    Are you intellectually honest enough to understand there is a difference between a straw man and a straw man argument?

    When did I ever say you made a straw man argument? Although, I guess you happen to be making one now.

    Exactly. You made up a Boogeyman that doesn't really exist so you could oppose it on moral grounds to try to make yourself look good.

  4. I read the description... on Free Speech vs Billionaires: Netflix Streams A New Documentary About The Gawker Verdict (businessinsider.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    ...of this netflix documentary and laughed out loud. It obviously casts Hulk Hogan as the villian and Gawker as an innocent crushed under the bootheel of censorship. This is so far from reality and the views of everyone who knows anything about this story. It is very clear that this "documentary" 's purpose is solely to push an agenda. Complete and total crap.

  5. Yes. Go read the actual request the commission sent to the states. It should he readily obvious to those that aren't susceptible to brainwashing.

    You can call it progressive or commie, but please do not bastardize the word liberal so terribly. There is nothing liberal about them.

    No, Democrats want consumers. Republicans want producers. Makers vs takers.

    Lol. Right. The fed just happens to use interlending interest rates as the main mechanism for regulating the economy.

    Your straw man conception of modern Republican ideology was written by vox and think progress. It's not anywhere close to reality.

    Oh, we're not crying. We're just recognizing the obvious. The next step is to start with defunding. Left wing indoctrination camps should not have access to public funding.

    And then Walmart closes their store, and loses revenue. They aren't doing so great today, are they?

    Microsoft's government problems went away, because they became a dinosaur and the market created other solutions. Windows just isn't as important as it used to be.

    So Amazon increases prices to compensate for the taxes, and then the UBI becomes ineffective because prices have risen and negated the UBI. You can't eat your arm to keep yourself from starving.
