- first of all you are a moron. Money is only a measure of wealth, wealth is production and it is up to individuals to produce. Without production there is nothing at all, including nothing to measure, which means production comes first as a matter of savings and applying those savings to create something. Money comes second as a way to save, exchange and measure wealth. Money may be a concept that is created by society, but wealth is the actual stuff created by individuals, you thieving crackpot.

- being rich in your mind comes from theft, you piece of shit. How about actually working for leaving, you waste of degenerate skin?

- a well functioning society depends on individuals willing to produce. The only reason a piece of shit like you exists is because of individuals who allowed you to exist by producing enough that your degenerate ancestors were able to maintain your life by consuming the products created by the people a piece of intolerable shit like you have no business even looking at, never mind stealing from.

- ha ha ha, you stinky bastard. Once your society dies by eating itself while losing the capacity for producing enough, you will become what your real call in life is: a crackhore, giving out blowjobs for crumbs under some bridge.

Yeah, people should move away from the paradise that the diseased minds like yours have turned the USA into. You are the disease that people should move away from, of-course the hypocrisy of you, suggesting people run away from you is overwhelming, so is the stink that you raise every time you open your fucking mouth. USA used to be the place people ran away to from the disease like you, now people will have to run away from you somewhere else, your advice is sound, your proposal is hypocritical.

Ha ha ha, the troll comes out of the cave. 'Social hygiene is pathetic and diseased', says the troll, whose entire history of posting consists of destroying exactly that, destroy the social hygiene and honest, voluntary participation. I point out that the resulting destruction of the economy and the society of his ideology leads the troll to recommend leaving the society he embraces in order to search for better opportunities.

They hypocrisy is one aspect here, but the fucking stupidity is even deeper than that. The reason people came to the USA originally was exactly the same reason you are giving an advice on: lack of opportunity due to gigantic government state and absence of individual liberties and freedoms. The stink that reeks from your stupidity is overwhelming. You do not exist without context, the context matter and history of your context puts a wonderful perspective on all of your comments on this (and the other) forums.

The context being that you are the disease that causes you now to propose that people should move away to keep from the disease that you are. Well, maybe that is the actual correct advice, I am not going to argue on the merits of your advice in this case, I happen to agree with it as well. But that's like Ebola disease suggesting to people to run away from it.

Nope, nothing to do with partisan this or partisan that, it has everything to do with your hypocrisy and lack of honesty.

All those words and yet nothing on topic, the topic being your comment, suggesting that a person needs to run away from the huge government system you love and want to increase in size just so that they don't have to be a slave in it.

Doesn't it go against your trollish collectivist theology? Moving away from a huge government system into a much smaller government system, basically escaping the system that you are so much in favour of - a system of collectivist policies, central planning, destruction of individual freedoms, incoherent unfair income and property taxes and policies, policies of theft, policies of the majority voting to steal from a minority and to redistribute to themselves?

It's interesting that you should be the one offering a person to leave that system in favour of a much smaller government and not because you wanted to spit some nonsense like 'go to Somalia', that the collectivists love to repeat.

Yep, when I was in elementary/middle school (late '80s / early '90s), there were Apple ][s everywhere. There was a big "computers in schools" push, grant money made it nearly free for a school to get them, so they all had them. I am not sure how effective it was at "improving productivity of the workforce" though.

- sure, but that's not failure of capitalism, it's failure of having government that is not capitalist but centrally planning instead. In a free society there shouldn't be such a concept as patents and copyrights that are protected in any way by any government body.

Correct, there has not been a tradeoff between liberty and security in our response to terrorism in this country and in our efforts to offer security to the people of the United States. What there has been is a complete and utter disregard for liberty and destruction of individual rights. Forget tradeoffs, the Constitution was abolished, that is what happened.

No, it just means that you are not actually doing anything of any importance or interest.

- ha, if by one step from 'anarchy' you mean the Federal Reserve bank, the IRS, FDA, EPA, FCC, FBI, FDIC, DHS, FHA, departments of agriculture, business, interior, education, health care, labour, etc. Sure, 1 step being 99% of what governments (federal and state and municipal) do.

Actually very few really understand how it works today, which is why it will not be fixed, because the way that people think they understand it is wrong, they don't see the actual problem so the solution cannot be understood if people don't understand the problem in the first place.

Sounds like Ted Cruz!

And of course, if a number of large employers all suddenly congregated in Austin, of course land prices would go up, salaries go up, etc.

That's definitely happening... Austin 10 years ago was cheap, now it is merely "not as expensive", especially if you don't want a long commute from the suburbs (Austin has horrible traffic, so I don't recommend that). Central areas of the city have prices in the $400-600k range. Fancy areas, like West Austin, are pushing $1m.

They still have millions of subscribers, too. Much of the U.S. doesn't have broadband coverage, or only expensive/shitty broadband coverage.
