Catch up Canada! No thanks. We understand that men are more reckless than women and we refuse to needlessly harm our insurance companies.

I'm sorry, it's not technical innovation. If someone invents a horse and carriage when the automobile is already in existence, the horse and carriage is not innovation. The poster who has been downvoted out of existence is correct

What does it mean to connect with their community? What should Microsoft have done? Be specific.

It's interesting how shameless you are about your blatant racism.

You find racial discrimination acceptable? Or also virtuous? Is it a good goal to strive for in 21st century society? Do you find virtue in breaking people up into racial and gendered groups, and then applying pre-calculated policies to &qu

I am glad we agree that this VC fund is based on racial discrimination. I am upset that you find this acceptable, if not virtuous.

It is not that they have been systematically discriminated against; it is that they are being systematically discriminated against with this very fund. Let's get this straight: You are not cleared of being racist if you are discrim

Racism does not depend on history or society, it depends on whether or not there is active racial discrimination. You imply that only the powerful may be racist, and that discrimination towards the racial or gender group "of power&quot

It is at the very least racial discrimination, as it discriminates on the basis of race who should receive funding. You could argue that it does make the claim that non-colored men have relative superiority, otherwise it would not be able t

If you're a VC fund that discriminates by race and gender in the fight against "racism and sexism", then your definitions of those two terms do not rely on ethnicity or gender at all. The terms "racism and sexism" a

It's easy to build one of something. Especially when the engineers building on of something usually build several of 1,500,000kg rockets.

Hopefully Elon Musk followers don't insult groups of people based on their shared passion, like you do.

Do you know of any companies that do that? That seems like a big hassle.

He should have sat on the password. He should have watched for PRs, and started pushing updates immediately after they had received approval, and then merging. Instead, he panicked and kicked out all the maintainers, who realized the intrus

I'm looking at the charts right now and, if anything, a high rate of gun violence seems to lead to greater growth. I'm making a joke, but your analysis is exceptionally weak.

Well what other "economics" are there if not "trickle-down" economics? How else, exactly, does wealth get from the rich to the poor if not through employment?

I actually agree that we need an underlying moral framework. Just for fun, what is your underlying moral framework? Mine would be population and economic growth, environmental protection, and disaster avoidance.

Fair enough, I think given the replies I've received that I need to learn more about tax rates and growth; since I've already started the conversation with you do you have any suggestions on how I should understand this topic bett

I don't think it's a garbage argument, I think that individuals with massive wealth have two useful qualities: 1) They are competent at wealth accumulation, which indicates some level of aptitude and intelligence 2) They have a la

Hopefully sooner? I think, hopefully never. As soon as you take the money away from the geniuses, the insanely industrious businessmen, and allow the lame bureaucrats and politicians to decide where it goes, then you destroy a generation: N

If someone figures out how to make 5M/year of income, I am absolutely certain they are better at capital allocation than the current administration. You are suggesting that they are not, and that we need to have the state decide wher

EDIT: I rewrote this comment because I thought it was too combative, and not with the guidelines. So. I think that the idea that we should tax the high earners of their entire income is a very bad idea! Would it not destroy the motivation o

Sorry Dang, I've brought up the topic before and it's been flagged as well. I guess I need another forum.

I admit it is not a precise argument, but eradicating religion & denouncing your nation's culture as a tyrannical, oppressive force were the two major ingredients for the revolution that led to the slaughter of 60 million Russians.

You are being fooled, they never show the backside of that Tesla Model X to reveal the battery size. They are also not really an independent third party
