With respect to the specific problem of homelessness in Seattle my point is that Amazon could throw multiples of the amount of the tax being suggested here at the problem and not have it matter to them.

I agree. I think anyone who puts any sort of “corporate citizenship” ethics requirement on a corporation is an idiot. My point is that no one should be afraid to tax Amazon, because Amazon’s a massively valuable company and only growing moreso by the minute.

It would be at a mature company with limited growth.

Well, for starters, for the most part, most of the other kids came from pretty well off families and it definitely showed in how they viewed the world, their place in it, and most frustratingly the place of “others” in it.

Eh, naw. There are plenty of people who do just fine with a public education, with the extra benefit being that we might be a little less likely to make sweeping assumptions about certain sorts of things ...

Eh, for a few general reasons.

Amazon made $1.6 billion in profit in the first three months of 2018 alone. $11 million is 0.68% of $1.6 billion.)

I mean, whatever it suggests, what we have to go by for what the alleged to have existed person named Jesus thought are his words in the Bible.

Even if you harbored unforgiveness in your hearts toward that child abuser, you would still be okay if you were genuinely a good person.

I’m moreso talking about harboring resentment towards oppressors than I am punishment.

Based on what though?

You seem to be completely ignorant of the actual words of the so called Communist hippie you are talking about.

The part I’m referencing is 100% based in the “red letters” part of the Bible.

Let’s game that out. Say Comcast decides to block Democracy Now! for some story they wrote or covered on the show.

While the Vatican did order him in 2011 to spend his life in “prayer and penance,” Karadima is not in jail. Nor are the priests who concealed these crimes.

At the moment, Hideo Kojima’s upcoming project Death Stranding is less a video game and more a series of weird art films that he trots out once a year with the clear and totally understandable intent of prolonging his friendship with Norman Reedus and Mads Mikkelsen for as long as humanly possible

But this isn’t really about “bias”. It’s about whether the ISP is going to sift through existing news coverage from any and all news outlets and specifically block or throttle access to individual news stories.

On principle, I won’t put my kid in a secular private school. I probably couldn’t afford to send them to one of the few secular private schools anyways, and the religious ones in this area all probably use some sort of nonsense developed by nutjobs like David Barton.

In a world where I have to choose between David Barton or Howard Zinn I think I’m seriously going to have to consider homeschooling.

That’s an interesting way to think about Net Neutrality. While I definitely might see an ISP having, say, a “News” tier they add on to their pricing program due to the repeal of Net Neutrality, I’m skeptical they would care to censor much in the way of news.
