Jeff Bezos has a few billion sitting around in cash, while people that work for him are struggling to get by, and you don't see how that's a problem of wealth disparity? Why, oh why, does HN love to defend billionaires like this.

Nice job stepping around the question there. Do you take tango lessons?

No, it's more a "when you spew baseless beliefs, I'll show you how ridiculous you're being by doing the same." If you're going to make a moral argument, at least try to back it up with something. It's inte

I think the entire world would be much better off without Bezos, we should pay him 0 and redistribute all of his wealth. By your arithmetic he may be "infinitely valuable," but from my stance he's infinitely worthless.

Meanwhile his employees don't even have adequate healthcare, and can't send afford to educate their children. Seems like a great system we've got here, but I'm glad you're worried about private jets.

In my experience Americans are pretty blunt, and will not hesitate to point out flaws and make cynical jokes about them openly in the presence of their team.

Oh wow you're really stupid. I'm calling you an American-hating foreigner who doesn't read any media that doesn't originate from your own country.

No, the Judiciary serves as a check on the Executive, so the courts are supposed to be the ones reeling in the police. That's obviously not happening.

This seems like a fun game: > If you perform low-altitude flyovers while citizens exercise their right to assembly, you are attacking them lethally and must expect lethal reaction also. Please DO NOT do this.

Puerto Rico retains exemptions that do not apply to US states, though. They have a special designation because they are not a US State, like Texas or Hawaii. If they want the full benefit of American citizenship, they should apply for state

Easy solution -- we stop the process of QE and replace it with a UBI. Why is dilution OK in the name of big corps but the next incarnation of Hitler when it's for you and I?

I could subsist while working only 10 hours a week, yet I usually put in 50+. Can you explain what's wrong with me? Or is everyone similar?

If we really still want them, the law of demand will help us out. The price will go up, and people will start working to be able to afford it. If it turns out that we don't actually want smartphones, new jeans, Starbucks coffee, etc --

Oh right, my mistake, I forgot that one-size-fits-all solutions are the norm when it comes to economic and political solutions to complex problems. Yes, carry on.

Germany isn't a great example to use when talking about what's best for the United States. For one, Germany is 96% white and doesn't face the same issues the US faces with diversity and cultural variation. When the population
