    Mythic shut down recently. Well, technically they still exist on paper, but they're a shell of the former selves. It's a shame, really. Their technology is (was) amazing.

    "Foreign" here isn't necessarily tied to citizenship. They can reclassify US citizens as "foreign threats" as they see fit.

    Except it's not, because our interest rates are also in the same range as when their debt crisis began. Greece was fine at those debt levels until their bond yields hit 5%, at whic…

    Geece had to massively increase taxes and implement austerity programs, to say nothing of the EU bailout. Since then, they've been able to survive on low interest rates. Low intere…

    Surely two thirds, and rising, of young men being socially disenfranchised is a societal problem that should be addressed above the individual level, no? In the 2000's there was a …
