Yes, you do.

His/Her explanation makes perfect sense to me. Are you someone that never ventures out of the comfort of sites that confirm your biases?

Uh . . . what? Marxist governments allow for private ownership of property.

There have been quite a few Marxist governments in history. Like, a lot of them.

Here goes. It’s a great question because your two questions intersect.

Only non-essential personnel stop working when the government shuts down.

Fine with me! Internet slap fights with pussies don’t cause me any great worry.

LMAO - I think you’ve got it backwards. It was over for Democrats when you nominated Hillary and allowed Trump to win.

You can stop saying that because we’ve already been over that.

If that were true, then this story wouldn’t be here to begin with. It’s not like Facebook was the vehicle used by a foreign power to put a white supremacist in power or anything. So long as that ad money came in they could have reincarnated Hitler and put him in the Oval Office and Silicon Valley wouldn’t have cared.

If you say something interesting that I can fuck with you on I’ll leave it.

I don’t think you’re going to be hired at Google anytime soon.

According to you, there are no conservatives in tech (because the tech environment just won’t allow it, as you say), therefore oppressive tech should have never been invented to begin with.

Did your uncle pay you after you blew him?

OH! Someone on the internet said I had a little penis! How original! What an intelligent and creative soul you must be to play the most cliched card ever!

Sure you do.

Developing tools specifically for the purpose of monitoring people, and then seeing those tools used exactly for that purpose, tends to show you’re off-base.

YES! And I know you’re going to say that’s hypocritical (and it kind of is) but I do think that it’s strange that Trump claims he was being spied on. If that’s true, isn’t that Watergate-esque type stuff? I wouldn’t blame him for being mad about it, IF TRUE.

If tech is about progress and moving forward, it seems odd that many authoritarian regimes rely on tech to monitor their citizens and keep things under control.

Tell your husband not to start an HR department. Once you do that, all Hell breaks loose. HR is like a fire department filled with arsonists.
