I think you’re missing the point. Amazon pays wage earners jack, and they can’t make ends meet so they get government benefits = a back asswards subsidy.

Giving highly profitable businesses fully capable of buying and building their own offices tax breaks is one of the most idiotic things I have ever seen.

This is a pretty important idea. I don’t think the bill goes anywhere but it’s something a ton of people don’t understand. Companies are being subsidized and laughing all the way to the bank. Republicans respond that the social safety net is the problem and then keep up a narrative that the poor job creators have such…

Why am I having flash backs to Sex-Ed?

i think the reason i hate sidebar article call-outs & videos in between an article is this very reason - i find it really difficult to focus on reading an article when there are several others on the side, begging me to click them and read them instead. i cant be the only one that hates additional content being on the…

1) I don’t go to a lot of parties, I’m an IT guy. I’m the person who makes the party possible.

I remember replacing a HD in an IBM PC, I think of the 286 variety. We bought a 500Mb drive for just under $500 and were shocked we were able to spend less than $1 a Mb.

That bugs me too. I could see that maybe one time, a building that size might coincidentally come straight down. But twice? Three times? Something isn’t right and no one will ever convince me that 9/11 was just a simple terrorist attack, especially given all the evidence of our own government doing atrocious false…

Facebook is something I’ve opted out of entirely after a brief flirtation in its first year of operation. When companies I’m working with ask me “to friend them on facebook” I say: “As an IT professional I can in no way endorse or otherwise advocate any individual person’s participation in the Facebook Ecosystem…

Uhh... we USED to back Iran.... by giving support to the Shah, who brutally repressed and abused his people as a dictator.

I read the article and I have no clue what being a wet or dry man even means.  I think on slow news days, they make shit up to fuck with us.

Iranic.

The whole damn thing was swept under the rug. Barges full of evidence were shipped to China to be melted down as quickly as possible. The Saudi family was flown out of the U.S. during a national no fly zone. Witnesses refute much of what was reported during the attacks. Building 7 came down from a goddamned office…

Yeah. But many were found alive doing other things later. So fuck if I know.

This. Why is the first “answer” always to rush to ban something? Are we really so stupid that we havent figured out it doesnt work? We have an opioid “epidemic” so we pressure the doctors to stop perscribing. Suddenly the demand for street heroin skyrockets and people start dying way more often. So we crack down on…

Again, the burning question is not “Why does FB have this feature,” but rather, “Why is anyone still using FB?” Does anyone expect it to actually improve in some way?

Oh shut the fuck up, what part of the constitution do you think Dems violate exactly, huh? Articulate it for us. And before you say the 2nd amendment, tell us which prominent Dems actually said they would take away your guns.  But yeah you might as well stay home and not vote, the Russians will have you covered.

GOP - “we believe in state’s rights when convenient and primarily focussed on discrimination.  Otherwise, meh.”

I’m sorry, but what part of “attempt no landing there” do you people not understand?

“Air travel is arguably the worst.”
