Drinkypoo is extremely ignorant of economics and accounting. Personal attacks and profanity are the best responses we'll get.

"yearning to breathe free"
That's the people we want.
"yearning to live on the government dole"
or
"yearning to commit crimes as a way of life"
or
"yearning to impose socialism / communism / statism"
That's the people we don't want.

To all those "Bitter Clingers" and "Deplorables" around to globe: Know that you are welcome in the USA!

Your ancestors in Europe had neighbors. Neighbors who were disgusted by your boot-licking, freedom-hating ancestors; and fled to America to escape your ancestors. And you demonstrate that you haven't gotten any better. We don't miss you, not one damn bit.

China is full of crap. Stop believing the propaganda. We're not isolationist, we want other countries to contribute to supporting the global status quo.

And where does the general fund get it's money?

100% wrong. It answers which fund the tax money goes into, but fails to answer where the tax money comes from. If you want to say state income tax, say state income tax. If you want to say state sales tax, a fuel tax is a variant of a sales tax. Or maybe you want to use lottery proceeds. But please state WHERE THE TAX MONEY IS COMING FROM.

All the value that US slavery built was destroyed during the US civil war:
1) Confederate taxes and spending on the war
2) Confederate inflation
3) Union destruction of southern property

Russia wins in large thanks to Generals Winter and Mud.
It's officer corps...not so much.

Or give The King's Speech.

It's not. The headline is clickbait. Apple is simply imposing a right to offset, which is normal when dealing with small accounts. Offset means: we owe you $1000, and you owe us $50. Instead of you paying us $50, we'll reduce what we owe you to $950.
Government accounts and large customers have accounting codes and other rules that make offset too messy to impose.

My, what an informed opinion!

You pointed out a correlation (skin color) and ignored the underlying causation (# of parents).

Almost every person in the TFA was a woman. The men:
1) the long dead, Mr. Pilates
2) a male influencer.

Also, men make purchases for women, rarely do women purchase for men.

Nevermind. https://news.slashdot.org/comm... makes too many valid points.
