I know how this shit ends...

I’m of the opinion that we’ll never be able to fly around space Star Trek style. Yes, people argue that we can’t imagine the tech of the future, but if you use that logic, we’ll have 3,000 mph cars and batteries that last a lifetime without recharging. There are limits to technology, some insurmountable.

The government has always been of the rich, for the rich and by the rich. In a world where the rules are a game of monopoly; in the end one person counts money and the rest lose.

Well if the state is extracting money from you, you might wanna at least push for it to be used for something useful and moral.

Jeff Bezos is the richest man in the world. Of all the things on this earth that he could put his resources toward, he is instead spending vast amounts of his money on developing an escape plan to Mars. This isn’t about protecting Amazon’s profits or keeping Jeff Bezos’ personal wealth intact. This is about

That’s the thing— NONE of those guys think they did anything wrong. Cosby doesn’t think of himself as a criminal. Sandusky still doesn’t think he’s a criminal.

I’m more concerned with the consumer experince on the dating sites. I don’t think sex workers should be using dating sites to advertise. The point of the site is to find dates. It’s not like Adult Friend Finder and other similar sites. It’s bad enough having fake profiles and scammers flooding the place. Having all

Why do you believe your response is more reasonable than saying “a company who makes billions in profits should treat the employees who helped make those billions with humanity and respect”?

I mean, it’s not like HD employees can afford to buy a home, and forget about any meaningful home improvement.

I was going to make a snarky comment about “thanks to Hamilton, it’s clear only Home Depot is like this”. I doubt HD is unique.

no one should have to have their time, which is irreplaceable, wasted flipping burgers to make other humans even richer than they are now. not teens either.

That kid needs to learn to be a quitter. You won’t get anywhere in life if you don’t learn to say “Not just no, but fuck no.”

They don’t like capitalism. Do you think that they would be cool if you were to intercept their shipments, pay $0.10 more per product then sell at $0.10 less than Home Depot in the parking lot across the street because you don’t have the overhead? Fuck no. They would lose their minds. They don’t even let the

Has anyone (except Hamilton Nolan, though I’m not sure when exactly he did, I’m just sure he has) ever pointed out to these assholes that capitalism is basically “spending other people’s money” whether it’s debt or equity through an IPO?

Micro$oft, eh? We’ll need Kevlar umbrellas to protect our heads from crashing drones.

After appeal the rural customers will owe T-Mobile $40mm.

Individual humans are overrated, as are groups of us.

I will never understand why people react to negative writing about Elon Musk as if they were a drunk, co-dependent girlfriend.

A manic pixie who works at a marijuana farm? She’s a THC Tinkerbell.

Volkswagen Engineer 1: Hey Hanz? What if we constructed some sort of chamber, put monkeys in it and then filled it full of poisonous gas?
