No actually. The case law does not support that. The fact that "liberals" will gleefully use this idea to suppress ideas they dislike notwithstanding. Once your private mall becomes the town square, rules for public spaces get applied to it.
It's like the old adage about TV being a vast wasteland. It's not. It's a mirror. How you view it is reflection of yourself. If you can't find something redeeming on TV (or streaming) then you simply never bothered to look.
Much of that is provided by the private sector. The best of any of that is the private version. There are very few situations where an actual government monopoly is the preferred or better option.
Even liberals that want to give everyone free hand outs fixate on the overpriced private Universities.
Even they fail to acknowledge that the more "socialist" options are even acceptable.
That's not too hard. If you're a family that's not afraid of guns then you've got enough guns and ammo for everyone. If you have enough ammo on hand for competent target practice, then you've got what liberals would call an "arsenal".
In places not filled with people afraid of guns, at least half the households in the neighborhood will be like that.
Fat and happy morons are whining about "income inequality" when they really have it very well. They have it so well that their inner animal understands it even if they don't. Commies in the media may have duped them but the wolf inside is having none of it.
That's why you don't see the US having a reign of terror.
Our poor people are suffering an obesity epidemic. They aren't starving.
That's funny. I know people in Canada and Germany that would like to take advantages of the things I can in the US. I wouldn't mind diversifying into those countries myself but find that it's entirely unfeasible.
This sounds like the sort of "study" that ends up directly contradicting the personal first hand experiences of people with actual experience.
If someone needs something, someone else will provide it. They will provide it because they can profit from it. They need to profit from it themselves because of need or greed.
This is FAR better than commerce being a crime for which you can be executed (communism).
This is FAR better than commerce being encumbered by rules making it impossible for new people to do business (socialism or cronyism).
Capitalism devolves if you're not careful. Replicating that devolved form of capitalism and embedding it in government is not useful.
Net worth and lifestyle have NOTHING to do with each other.
Net worth is orthogonal to income, lifestyle, and apparent affluence.
It's not just poor people that are ingrates. Most Americans are ingrates who don't know how good they have it. They also tell themselves lies about how happy the Danes or Swedes are.
> Living in Canada I find your land shortage humorous. Thanks for the LOL.
You should. Trying to live in a Canadian urban center is a royal pain in the ass compared to America. I was tempted to diversify my own real estate holdings up north until I looked into it. It's like being stuck in Manhattan.
Americans whining about housing really is quite hilarious.
Even if a rich person does buy the house next to you, he still wants to make money off the deal. He needs to buy it at a reasonable price so he can rent it out and not lose money on it.
A billionaire is not going to engage in mindless speculation than the millionaire next door. It's rube consumers that instigate bidding wars on personal homes.
Law and Medicine are much better professions based on this metric. These professions are also glorified by the popular media and have been pretty much forever.
Demographics reflect this. It's almost as if women have taken all of the hints given them and acted accordingly.
With all of the "jock hate" we get from the journalists, it's a wonder there are any women in tech or science.
> I'd tent to stick with fake news being something like pizzagate
Except it isn't.
Once you stop acting like a fundie and giving journalists blind trust, it's trivial to find examples of them misleading you or just making shit up entirely.
This is especially easy in this age where the media of the entire planet is at your finger tips. You can even use Google translate to read the bits that aren't in English. There's really no good excuse not to employ multiple overlapping news sources.
Even before the media's current decline it was always obvious that journalists didn't know shit. All it required is knowing about whatever subject they were writing about.
> Voters have direct control over who is their Government. The only way to exercise that same control over the corporations is to have lots of money and buy the result you want. Corporations are more dangerous, because we have less control over them.
That's funny?
Are you a Trump supporter? If you aren't, then why are you posting this obviously absurd nonsense?
At least in the market, I can find an alternative. There is no "alternative government". You're stuck with which ever one the morons that don't agree with you put into power.
This reminds me of the absurdity of Trump haters wanting desperately to hand him total control of a national health care monopoly.
I have been hearing this bullshit my entire life. I have been doing all the wrong things for my entire life. The only time my eyes ever became a problem is due to being treated for cancer. The treatment and resulting maintenance drugs gave me cataracts.
Although once those were blasted away, all is good.
Unless you were rich, you didn't even have to go that far back in order for TV to be a completely unsuitable distraction. Not everyone can afford cable. The same goes for what games consoles existed at various times.
Relative wealth probably accounts for lack of total penetration even with this particular story.

> GMOs are almost as bad as vaccines. Both have no place in modern society. We must save our civilization from these horrors!
Generally, GMOs only make your Twinkies cheaper.
They are no great benefit to mankind. That's just bogus corporate propaganda.
Most GMO crops are fodder for junk food.

I grew up in trailer parks and blighted urban working class neighborhoods and I would still take that over how most Europeans live now.
He's probably more concerned about money.
You can say "I dunno" and it won't cost you a dime.
No. The phrasing is great. You shouldn't be too full of yourself.
The WTF moments that scientific hubris leads to are far more likely to drive people to "intelligent design" then being honest with our limitations.
No. We're simply not as smart as we think we are. We engage in far too much scientific hubris and are full of ourselves.
We don't understand the universe nearly as well as we think we do.
Science is an iterative process and ultimately the current best guess.
Some of us "anti-intellectuals" recognize this for what it is and are less impressed by pronouncements from the scientific clergy.
Asians are "people of color". They just get excluded from this category when their success undermines the victim Olympics narrative.
You mean they don't conform to the barriers to entry erected by the dinosaurs that don't want to be forced to change or adapt to the customer?
Uber is much more efficient, effective, and far less likely to subject me to a driver that makes me fear for my life.
The dinosaurs needed an extinction event.

What evidence. All we seem to have here are bald assumptions and accusations. That is not proof.
You demonstrate the problem here with your own lack of intellect.
...or not.
Perhaps you just need to go further afield like an English speaking paper in another country or a news outlet that uses a different alphabet entirely.
It's fun when the conventional media tells you one thing and a speciality publication contradicts them with details and photos.

> Except that a tablet is not a sign of wealth. Entry level tablets are actually cheaper than many toys aimed at 8 yo kids.
Also too expensive. You clearly have no idea what it's like to actually be poor.
You just don't have it. It's not that you have it but you choose to squander it. You never had it to begin with.
I spent a month in the hospital. I took a bruiser of a laptop with me. It had a 19 inch screen and 2.5T drive space.
A bigger screen is pretty much always better.
