The point is so simple and straight forward I question your ability to carry on this conversation. It is bloody obvious what I'm trying to say.

The idea is that we have a problem, a stagnating economy, lack of jobs and stagnating wages.

The prescribed solution to this problem was tax cuts.

So if you still having large scale layoffs then it appears that maybe the SOLUTION is not quite solving the PROBLEM.

Instead I need to engage in this stupidity. This is like someone getting cancer, and someone prescribes snake oil solition, and I'm saying the snake oil doesn't work.

And instead some of you at the bottom of this thread are saying I'm blaming the cancer is due to the snake oil. How long do we need to do this stupid song and dance.

You've broken the site guidelines badly in this thread. Would you please stop doing this flamewar and not do any more flamewars on HN? Regardless of how strongly you feel about a topic.

Copying and pasting flamewar comments is a particularly destructive flavor of arson.

And you were responding to this thread. Which means you were citing Verizon as evidence of your point. Which people the completely correctly compared to anti-global-warming people citing snow as evidence against global warming.

All of your responses are blatantly telling the person you're responding to what they were thinking instead of considering that perhaps there are multiple ways to interpret things. You told padseeker that they were insinuating something when at best you could guess that they were insinuating something. If you're actually interested in discussing things instead of telling people what they believe or what their intent was, then I suggest not using this rhetorical device because it stifles understanding and conversation, not encourages it.

Vraxx I appreciate - Darawk it seems like you are interested in having a totally different fight. There's no point engaging with you.

It's overwhelmingly clear what he was insinuating. He's made no attempt to prove otherwise in his response to me or others.
