Actually, in the final level there is no one left to fix the problem, because half are dead, the other half are starving, and the so-called “leadership” is living lavishly off the spoils of years of appropriations.

It’s not election years I hate, it’s the candidates. And the parties. And the voters.

Only insane people want the endgame of any form of Socialism. It’s a lazy fantasy and not a thing more. It has no more bearing to reality than do heaven, hell, or the flying spaghetti monster.

It’s nice that you managed to stuff just about every cliche about healthcare as a right, systemic “public good”, “conservatives”, and “white people” into your tirade, you’ve actually fundamentally missed the entire point. Systems such as what OneCare offers are rising up because our system of “public healthcare” is a…

Umm, I also grew up in the 70's and 80's, and no, not all healthcare was as she describes, not even close. Further, a HUGE amount has changed between then and now, including tens of thousands of additional regulations that must be followed, massive advances in technology, science, and medicines, reduction of stigma…

Actually, I know more boomers with Macs than I do millennials or Gen whatever the fuck they’re calling the youngest people.

That’s one factor, for sure. Another is that Apple users tend to believe the incorrect (and it’s ALWAYS been incorrect) myth that Macs can’t get malware, and as a consequence, most of them don’t run any kind of antimalware software. Compare that to Windows 10, which comes with antimalware *built in*, and you can see…

EXACTLY. This is the ONLY way we’re ever going to get rid of corruption in government or in big, well-heeled businesses with political connections.

Subsidies absolutely ARE evil. They are literally the seizing of some people’s earnings and handing them over to some other private entity who did not earn it.

Umm, there is literally nothing wrong with what he says here. He apologizes for the impact, says he wants it over and wants his life back, all of which are perfectly reasonable things to feel, say, and want. When a disaster like this happens, you’re no longer on the 9-5 M-F schedule (though execs are usually working…

I would not have watched birds of prey with Leto in it, period. He was AWFUL in SS, on to of being utterly irrelevant to the story.

If the Jared Leto joker had been in there, I would NOT have gone to see it.

I thought the movie was entertaining, but ultimately vapid. It’s a movie with absolutely no substance. I also think it’s mistitled. This is not a birds of prey movie, is more like “Harley Quinn, featuring an extended cameo by a couple future members of the birds of prey, before they really know anything about each…

And yet, the vast majority of Americans *support* government subsidies. They may disagree on who should get them or why, but they all want to put public money in the hands of their favored private people.

That’s right, the goal is for government to use public money to bribe the public into doing things that ideologues in government want done.

Forget shifting that money. *Stop spending it*. No private business or industry should EVER receive taxpayer funded subsidies, for any reason, PERIOD.

Suicide Squad is terrible, and the extended cut, even worse. Don’t torture yourself by wasting another second thinking about it. If you wonder what you missed in Jared Leto’s performance, the answer is: garbage. Complete and utter garbage. Worst Joker EVER.

I don’t think it’ll destroy civilization. I think it’ll force civilization to adapt to those changes, but it’s not likely to put an end to all life.

“The wealthy”. Can we please stop lumping people together based on arbitrary, irrelevant metrics? That’d be great, thanks.

That’s because so many people have become so extreme and dogmatic that they’re unable to perceive any nuance to the world in which we live. It’s all black and white to them, despite the fact that virtually nothing works that way.
