So. You have never run your own company. Correct? Because if you ever had you would realize you give your customers what they want. If you are good you give it to them 6 months before they know they want it. Seat belts were made mandatory long before their use was forced upon the people. So you had people paying more money for a thing they did not want and did not use. Car companies fought it. Of course they did. Their customers did not want it. When your customers want red you paint shit red. When they want performance you give it to them. When they want safety you become the safest. This is not voodoo magic wishing. It is business 101.

I for one want to see the stuff that I can not even imagine yet.
FDIC ensures that normal people do not have to pay attention to where they are putting their money. Safety of your money is not an issue, therefore does not come into the decision making process. When people do not care about the safety of their money they make decisions based on toasters and rates only. This encourages the banks to do what ever they need to to offer more free stuff. At the cost of safety. FDIC is what makes customers and subsequently the banks behave stupidly.
Just because you hate bankers (Most people do for good reason) is no reason to abandon reasoned thought.
If I own a company and I hire someone I can pay them as much as I want. If I pay them too much my company suffers. That is my problem. In the case of bankers, their salary comes from the profits of the banks and therefore is paid for by the people on the board. It is their choice. If you do not like the fact that taxpayers are bailing them out then take that up with your idiot, beholden senators and representatives. Tell those bastards you do not want to pay to bail out financial institutions. That you think automatic federal deposit insurance entourages people to not care where their money is.
But people are stupid so... Fuck those bankers. They make too much money!
There is no way for you to succeed even though those other guys did.
Vote for me to get free stuff from other people because you can not earn it on your own.
They have no idea what condescending asses they are being. They care little for the long term damage it does.
Freedom is important. In order to be truly free to succeed you must be free to fail. Insulating you from your failures restricts you from ever achieving real success.
The U.S. Dollar is on no standard. They are printing it like mad right now and the smart people are watching this and just making bets on when the fraud that is the current US dollar will be found out and it will get dumped and inflation will turn it into a fucking peso.
There are huge Corps that rely heavily on convoluted IP law to make a profit. More importantly Google would stand to profit greatly from IP laws that make sense. The problem with that is that Apple and Microsoft will pay through the nose to keep Google from getting that win. There is no amount of money Google can spend that Apple and Microsoft will not match and then some.
The people could stand up and demand the changes but it is hard to make the case to them that it effects them at all. People currently are very shallow thinkers for the most part and have no idea the costs associated with these bad laws and how much it really does affect there lives every single day.
The fact that you can not see the massive benefit that Google would receive with good IP law allows you to make stupid statements that imply that there stance against these bad laws are for image only. You can not make a statement like that and have any real grasp on the issues at hand.
So there you have it. A much longer post that points out directly how stupid you are instead of sarcastically stating how awesome you are so that those of us who can think can laugh at your expense. I have no hope that even now you can see your errors. So this is all really just a waste.

Because ones you pay for are better. That is why government is so expensive.

What I pointed out is that taking the safety equation of of the decision making process of picking a bank was a bad thing.
It is not.
The biggest part of the problem is that we as the people keep voting them into office and do not hold them accountable.
Can not have cars. People can run you over with them!

Just curl up in a ball and STFU already. Your life is over.

Look at high end autos. Lane departure warnings, heads up displays, adaptive cruise control, cars that stop before you know there is an issue.
When people care about safety the car companies give it to them. Period. It just makes good business sense.
Kill FDIC.

We have exactly the government we currently deserve.
and since that has happened many times in the past I fail to see what the fuck we think we are going to do about it.

You would be saddened if you became fully aware of the percentage of voting adults in the US that could say those things and not be a troll.
You can not do it without help.
You need government protections to succeed.
There is no way for you to succeed even though those other guys did.

If they wanted to make changes why not just give us really good Unicode support.
Fuck Beta.

are you assuming the first payments will be going towards gender-reassignment surgery?
Hell no! Isn't the State responsible to pay for that surgery? After all it is a right to be happy all the time for free is it not?
