Some Americans are helping out illegals, others are trying to help people who are more familar. I'm just saying that Americans care, and America has a system where people can do th…

Illegals aren't doing anything to help American stress levels (unless you're wealthy enough to employ illegals and enjoy the cost savings over Americans). When I try to find parkin…

Folks in Copenhagen don't care about everyone's quality of life, they seem to care about the quality of life for their fellow citizens. I don't see the Danish tripping over themsel…

+1. We should make sure that our allies get access to our best technology and weapons platforms and obviously we can commit to defend them if they can commit to defending themselve…

Colonalists and anti-colonalists share the same fundamental attribution bias of thinking everything Good or everything Bad is due to colonization. First, the Arabs took more slaves…

I agree that there's a cosmopolitan bias, but I'm extremely skeptical of the claim that journalists writ large are motivated by a sense of professional ethics and are exposed to pe…

We would expect parcel prices to increase with upzoing - land becomes more valuable if more people are permitted to enjoy using it. That's the behavior that encourages developers t…

I think any level of descriptiveness is fine as long as it's consistent. If a Chinese thief is an "Oregon Student" then I want a Chinese surgeon who saves lives to be an "Oregon su…

It's so weird how US mass media refuses to name/identify some offenders but identifies some offenders by their identities. If some black youth engage in gunplay the headlines read …

"Just following orders" was a valid excuse until the Nuremberg trials.

Yeah, but thrust to weight really matters too. I'd be floored if two Russian engines had anywhere near the power to weight ratio of the F-35 engine. But the Russian engineers are v…

Probably not at any scale beyond serial production, even then, there isn't a Russian powerplant that would offer the thrust/weight performance required for the plane to perform. I'…

I ain't racing to 60. I'm racing to ~120-140 and seeing how long those Teslas can hang with a machine that's optimized to go fast and far

Come and take it. Good luck chasing me in an electric vehicle.

Get woke go broke.

Agreed. What we're seeing from the thought police is a resurgence of puritanism. With various degrees of success, religions can put guard rails on puritanism with 'love the sinner …

they told me if Trump were elected we'd see open racism and they were right!

+1. Many of us working jobs we don't really have 'passion' for are doing it to fund the things we are passionate about. I really hate it when people talk about how they need public…

If they live in a place with walking access to a shuttle (and enough walking distance amenities that they don't need a car), they're paying a lot in rent. I wager you're paying mor…

>Aside from housing, cost of living isn't that different, at least if you don't have kids. Things you buy from Amazon cost the same. Maybe it'd be a different situation if I had ch…

Degrees themselves may not have much value, but the value of the degree is that employers can use them to offload discrimination to schools. Through disparate impact legislation an…

Maybe the ethopian air crews are deficient but the inferiority is only apparent when tasked to fly advanced planes?

It would be extremely irregular for an aviation company to give training / instruction to exclusive clubs. The reality is that occident pilots tend to be a cut above the rest of th…

It’s subjective of whether it was better or worse. We better get sex robots quick or who knows what’s going to happen when more guys are more frustrated.

Is this any surprise? Since early 2017 people have been alleging that the Obama DOJ was biased in the 2016 election in favor of HRC. Beyond shielding her from criminal charges and …
