There’s a “double taxation” argument that people who want lower capital gains rates make. I think the OP was trying to make it.

Not only the increased investment, but if UBER knew (or even should have known) that it was acquiring stolen tech and withheld that information, then that could definitely constitute securities fraud, which would open it up to a whole OTHER world of (civil and criminal) hurt (at least it would have under the previous…

Another insurance guy here. Just think about this: the guy’s argument is that his supercar, that he rents out to the general public on weekends, is as clean as the one at the local Audi dealer. Um, no it isn’t. It’s a RENTAL CAR. If that ever hit the Carfax the value would plummet. He needs to take what they are…

Yeah, no shit. That flag means everyone in that convoy is advertising themselves as soldiers for Trump, not the country. Highly trained, heavily armed soldiers parading around in uniform supporting a politician. There is no under-reaction to this because they are deliberately undermining the credibility of the entire…

Better show support and give him a cookie for doing his goddamn job.

Showing support for a fallen soldier is one thing, and it’s expected behavior for a leader.

What does any of that matter? If they aren’t allowed to do it, they aren’t allowed to do it. Conversation ends there. It doesn’t matter who visited who, who died, who supports what party. With the utter lack of accountability in the executive branch, and the recent reports of war crimes and insubordination in the…

The story here is that a member of the US Military was promoting a personal/political opinion while in uniform. Doesn’t matter if it was a Bernie, Hillary, Confederate, or a LGBT flag. Who the hell cares what it is, it doesn’t belong on a Military vehicle.

i don’t know, guy.

Iran is to Iraq what the Soviet Union could’ve been to Germany if Germany had not been divided into East and West. Iran never got a stake in the game so they figured they would try and screw it up at all levels their influence could take hold. Iraq should’ve been partitioned into at least three states (Kurd, Shiite,…

Weird, I have yet to hear of any policies he plans on implementing but I definitely know they’re gonna be “the best plans, the greatest plans ever” so I guess I shouldn’t be worried?

Sadly, that’s not how the President race works.

That bomb would do next to nothing to this. It would probably toss it through the air a bit though. You’d really need a rather substantial shaped charge. Even then, you’d only cut a small hole through, ejecting some nasties back out the hole, but having very little wide-ranging impact. Still would cost a lot to clean…

Drink more. Problem solved.

Because it plays on a colloquialism?

Agreed, the hyperloop tube is a constraining dimension.

I think it’s more difficult than that. An author wouldn’t want to copy a fan theory and then get blamed for plagiarism or unoriginal work. So not only does GRRM have to finish the series, he also has to make sure his idea for a finale isn’t identical or close to identical with one of the numerous fan theories.

So it comes down to The Law vs. common sense, being stuck behind a slow car in the twisties for 15 miles till the next actual passing zone, stuff like that.

What’s “spot on”? Are you saying he has a total right to be a douchebag and do what HE wants no matter what? No matter that he lives in a social world with a bunch of other people?
