    Without lawyers extorting money from the landlord? How is that possible?

    They could do like most everyone else and just, you know, follow the law.

    That's what Trump keeps saying about Mexicans. Is obeying laws right for some people and wrong for others?

    So let's have meal breaks -- without lawyers extorting millions of dollars.

    Yes. Pretending like every trivial thing is a right -- and enforcing it by transferring money from productive enterprises to lawyers -- is bad for (productive) business.

    This is a big part of the reason why California is the worst state in the US to do business.

    It's certainly not news. News is when something happens and you tell people, not when some excitable, self-involved people imagine something might happen and tell a story about what it might be like.

    That's certainly moving the goalposts. Now it's "warmer on aggregate". Before it was droughts, floods, hurricanes, no arctic ice, no snow in England or New York, mass extinctions, 100 meter sea level rise, mass starvation worldwide, point of no return, end of the world.

    Next time stick with "somewhat warmer on aggregate" and keep things scientific -- rather than dividing people into tribes to fight each other so leaders can gain power and wealth.

    I wish we could have had a secret Muslim who wasn't born in America as President for the last 8 years. Someone like that would probably have at least tried to pretend like he was serving as president of all Americans. He might have worked with congress to get something done and crafted policies to help regular people rather than trying to exclusively appeal to his most fanatical partisans and cronies. Some good might have been done as a cover for an evil agenda.

    People associated with the Clintons are prone to bad luck. It's just a coincidence though. The fact that the Clintons always manage to just barely escape going to jail proves they're honest.

    If you would like more ways Trump's win can be declared illegitimate, I'm here to serve.

    How about some ways for us to have a government that's not hostile to a huge fraction of the population? Got anything for that?

    It will require not demanding you be allowed to spend huge -- and always increasing -- amounts of money other people earned.

    This is just a way to declare Trump's win illegitimate. They want you to side against Trump on every issue, regardless of whether Trump's choices are good or bad. And they want you to donate money.

    "The other side are villains and tricksters. We will protect you from them. Give us your money and your loyalty." And whatever you do, don't stop being outraged long enough to think about things. Don't stop to consider that the others are people too and deserve a government that's not hostile to them.

    Twitter isn't a tech company. It's a 140 character message board. Were Slashdot and Reddit invited?

  21. The new rule for H-1Bs should be "no H-1Bs for jobs in high rent areas like Silicon Valley". If Google wants to hire someone on an H-1B, open an office in Idaho or Mississippi.

    If H-1Bs are good for America, then all America should benefit, not just the coastal areas.

    The point was that automation at restaurants and in food preparation is not news. It's been happening for many decades -- centuries if you count using millstones powered by a water wheel to grind grain into flour. It's a good thing. Arguably, it's one of the best things to ever happen to humanity.
