Unless they kill you first. (Not condoning or desiring such an outcome for any of us)
But there are people out there who strap bombs on their bodies and kill non-combatants in order to create a better, more just world. (In their demented minds)
If the Germans were still Nazi's and were publishing cute little videos of gassing chambers then I suspect Google would be shutting them down as well.
I think Saudi Arabia is a hot bed of disgusting thought. The question is how best to deal with this (especially if we're dependent on them for oil). As dependency drops I hope that our government(s) tolerance for an oppressive theology diminishes.
Of course it would help if private citizens would not be so cowardly and not hesitate to denounce those branches of Islam that are willing to use force and intimidation to further their aims.
Sorry. Some workers will have more money but others will have less. You will pay more for your meal and have less to spend elsewhere. So what you have done is redistribution (may be a good idea or a bad idea) but what you will not have done to a much less extent than you this is to create more wealth in the economy at large. And, as often happens, you may actually cause a contraction in the economy.
If Minimum wage increases killing jobs is a ridiculous notion then why don't we raise minimum wages to $100.00? No jobs would be lost according to you and all other intelligent progressives and most of us (myself included) would get a huge raise.
Trump is economically liberal (big business crony-capitalist) and socially conservative. The Koch Brothers have been promoting more Libertarian view points. This may all fall under the Big Tent view of Republicans but they are not the same.
The Democrats have similar problems. They used to be the party of labor. They are no longer. Witness the Keystone Pipeline debates. A lot of labor which had previously supported the Democrats are now voting for Trump.
Trump is a populist. Weird but there it is. A billionaire NYC real estate developer acts like a populist and get support because of his populist rhetoric.
I must be weird but I consider 0.6 percent to be impressive. 4 more doubles and we're at 5% that is not bad. 4 more doubles after that and we're at 40%.
I spent time working on medical apps. The options increased dramatically under Obamacare. At first it was only what type of animal - now they're asking breed, size, and perhaps more. (I forget)
I've been in that situation. I must still be "haunted" by the experience as I always have way too much rice and dried beans at home. Nonetheless I didn't breed when I was in the position.
Still, I suppose the point is, as scarcity drops perhaps there will be less breeding. I hope so. I also hope we start actively pushing the idea hat breeding while in abject poverty only perpetuates the cycle. Breeding is a luxury.

Now you know why Progressivism is not the answer; and why property tax is one of the most repressive (and regressive) forms of taxation.
Why be an AC?
That is a rational proposition.

Or at 50. ahhh. Except for that balding part. Have little control over that - except for taking a razor to it.

How much of the energy is wasted on credit card transactions, keeping bank computers, ATMs and bank offices open?
wish I had mod points for this
well said.
1. How about producing less children.
2. Agree.
3. Agree.
But if we're going to have free people on this planet - why is decentralized money not important?
Yes a constitutionally limited government is MORE important. But decentralized money is still important.
Only a socialist would think that more government power would lead to individual freedom.

Did you forget that the other news agencies filed amicus briefs supporting Fox?
Why don't you look up the f**king case and see what it was about instead of talking out of your a$$.

You do know, don't you, that the Koch Brothers have spent millions trying to bring down Trump.
You sure like making stuff up don't you.
Notice that Ayn Rand was not for outlawing things she thought was bad.
That's the province of social conservatives, progressives and the rest of the control freaks out there.
Stop the bullsh!t.
What you call right is anything that is not left.
Left is what? Control of thought and all economicactivity in the government.
If you're for freedom of thought, speech you would not like living under a said dictatorship of the people.
How can anybody who wants to live in a free society what to live under socialism?
This crony capitalist crap we're now moving too is a result, the direct result of the rise of the nanny state.
There are two alternative solutions:
1. Criminalize more activities
2. Cut their budget
So far we have been opting for #1.
Welcome to the nanny state. I, for one, detest my SJW overlords.
Wahh! People disagree with me. Where's my safe space?

True but let's not forget Roosevelt and Breton Woods which effectively took us off the gold standard. Nixon ended the facade.

Yes. I've seen a few of those studies as well.
