>Unskilled migrants care for babies or the elderly, thus freeing the native-born to do more lucrative work. I'm sure the same argument was made in favor of slavery way back when it…

>> Mental health appears to play a smaller role than you'd expect For some traditional, clinical definition of "mental health" maybe, but to go on a rampage just because of a victi…

Yeah, I’m not a CIA employee, but even I use different passwords for everything and don’t store them in the clear. This smells like a government hit job from a mile away, much like…

According to “Let Trump Be Trump” by Corey Lewandowsky, _all_ major ad companies, not just FB, offered help in placing and targeting the ads. This is a standard practice if you spe…

Government can make locally made goods more affordable by applying tariffs on imported goods. Laissez faire globalization has utterly decimated the US middle class.

A Nobel Peace Prize laureate, Barack Obama, bombed 7 different countries during his 8 year tenure, and executed thousands through drone strikes in cold blood. His predecessor invad…

I wish I could support individual journalists somehow. As things are today I’d be supporting the status quo where the owner has complete editorial control, and the audience has non…

I wish I could send my 13 year old there for a month so he would finally see that education pays, and do his homework properly, and on time.

The accident happened on April 26th, and was acknowledged 36 hours after when they began to evacuate Pripyat, a town in the immediate vicinity of Chernobyl. As I said, it took abou…

That may have been what they said to the Western media. It does not necessarily match what they said to their own government run TV channels and newspapers.

I still remember the reports on TV from there at the time. Initially there was a flat out denial that anything happened at all, but once the scale of the catastrophe became clear (…

I know about those, but they are almost the opposite of what I want to have: instead of completely separating the two worlds, they forcibly merge them in the same browser instance …

If someone from Mozilla is reading this: I (and I suspect many other people who prefer to strictly segregate their “work” and “personal” data), would very much prefer if you implem…
