Comment Re:Remember folks: it's only a problem when (Score 1) 110

It's extremely important for people to understand this: both the Democrats and the Republicans are culpable.

The right and the left are NOT both culpable. The right are the Republicans, the center-right are the Democrats, and the left are absolutely nobody you've ever seen or will see on TV except in a mugshot. The left almost entirely opposed this surveillance from the beginning. Those who don't are frequently the subject of the kind of infighting that makes the left hard to organize, and this nonsense proves that was correct to infight over.

Tariffs that never happen, that were just blustered threats, cost taxpayers nothing.

Other than these Apple exceptions, tariffs are very much in place. Including the 125% China counter tariff.

Good luck finding buyers for all those soybeans come next harvest season.

They're not going to use less electricity, they'll just build 20 more of the useless pieces of shit. Anybody with the money to build this kind of system is ideologically opposed to doing anything interesting or productive with it. They just see a way to burn oil faster and flood every last scrap of human existence with advertising surveillance.

Comment This will probably finally kill Amtrak. (Score 1) 152

Being on a train is infinitely more pleasant, but as soon as the sort of American that wouldn't normally considers them tries one, they will contribute to Amtrak's new reputation as being disgustingly overpriced and so slow that it's worse than useless. It only doesn't have that reputation now because nobody except people who like trains really cares about it.

Why do they crave to people without basic logic foundation operating on a premise "my interpretion of the ad is 'the' interpretation everyone should use"?

Yo *do* understand how ads are supposed to work, right? If a good chunk of the audience finds an advertisement off-putting, that's bad advertisement.
