Venture capital involves a actual product and venture, and even if the venture capitalist knows they have chances of losing money, it is a calculated risk with contracts involved. While the venture may fail, they will have some protections (whether recouping losses or direct control over the direction and management…

Cryptocurrency: for people who trust an elected government to be accountable to them so little that they put their trust in total strangers who are accountable to exactly nobody and nothing.

Um, upland game permit = totally legal.

Yes, that’s why all the bestiality porn comes from Europe.

I used to hunt those SoCal turkeys with my grandfather. You weren’t technically allowed to shoot them but they were such a pain in the ass that no one cared if you did.

Turkeys aren’t animals. They’re pure spite covered in feathers. Much like geese and swans.

Actually, the wild ones can and do. They’re also kind of a nuisance, and go marauding around the suburbs like juvenile delinquents.

I would like to think a major government project (no matter what it is) costing billions of tax dollars wouldn’t get tripped up by a publicity stunt and a lawyer firm, but then again the immigration policy is constantly blocked by random fucking judges sitting on some islands thousands of miles away so who knows?

Since today there are MULTIPLE crowdfund offerings in the daily post, I’m reposting once again:

This isn’t a tax (or at least doesn’t count as such for your link). It is a flat fee imposed per telephone line. So even all the hicks you don’t understand pay it, even while having lower average income than all the enlightened liberals on the coasts. It is, if we want to use the tax parlance, a regressive tax.

Having worked in the telecom industry for many years, the Lifeline program is massively abused by those looking to profit off government subsidies and pad their subscriber numbers (at the MVNO level). I’m not saying this is the solution, but it’s a horribly corrupt system.

How dare he impose limits! Free phones and broadband is a RIGHT!

Poverty has been declining for decades, thanks to capitalism. Poverty is most rampant in the least free countries.

One of the only things government should do is protect private property. Where in the USA constitution does it say the government should provide “necessities for survival”? Even if it did say something like that, who gets to decide what those things are? And who is going to pay for it all? The rich? lol

Oh year light years ahead. That’s why the USA median household income is about $10k higher than europe. And lets see how their healthcare system does without ridding off of USA innovation. 75-90% of new drugs and medical devices come from the USA. And lets see how they do supporting their own military instead of…

You’re free to depart anytime. Enjoy paying those taxes over the pond, and enjoy the restrictions on your freedom. Everything has a price.

Yes, voluntary. An employer does not force you to work for them.

So what system do you want instead of capitalism? You know of some awesome system that creates “good paying jobs” for anyone that wants one? Maybe China should go back to Communism? Only 10's of millions of people starved to death or were killed under that great system. BUT IT WAS FAIR!  

You’re right. It’s not 40%. It’s half. Just like I said.

Typical leftist style argument. “you’re a moron!”.
