Why conspiracy theory? Why cant this be true AND automation/job loss also be true? These are not binary issues.

But is the scale important? The difference between a sledge hammer and a jackhammer mounted to heavy machinery are pretty astounding. Tools advancing can drastically change outcomes regardless of the objectives of old versus new tools being the same.

Is it possible to have a 27 state (or 50 state) situation that benefits all members equally though? History would seem to say no.

He means having a social safety net and ensuring that those who are less fortunate in life actually have healthcare (among other things).

I wish I could upvote this to the top of every thread regarding security.

You sure "nobody" likes Nazis? They sure seem to be enjoying a nationalist resurgence lately for nobody liking them. Even the President wont expressly disavow them anymore. :(

Are you mind bendingly high? Where did the DMCA thing come from? The comment is about people sending complaints to cloudflare and cloudflare sending their information to the site being complained about... This has absolutely ZERO to do with copyright.

>You can choose to eat healthy and exercise and reduce your chance of early death from obesity/health issues. You can also drive extra carefully, or take a plane, or not travel at all if you're that concerned about a car crash.

Since "Terrorism" is a political problem, how about a political solution? Stop going into Muslim countries and murdering women/children and tearing down governments with no plan for rebuilding? Be more cautious about what you do on the world stage. Stop bombing brown people just because they don't support 'American interests' and such.

Only in the past two years have there been more jihadist deaths. Not sure where you got 2x from? Unless you mean one particular year? You may want to re-read.

In reality the KKK has killed more people than all jihadists combined. That is one group.

Why would anyone want to go to a country like that right? Unless they wanted to work in Texas or something.

If you're going to profile and be proud... At least profile the correct demographic.

Perhaps they are confusing TSA with CBP?

Not voting because of being in a red/blue state seems to happen to both parties. A change to the voting system would probably change behavior and (hopefully) increase voter turnout in general. :)

Exactly! But this seems like a feature of a Two Party system rather than a bug? What happened to the Free Market and competition?

In reality. Yup.

Yet... Depending on how the rules of the game work the outcomes are totally different. Worth pointing out.

Parliamentary representation and more than two parties would fix things up a treat.

The majority of US citizens did not vote for Trump. Just thought I'd point out that most people DO NOT want this president.

Shoot first! Ask questions later! mirite?!

One bad apple (spoils the bunch). It is amazing how often the first part, but not the last, is applied to police officers.

Yet you'll happily repeat a bit of hearsay that is contradicted by in fact watching the video.

Or he'll ignore all (ok 98%) of his campaign promises while ruthlessly lining his and his offspring's pockets... You know... Either or...

(Hint: He'll be lining his pockets.)

Except you don't anymore... Remember Merrick Garland? Yeah. It has become clear that one side will completely stonewall the other side and celebrate by putting in place an extremely political pick (Goursch)

Please point out the graph and/or story that shows current startups raising the general standard of living for citizens in the middle/lower classes?

(No. They can ride in a freelancer driven taxi is not raising the standard of living.)

FAKE NEWS! WE'VE ALWAYS BEEN AT WAR WITH EURASIA!

You misunderstand 1984 bigly. SAD.

Politickz iz amazing rite?! :)

Meanwhile the US Military is taking discussing climate change as a threat to their mission: https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/military-leaders-...

I guess Conservatives are for lower national security though... Given that is how they historically consolidate their power.

What is the functional difference between 'deleted' and 'archived but not available for anyone to view' or is there one?

Falsified according to who? The many well known and respected researchers the Trump Administration has consulted?

Oh ideologues who want to score political points? Got it.

So... Having a valid US passport isn't enough proof of citizenship?

What do you suggest instead?
