But yet there is still truth in the expression:

"Capitalism is the worst economic system devised by man but its better than anything else that has been tried."

Yes, that's absolutely correct. And then studies were done that showed significant statistical correlations between smoking and lung cancer. If it turns out that 80% of the areas where this was done have sudden increases in seismic activity, then there is probably a connection. A single data point is not enough to draw conclusions.

If you have inmates writing code, there has to be a continual auditing process. Food in prison is a commodity. It’s currency. Dear Warden: These inmates have done your job better than you have. They have saved me, the taxpayer, your boss, money. If these guys can streamline your own systems, I really don't give the least damn if they can live like kings (to the greatest extent possible while locked in a government cage). Fucking let them!.

No, can't say that I'm claiming that. Why are you asking?

Abortion is another example. According to SCOTUS it's protected by the constitution. How are those southern states doing in regard to protecting that constitutional right? Or how well do you think New York will do in protecting gun rights if they didn't have to? The point here is that states will pick and choose what they want to implement if given the option.

And why do you think that is an issue with respect to regulation of radio spectrum? We don't get worked up over how states implement rules on jay walking or murder, for example.

And if that aspect of Obamacare hadn't been found unconstitutional, those states would be implementing that particular "standard" at considerable expense. But OTOH implementing standards for radio frequency use is a valid exercise of the Commerce clause and thus it doesn't matter if those states like it or not.

I can't speak for the earlier poster, but standards could be set at the federal level and regulated at state level. So yes, I do think that could be done.

Let the free market work its magic. Companies should start using employment contracts for stellar performers so that they don't have to fear them leaving for competitors, and the contract can be renegotiated every 2-3 years, if the stellar employee doesn't like the terms, they can walk when the contract expires.

Using dynamically typed languages should be a capital crime.

I'm doubting the accuracy of your MSNBC report. MSNBC is just as bad as Fox when it comes to selling bullshit, so I'm going to do more digging. On the first Tuesday of the shutdown it was reported that the FDA would still be inspecting everything that needed inspection because the establishment was already using that as a "we're all doomed" vehicle. I do know that CA had FDA inspectors on site at the company selling bad chicken before any changes were made to the shut down, which backs my initial statement.

I just used your own evidence to show you were wrong, I won't claim that MSNBC presented facts.
