You don’t do anything more important than they do, you just get more money for being white and male.

On the other hand, you’re bloggers who “Spend the Day Ripping Lines From Reddit,” so let’s call it even.

Nah, the Concourse can’t even hold a candle to Gawker. Jezebel is closer in tone these days, and funnier than ever, but still not the same thing. I doubt you’d be able to lure the same writers back to a resurrected Gawker, and why even bother?

Can I just rent it for a week when I’m on vacation and then forget to pick up fares?

I am talking about theft. You are probably liable if your child or someone else’s child climbs into your car and turns the ignition if you left the keys in the car.

Well no, it is still technically theft because someone took property that wasn’t theirs, and the perpetrator should still be held responsible because you know...that had a choice to not take someone else’s car, but yeah you are dumb if someone takes your car with the keys in it.

“taking money from the rich to give to the poor, through taxes, regulations, or guns, depending on their taste”

I’m not sure which is sadder, that people believe what you have written, or that you believe what you have written. Maybe in your mind it makes sense, but I can assure the rest of the readers it is mostly misinformed conjecture.

Admiral Ross was neither a traitor nor incompetent.

Personally, I mourn for the dodo bird. If only they hadn’t tasted so good, the sailors might have shown some restraint and not eaten them into extinction. (Then again, you exist on a diet of salt meat and hardtack and pretty much anything looks good. Even out-of-date Twinkies or week-old pizza. Maybe even rhino.)

honestly, it’s not.

Very interesting on the butcher front, as it seems to be where animal-human crossover of diseases was mostly likely to occur or where pandemics starts.

It’s okay, those who cannot afford a new safe car can just pile on an old used scooter and get splattered by an overloaded lorry.

Our private healthcare system is great, if you have the money. The private/public hybrid, where some people get public options, while most don’t is broken. We subsidize Medicare twice, once through taxes, and once through increased premiums and healthcare costs, since Medicare reimburses far less than private…

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: Big Brother is not coming from the right, he’s coming from the left.

Here we have an article about monopsony where the author doesn’t bother to define the term and probably doesn’t know what the term means. It means the market has one *buyer* for a particular good, the counterpart of “monopoly” where there is one *seller* for a particular good. (It is not “monopoly-lite, when one…

My childhood best friend started selling Plexus about 6 months ago. While she still has some non-Plexus posts, I have to read them very carefully (no way I’m liking that non-sense to promote it to other people’s news feeds). Sometimes even a cute picture of her kids will be muddled with a caption like “So glad I have…

Oh phew, you meant your girlfriend of your late teens, not your “late girlfriend.” OK! Mazel tov to you and your family!

Spot on - I was a collections agent for RentWay for a while. People rent stuff with no intention of paying and you are left having to do whatever possible to recoup the product. Their prices are high, but you need to take into account the amount of products damaged by the original renter as “revenge” for the…

You are basing your entire comment on an inaccurate premise. The founders weren’t trying to find a Congressional compromise in order to balance states with high numbers of slaves and non-voting women. They were trying to find a compromise so that small states had out outlet for political influence.
