Yeah, and it's super-fast and super secure. And it has a very long track record of excellence. https://lynx.invisible-island....

Racism is very popular with progressives. I'm not surprised they weren't bothered by it.

Why believe your enemies over your own?

Why, because I only have a BA in this specific field of study, or because you're using false superiority to mask your failure to assemble and defend complete thoughts?

The only thing worse than smug superiority is when it's utterly false.

Superfluous insults aside, yes the dead-man's switch makes sense and I'm sure it was predicted. It diverges from traditional doctrine by targeting civilian targets as well. Which does actually make sense if you're a fanatical Twelver Shi'ite. They have this unpleasant belief that they have to effectively burn the world down in order for their messianic equivalent to arrive, in a disturbing mirror image of the Book of Revelation. The Mahdi comes back, taking the place of the Beast, to usher in the Antichrist.

It's sad to see people side with their mortal enemies. You sound emotionally overwrought. Have you considered seeing a therapist? Be careful though, I thought I had a good one, but after being repeatedly sodomized I realized I had misread the sign.

I don't know, but I frikkin love the question! Maybe we'll luck out and someone who does know will see this and respond.

I mean, it's a damn good question. I wish I had asked it.

The hand may be invisible, but its effects are not. It is a common misapprehension that the self-regulation of free markets only occurs within the markets. All market participants are political participants. All political participants are market participants. Politics is how we allocate resources. Economics is how we produce and move resources. Why would anyone expect the clearly inseparable to be separated?

Well, the Cold War really. Before Marx, there wasn't politics and economics, there was political-economy. Marx trippled-down on that, taking it much further (a mistake). In our conflict with the USSR, we abandoned that unity to oppose anything related to Marx. That was also a mistake.

The Democratic-Free Market (or Democratic-Capitalist, Democratic-Market, Republican-Capitalist, whatever), political-economy works because the People as individuals have both political and economic agency. The markets shape politics as politics shape markets.

Where? Where are the majority of people impoverished? What's the scope of the claim?

Well, the scam calls I get don't appear to come from Florida. They sound like they come from India, but who can tell with phones.

The last few I've gotten have all been about Medicare. I'm in my damn 40's!

If that's actually true. We are talking about a regime that used children to clear landmines. Not by digging them up.

Maybe it did happen, but I won't take the IRGC's word on it.

And with supreme arrogance and grammatical poverty, you lash out with insults meant to make yourself feel superior, instead of simply saying, "Oh, not it was actually Nintendo screwing over Sony. Here's a link to an article about it..."

And all anonymously of course. I guess I wouldn't want my name on something so embarrassing either.

Why are you afraid to sign in? Do you really think my name is sabbede? It isn't.

If you think you're doing something noble in the defense of human rights, why aren't you proud to have your name on it? Why are you instead posting as a coward? You can't be both a brave defender of human rights and a coward.

This July it will have been 250 years since 56 men signed their names on a document that they knew would be their death warrant. An act of treason against the most powerful nation in the world, for which they would have been hauled off in chains and hanged.

You don't want a username associated with your silly remarks.

I don't know, did they? I don't really have time right now to compile a dataset for the number of congressional hearings regarding NASA in that timeframe, nor can I find any completed analyses. I would think though that given the amount of national and political interest, there may have been a lot of hands and eyes on NASA at the time. But, I could be completely wrong, I don't have the data.

What I have been able to find are claims that NASA labs and offices were becoming increasingly micromanaged by NASA HQ in DC, but that's not what you meant so I shouldn't even bring it up. Please forget this section, I'm not made of backspacing.

Which people are mostly wallowing in poverty?
