Longstreet is much, much better.

Ah, local yokel pols, you never disappoint.

Muslim girls don’t wear them until adulthood.

The left embrace conservative Muslims, for some reason.

I’ve seen some Israeli and Palestinian teens and young adults just say some horrible shit on social media to each other. (I believe this was in a program about social media and television propaganda.) I’d love to see reasonable standards of civility in posting (excluding excited utterances when wounded, maimed,…

First and foremost, let me just say fuck Roy Moore. For real. He is a truly terrible piece of fucking garbage. But he’s absolutely about to be elected to the US Senate from Alabama.

He’s playing for that after-Congress cushy gig from some bullshit GOP backer.

That and if he does pull off a reverse robbin hood and steal from the poor to give to the rich, he will be able to cash in as the super rich throw him a few bones in thanks while they stash the rest off shore away from the US economy.

I think that any media platform that lets individual people voice opinions (facebook, twitter, youtube, comment sections, etc..) should be extremely curated if not altogether disbanded.

I think he is referring to college graduates that majored in [fill in the blank] studies.

When 65% of people under the age of 35 believe that socialism is a better model, we have a problem. We have a problem. So unless we change it, it will change—and maybe not in a good way.

The thing you said about Solar Panels is factually incorrect, because you conveniently ignore things like tax breaks, grid buyback and increased home value - all of which are designed to make it profitable for the buyer.

In truth, there’s really nothing wrong with outsourcing “Walmart manufacturing” to other countries, and it’s good in theory. Trade allows for labor diversification, which means that people can focus on what they are best at, increasing overall production (and consumption, because in the long run,…

For what? That when you have progressive taxing, consumer protections, and a strong antitrust regime that the proceeds from capitalism can be used to fund social programs that serve the greater good? How about European countries as my citation? Or Canada? Or any first world country other than the US?

You overlook the fact that CEOs do not really run their companies. They aren’t the autonomous demigods they claim to be, and if you believe that Bertolini run Aetna, you fell for the propaganda. The majority of shares in large American corporations are owned by funds, not just hedge funds, but mutual funds, pension…

“And most people know this, so why bother trying to get better at the job and skills?”

Is that why everyone wants to come here? Seems to work better than the alternatives.

Because the factory needs accountants and janitors, both of which can be outsourced along with the factory.

I think that many CEOs do actually believe (or want to) in the whole enlightened capitalism thing, and many probably even believe they’re doing their part. But they often fail to recognize the times when they don’t live up to the ideals of “enlightened capitalism” and the ways in which they’re making things worse…

Nah, it’s simpler than that and it transcends economic classes. Look, middle class folks at this point know that buying cheap Chinese crap at Walmart instead of US made stuff at locally owned stores will eventually lead to their jobs being eliminated. Still, they do it anyway because of the sense that one person…
