    Any increases in the standard of living will be negated by an equal increase in the cost of living. Good intentions don't overcome fundamental laws of economics.

    Only about 20% goes to defense, a drop in the bucket compared to entitlements that already exist. Pretty soon we are going to have to reduce some wntitlements to pay for others. Not to mention debt service is already about 1/3 of what we pay for defense. That's only going to continue to rise.

    ...control is great. But what's in the hacked information? Its pretty clear what media including slashdot is doing here. Attempting to destroy the messenger while ignoring the message. Hackers are the new journalists.

    Actually it does matter what party the administration is. The BLS employs almost exclusively Democrats. There was not a single donation from a BLS employee to Donald Trump. This fact does not change depending on what party is in the White House.

    In light of the fact that employees at the BLS are overwhelmingly Democrats, that makes total sense.

    I think they like his promises which have yet to be proven false more than they liked Democrats promises which have proven to be false.

  18. Shelf stable milk in a carton is still pretty unusual in the US. So no, we don't.

    How has predicting climate catastrophe worked out for you alarmists?

  24. If Blacks, Latinos, and Women don't want to work in tech, what's the big deal? Why do we need to socially engineer that industry? Why don't we have the same concerns about primary teachers or nursing?

  25. Yeah, I have an improvement. I'll bring it to market in 20 years after it receives approval and all of Mylan's patent infringement lawsuits are exhausted. That's if I don't go bankrupt first. It's a fucking plastic syringe with a spring in it.
