After they mismanaged the company for a few years, trashing our corporate culture and making all the employees miserable I found another job and resigned.

If you were an ethical person, you would have bailed as soon as the acquisition was announced.

miserable, judgemental jerk

Why would I be miserable? I don't have the taint of working for a criminal organization on my conscience.

Perhaps you lack the basic information that oxygen is the most abundant element on earth. It makes up close to half of the mass of the planet. We're not going to run out of it.

an insurance company that uses Accenture policy administration software

Would you mind telling us what company that is? I want to make sure I never do business with them.

I was a Senior Consultant at Andersen Consulting

Hey, thanks for the heads-up. Now everybody knows that you're not someone to trust.

Have you also worked at the NSA or any other criminal organization?

Andersen Consulting split off from Arthur Andersen before the SHTF.

Not before crimes were committed, just before they were discovered.

Andersen remains a pack of crooks, and hiring shills like you to spin the story doesn't change that.

"Accenture" is Andersen Consulting under a stupid-sounding name to try to avoid the stench of the Enron scandal. As an organization, they have always been devoid of any ethical qualms, and they should be ignored.

where would the oxygen come from?

Please tell me you're kidding. Did you sleep through plant biology in high school?

That's true of course, and it demonstrates that neither brand of the Ruling Party has any regard for the rule of law. That's why I'm for Gary Johnson.

That may be, but it's not an argument to settle for the one that gave her a pile of money, is it?

many Trump supporters, including several IN CONGRESS, have LITERALLY DEFENDED the idea of bringing back US Internment camps.

On a related note, a lot of Hillary supporters are big fans of the last US president who locked people up in concentration camps.

Can confirm, I'm against them both.

What I find hilarious is the way that the supporters of the Giant Douche and the Turd Sandwich demand that we settle for one of them because the other's too horrible to contemplate.

If that is the case, then perhaps we should catalog those sort of actions and determine if they counter-mind the intent of the system of checks and balances. If the population feels that they do, we should push for an amendment to prevent such behavior in the future. Until then, don't hate the player, hate the game.

I understand what you are saying here, but this is effectively a semantic argument. A government action is not officially unconstitutional until a court engages judicial review and declares it to be the case. And yes, it may be a court in the far future, but that doesn't change the fact that the operation is tacitly condoned until that ruling is made. If a future court did declare the things that took place to be unconstitutional, my personal opinion on the matter of the appropriateness of his pardon might change.

If so (and I'm not saying it is or isn't), it sounds like that's a much much bigger problem. We should srsly fix that.

Actually, storing hydrogen is remarkably challenging.

Much less so than it was just a few years ago. Today, you can make tanks to take 10K PSI out of carbon fiber instead of steel. They're surprisingly light.
