This.

One manager I know is Miss 80%. She used to be more hands-on, and mostly everything I've seen her build was half-baked. And since she didn't understand the 80/20 rule,  she didn't understand that cleaning up her mess would take a lot more than her initial effort. To her, everything was simple, because she'd really only done 20% of the work - the easy part.

Yet another zealot who think's he's discovered the One True Way, whereas all he's really accomplished is that he's easily replaced, which is what companies love.

(And btw, all these other languages are partly inferior because they didn't adopt Python's genius significant whitespace. Most language designers must be stupid to miss that!)

Republicans are obstructionists; remember the government shutdown? Or are you going to blame that on the Democrats?

Read www.dailykos.com/story/2012/09/04/1127557/-A-tale-of-two-party-platforms-a-choice-of-the-future-or-the-past and see if you still think the parties are the same. You'll probably say it's all words. It's true that a lack of spine and the Blue Dogs are hurting the Democrats among its progressive base.

Im from Europe and have had first hand experience with the health care system there. I had full coverage for anything needed and never had any trouble with it.

At any rate, keep on posting but I'm done talking with you. Good luck with your messed up country!

Please do your own research.

I just posted about what happened in Tennessee where Republicans rejected a Republican(!) plan to help 280.000 low-income people. Did you think the government shutdown or all the wasted attempts to repeal Obamacare helped the poor? Or reinstating medical spending caps and pre-existing conditions?

Please lay off watching Fox News.

We need the rich in order to  to innovate?

Right, all those people that advanced physics in the early 20th century were all millionaires.

Some accumulation of capital by some people is okay. But excessive wealth imbalance which enables more of it is bad for society. Who is going to buy the stuff the capitalists make if everybody is living on subsistence wages?

You sound like a shill for the wealthy.

The middle class isn't hurt by taxing investment income. The middle class is hurt by taxing wages, since that is its primary source of income. Investment income happens while you sleep and others work, and therefore we should tax the hell out of it.

You're right, it doesn't make sense that almost half the country would vote for people who want destroy them. But that's the power of wedge issues, and racism. And thus you get the government you deserve.

I'm not going to comment on the rest of your nonsense. Good night.

Sure, in lots of ways the Democrats are terrible, but the Republicans are far worse.

So you have terrible government, which seems to be a reflection of the apathy towards politics enjoyed by the majority of Americans. You get the government you deserve. That doesn't mean all government is necessarily bad.

Socialism as practiced in Western Europe doesn't seem so bad. At least they have decent health care. But of course the American system which spends way more and has worse outcomes is superior because Murikah, yeah!

You think Republicans represent poor rural people? Don't make me laugh.

I shouldn't have to explain this, but Republicans use racism, homophobia, abortion and gun-fondling as wedge issues to rally these people who would otherwise have no reason to vote for them, given that their economic policies consistently harm the poor and middle class.
