You mean like just about EVERY other major technical advance that humans have ever experienced? What are the odds that the human race still lives through it? Any guesses?
Regardless of what degree of consent the parents may have been able to give, the resulting children had absolutely NO say in the matter, but they now have to live with the consequences.
When did the children EVER have a consent in being born?
Eugenics carries with it the stigma of killing off the "undesirables", or having the state choose who may breed. This, while ominous, is more along the lines of choosing from among the many dozens possible combinations you might be able to produce.
Tariffs are idiotic and Trump is stupid for using them at all.
War is stupid, too, but it is much better than the alternative....being conquered.
Similarly if they want to subsidize their industries, we should import as many of those goods as possible, since it's the Chinese taxpayer who is ultimately paying for Americans to have cheaper prices.
Meanwhile, America loses all manufacturing capacity. Thank you for that.
Again with that lie. Clinton was impeached for lying under oath. The technical name is "perjury". And he was guilty of it. He forfeited his license to practice law and a got a $600,000 fine.
What are you other than a resource to them? Do you REALLY expect the CEO of your company to care about your granddaughters birthday party? I don't care about his? Or, anyone in the whole HR department, for that matter? I made an agreement to write code in exchange for a check every couple weeks. If they stop paying, I leave. If I find that someone will pay me more, I leave. If they need more code written, they need more resources. It really is that simple.
What I do have a problem with is the managers thinking I can work on three or four projects at once with no loss of productivity. That makes as much sense as thinking that you can used half a shovel of dirt for iron ore and the other half for copper ore. It is just a denial of how reality works.
Watson, and nearly every other AI you've heard about, are fancy sorting algorithms. I haven't seen anything that can't be replaced with a black box that has "FILTER" written on it in white letters.
China is renowned for manipulating currency and closing off their markets, and the US has HUGE trade deficits with them as a result. Does anyone disagree with this?
So, then the question becomes, "How do we correct this?" China isn't going to give up the treasure willingly. Whoever the President is won't get results by asking politely. You'll never win by trying to negotiate from a point of weekness. What other tool does the President hold to negotiate a trade agreement other than the threat of tariffs? How effective is a threat once you demonstrate that you are unwilling to use it?
TLDR: That was a long song and dance in which you tried very hard to sidestep the gp's central point.
What happens when the other country can produce the potatoes cheaper by over fertilizing and polluting the rivers, but you can't do that because of government regulations?
has been caught using white supremacist dog whistles in their documents and tweets.
We all laugh every time you leftists whine about dog whistles. It is literally a running joke.
Also, after white supremacists murdered an anti-fascist protester at Charlottesville (and attempted to murder many others), Trump refused to condemn the neo-nazis and instead said that there was "violence on many sides" and that "there are good people on both sides".
You're "peaceful" counter-protestors had surrounded the man's car and were beating on it with clubs, just like they did to many others and continue to do. What you consider non-violent is enlightening.
After what happened to Kavanaugh, you still question the wisdom of this policy? Just HOW was Kavanaugh supposed to defend himself against an evidence-less claim? How would Pence defend himself? Why does EVERY company I've worked for in the past 15 years have glass sections beside the doors on EVERY conference room? Yes, it is to combat sexual harrasment.
It is not "anti-woman". It is common sense. And WE are just fine with that.
I thought you leftist believed in democracy. Appeasing followers is what democracy is all about. And it was Obama who soiled the Constitution with his pen and his phone. Get a clue already.
The "damage" to the welfare state is not the same as "damage" to the US. China becoming "dominant" is a sad joke. A joke because it is hilariously funny. Sad, because you believe it.
Good Lord! Would you people pick up a history book? Slavery was rampant throughout human history. Western civilizations didn't invent it in the dark ages.

At US military academies, that is a standard course load for upper classmen.

Nope, not going to happen. I watched my father go out like that. I have options.
Exploited is a good choice of words...with the realization that you're not getting paid if you're talents are not being used (ie, exploited).

Indian restaurants never seem to be very busy in the US- Americans have a weird phobia about Indian food
Avoiding a restaurant where all the food tastes like various forms of swamp mud is a not a phobia.
I am a very food-curious person. I like to taste food from every culture I encounter. . . but, Indian hasn't made my list of "try this again".
Now we know how the sex doll wound up on that Ohio street.
Yes. You have the freedom to be stupid, if you so choose.
Trying to save someone from their stupidity requires that you make the decisions for them. They are no longer free at that point.
I graduated with a 4yr degree with $15k in debt. I worked full time to support a wife and two children while doing it.
You'll never be a movie director.
If the pre-cogs were seeing the future, why did they not see the pre-perpetrator being arrested before the crime was committed?

But it's a pointless white nationalist meme so let's stop repeating it..
It's not pointless when other racists are calling for killing white people, just because they are white (see post above), so it bears repeating.
Did you know that there are other supremacists other than white?

Sigh!
The budget was "balanced" during the Clinton years because the Social Security money was moved into the general account. There was no balance.
