Nah, last I read was 10-11 years to get our our act together before the irreversible slide. Also, I never heard of constant 5 years left by any legitimate sources by climate scientists worth a damn.

Also note that we are already in the cusp of climate warming and rising sea level affecting real-estate in the shoreline communities. Just ask Florida.

They are not guaranteeing trial by jury, which the constitution guarantees to every citizen. It's quite clear by how other whistle blowers are treated that they will declare some form of national security concern and deny him and process him through arbitration.

But you contradict yourself. You claim inequality is meaningless, and rich and poor doesn't matter because we are all vastly better off now than 200 years ago, yet you want a single payer system? LOL

Is this any different than you buying newspaper at the booth and have various agencies buy ad space in front page? What about highway billboards while you drive by? Honestly, this reeks of get-off-my-lawn rhetoric to an obvious answer.

They are both dictatorship regime. Any sub-categorization is meaningless.

Sure, Hillary should be in jail, but she's not the one in power now is she? Trump while denouncing Hillary, committed and is committing all the same as Hillary had done. Obstruction of justice, violation of emolument clause, willfully ignoring border laws to further political goals, violating Campaign rules, using private emails (surprise, surprise), the list goes on and on.

The fact that this got voted insightful means there are a lot of morons who drunk the trump-aide and refuses to see for what he is. But you got this one right: "if anybody else did the same thing, that person WOULD be prosecuted." Indeed, if Trump was not a sitting president on the forefront of executive power, he WOULD be prosecuted.

This.

Sure, some SJW element may have contributed, but game play is simply bad compared to the previous. Not only is it bad, but was released half-finished with full $60 dollar retail price that was halved not 2 weeks into it. The loyal fans of BF got shafted monetarily AND EA shat on them for bogus reasons of sexism, misogyny, etc, instead of admitting outputting a horribly unfinished game.

Yet, you make SJW front and center. Sure all these things contributed to BF5's demise, but if the game is bad, no amount of politically incorrect themes or historical accuracy will save the game.

"Guess what, LIFE is a gamble, with every decision you make. Nothing is guaranteed, everything is chance. Driving to work every day is a gamble that the risk of the travel will be worth the pay off."

Sure, but do you expect that you will be killed by a raging driver on a regular basis because there is no law against rage driving or traffic regulation at all? Or do you actually believe that collective drivers in a free society will spontaneously organize themselves to some unwritten rule in the absence because ..?

"It's also shitty parenting if you keep giving your kids money to blow on loot boxes. Teach them budgeting, you get what you get and that's it."

Who's going to protect the rest of us from actual shitty parents' kids when they grow up? Shitty parenting also begets thieves, murderers, homeless, and general undesirables. Not that all of them turn out that way, of course, but maybe for the sole interest of the minors, regardless of parents, that we should put in place a means to protect them (and us)?

All of your arguments devolve to: there's always going to be X, so laws against X is a form of regulation and therefore is ineffective and should be abolished or not passed in the first place.

Meanwhile in the real world, we pass regulations or laws that we reasonably believe will curtail majority of the problems and not toss the responsibilities to bad parenting or whatever Libertarian beliefs you hold dear to.

It's not all or nothing deal.

So sayeth the Trump shill. Here's a fact for you: over 90% of forest areas in California are federally owned and federally responsible. Let's say you are correct that forest lands were poorly managed, congratulations, you've won in pointing out crippled, incompetent federal agency under Trump.

"Those Wall Street people are working for us in the end.

Do you understand?"

It seems to me that you have no fucking clue what Wall Street does.

This is the reality in your free market situation:

You are disgruntled that you are not getting a proper treatment through your provider for the illness you currently have, often straight up denying claims or not covering illnesses that were specified somewhere in fine print in your 1000-page contract. You cancel out of anger and try to sign up for next competitor. The new provider deems you have pre-existing condition and deny you. You say, "oh, shit, I better go back, quick!" But then your previous provider denies you as well for having pre-existing condition even though you insured with them for decades before jumping ship. Now you solely pay out of pocket for exorbitant amount of money draining your savings and/or taking out second mortgage against your house OR you stay with your shitty provider that barely covers you. Few months in, now you're broke and declare bankruptcy.

You think this is a cool story? It happens to millions of people in US every year.

Except that Amazon is asking YOU to create potentially unsustainable, low-paying jobs and PAY for the "privilege" of doing so, so that they don't have to claim responsibility when shits hit the fan in their direction.

Sure we can. Corporations and their variations have special benefits and financial protections afforded to them as incorporated companies. They leave a gigantic foot print to the public infrastructure and services they use as corporations, often more so than the sum of people that comprise said corporations. They are also afforded military protections from our government when operating outside the country. All of these come at a cost, and they should be taxed as corporation, whatever that "fair" amount is. A corporation is also classified as a person by Supreme Court, which should've never been, and ever since enjoys even more benefits that are only meant for an actual human being.

Of course, you can take the position of stripping all of these benefits and not taxing them, but they still exert a significant monetary influence over policies and politics over an individual citizen in capitalist society.

"We tax "them" we're just taxing the people who are part of it and/or their consumers (which we could even call indirect corporation members, short term investors: invest money in, short term ROI: get beneficial product out)."

Some of this is ideal, but needs tax loopholes to be fixed. There is a reason why some CEOs opt to receive only 1 dollar per year salary.

"Taxing corporations is effectively a myth which just adds ineffective useless bureaucracy bloat. You can only end up taxing humans in the end."

In that same line of reasoning, taxing in general is a made up idea/myth/human imagination. How appropriate is that we impose mythical tax idea on a mythical imaginary corporation.

Then pass through he would have, until his passport was revoked.

Nice try.
