I used to ask myself questions like that all the time. Then I stopped. Nothing will change until we eradicate the old guard — they don’t know they’re doing anything wrong. They probably looked at that photo and mentally patted themselves on the back for including two black men, like they’re the reason Wilmore and Noah…

If you’re a white dude, it probably looks all kinds of inclusive, even progressive because of Larry Wilmore.

Yes, because James Corden is such a household name.

I'm guessing these people also couldn't identify Larry Wilmore and whoever that guy is behind Kimmel.

Are... most of them “titans of late night tv”? Conan and Kimmel, sure... Fallon and Meyers, I guess. The rest of them? Nah.

What’s it like being “that guy”?

Yeah, I’m surprised that basic truth in advertising laws don’t seem to have more power in these situations.

I am really confused about how a law requiring someone to state whether they are medically licensed and where to find medically licensed care if an individual rightly chooses that they want some goddamn medical care, violates the first amendment. Wouldn’t it technically fall under the same rules regarding non doctors…

“I have deeply held religious beliefs that I need to be able to lie to all the patients!”

Your confusing the people with the money and the people with the ideas - they rarely go together. It’s great to encourage investment through incentives, but if you really want more innovation, you’ll back education, transportation, and health care to maximize the ideas and output of our national human resources.

Generating infrastructure while in public service is generating wealth for the country. The worst is Wall Street, which is private sector, where middlemen skim percentages off of transactions and get paid ridiculous sums to do this. They generating nothing. It’s a huge waste of brains and effort.

...and to overvalue the contribution of ‘entrepreneurs’ in comparison to the labor that enables their enterprise, the consumers that support both, and the government that regulates them all is to display a stunningly incomplete understanding of what makes capitalism work. If you have any doubt of that, look at the…

“We need innovators and wealth creators far more than we need public sector workers.”

Yeah, right. We tried wealth creators, they quote-unquote “created wealth” then they created lobbyists so they wouldn’t actually have to participate in the ‘trickle down’ part of that tired-ass economic strawman. One million poors…

I'm sorry, but the majority of people, even in 'modern' capitalist country, can't afford healthy food and are forced to eat shit, that's how it works. I don't call that freedom. 5 billion people live with a dollar per day while 1 billion have 100, and some have 1000. I don't call that a success of capitalism either.

It's not capitalism (as we know it today) that doubled the life expectancy, but the work of scientists that often were underpaid during their studies, and didn't work for money. If it was capitalism, the US would be the country where people would life older, which is not the case at all. On the contrary, capitalism…

I agree, the difference is that socialist ideology doesn't emphasize the creation of wealth but simply the improvement of society in general. For example one can be a scientist and do research by working for the state.

Except that we've passe the tipping point where that's possible, now.

Is a career in public service something bad in your opinion? That encompasses a lot of things.

Boomers caused both bubbles. They are the ones controlling the money supply and the interest rates and they are the ones that decided that investments should be made into various industries. And they are the ones that will soon retire and have the power to suck this country dry.

Didn't Generation X cause the housing bubble by taking out loans it couldn't afford? I think we should blame gen x on the current recession. Also, isn't it the soldiers who bore the brunt of the war? Those arent' gen xers either.
