... and to Hamas

Yeah, but you see, from marketing perspective what sounds better? The Line or the Dot or the Pimple?
They had these 3 choices, they made the more sensible one even though it has nothing to do with a good or sensible city outline.

No, woke merely means not inert to the racism, misogyny, and white bias built into the culture. Being anti-woke means you would welcome Nazi-style clampdowns on countering that. Stop lying, bad for you, make you believe stupid things and follow leaders who have the attention span of gnat.

One just has to accept the Leech of China, a.k.a. the CCP. And you have to accept their boneheaded economic decisions like creating a housing bubble that crashed. The CCP officials are corrupt in a pay-to-play system.

Come to think of it, this latter is also true now of the U.S. I guess for all el Bunko's whining about China, he and his rich friends, now cabinet secretaries, were actually taking notes.

- market is a collection of all people involved, who is better suited to decide on what the value is other than all of the people as a collective vote?

- they are removing the money from the gullible, which may be argued is a better way to redistribute the money (all done willingly even though misguidedly).

- the market has already decided that the parents of heirs were productive enough, that even their heirs can now enjoy the fruits of the labor of the people who made the money.

- dangerous by what measure?

Milton did not do a rigorous analysis -- he was speaking off the cuff. With many more decades of data it is clear that a literal handful of notable failures are offset by hundreds-not-dozens of successes. Libertarians are like (and very often are) the Dunning-Kruger champs, listening to one fringe theory and putting fingers in ears when conflicting data comes to light.

Wot? Wasn't it Apple's CEO who presented la Presidenta a shiny token of support for being a Nazi sympathizer?

No flying cars, no vacations to the moon, no energy too cheap to meter. But god damn, at least we'll have superheroes running (or flying) around and delivering public service messages.

Not an engineer, I see. Some problems have multiple "causes".

Because the tax code is a worm-hole infested pile of rat droppings that only a politician could love, and all those "deductions" have to be recorded somehow. The easiest place is the taxpayer since they are the ones taking the deductions.

"that long erosion of empathy that religions have as cornerstones". If you mean the long erosion, then I agree with you. If instead you mean "empathy that religions have as cornerstones", wot? The Inquisition, the European religious wars, Islamic Pogroms (see Indonesia, Pakistan, Afghanistan, etc), Evangelicals, Buddhist massacres, etc.

Yes, those religions do have some empathy in their philosophy, and it is the first thing to go when they feel threatened or if they find something of someone else's that they like more than what they have.

It's weird how the Pedophile Trash always want to argue the definition. Sex trafficking of minors means pedophilia, you disgusting subhuman worthless kidraper.

The reason for the "huge revenue stream to the health insurance industry" was because they were mounting opposition to any reform. Obama felt it was the only way to get some reform. And maybe it was, but it had the effect of promulgating a stupid system where the poor still have a difficult time affording health care. And it gave the opposition that dumb talking point of "let the market figure it out". The market was what got the U.S. into the health care expense crisis.

REPUBLICANS demanded the date, and Trump promised to veto the law without it. Shut up and shoot yourself you Lying Treasonous America Hating Klan Shitbag Retardican.

This is false, you Lying Klan Fuckface. REPUBLICANS insisted on the timer and Trump promised to veto unless the timer was in the law. This is very clear from the record, just as clear as the fact that every one of you America-Hating Retarded Repukelikan Klan Shitbags is incapable of honesty.
