Yang is the only candidate who understands where we’re headed. And I think his UBI proposal is the future. I just doubt it will work immediately in the absence of other legislation. The most glaring problem is that landowners would capture most of the new funds: rents would increase by $1000pcm, and house prices would…

Well, fuck all that useless crap. 

I like its Jupiter Ace color scheme.

Yeah, let’s not forget Murray too quickly. Between mid-2012 and mid-2016 he was involved in 8 out of 17 slam finals. Not as many as Novak’s 12 in the same period, but still pretty impressive. (Roger and Rafa were both in four.)

Unfortunately the vagaries of the FPTP electoral system may dictate otherwise. 

No, it’s about self-esteem. And for some people the search for self-esteem can take the form of racist tribalism.

Unfortunately those who are lacking in self-esteem and economic prospects often fall for the appealing fantasies peddled by populists, especially if these involve scapegoats. 

The Lib Dems are not the “bad opposition party”. They tempered the idiocy of the Tories during 2010-2015, and got shafted for their trouble, especially by pro-Labour agitators, who continue to enjoy sticking the boot in.

Their worst crime, the one that is dredged up to pillory them by Labour voters, is that Nick Clegg…

It’s not all that surprising. The general tenor of female chauvinism in both mainstream and social media has created an atmosphere in which even nice and fair-minded chaps are going to be defensive, especially when you see blatant misrepresentation of people’s positions and a witch-hunt atmosphere as in the Damore…

Oop, edit; you already covered my suggested alternative.

I don’t mind that scene conceptually. I just hate the way it’s edited. If Kenobi jumped, flipped, collected the lightsaber and slashed in one continuous move, it would have made sense as a surprise attack against a complacent opponent who already thought he’d won. Instead, Kenobi lands and they face off for about a…

I was at a company once where the pension scheme only gave us a choice of funds with MERs that varied between 1.8% and 3%. It was fucking disgraceful. Worth joining for the company match, but I have no idea what they were thinking with that shit-fest of a provider. They even went through the charade of having a couple…

ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS? Fully subsidized, with a plan? That is the most expensive phone in the world!

If you’re fearful of crashes in the short term, put the contributions into bonds and money market funds. If your crash comes, start a regular transfer of value from bonds to stocks, gradually “buying the U” as the recession works through and becomes a recovery. You might want to hedge by allocating 50% to stocks and…

Why?
