"Too much regulation is obviously stifling to innovation as well." I don't believe that for a second. Innovation is constantly happening.

So we need to change that. We need to make sure there is a heavy stick being used against those that decide to make these unethical decisions.

Maybe that's why it's so popular. Most people are fed up with trolling.

How does it benefit those it displaces? Automation can be great. But we need to think long and hard about what to do with those that are going to be left behind. Job retraining can help somewhat, but a person who was 10 years or so away fro

Here's the big problem: You're not wrong in that automation is mostly good. But most people who are cheering for automation, or even for overseas cost savings, are not interested in what happens next to those who lose their jobs b

Yeah, but Obama had a strong opposition in Congress, even when the Dems controlled it. It has yet to be seen, but I'm not confident that Trump will face anywhere near that much opposition.

Meh, let someone else do that. They'll just repeal the ACA wholesale, and get back to the important stuff of Benghazi and email hearings.

Same with you feeling you're right. And I cannot trust any wikileaks sources, so unless you've got something else, I don't see you backing up your argument.

by st3v3r 10y ago
I don't get this argument against "paywalled sources". Do journalists not have the right to try and get paid for their work? Do you enjoy getting paid for your work? Why aren't you working for free for me?

What if that belief is that you're fine being an LGBTQ person, and the "challenge" is from people who believe that you shouldn't exist or have the same rights as others?
551.
by st3v3r 10y ago
You realize that these places are supposed to be breaks where people don't have to deal with others constantly saying they shouldn't exist, right? That's what the LGBTQ spaces are for, that's what the POC spaces are for,

Nobody is hiding from "scary ideas". They're hiding from the fact that other people flat out believe that they shouldn't exist.

Have you considered that their choice is negatively impacting quite a lot of people, and it is profoundly unfair for them to take housing off the market and drive up prices just because they can?

You said "most successful people". That doesn't clearly mean at work.

by st3v3r 10y ago
That's like saying, if you're poor, you should buy more money.
556.
by st3v3r 10y ago
That couldn't be more wrong if you tried. Not to mention, you're assuming that people need the job. It's the other way around. The company needs the engineers. Much more than the engineers need the jobs.

Even if I'm interested in it, I'm not interested in doing free work for a for-profit company.

by st3v3r 10y ago
You are an edge case. There should be a workaround for you, but just because something doesn't work for you doesn't mean it doesn't work in general.

Non-competes are worthless clauses that should never have existed in the first place. I am perfectly ok with someone ignoring that blatantly anti-employee clause.
560.
by st3v3r 10y ago
I wouldn't do that. But then, I don't work for free.
561.
by st3v3r 10y ago
We have hundreds of years of evidence for why we shouldn't allow pure "free markets". Also, Private Property rights would be a regulation on the "free market".

No. You just handwaved away the experiences of thousands of users. You said that because YOU don't have a problem, that there isn't one. That is not an answer.
563.
by st3v3r 10y ago
No, you didn't. You completely ignored one of the reasons why Twitter is tanking. Tell me, why would I want to use Twitter 2 if every time I make a post I have a dozen people calling for my family to be raped and murdered?

You're going to have to explain what was uncivil in my statement. Nowhere did I call anyone names. Nowhere did I insult anyone. I explained the feelings that many of us have of what happened, and why we're not so eager to kiss and

How can you expect the millions of marginalized people to just "sit back and move in the direction that has been chosen" when that direction is one that believes they should not exist?

by st3v3r 10y ago
You mean something like Clinton proposed? Something that Trump wants no part of?

There is absolutely no way in hell basic income is anywhere near the table now. It's not even in the kitchen. It's been returned to the grocery store.

And maybe I'll get a pony. And even if that somehow happens, those scenes from his rallies are not going away. The videos of people cheering racist rhetoric, cheering the idea of an entire religion being banned from the country, the id

The reason people are demonizing Trump supporters is because they ran on a ticket of undoing just about all of the progress that many had fought hard for over the past eight years. LGBTQ rights are likely out the window, as is any hope at g

Why do I care about them? They still most likely made more money than I'll see in my lifetime for not doing anything other than having money.
