Comment Re:why not crack down on the rioting protesters? (Score 1) 177

As with any theory, a Doubting Thomas' theory someone is wrong, that proves to itself be wrong most of the time, just implicates himself as the clown.

Your doubt less controls reality than the OP's un-sourced assertion. Request more info, or go look it up. Do not declare it should be considered false without additional info. Your judgment is proven wrong, and should scare you.

Well, regulations and the possibility of rent control being added to new construction properly scares away investors.

Politicians want you to build for them to take the pressure of limited housing off them, but also want the factional brownie points rent control and hyper-needless environmental impact analysis brings.

I say let the politicians rot in their own festering stew. California eased up on barriers to electrical plant construction after their running brownouts brought on by same.

It's possible strawberries taste like beetle wings rather than beetle wings taste like strawberries.

Many flavors you like probably evolved in response to various insects back in the primate days and earlier, back to the vole things that survived the dinosaurs.

Bacon tastes like worms, not worms like bacon. Or whatever that is. X 1000 flavors.

In decision theory, a partitioning algorithm that guesses 100% of a population is in one group, and is right 98% of the time, is in one sense a very good algorithm. It's useless for sorting, but it is very accurate.

I am fine with assuming the vast majority of people, and their lawyers, in this type of situation are useless leeches looking to get pay-ay-aid to go away.

Do you seriously think you would have an octocore Galaxy S6 in your hand if it were all government?

Go look up a Trabby car, as governments tried to keep up with the free west. And if not for the west, they wouldn't have even bothered.

I can handle Government Should Do More types, who look to safety and safety nets and such, but your type is found exclusively in cloistered areas of the free west.
