I don't think the people who want Facebook to be broken up are same people who complain about monopolies... perhaps you are referring to two different groups of commenters? Whether or not a review process is doing its job is a separate

Trump is a symptom/result of things that have been "going on forever". In the same sense, couldn't your shock come from being out of touch with what your fellow countrymen desired for the last few decades? Not to minimiz

Some perspective—for a decent chunk of the population, the USA has always been on fire for them. There is something to be said for better understanding and empathizing what daily life has been like for a lot of our neighbors and colleagues

The average among technical workers is around 15 days/year according to the BLS. Where are you getting your data from?

Careful what you wish for. The US has no guaranteed paternity/maternity leave, and the majority of workplaces have less than a month of vacation time. Then there is the healthcare system.

Wouldn't the need to feel productive in order to avoid meaninglessness/depression be considered escapism?

That would give developers too much power and make them non replaceable/interchangeable.

The problem isn't that we don't have the tools to fight these terrorists. The problem is that many of our politicians and police are siding with the terrorists, or at the very least sympathetic to their cause. This isn't a ne

That's pretty baseless, as they are not discriminating on the basis of political party or political affiliation. Romney's remarks aren't being removed, because he's a Republican who's not encouraging violently overt

Cities with mass transit are still lacking compared to cities across the world. The NYC subway is a very different (and inferior IMO) experience than the London subway.
