Well I think the fact that the IRS did target political opponents of the administration is so obvious now that only the most steadfast supporters of the Obama administration deny it.
So which "political opponents" had their 501c4 application denied? That should be an easy question since it's "so obvious".
No. His ruling says that everyone can be subject to radar speed detection, because everyone is a potential speeder. So exactly how the police handle speeding now.
RSA has categorically denied that they cut a deal with the NSA. But Mr. Hypponen and the rest of the internet has declared them guilty based on unseen evidence. How is that fair?
Those are just the famous rich people that went to jail. The SEC fines the shit out of people all the time for things that are "too boring and complex for laymen to care about".
You should tell your ideas about the SEC being "regulatory theater" to Jeff Skilling, and Raj Rajaratnam, and Bernie Madoff. They will find them most entertaining.
Thank you. People love to point out that the US hasn't been to the moon in 40 years, like it's some huge failure. But there's no reason to go to the moon. There's nothing there.
Zuckerberg signed "The Giving Pledge" organized by Bill Gates and Warren Buffet. He promised to give at least half of his wealth to charity, either during his life or in his will. So he has no intention of spending that $40B.
You're not operating under the assumption that all rich people are evil and incapable of doing anything without personal gain. Most of the people in this thread are.
Brazil clearly picked Saab because it's a better choice, and then the President saw an opportunity to bolster his "I'm not America's boy" reputation at home. Well played.
Now if only all European countries showed the same level of responsibility
You don't think that every NATO country in Europe has been working side by side with the NSA for decades? The UK signed the "Five Eyes" signals sharing agreement in 1946.

If one company's enterprise grade drive is the same price as another company's consumer level drive, isn't it valid to compare them head to head?
You think that one guy 100 years and one guy 30 years ago warrants describing the entire current judicial system as "bought-and-paid-for"?

Wow. Two examples in 100 years, both resulting in punishment. Truly a damning indictment against the system.
Wow. You sure believe a lot of stuff that has no basis in fact. Good luck with that.

Or maybe he just has different idea about privacy than you and I do. Not everything involves a shadowy conspiracy.
by being declared completely legal by our bought-and-paid-for judicial system
Please provide evidence that any federal judge has received payment or favors in exchange for desired rulings. Thanks.
That's one way to defend believing in things that have no basis in fact.
The legal power to tax isn't useful if the people that you can tax don't have any money. Detroit's population has also shrunk drastically.

You have an unbelievable odd personal definition of "value".
Those are just the famous rich people that went to jail. The SEC fines the shit out of people all the time for things that are "too boring and complex for laymen to care about".
So every law enforcement agency on Earth is now "security theater"?

Yeah. I got asked the same question...in 2012 when the price was under $5. I said "no". Doh.
I've heard $44k, but your point stands. If you have sole use of a car, you're pretty much a huge baller by global standards.

That's fine. But how about not shitting on the people who are donating a ton of money to good causes.
This donation is 5% of his net worth. That's a lot more than pocket change. I'll bet you have never donated 5% of your net worth.
Can we please just let people do good things without being cynical assholes about it?
