And you're exactly right, but these days, that now works two ways. What I mean by this: Previously, economic theory theorized that people would move to where the jobs are. These days, it looks like more and more millennial (and read

That's what people are talking about? Nobody is seriously saying, "let's change the rules now so Hillary wins!" Some people are calling for electors to not vote for Trump, but at least that's part of the original i

Just no. The US economy relies on Urban areas. This is where the vast majority of wealth, innovation, and knowledge is created (at a much greater rate per capita, than rural areas). This is only increasing in part due to how knowledge is

It's a monarchy in name only. They're both constitutional monarchies which are really strictly parliamentary systems. The actual monarch is head of state, not head of government, and the Queen has almost nothing to do with the a

let's at least be honest here, very few people think "I believe I've done a lot of bad for the world..." It's how our brains are wired to work. It's how we sleep at night. edited to add: which is to say, you m

This is not really true. While yes, the tyranny of the majority is a very important discussion, I would argue it plays no factor when it comes to the specifics of how we elect the president. And the tyranny of the majority has (arguably)

It's two days after the election and the NYT is proclaiming that Thiel's bet has paid off. It's way too early to say this. For whatever political pull Theil has gained, I believe he has (at least potentially) lost a lot of

I don't think that was true, though it could have been possible at the very beginning when the Cheyenne Mountain complex was being built in 1960. But I'm skeptical for a few reasons. One is the infamous "missile gap," w

The author states that NORAD "... dropped the ball on 9/11.." Let's be clear, NORAD did not drop the ball on 9/11. You can certainly make the argument that the FBI, CIA, and NSA (and other US intelligence services)
