If you voted for Hillary, she committed the greatest of all crimes during an election, rigging one. The whole thing, from Email servers, to DNC hacked Emails, to tarmac meetings, to Deep State spying was all exposing her for the crimes she and others on her direct behalf were committing (and some are continuing to this day).
The ONLY thing so far to come out of the Trump/Russia Collusion story is... Hillary paid for FSB sponsored dirt on Trump, the Deep State used that to spy on his campaign, and have lied and obfuscated to cover it all up (to no avail). And you're convinced Trump is the bad guy.
I didn't vote for the guy for a variety of reasons, but seeing the twisting liberals and democrat hacks are going through backfiring left and right only makes me giggle in delight.
Hillary is a lifelong political criminal. I'm glad she lost. Maybe you can nominate her again... I hear 3rd time is a charm.
And don't get me started on the word "FUCK", which is just about every word type in English: Noun, Verb, Adverb, Adjective, Exclamation, point of emphasis...
x86 isn't officially tied to anything. However, x86 is largely used to run Windows. The only major operating systems running on x86 is Linux (and all its flavors) and BSD (Mac). Linux is pretty much running on anything these days, and is TRULY not tied to any platform. Ever try to run Windows ARM?
Mac/Apple is kind of a weird place, as it is mostly a standalone ecosystem. My point is, that without Windows, Intel wouldn't be anywhere with x86, as other chips are better suited for specific tasks (running Linux). Raspberry Pi is a great example of Linux running on ARM, and presenting a functional OS. All for $35.
My point being, that Intel / x86 is largely tied to Windows. Not exclusively, but largely.
x86 is largely tied to Windows. Including the 386/486 base for all their future designs. Itanium failed because it was largely made for Windows, but nobody wanting Windows wanted to try a new architecture. Itanium was RISC processor, but it was still largely a subset of x86 (iirc) with 64 bit extensions. It also failed partly because PowerPC chips by IBM (also RISC) were outperforming it out of the box.
Much like I've said about Microsoft being not a "software" company, but a "Windows" company, Intel is not a Microprocessor company, it is an x86 microprocessor company.
This isn't to say that Microsoft doesn't make software for other platforms, because it does, but its focus isn't on software, it is on Windows. Likewise, Intel makes other chips besides x86, but its primary focus is x86.
I learned a long time ago in school, how Railroad companies got themselves into similar bind by not realizing they were in the Transportation business, by being focused on being in the Railroad business.
And they all have shorted themselves in the long run over their myopic outlook. And to be honest, ARM is in the ARM business, and will likely go down the same path in about 20 years.
It is time to change the responsibility from the victims to the people who allow fraudulent charges. If I don't authorize a charge, then it shouldn't be allowed.
Yes, this will make online transactions more difficult. There is a line between Security and usability that needs to involve more than reading a bunch of numbers off a card.
If One Billion people show up, we would survive. We would figure it out, and there would be a boon for Real Estate, and cheap labor. It would shake the status quo to its core, and perhaps break it in ways neither of us could fathom today.
If One Billion people show up, other countries would suddenly struggle to have any economy. People, are both a drain on resources and the most valuable of all resources.
If One Billion people show up, they all wouldn't show up at once. It would take a number of mechanisms for them to get here. It would be a huge stream of people, and we would add features to adjust priority in processing them at the border.
We would survive. Your comfort level which is largely dependent of status quo might change substantially. However, there would be a huge number of opportunities for new and existing businesses that could tap into that change and earn a good living supporting it.
The problem isn't the numbers, it is the status quo. The status quo will change.
There is explicit, and there is implicit. There is a whole slew of people who think that if you can sneak across the border, that you are entitled to live in America unmolested for any reason because "oppression". I would consider this implicit "accept all immigrants who show up" stance. It is largely why Donald Trump wants a wall built, and none of these other people want a wall. Again, building the case for implicit "accept all". And then there is the Sanctuary Cities. And and and...
