If anything I’m sure Republicans would rather we require welfare recipients to undertake a boot camp program to force them into the labor force. This seems right up the alley.

I’m all for folks dropping or opting out and making their own way, that’s what I did as a drop out a good 15 years ago. I still think there is a certain point to the anti-intellect…

It’s a perfectly legitimate source, the only problem is your personal political disagreements with them. Do better.

Spring of a decade plus ago was fine, it just required a day or two of upstart to configure the whole deal if you weren’t already familiar and had a good project to reference as a …

I’ve seen cases over the years where doctors irreparably maim a patient requiring a lifetime of expensive professional services and home care, are set a fair judgement meant to cov…

Socialist != Communist Just as all the Hacker News fellated Democrat-Socialist utopias of current Europe are not Communist.

Suppressors are only Federally legal with a tax stamp, typically acquired with a “Form 1” self manufacture or a Form 4” transfer (purchase) along with a $200 tax for the stamp, per…

> opt out of providing stuff for poor people to make a political point. I would certainly hope my state isn’t giving out tax-payer funded luxury stoves. There is no such thing as “…

They may both be richer than you (they’re certainly richer than I), but they’re definitely not of the same class.

That garbage piece of writing completely ignores nearly 80 years of conventional history which includes first-hand account from the very Japanese council cited in the story. Absolu…

So how do we meaningfully sort groups out? I’ve been to juvenile prison, loads of these teenagers were out and out proud of their being in. They would happily manipulate and game a…

I was always under the impression that the glorification of Sparta started and ended at the battle of Thermopylae, the willingness to fight and die alongside your brothers in arms …

Easy, hire a partner-figurehead as a rubber-stamp and you’re off to the races. I’ve seen similar in Federal contracting, hire a tick-the-box preference point partner with a make-wo…

Thankfully we know #5 is false through a cursory examination of history. After all, the US Air Force successfully provided air support to our ally’s during the Bay of Pigs leading …

Technically correct, it was the US State Department and Congress (See: McCain, et. al.) implicated in the ouster of a legitimately elected Ukrainian president in what would most re…

It is more than a single year and this happened during the 1970’s and 1980’s stagflation era. Of course worse inflationary crises have happened in Western history and while they re…

Similarly, I remember the Snowbirds and Carpetbaggers excitement over the Yuengling brewery in Florida. Folks bringing cases home on trips. Something about those old times regional…

I work in one of those pesky HIPPO companies. For us, all of our AWS infrastructure up to including nifty shit like Cognito is HITRUST certified. For us, we get to offload an ass o…

In Charleston, SC we have a number of local groups that were German-American social clubs that were forced to abandon their native culture and affiliations to appease the mob. You’…

It’s a real shame what the mountain ranges and cold weather did to the North Korean people. Perhaps they could learn from Switzerland and casually handle sketchy wealth.

If only we had an aggressively socialist nation with a comparable demographic to compare to. Shame there isn’t an East Korea we could compare with and against.

San Francisco will simply become the new Detroit. It will still exist, some headquarters will still exist but the city proper will be the butt of a bad joke for a long time. Folks …
