That's only some of the consumers. Even if there's 5% less business/revenue to Walmart as a result of this decision, that's a huge hit.

The web I want is free of junk loaders, javascript tracking ad garbage making my page requests crazy slow, unpleasant and hard to use. You should try Brave if you haven't already.

The types of immigrants they're looking to bring in with reform aren't trying only to escape war, but looking for a free leg-up. i.e. Syrian war refugees going to Germany instead of any of the countries along the way that aren&#x2

They're voting for asylum reform, but against UBI. What's the point? In a generation, they'll have UBI.

Everyone should accept gays. Everyone should hate paedophiles. Marijuana is good, heroin is bad. Democracy is the best form of government. If you don't agree with all of this, you are literally Hitler.

You guys might not be noticing, but we've thrown the "Hitler/Nazi" stuff around so much that it doesn't have meaning anymore. It's actually been rehabilitating fascism and anti-semitism.

They kept the monetary base pretty steady for a while in the mid 2000's. It ended up hurting their ability to export and made it easier to import. They were unhappy with the slightly higher unemployment, the slight and constant price d

because some gem developer wanted to be clever Everyone knows that debugging is twice as hard as writing a program in the first place. So if you're as clever as you can be when you write it, how will you ever debug it? -Brian Kerni

Itanium was a RISC-y endeavour by Intel and it had it's problems but you can't really say it died because of x86_64. Microsoft adopted it and dropped IA-64 like a hot potato. Intel dropped Yamhill and other projects that attempt

Under Meyer's tenure it's actually much worse: you don't know when you're going to lose your job. With DM, you know if you're in or you're out.