On the Explicit category, there is me. I explicitly state that ANYONE that shows up at the border, and checks in (documented) should be allowed in*. Yes, I am a libertarian. I also want to remove the stupid policies and fake fighting over the (D) party who loves illegal aliens, and the (R) party who loves cheap labor and remove those policies from existence.
I realize that I am in the minority for stated opinions, but the reality is, there are enough people who already "want" it in some way or fashion, I'm just honest about it.
*Other conditions apply, but for simplicity sake, this is the basis for my policy.
There is no use of force to compel people to document themselves at the border. That is a voluntary transaction in exchange for crossing the border. If the US was forcing people to cross the border, and then documenting them in the process, that would be anti-Libertarianism. All voluntary exchanges are not prohibited.
If you don't see it as a transaction for proper legal entry, that isn't my problem, it is yours.
Suicide is a luxury of the well to do. When all you value is wealth, and that is taken from you, of course you're prone to depression and driven to suicide.
Life is a struggle, those that live in struggle understand this, and are able to cope. People who have never struggled don't understand that this world is brutal and nobody gets out alive. They don't have the skills needed to survive the struggle, and the world eats those people first.
Mexico doesn't care about Americans coming there to spend tourist dollars. That would be insane. But they have built a border wall on their southern border, while getting upset at the US for wanting to do the same.
As a Libertarian, I'm all for open borders, as long as you check in when you come here. Self Documentation at the border seems like the best solution, and would solve all sorts of problems.
I can decide what is reliable for my own world view. You may differ on that, as I may differ with your views. But I don't want to control what you decide for yourself. I'd rather be open and influence you, but control? Nahhh
Man cannot rule himself, what makes us think he can rule others?
There is no man worthy to rule over others. Some men are better than others, however all fall short. History is filled with stories of "good men" ruling for so long that they no longer are good, but bent by the desire of power and fame. The best men live quiet unassuming lives, who rise up during times of need to become better than they actually are. This is the reality of our own weakness. Those that think they can cure this are sorely mistaken.
History has shown that government repeatedly screws its own citizens if left to its own devices.
The problem isn't Government or Corporations, it is people will screw each other over if left to their own devices. There is plenty of literature that explores this in detail. Making simplistic statements of blame is easy. Finding a solution that isn't "We must do something. This is something. Therefore we must do it" is not easy.
Facebook and other Tech companies want to control the narrative. Once you control the narrative, you control the people.
The problem is, that once you start issuing controls on the narrative, it becomes easier to spot those controls, and even circumvent them. That is part of the reason why Facebook is starting its downward trend. People, even ones that might like the narrative, don't want to be spoon fed preprocessed baby food news.
Capitalism is an economic structure, but one that does not require a state to work. Socialism is also a economic structure, that uses the power of the state to control the ways and means of production, through taxes and regulation. Guess where we are?
Capitalism is a woman who wants to trade sex for money and uses it to empower herself. No government is needed. Everything done to curtail capitalism is based on some "moral" outrage of some sort or another, and that is the stepping stones to socialism, in which the moral outrage is unequal distribution of wealth. Who cares that the poor soul traded his last $50 for a blowjob? Why the socialist who is complaining that the whore is is now the 1%.
Yes, we also have a shit ton of laws out there that have no bearing on reality.
Keep in mind, I am a Libertarian and am for Liberty. There are a number of laws on the books that do not solve the problems they supposedly are on the books to do.
In other countries, you can be thrown in jail for saying stuff or even filming outside a courthouse. The reason for the 2nd Amendment is to protect the rights granted in the first.
We aren't other countries, we're the bastion of liberty for the rest of the world. And yes, that liberty is messy at times. It is better than a gilded cage of tyranny we rejected 250 years ago.

Try recovering from Identity theft (the primary reason is money!!!). You have to PROVE you're innocent.

"independent of the identities"

You are correct. Thank you for clarifying. They don't "Grant" rights, they are protections to rights that pre-exist. I worded my response poorly.
