I agree that Bezos should have disclosed his links to the construction through Amazon, but I also think every single reporter for NPR, including and especially the one who wrote th…

This piece would be more useful if it explained what it means by winning. Early on, it seems to define winning as the amount of taxpayer subsidies going towards it, at least in the…

It was well known before Kimmel made his comments that the shooter was in a romantic relationship with a trans woman. Having said that, even if he did not know about that relations…

Yes but you're not a mind reader and you don't know how much of his firing was due to government pressure vs a decision he was alienating half the country irreparably - and I'm cur…

It's unclear that was why he was fired.

There's certainly a place for revisionist history and the Spartan legend seemed like a fair target even before Steven Pressfield's Gates of Fire, but it seems ironic to be skewerin…

Because he ruined twitter? Okay. I see you.

I agree with this but not everyone does. My argument here is crafted to those who do not understand why taxation is theft.

And what is he trying to change about society?

Okay what do you think his primary goal is?

Why do you not like him?

Okay. What are his intentions? Since you're a mind reader?

It's the most likely interpretation toe because it fits the known facts. Ungenerous interpretations don't make sense and don't fit the known facts. Musk isn't hiding his intentions…

In answer to your question, it is irrelevant. It doesn't matter how much money musk has, or you have, or bezos has, or the government has. What matters is where that money is inves…

The former.

Yes because companies are totally unchecked and there's no regulation at all and because of this we have governance that brings us Donald Trump and Kamala Harris and bullshit wars …

"Ignores" may or may not be a strong word, but it's certainly the most accurate one I can think of to describe what you did. You ignored it. As in you failed to account for what is…

Yes because the straw scenario you imagine, in your attempt to make a point using junior college sarcasm, is literally the only way to get legislation passed. Good grief.

There may be something worth investigating further, but that's not relevant to the point I made about the Guardian's journalism here.

It means that the Guardian is run by, written by, and read by people who are significantly more likely than other British people to be socialist or agree with socialist ideas. Is t…

That is a valid criticism but it seems like a criticism of Britain's health care system. When people and organizations can have access to free ambulances and healthcare and the cos…

The article mentions an Amazon policy to always call an ambulance when they find a medical issue. Seems to me the journalist should have told us more about this policy, as well as …

It's almost as if they're making their comments from a place where they are unable to read about these Chinese Navy military activities.

This comment ignores the facts of Chinese naval activities that many of their neighbors, including the Philippines, are wary of. You can say that US diplomacy is taking advantage o…
