The constant espousing of Libertarian beliefs on Slashdot, SHOULD inform the gentle reader directly, on just how many idiots are here

The propaganda of the Chicago School of Economics has been terrifically successful in convincing most Americans that large products can be produced for less money (and same quality) by allowing for a profit margin

Of course it stands in opposition to all of the work created by the WPA, that is still in use to this day, but as an Atreides might say, "The PROFITS Must Flow!"

It is also widely disproved by the need for the US Blood supply to be managed by non-profit entities so that profit-inclined cost cutting does not kill Americans

Maybe the same way that they paid for the electrical grid and projects like the TVA and Hoover Dam

Not exactly red tape, more like electrical company recalcitrance to preserve their own profit base

What? Actually taxing corporations, and using the money to promote the common good by slowing global warming!?

No wonder the corporate lackey trolls are attacking it

I think that you fail to understand user moderation, there are no admins moderating articles

I was thinking ShitShow(tm)

My first thoughts were that this project has been removed from the public eye, and continues unabated

I would normally say that the consumer has the ability to boycott providers to get prices lowered, but that does not work when the government supports oligarchies that control access from most residences and workplaces

Um, wasn't Google Fiber going to change this? Whatever happened to that?

What a load of crap, just take a gander at how well "duh gubment" has taken over the Internet

I suspect that IF an AI was trained on 4chan, it's posts would be indistinguishable from yours

Schiff received a Bachelor of Arts degree in political science from Stanford University in 1982 and graduated with distinction. He obtained his Juris Doctor from Harvard Law School cum laude in 1985. Schiff was a member of the Harvard Law School Forum; his tasks included driving guest speakers (including William J. Brennan Jr.) from the airport to campus and back. He also worked as a student research assistant for Professor Laurence Tribe.

Perhaps "buffoon" does not mean what you think it does, oh... I just checked the dictionary, and they have your name as an example

Oh for fucks sake, we have a home schooled idiot here

Libertarian (or re-branded neo liberal) economics are designed to create booms and busts, because the wealthy always have cash on hand to buy out any start-ups (threats to their wealth) during the bust cycles

The rest of humanity (greater than 98%) appreciate the stability, and value for their work, that results from a well regulated capitalism that stems from Keynesian economics

Yes, rich people get taxed at a higher rate, but they still profit. The problem is that they always want MOAAAR!

Walkable cities are egalitarian by nature, The Line was designed to SEPARATE walking people by distance so they could never reach their betters to complain/kill

The idea behind the beach ball is that in any horror movie, it does not really matter what the monster is, because when you finally see it (largely before CGI) it is never as scary as intended

imo, it is a movie industry in-joke that has not aged well
