And in a country without food, everyone is fed because the population is zero.

It happened around the time when people thought having one dude called a king telling everyone else what to do was a pretty efficient way to run things fairly. Unfortunately, the "…

It's ongoing, and the US has had cases brought against it as recently as 2014: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compulsory_sterilization#U.S._... . While the more recent cases are les…

It's not a good chance at this point, it's the height of naivety and ignorance to assume that this isn't actively occurring. There's absolutely no incentive for it not to occur and…

I was thinking that this article showed signs of distorted "optimistic" thinking.

I would argue that the US is not a representative democracy, and that it does not have a free press.

I used to dislike typescript, until I was hired to write it. It has warts, but the benefits outweigh them, and you aren't forced to use the parts you may not find beneficial. I thi…

That it doesn't cost something. And, that anything that costs something must be paid for by a false choice between an oligarch and a tyrant.

Let me say in no uncertain terms that there will be a time soon when desk monitors and tvs will be present but not the main display, and their sales will drop at that point. To me,…

When your unfounded, conspiratorial thinking comes from AM talk radio, due to a supposed existential threat to freedom, an educated, informed, and well-spoken overwhelming consensu…

To give a real-world example of why this is problematic: my wife recently had surgery, and they had a follow-up a month later to remove a stent. Even though she was insured, a slew…

Why? Bezos isn't going to open any other videos from someone else. The US executive branch won't do a thing, in case the Saudis decide to stop buying US treasury bonds in exchange …

I just call it wage theft.

Smashing a speaker that deafens those around it doesn't inhibit free speech. Believing that building such a thing is an act of freedom is authoritarian.

Part logistics: if the US was the size of 1 or 2 states, it'd be simpler. Part incentives: can't get paid and will get fired for any time off. Part terror: the Police here are arme…
