I appreciate anyone who has the courage to do this. I've done it before, and it's definitely hard. Congrats and I wish more people would stand up for themselves and others. It's al…

What people say in debates is irrelevant. The only thing that matters are their actions. People keep falling into the trap of listening to the speeches, but ignoring the actual pol…

TIL RealNetworks still exists.

Wealth of Nations is such a good book, I implore everyone to read it. I think a lot of people misunderstand what Adam Smith was about, and it's good to go back to the early ideas o…

I just checked and my actual words were "basically changed nothing", which to me means "made some changes, but they were inadequate".

I appreciate your passion, but Obama still didn't follow through with his promises, and whatever change he enacted wasn't enough.

Police accountability, inequality, corporate welfare, domestic surveillance, ... the list goes on.

Obama had 8 years (the first 2 with a supermajority), what's his excuse?

Just FYI, I was agreeing with the parent (and I agree with you). QE is free money for rich people, and a big slap in the face to the poor.

This is great, thanks for sharing. I would like to point out that it's still cherry picking, and ignores the cases where Democrats voted against sensible legislation. They supporte…

And yet the gulag is still there. It's a binary thing: either he closed it or he didn't. Clearly he did not.

You can go through the voting records an various bills and see how they voted, it's all public data. I challenge you to do it one day, and you can see the difference between what t…

I can't point to a single thing Obama did to fix the broken state of the country and politics. Maybe I'm just dumb, but my only memories of him are some speeches he gave about clos…

The Federal Reserve injected trillions of free money into the markets, so naturally they went up.

So what, we're supposed to wait 100 years for sensible policy? What are you advocating? Why can't we fix things now?

Instead of apologizing, I think people need to understand the system doesn't work. It is fundamentally broken, just like the police. Why don't cops go to jail for breaking the law?…

This is exactly right. At the end of the day they only answer to the people who write the biggest cheques and pay for the fanciest dinners and vacations they get to enjoy.

What you're saying only serves to support the argument that the tracking is wrong in the first place, IMO. Google doesn't have a right to follow everyone around the web and flex th…

Literally heard this story 100 times. Remember Obama and how he was going to change the world? The way it turned out, he basically changed nothing. Couldn't even get a proper healt…

Democrats and Republicans are two sides of the same coin. They both represent the elite class, and do not care about these issues. They've had decades to do something about it, and…

And now the DEA has been mobilized against citizens to quell protests and criminalize dissent. The DEA is now the Gestapo.

What Google is doing is wrong. That's literally what the lawsuit is about.

They didn't have helicopters, underground bunkers, and air force one.

For someone in desperation all I hear is further reason to riot and loot. Nobody cares about these people, and politicians keep going on TV saying how they're going to put everyone…

If you don't run a viable business, should your business continue to exist? Which one do you want, socialism or capitalism? In a capitalist system, failed businesses are allowed to…
