I believe that when me shit turns purple and smells like rainbow sherbet. 

This is the exact OPPOSITE of what ever “late-stage capitalism” is. This is massive state regulation cause the collapse of an entire sector of the economy because the state made it illegal to operate without losing money. 

They’ll raise raise as high as the market will bear. Which is good.

You don’t need to have insurance, you can self insure.

All of you need to go to horny jail forever. 

This article really gets to the fundamental contradiction of this show: it simultaneously tries to bring artists out of the shadow of Picasso, but at the same intentionally puts all that art under his shadow, and does it to sell tickets.

Good. He belongs in jail. 

Who better to decide whether Ukraine’s cut is worth allowing the Russians to take a smaller cut than the Ukrainians themselves?

Yes, and lets look at who thinks this is a terrorist act: Russia.

So long as the country defending itself is relying on that pipeline for critical financial support to defend itself? Financial support that is far more valuable to your country than it is to the invader?

Yes, which makes perfect sense and is completely consistent with what I just said. 

A dog running in front of a car is pretty unavoidable, no matter who is driving. Unless the data says otherwise, this appears to be the sort of thing that is unavoidable if we are to allow cars to drive on streets, and is not attributable to it being an AV. 

Neoliberalism just keeps winning, can’t argue with facts :)

Terrorist act? I’d call it a brave act of national defense. That pipeline was a conveyor belt that fed money from Europe directly in the war machine that was currently raping and pillaging its way across their country. 

Yes, the Russians absolutely blew up the dam. It blew up from the side the Russians control. 

Absolutely not. I don’t want my tax dollars subsidizing people who buy homes in high fire danger areas.

Did America “destabilize” and “exploit” the Soviet Union? Or did it collapse on its own because it dogmatically stuck to a failed economy theory?

Ah yes, much better to be famously colorful, cheerful socialism! Fun things, like being kidnapped and killed by the secret police, or dying of starvation. 

They’ll still sell out; there’s a lot more people for whom $3,500 is a chump change than there are units Apple is manufacturing. 

It’s a price for early adopters, but there enough of those (along with enough good will for Apple products) that I suspect this will be successful. There’s no doubt they could build a similar product at a more affordable price point in the future; just look at the iPhone.
