You know what. I’m not going to die on this hill. It was a much bigger event than I perceived and I feel like this is more inappropriate than I first believed.

This is someone on the internet admiting they were wrong about the issue. I am human, and only have my own life experiences to fall back on where these things…

I’ll tell you what—try this in your workplace. Go ahead and propose it to see if you can get a willing party involved in a game that is sexual in nature. Oh, and make sure to involve your bosses and executives, too.

Sounds like one of those bullshit team building excercises where you get a shitty review if you don’t participate. So yeah there’s likely to be coercion going on.

I could see it happening if they had enough female employees to do it.

You seem to be ignoring that this kind of stuff happens all over the world. We have a president who bragged about grabbing women unwillingly by their vagina. It’s not just China bud.

Gee, the one unifying theme in all these was a dislike and mistrust of Hillary. Something much of the left agrees with. Someone remind me why the DNC pretty much anointed her as the nominee again?

In the comics, Swinton’s character is a stereotypical “wise Asian” character, which many people find offensive. Rewriting that role as a white woman removes that, and creates a role for a woman. And then, they wrote a new Asian role and cast an Asian actor. No Asian actors lost work, a role for a woman was created, a…

That house Asian thing is particularly bullshit when Cho has put herself out there as a critic of Swinton getting the role. It’s like, “I speak for Asians when I say we’re upset at you.” “Can you explain why you think people are upset about this thing, so I can understand.” “This bitch thinks I speak for Asians, fuck…

Cho has made herself one of the main voices of this debate and was publicly criticizing the movie and Swinton. If someone does that, they can’t then claim that if someone wants to talk about it with them that they are being turned to as the only Asian in the room. She has set herself up as an expert on this issue for…

So... Don’t buy anything. Got it.

Here is a required disclaimer to ensure my point is taken seriously and not dismissed as the ravings of some misguided Trump supporter: I voted for Hillary. I was not and am not terribly fond of her, but she was the objectively more qualified candidate and a demonstrably better human being. I don’t vote for…

TL DR - Your body isn’t ready.

You called it. She spent years selling a product that didn’t exist, not one that didn’t work as advertised. But in the process she filled the boardroom with former (and future, hi Mad Dog!) cabinet members to sand down some of the regulatory friction.

But here is the problem....to be in the fabled 1%, you have to earn around 450k per year

You think success was frowned upon in the 1950s, when the marginal tax rate was 90%?

To me, it looks like the wealthy are doing their part…

Why is that worse than today, when most people simply have no hopes of the tides rising?

Success wouldn’t be frowned upon under wealth distribution. People would love seeing people succeed because that rising tide would raise all ships.

And if you give a lot of poor people the opportunity to earn more money, increasing their demand for goods and services, then rich corporations will take their business elsewhere.

Yeah, but if you tax rich people at high rates, nobody will want to work hard to become rich or start businesses or create or invent. This is precisely why there were no rich people, businesses, or innovation back when the marginal tax rate was much higher for the wealthy.
