So let me get this straight, in your mind, every person making below, say, 35K, is a barely employed, social services using, bike stealing bum? I’m gunna be honest, if we’re making broad generalizations now, silicon valley snobs are by far

^And both are equally insufferable in their perceived self importance to the world. Too bad I’m not a Roman Emperor, or else I’d host weekly public bouts where I’d pit them against one another in a fight to the death.

If subprime was heart of 2008 financial turmoil, future crisis may centre on private markets. Investors have ploughed c. $9.8tn into opaque, unlisted equity, private credit & early stage/venture funding. Could this blow up? Is the

I understand what you’re saying. I see the data. That’s why I clarified my statement with —- if ‘resource parity’. I think the data, while true, doesn’t do a great job of illustrating culture, tradition, education policy, and industrial pol

I think it’s just a matter of proportion. Numbers. China has nearly 100 million more registered drivers that the US has total population. As resources come to parity I think it’s kind of impractical to try to out-compete a country that has

God, if this is true this guy is a trade A moron (like that wasn’t already true). He probably sold nuclear secrets to the Saudis. How will Trump supporters defend this?

I mean, what is there to say? China has poured billions into research and education. That coupled with a culture that puts great emphasis on education, it’s not surprising. The US is much more (culturally) Laissez-faire when it comes to edu

Yes. This is true, and personally I agree. But, for example, many groups in the US who have not had the privilege of living in the suburbs historically are now doing so given the opportunity. Single family housing is a status symbol and wil

So, your position is that this century long trend of globalization is over and all systemic mechanism that enable it will somehow, someway, cease. Or, what exactly? What is your position? Because, if for example, the crisis in Ukraine has s

No, I don’t think so. The last few years have been no more than a speed bump in the 100 year trend of increased global interconnection.

Sorry that your grandparents decided to invest in shitcoin. However, they are an outlier. I’ve seen that not even 3 percent of 50+ individuals own bitcoin. If I recollect correctly, less than 20 percent of Americans own or have traded in bi

I think the comment above could have been better articulated. America is ‘huge’ because of cultural inclinations. People want to feel autonomous. People don't want to live in too close of proximity to others. Despite recent attempts to

Outside of major metro areas? No, not at all. Asian Indians makeup less than 1.5 percent of the US population. And, like most immigrant groups of the past, tend to congregate in closer knit communities and social circles. That aside, Americ

I can see your reading comprehension and capacity to process simple case, that has been re-explained to you numerous time, is simply not up to the task. Have a nice day.

No, the cases show that the bill of rights have no standing under war powers. That’s it. WAR POWERS. Again. Governance powers, vs War powers. The government does not choose. Your retort is irrelevant.

Are you going to cite any of this, at all, about the statements made by Awlaki’s family?

This my last reply, since it seems like you don’t wish to read the cited materials. As it explains all of this. The long list of historical supreme court decisions provide evidence enough that due process under the war powers is not relevan

Same tired statement you’ve made already. Your points have been addressed. You have provided no sources, included no citations throughout this discussion. The killing of Anwar al-Awlaki under the 2001 AUMF was constitutional.

There’s about 3 legal documents and 4 Supreme Court cases cited in this thread. Your issues have been addressed in this thread. I would refer to them if I were you. Thanks. The laws of war apply under the AUMF.

No, in fact, it does not. It supports my claim. >Hamid only applies to those in custody. It is dictating what due process is required to those people who are already in custody. No portion of the constitution requires that you capture en

The AUMF says nothing about geography. Refer to the comment above. Hamdi rendered the constitutional override argument unnecessary. AUMF stood in for a declaration of war endorsed by all three branches. And before you say, “Acts of Congress

Alright man. I can tell you have a big stake in this. Obviously you’re not reading/engaging with the source material. Otherwise you wouldn’t be asking questions that have been answered. I gave you two court settled situations in which
