  1. Re:Veil on A New Way to Learn Economics (newyorker.com) · · Score: 1

    If you take all the subsidies out of everything (green and oil), which is cheaper: wind/solar or gas/coal?

    Gas/coal is waaay cheaper.

    And, yes, green energy should have to compete against that.

  2. Keeping your own money is not the government picking winners and losers.

    Studies have shown voters know the difference.

    Aren't the libs supposed to rotate their accusations when people start catching on? I think this one is overdue.

  3. "You can't manufacture and assemble in the USA without it being automated"

    There HAS to be some automation in manfacturing. I don't want to buy purely hand made goods! Do you?

    Someone is paying incoming tax on that effort. Your assessment of how automated it is is from silence.

    "The manufacturing jobs aren't coming back."

    Although you appeal to raw cynicism the jobs have been coming back since Jan 17'. Your attempt to re-write the news here will fail.

  4. Which Scott Walker are you talking about?

    The only governor in US history to win a recall election?

    Who's going to pay for those teacher jobs? More teachers? More government workers?

    Please don't tell me you think that when the government allows you to keep more of the money you earned you are costing the government money in the same way hiring teachers costs money.

    Whoa, huh?

    Why did the USSR switch to the NEP (new economic policy)?

    Wasn't it because de-individualized economics was destroying the country and they had to abandon it?

  6. Re:Neither Marxism nor the free market works on A New Way to Learn Economics (newyorker.com) · · Score: 1

    Before Obama, 80% of people liked their health insurance.

    You can call that a failure, but ... seriously, no way.

    People in Scandanavia are much less affluent. Improverished might be a suitable description.

    What does Scandanavia produce? They used to produce cell phones, but nobody wanted to buy it.

    "free-market ideology"

    The free market is what happens when you take ideology away

  8. Re:Leftist on A New Way to Learn Economics (newyorker.com) · · Score: 1

    Offering curriculum called, "How to make everything free through taxation" doesn't scare me.

    What scares me is this is labeled as an economics course and presented to those who are too young to remember what it did to people.

    Global warming is not economics. The veil is thin here.

    +1 this. This headline is a lie. People will stop reading this website.

    Tell me more about this Republican named Bush.

    Never heard of him ...

  12. Re:What's a reasonable response? on Japan Activated Air Raid Sirens During North Korea's Missile Test Monday (cnn.com) · · Score: 1

    Not sure about equivocating de-escalation with good.

    Sorry, guys. Our nations population is now 5% of what it was before, but the diplomats are happy. Also the people who believe in overpopulation are happy also.

  13. Re:Scaremongering on Japan Activated Air Raid Sirens During North Korea's Missile Test Monday (cnn.com) · · Score: 1

    When WWII ended neither the US nor Japan was amicable with each other.

    We are well past the friendship stage now ... and well past the point of needing to retire that treaty.

    It served its purpose. Belongs in the waste bin of history now.

  14. outsider perspective on Is Python Really the Fastest-Growing Programming Language? (stackoverflow.blog) · · Score: 1

    I haven't written python in 5 years, but I remember pickling being cool and unique about it (esp as someone who does a lot of API stuff).

    Also it seemed like you could easily add modules that got a lot of very desirable stuff done. Comparable to .NET in that way and very different from Java where you spend more time on plumbing and ontology.

  15. Re:Keeping it as a hobby and nothing more on Is Python Really the Fastest-Growing Programming Language? (stackoverflow.blog) · · Score: 1

    If they're so easy to replace why are they often pulling in $90 - 120k ? Don't very many professions can claim that.

  16. hidden agenda on A Few Bad Scientists Are Threatening To Topple Taxonomy (smithsonianmag.com) · · Score: -1, Troll

    The current taxonomy exists to instill a feeling of intellectual superiority among Darwinists.

    Since Darwinism has been around so long and only 42% of Americans buy into it, I think we should keep this framework.

    And in general I have no strategy suggestions for how agnostics and secularists could improve on their ability to shoot themselves in the foot. I remain captivated in anticipation for how they will out do themselves next.

    Such brilliance! Such magnificent genius!

  17. You just don't know what you're talking about. I've heard MD's (i.e. not Sunday school teachers) echo the flakiness of patients having sex change operations. Aristotle said children eat rocks and sticks and do depraved things like become homosexuals when they aren't loved by their parents. Aristotle wasn't a Sunday school teacher either, btw (full disclosure: I am a Sunday school teacher).

    Puberty blockers are abuse. No question in my mind. The SJW's are messing children up because they don't know any better.

  18. Government doing MORE on EU Presidency Calls For Massive Internet Filtering, Leaked Document Shows (edri.org) · · Score: 1

    Those government helpers ... always helping us make correct choices about what we watch and who to believe and what to listen to and enjoy.

    Makes me just wish they had more of their fingers in my pocket helping me make more decisions.

    If only free market companies were so helpful!

    With attraction you have some control, so a little bit more fair since everyone can adjust it to some extent.

    Of course you might be able to manage the appearance of age, but if they can get to your DOB you can't do anything.

    Agreed.

    So rather than pay for nothing, let's just not pay for nothing.

    Although this looks like a very stinging thing to say, in the mentality of /. you are giving this fellow compliment.

    They just think there are too many humans on the earth and prolonging life just takes resources from the young, fun people and the government elite.

    Two types of magma:
