If you're going to add footnotes, you probably shouldn't be citing wikipedia. Capitalism is a system whereby "capitalists" (people with capital) use their capital as investments in business ventures. The person who risks

Socialist reductionism always works for me, although never as I expect. "Health is important. Doctors should be free, right?" - Yes. "But what about housing?! People can't just freeze to death. So housing should be unive

There was a time before welfare, and men and women didn't fall dead in the streets of hunger in droves.

Well. I think it's time I stop checking legit outlets before going to piracy. So much hassle. So much bullshit.

Possibly because it would cost the FBI orders of magnitude more than the damages to investigate. The damages which amazon will likely refund. The FBI does not target petty thieves.

Most of my graduated friends have service jobs, or at best, low paying career related jobs. Learning to weld is more valuable than college for many people. The most valuable thing I did in college was work on my own projects and work an int

NIT and basic income are "libertarian" ideas only in that they could eliminate other welfare instruments. This would not happen in practice. Pure libertarianism not considered with pandering to socialists would not propose a nit o

Agreed. San Francisco has an artificial cap on supply as demand continues to rise. It doesn't take more than the first 40 seconds of an economics class to figure out what's going to happen to the price. You can either decrease dem

I think "engineers" get more giddy about the tools than the job at hand. It doesn't matter what server configuration you have or what language you used if you don't have revenue.

I believe OP could mean emigrate alone or immigrate with an implied "to a better place than where he is." You emigrate from , and he didn't mention where he was from. Or the difference doesn't matter, because any large

You can't fire a weapon within city limits in most (all?) cities in the U.S. And you don't own the airspace above your land, or airplanes and helicopters could not fly. And you don't just shoot at anything in the sky when you
