Yes it's true it's capitilism and the rigours of the market for the poor. And socialism for those with the money. Namely Wall Street and the banks.
Oh and speaking of the internet providers there's a whole bunch of them that successfully lobbied to keep dozens of communities across the U.S. from installing their own municiple broadband while simultanously refusing to offer them any service due to low profit margin.
I don't think that last one is capitilsm OR socialism, though. I think that once is in a class all its' own: Assholism.
I understand you now. And you are absolutely right.
FWIW in my opinion the 'propaganda machine' you speak of within the context of your reply is in large (but not whole, obviously) part due to what happened here:
Hopefully some day control of the national debates can be wrested back from the corporate parties and returned to the people. Whether it's the LOWV or otherwise.

Netanyahu?
Seems more recursive than meta to me. But then of course you don't get the same alliteration effect with that, do you?
I was reminded more of Windows 8 but maybe that's just because it's more current.
ie; 'invisible' areas of the screen that do things and you're supposed to somehow know they're there and what they do via some arcane icon

Americans seem to love their free market capitalism while it's working in their favour.
As soon as it's not then lots of government regulations will be required.
That may be the case but at least I'm not human!
Why humans should be allowed into the robotics show in the first place is beyond me.
Yeah and I'll learn something too since it seems the thread for it.
D'oh! Never mind I missed your subject line.
Makes perfect sense now.
PS: I wish slashdot forums allowed me to delete my erroneous posts.
To me that makes more sense the other way around.

I have no idea what your reference is supposed to mean.
Unless it's just some way you imagined is a valid way to invalidate the question.

Co-worker: haha I found your mug shot on the internet.
Me: Great now lets look for yours.
How can we do that if you don't give us the name?
Lack of imagination would be my guess.
No.
WE aren't but the drug cartels and law enforcement win large from it each and every day.
And anyway they're the people that matter so it's ok that way.
I almost wish I knew what you were going on about.
Perv.
Those of you who it doesn't are probably doing something wrong and need to hide it, right?
