I wish more people saw it this way. Where I live we have mutiple ISPs and as a result they each offer pretty good service. Competition is always desirable and we should be doing things to promote smaller mutiple companies that compete with one another instead of having these huge ones that monopolize on everything that they can.

Maybe have a flat sales tax on everything except food, rent, and other necessities? That way no one has to bother with those forms anymore and the whole process is a lot simpler and more efficient. It would also keep people from evading taxes as well since it is taken out on transactions. I have heard of this before and it sounds good, but I am not sure how great it would actually be in practice.

Capitalism may not be perfect, but it is better than socialism/communism. At least in capitalism there is a way to fix these issues we are having. The government use to step in when a company got to big, but with the government corruption we have today and the movement towards a socialist police state we are falling apart.

I am in the military and it is hard to say how I compare to civilians since I haven't had an IT job on the civilian side yet (I did work in manufacturing before I joined). However I can say that in the few short years that I have been in I have worked on a plethora of systems. Possibly more than I ever could have with a civilian job. Furthermore the military can be very demanding and anyone who has been in can tell you that. Also everything you do someone’s life depends on it so it is more stressful than anything I had to do as a civilian. So those few things right there are probably why companies like to hire veterans. Especially when you think about the fact that we have great experience, work like mules, and can handle stress far easier than most of our civilian counter parts.

I'd mod you up, but you already are at max. A lot of the flaws people point out are pretty easy to debunk when you think about it. Even someone in grade school could probably figure them out if they are smart enough. The best one I know is how people point out you cannot see the stars. Well of course you can't see them because the sun is out and the light from it is drowning out their light. Also people try to argue about the dust not flying up into the air and just falling straight to the ground. Well that’s because there is not atmosphere on the moon so obviously the dust has nothing to float around in before it finally settles. Which explains why it falls straight to the ground. I could say more, but like you said the evidence to support that the moon landing is real is pretty strong. Especially when some of the so called flaws is actually evidence that helps to show that they were actually in space on the moon.
