I've flagged this, because I think we should try to protect what we have at Hacker News. People here are very knowledgeable about start-ups and technology, but when it comes to intricate economics and politics, most, if not all, are clueless, which usually doesn't make for very interesting discussions.

I'd rather that we stuck to tech-centric news (or hacker-centric) instead of turning into an RSS bot for The Atlantic and what would otherwise be found in reddit's very left-leaning r/politics.

(Matt Taibbi is one of the best - maybe one of the only good - writers in this area, as an aside note. Frank Rich, Matt Taibbi, Glenn Greenwald, and Juan Cole is the perfect RSS feed for American domestic politics.)
