  6. This on The Luck of the Irish Runs Out · · Score: 1

    or I take my investment somewhere else.

    This is at the heart of the blackmail system. Either at the state level or the international level, the threat only works if there is unfettered, 'exit fee'-less access to a more corrupt/desperate 'somewhere else', causing excactly what they want: a race to the bottom where the cost of labor is roughly equivalent to that of air.

  7. I'm considering on X-37B Secret Space Plane To Land Soon · · Score: 1

    a new weapons-based space race that will leave the entirety of Earths' near orbit a useless no-go volume chocked full of hi-vee shrapnel created by the toys of US and Chinese boys who didn't give a fig about the consequences of their cyber-testosterone games.

    And due to the environment (weather), they are far more monoculture.

    They were thinking: 'look at all this money'. Windows = minimum level of comfort to clueless PHBs that sign fat POs. Ca-ching!

  20. Take away lesson on Swedish Court Orders Detention of Wikileaks Founder Assange · · Score: 1

    If you're going to shake the twin pillars of Empire and Oligarchy, best be pure as the driven snow.

    vast flocks of sheeple. What could possibly go wrong?

  22. Another race to the bottom on Rural North Carolina Experiences Data Center Boom · · Score: 1

    States competing with each other for the fabled 'big payroll'. Ignoring of course that promising to cut (or even eliminate!) taxes on companies if they would just set up shop in their neck of the woods will only last until the next sweetheart deal turns their pretty little corporate greedheads.

  25. The sickening thing on Internet Blacklist Back In Congress · · Score: 1

    about stories like this one is that both US political parties are more-than-willing whores to the Content Lords. The Tastycrats because they agree with them on other social issues and the Fingerlicans because they love them for the soulless, multinational corporations they really are.
