This is actually insane. I know how it’s so wrong, but I’ve always been curious at the inner workings of the behind the scenes things for the elite. It’s like a movie...good on Bezos for not giving in, hopefully we’ll see some justice here.

Good work Trump. The one thing I absolutely love about his administration is the pressure on China. Didn’t back down from all the pressure from literally every group. His method works, he’s getting concessions. The TPP at its best would be

My response was fairly civil until my last paragraph but I felt that emotional need to attack because I felt attacked. I kept it in there on purpose and I clearly am part of the problem here. Today we had a white man kill a black man allege

This is the emotional response I was describing in my post. These people have this emotional outburst and have an urge to immediately demonize the other side almost as if their reputation and perhaps the world is at stake. They don’t try to

It’s so weird that out of a group of black men calling children homophobic F word, n words, a bunch of racist stuff. A Native American telling kids without provocation to go back to Europe, this is our land we don’t want you, and a bunch of

This is one of the arguments for privatizing social security. Instead of social security that doesn’t really help the economy, generate more wealth or increases capital this method is essentially the same thing but reinvests in our economy.

RIP. One of the biggest reasons the investment class was able to expand to the common person. Exorbitant fees, lack of knowledge of investments were huge barriers of entry to making passive income. Only the really wealthy really had access

Which part is not a fact? That it costs $10k per illegal kid in California schools which are ranked 49th in the country? Down from near the top 20 years ago? That our schools are overflowing and getting worse in Los Angeles County, the epic

100% agreed. By far the stupidest platform of the left. If illegals hear this, then more and more of them will come to California from other countries and especially other states. We pay $10k a year per illegal kid already which has deeply

I agree with raising taxes, maybe not through income tax as it’s shown it often can decreases revenue and capital flight etc. and I support high brackets in the $10M range and up. Many people think 100k is rich and 400k is extremely rich bu

This is such a biased article. The most important fact is purposefully omitted. This article makes it seem like Sargon purposefully used those racist statements in a racist context. He was using it as an analogy and against the alt-right. L

E cigs are the “cool” thing now. Used to be weed when most of us were growing up. Last 15 years it was weed. Seems like whatever society condemns becomes the cool thing for young people.

I don’t agree that much with the Trump administration, but their overall policy and effort on China is commendable. It might be that the news is just focused on China lately making it seem like we’re doing more to combat the IP theft and ot

I’m pretty sure they did multiple times. Even recently in the past year. They just lie and there seems to be no consequences for it. At least after 2012 when they lied the government can go after them but they’re still looking into it.

Oh you’re absolutely right about the punishing those who don’t agree with the state. But as of now they already do punish by sending them into a black cell disappearing forever. Xi has done this to anyone including multibillionaires and CCP

I agree with this. They are punishing those who are using fake CVs, falsifying data, fake resumes. We don’t have much of a problem here with that and it’s easy to do solid background checks and ethics are just higher. In that environment th

According to the NYTimes they also killed over a 100 CIA assets in China. So we went in the dark for a while as the whole batch was compromised. We didn’t retaliate either. The Snowden thing wasn’t the cause of that but I bet the Snowden th
