Welp, guess I won't be purchasing the mustang I wanted. This has got to stop. Like the final paragraph states: If I pay for a vehicle in cash, I damn well don't feel like paying with my privacy and data, too. This is the very same

Umm, not sure what social security has to do with this? Nor do I understand the condescension in your tone. However, > pay no taxes, vehicle license fees, parking fines These all make perfect sense to me. How __else__ do you expect mail

Crazy. What surprises me the most is the fact that the USPS receives no federal funding. With a budget of even $5 Billion, the issues highlighted here could be solved or drastically reduced.

Is your comment satire?

Not saying that Dodge doesn't make power. Mopar power is for sure a thing. The Demon and Hellcat in particular are awesome feats of engineering. Now they've come out with a 1000 HPE crate motor, too (the "Hellephant"). B

Well, Maserati is actually owned by Fiat/Chrysler Group. Plus, like all F/C vehicles, they're pieces of shit. Maserati used to be nice. Now, they're sport cars for people who want a sport car but don't know anything

This is hardly worth dignifying with an answer, but I will anyway. Your original premise was that the dollar has lost enormous value since 1913. Strongly implicating the inflation is a measure by which you can measure whether or not a curre

What a strawman. Inflation BAAAAAD, right guys? C'mon. We all know why the Fed targets a relatively consistent rate of inflation. It's because deflation suppresses consumer spending. Not what you want in a consumer economy.

What, like Huawei? I don't think you can call the companies (I'm making assumptions about which ones you're alluding to) more successful when their success is predicated upon corporate espionage and IP theft from the aforemen

> Bottom line: the taxpayers of this country should not have to subsidize employees at a company owned by Mr. Bezos who is worth $155 billion. That is absurd," Sanders said in the statement. Agreed. This isn't an Amazon only pr

In what world does this solve anything? Tokenize it! You mean assign the worth of an asset to an arbitrary symbol of value? Like, say....a dollar?

Not OP; just thought I'd chip in organizations like GiveWell. They're a non-profit dedicated to reviewing and researching charities to find the "best", most efficient, cost-effective ones in need of funds. Their website

Also fair. At that point, though, if someone's out of water and in a survival situation, and lights a fire in a cave like that, well... I'd be doubtful they've got the outdoor knowledge to hack it.

Even other parts of death valley have reasonable water sources. Surprise Canyon is one of them.

Sure, but unless your airways are obstructed, that happens automatically. Maintaining core temperature is something you must actively manage, just as water intake is actively managed.

Sorry, you're right and that was neither appropriate nor conducive to good discussion.

Satan almight. I'm glad you've looked back on a 240 year old document and determined it to be hateful according to modern societal standards. This is clearly a reasonable position to take because, duh: Fuck context, amirite?. You&

At this point, my wish is for the supreme courts of the EU and individual countries within to all indict Trump for his various crimes, refuse him entry, and to embargo any and all of his products/services/businesses as well as tho

This is not an appropriate sentiment. Advocating the death penalty for what is essentially larceny is barbaric.

My SO and I do something similar. When it (almost never) gets contentious, one of us will just yell: "I Declare Disagreement!" in the same manner that Michael Scott declared bankruptcy on The Office. Instantly breaks up the tensio

Can't wait to hear more stories of crashes due to Tesla's irresponsible marketing of a completely not-autonomous car as an autonomous one.

First off (but probably inconsequential), why do you put "monetary policy" in quotations? Monetary policy is literally an Econ 101 term. But also: A large percentage of any public companies' value can be decided by monetary p

It's interesting that bitcoin (and crypto maximalists in general) repeatedly harp on and attack QE as if it was the end of democracy itself. QE is just another tool for monetary policy designed to combat deflation and increase availabl

OH NO! Someone might lose a few dollars because they can't vacuum up my personal data and sell it for their personal gain! Heaven forbid!

Uh, not really. They can still utilize location data to make smooth handoffs and the other services you mention without bending us over and fucking us with a rusty chainsaw. They do not need to sell location data to other parties in any way

Right, but 100W/hr is very different from 800wHr.
