Translation: "Tough shit. Deal with it and fuck off"

It doesn't even work in the short term. Forgiving $20M in medical debt doesn't even scratch the surface, and doesn't do anything to address the root cause problem, which is a privatized, for-profit healthcare system.

The alt-right dreams of such a weapon, but thank The Maker that the alt-right is too stupid to actually understand science or biology, let alone how to make such a thing.

You're missing the point of Liberal Arts colleges and the Ivy League altogether.

There's a formal definition of it that will limit the free money to large campaign contributors and well-connected executives.

The problem with science today is that the results depend upon which political party the scientist belongs to, because we've turned science into an exercise in confirmation bias.

The light from LEDs 200km away will arrive later than light from LEDs 50km away. You can blink them all you want, but if you synchronize street lights for an observatory at one location, those lights will not be synchronized for an observatory at another location.

Also, LEDs are diodes. They also happen to be diodes with enormous junction capacitance, which means they cannot switch on and off very fast. Observatories need incredibly long exposures. If the shutter has to be closed 50% of the time to allow LEDs to turn off within a 200km radius, observation becomes impractical.

Solving the problem of Byzantine government starts, not ends, with getting rid of the people who made it that way, and the system that helps them do it.

Yes, it will hurt, but that doesn't mean it's not the right thing to do.

The executor of her Estate has already sued to keep her in office.

This is typical of politicians - power hungry, self-serving assholes who will cling to power until their very last breath. She is a shining example of why we need term limits.

Remember that there are two factions to the "party of small government."

The one faction wants small government that leaves more decisions to state and local governments, lower taxes, etc etc etc. The other faction wants a small government because a dictatorship doesn't need to be large.

Yes, of course it was just blown off course. China would never, ever intentionally send a spy balloon over the United States, and it would definitely never have it linger for hours and hours over military installations, missile silo farms, or other places we wouldn't want people to spy on. No, hell no, China would never ever do that.

It's economical compared to the total cost of fossil fuel generation, when you consider the real cost of climate change.

Tuition started skyrocketing in the 90s when schools discovered that the Federal Government would guarantee loans way larger than the actual cost of attendance. The profitable thing to do was to increase the cost of attendance to that which the government would subsidize loans for.

The Federal Government responded to this by increasing, by a large margin, the amount it would approve loans for, to compensate for the "skyrocketing" cost of attendance.

Rinse. Repeat. The Democrats have a new Boogeyman, and the Republicans have a new "most-favored" cabal of wealthy donors. Everyone wins. Except students.

Dammit Beavis, yet another project leaves out support for Tandy CGA/EGA!
