs Invasion, the 1965 invasion

It's worth mentioning that the violence in Honduras is, in no small part, part of the US State Department's bipartisan foreign policy from which we benefit. Fast fashion, which Americans consume, is enabled by the precarious situa
