Comment I think they should do more of this to the USA (Score 2) 129

Trump won't understand the point being made by flip flopping other than thinking they are "tough" like him. He can't grasp somebody mirroring his idiocy to make a point.

So maybe not.
I'd say TACO but Canada is the one Trump treats the worst, even more than China. They can't simply wait for TACO.

The stupid freaks who left the tribe because they were better at running than climbing trees ended up evolving into humans. One can't measure future success so it's folly to control breeding; however, the idiots who remove themselves from the gene-pool should not be prevented from serving their purpose!

We have to stop letting idiots avoid risk of harm. Don't give them wavers for imaginary bone spurs; for example ( in his specific case, it was the diapers they were covering up for - which is why his personal doc was a specialist in that.)

Comment Re:Connected zero homes program? (Score 1) 58

How about we give the ISPs a huge tax break to fund doing this themselves? Surely we can trust them to do the right thing? We'll have some congressional review to keep them honest... /sarcasm.

So... lets use a private for-profit corporation to handle this?? With higher CEO and admin salaries plus obviously a minimum 30% profit margin just to be a profitable business; plus endless schemes to extract increased profits.

Some classes of non-profits should have higher % donated than others; but unlike a private corp, they have to disclose their overhead waste. I would prefer a government office to manage this; they have less overhead cost and waste than most 3rd party organizations; especially contractors, which are the cause of most government waste.

mental retards are not disabled!
They mentally still function. Their cognition is impaired in various ways to various degrees.

Visually disabled people are blind. Visually impaired people use glasses or can't drive, etc.

Retards; for short, literally are mentally retarded by something; which literally using the meaning of the words could be temporary. The amount of drugs you take can retard your mental function...

Fuck all you ignorant PC morons! Wish you could grow up... but a moron is unable to get past the level of a teenager, generally speaking. So I'm wasting my time; I'm not a psychologist or special education teacher and even so you may be permanently moronic. The whole medical term was created because people were too PC about the prior medical terms: idiot, imbecile and moron. A century later and history repeats but we're still dancing around on a new replacement term.

Comment Re:Wait until Wall Street (Score 1) 102

Trump raised rents before and he will do it again. The GOP has been attacking the middle class for a century; more now than maybe ever. Corporate Democrats are not good but if you can't see the difference between Trumpists and Conserva-Dems that are closer to traditional Republicans then you are blinded by the hype... Cognitively impaired by a cult-like religious dogma... in a word, a Trumptard.

Reality has a liberal bias; or pedophile bias, or communist bias... whatever slur the delusional retards have floating around their empty minds at the time their delusions are under attack. Doesn't have to be truth, just contradicting their narrative.... Most people seem suckered into the idea everything is a narrative like truth doesn't exist because everything has bias; even the unbiased have a perceived bias due to biased interpretation. Science, which is the uncovering actual reality is under assault, along with reason which seems to have died 20 years ago. Truth died in the 90s with the rise of Faux News and Karl Rove's theory of relative truth which he proved out starting in 2000 (I heard a lecture of his a bit after 2000 arguing there is no objective reality. Talk about post modernist...and later irony... nevermind.)

The information age made people more ignorant and gullible; as I predicted. Same with communication tech, social media... it all did more to undermine what it supposedly was created to enhance.

Comment How dare they! (Score 1) 41

I give the peasants more than they deserve and they should be grateful I don't enslave them! They love me; their office gave me a Christmas gift last year and I sent them all coupons for 10% off any 1 of MY company's products. I even gave them a retirement plan last year of some shares in MY company; much more wise than just giving them a raise! How can they be so ungrateful and betray ME their greatest benefactor?

None of your business. If a person is capable of doing themselves in and wants to do so, you can not stop them from jumping off a high point. If somebody is of reasonably sound mind, they get to choose if unable to carry out their wishes on their own.

It becomes complicated when psychology calls self-harm "crazy" making the person's decision irrelevant but the person to decide if they are making a sane decision should be the expert who makes the educated guess. Chronic pain is as foolish a rule as saying abortion can ONLY be done to save the mother. It's not your decision, you are not god; and your god isn't so powerless as to require your help.

Simply make the helper a government approved medical expert with a reasonable procedure and that will stop a corrupt official from murder with immunity... more than seems to exist for the police.
