Great journalism Luke Plunkett! We can all rest so much easier knowing you’re keeping Twitter safe from inaccurate Nintendo facts!

No. Not everyone is racist. Only whites can be racist.

The Clean Air Act is not being undermined or repealed by the Trump administration. The Obama administration Clean Power Plan is what is being done away with.

Don’t tell me what to do.

Nice. I have an i7-7700k, but only a GTX 1070 FE. I wonder if I could achieve similar results...

You can say anything you want. Slavery as it was known at the time was headed towards collapse, regardless of the Civil War. It certainly could not survive in the same form today as it was known by back then. Period.

I wouldn’t argue with Internet 3DS experts. They KNOW what Nintendo’s plans are, and anyone who thinks otherwise is foolish apparently.

So this game is horrible, but the dating married dads game is awesome? OK.

Holy shit, enough with this game. I’m sure it’s as lame as any other dating simulator.

The Nazis had a huge supply of people they rounded up and imprisoned. They were not given any sort of proper living conditions, and nobody cared if they died, because next to no expense went in to getting the prisoners. Farmers in the Confederacy had to buy slaves. They had money invested in them. I would imagine very…

Here’s a great way to avoid a lot of trouble. Don’t have a fucking Facebook.

Would it be permissible here in this case to promote the poundsigns “BlackBreastsMatter” AND “AllBreastsMatter”? Because I feel like this is a time we really could all come together on an issue.

OK. It’s fair to assume you don’t care much about the slave other than making sure they are healthy enough to show up for work. How much do you think it’s going to cost you to make sure that slave lives and shows up for work? Significantly more, or significantly less than what you would pay any other worker to do that…

I’ve stated my point in my first post to this article, and expounded on it in many comments. The institution of slavery in an agrarian society like the Confederacy would not have survived industrialization and technological advancements due to the reality of economics, at least not in the form it was known as at the…

That’s the point. It would be more costly to keep a large number of slaves around, and you’ll need a large number of them to ensure the work gets done even if you treat them poorly, which would be more expense than necessary. It isn’t that complicated.

The South was an agrarian culture, not a manufacturing culture. Their main economic driver was agriculture. Why keep a slave to run your tractor when it is cheaper to do it yourself?

The Confederacy didn’t have factories. The Confederacy was an agrarian society.

You’re right. They’re not incompatible. But do they make economic sense. That’s the question that needs answered.

Well, yeah. That’s sorta the point. The Confederacy was an agrarian society. That’s why they had slaves. Look at it this way. As time has marched on, the business of farming has grown more complicated. Used to be, a plantation owner grew stuff, then took it to market and sold it. Now, farmers enter into contracts with…

Prisons are subsidized by the fact that the inmate is going to be there anyhow. If the prisoner is an amputee, or otherwise unfit for work, he’s still going to be in prison.
