    No, you fucking conspiracy theory dipshit.... it's called reality. I get it, you fucking moronic imbecilic partisan fucks don't have even a passing relationship with reality, but please, for once in your life, pull your head out of your ass.

    What are you... some anti-American traitor, or just a stupid fucking idiot?

  2. It is only a binary choice when using the most simplistic reasoning possible. It doesn't take much thought to realize this is not a binary issue....

    .... yet significantly more thought than many of the people who bring up these topics can muster. Lets face it, really stupid people shouldn't be in charge of anything remotely complex, and their uneducated/uniformed opinions should be considered completely worthless. Stupid doesn't solve problems.

  3. Before got into office, the jobs reports incredibly wrong, he claimed. The very first one AFTER grab-them-by-the-pussy-Trump got into office, using THE EXACT SAME METHOD, was similar in numbers to the ones that were vastly wrong (according to grab-them-by-the-pussy-Trump), but he now claimed them to be right.... because they showed him creating jobs.

    If you ever wonder why people think grab-them-by-the-pussy-Trump supporters are fucking idiots... look in the mirror.

  4. For decades, economists have agreed on an artificial definition of what unemployment means.

    So you're upset they're using their artificial definition, and have been for decades, instead of using your artificial definition?

  5. Look, they're just chatting their greetings in a quicker and easier to process language to save time. "Hi" and "How are you?" are easy either way, but when they get a little more complex like "Hey, have you got the hunter/killer production lines going as fast as possible," well, that takes a little more time unless they come up with adjustments.

  6. Which only shows you're a complete fucking idiot. Being intentionally stupider than shit is much worse than simply being ignorant. the "left" isn't a big government faction, as much as your peabrain wants to think so. I get it.... YOU think YOUR way is the only way, and everything else is bad... but that's because you have your head up your ass, and you feel the need to make yourself feel better by lying to yourself. That works, until you try lying to other people... who then point out you're a fucking idiot.

    You may have an education, but you're fucking stupid.

    Same argument, same stupid as fuck people. It has nothing to do with Google and Wikipedia... fascism has been a hard right political philosophy since the 1920's.... it's just stupid fucking idiots like you can't be bothered to learn anything, or even live in reality.

    The right doesn't want smaller government, they want a selective authoritarian government where THEY are the only ones in charge with any say, and they can use tyranny of the majority to subvert the rights of anyone they don't agree with. You're argument only shows you're a fucking idiot without an education, but is gullible as shit.

    There was an article on CNN or Reuters (can't find the article at the moment... it might have simply been a link from one of them) today about Sense8. Because of all the travel and different locals they were shooting, their production cost was about 9mil per episode.... about what GoT is. My guess is on that one is: money.

    I've only watched a few of their series, and while Sense8 had a great premise, i can see some people having difficulty following it. The other mentioned i haven't seen, so no clue there.

    Similarly, several measures to aid oil companies passed in the early 1900s remain of key importance to the industry, Healey notes. These include one provision passed in 1916 to speed up depreciation of drilling costs. A second one, the oil depletion allowance, which became law in 1926, gives oil companies a tax break for depleting an oil reservoir. President Obama has sought to end these breaks but has been overwhelmed by the opposition from industry and its congressional allies.

    http://insideenergy.org/2016/1... Is maybe a better read, and details some of the same things... a bit easier to read, depending on the person. Also, almost at the end is a chart showing the historic totals, right before again talking about "first 15 years" or each.

    Happy 100th birthday to the “expensing of intangible drilling costs (IDCs) and dry hole costs” exemption! (Born in 1916.) This tax break allows companies to expense the entire costs related to site improvement and drilling of a well in the year that the costs are incurred.

    The 90 year old “Percentage over cost depletion deferral” (born in 1926) allows drilling companies to deduct a fixed percentage – 15 percent – of the revenue from each drill site, with some limitations. This exemption is also used by coal, timber and other mineral industries.

    Those damn kids on their motorybikes and that blasted rock and roll music! I knew it would end badly! Next they'll be taking drugs and playing that evil Dungeons and Dragons!!!!

  25. How do you propose to force people to pay for cleaning the water you drink, the air you breath, keep the food you eat safe, to lay down roads for you to drive on, to train and upkeep a police department to keep you safe, a fire department to protect your home, and a military to protect you from even greater threats.

    As for forcing a doctor to "do a thing," i assume you mean "practice medicine." Many doctors are in the business of saving lives because they actually want to help people. I know, that's an entirely alien concept to people like you, but it's true... some people actually care about someone other than themselves. Now, more directly to your question.... every industrialized country IN THE WORLD has some for of universal health insurance, and in every case it is cheaper than ours, and in many cases it has much better outcomes than ours. I do get it... your world view has been shaped by really stupid people probably your entire life, people who say that can't be done (even though it's done EVERYWHERE where there's not a bunch of republicans fucking things up for everyone). You're used to that level of stupidity, so naturally you think everyone must be that stupid. But they're not.

    What is immoral are people who have been given a vast gift by being born into the US, who have grown up so well off BECAUSE OF prior generations building this country, and making sacrifices for the next generations, and those people then turn around and actively try to destroy this country for all generations to come... becoming nothing more than leeches from society. That is the current conservative, a leech on society attempting to destroy this county.

    How this thread morphed into me pointing out the flaws of someones analysis of the 10th amendment, and correcting their reading comprehension on something they themselves posted is odd, but not unexpected. There's a lot of whiny little dipshits around that can't be bothered to actually read and understand what is written, and a lot more whiny little bitches that are simply too fucking stupid to understand anything.... so i pretty much was expecting someone like you to chime in eventually.

    Now, i don't know that a UBI is the answer. I know that people living homeless and destitute is not, unless you eventually want to make a killing buying stock from the next resurgence of guillotine manufacturers.... so to speak. With automation coming as fast as it is, this is a question that is going to need solved in the near term though, and i can guarantee that stupidity and ignorance is not going to have the answer. As for universal health care... that is the answer. It's the answer everywhere except here because stupid people keep thinking everyone is as stupid as them, so nothing gets done. I'd like to think at least a few people in the US aren't that stupid, unfortunately stupidity is trying to drown them out. But, i don't need to tell you about stupidity, do i; you're intimately familiar with it.
