    The problem is the fucking bubble, Facebook, wherein people log in and stay.

    Facebook is not a goddam news site.

    No, but close.

    Most gun deaths are by suicide.

    Next up is accidental discharge,

    After that, it's homicide by someone the victim knows.

    When Americans think about deaths from guns, we tend to focus on homicides. But the problem of gun suicide is inescapable: More than 60 percent of people in this country who die from guns die by suicide.

    "Usually, they outsource the low-paying jobs," he said at a gathering outside a school building. "But now they use H-1B (visa) and use foreign workers to replace the high-paying jobs. This trend is dangerous."

    ... the high-paying jobs are worth about as much as the janitorial jobs at the same school.

    When jobs can be outsourced for cheaper wages, it's a clear sign that the "good old days," are gone.

    The real danger is wasting time and money resisting change.

    Just fucking outsource those goddam jobs, for Christ's sake, and ramp up the education system to produce workers that actually work at doing shit that makes a lot of money.

    I have to think of everything.

    If we want higher than average wages then we need to do things that will get higher than average results.

    I think this is spot on, and I suggest we fix the education system.

    We don't have schools.

    We have day care centers.

    This, so much this.

    Talk about parallel universes ...

    As people scale up in cooperative business ventures, their sheer numbers create another person (see "Citizens United").

    As granularity decreases, so does humanity.

    Groups of people who become businesses morph into the most undesirable people on the planet.

    I mean that literally.

    The sleaze is supported by millions of good people pointing to the despicable collective asshole they have become.

    The golden idol is asymptotic CEO and shareholder wealth unbound by restraint of regulation, accountability, ethics, and morality.

    While the weight of shame and damage is enormous, the dark force is spread across millions and millions of people, each of whom can tolerate their own greed at the molecular level.

    We have met the enemy and he is us.

    Yahoo! started out as a search engine and instead of cultivating their core competency, decided to be a "portal," where a user could get the buffet for free (advertiser-supported).

    Meanwhile, Google stepped in and said, "fuck the portal," and nailed the search engine market.

    Google executive Marissa Mayer, the web giant's twentieth employee and first female engineer, pulled back the curtain Tuesday [Mar 27, 2012] evening to reveal why Google's stark white homepage looks the way it does.
