Huh? Overpopulated means the current population is not sustainable. Now, maybe the current population could be made sustainable, but it currently is not.
Also, I like like how the "grown ups" in your scenario still believe in a cloud-dwelling deity and an afterlife. Nothing says "I'm an adult" like an imaginary invisible friend.
Clinton absolutely fucked up the dotcom bubble, Bush took the heat, inheriting the mess.
You're remembering it wrong. There was nothing to clean up, the market had already corrected by the time GWB took office. The housing bubble mess he left for Obama, on the other hand, took a while.
You're forgetting that this is "Too big to fail" Ford we're talking about. This announcement is like a welfare mother announcing she's about to buy a 4K TV.
People who can't muster the vertebrae to correctly observe that the US's general posture in the world is wildly preferable to Russia's...
You're misrepresenting Russia here, these are areas that have historically been part of Russia and are populated by people who consider themselves Russian. Imagine if 50 years ago Texas had seceded. Do you not think that re-annexing it would be on DT's agenda?
Also, bringing back jobs is good, but they need to be jobs that will be here for awhile. Like the Carrier HVAC jobs because, lord knows, we will be needing air-conditioning in the future.
Assange is obligated to protect his source. So if someone asks him if it was the Russians and he says "No", well, that means it was probably the Russians. If he had said "I can't say", that would have meant no.
You're wrong about that, CA has the highest teacher salaries in the US. It might feel that way when their neighbors are all Google employees but they're well compensated.
but would explain the regular hacking of wordpress sites
It's got nothing to do with stuff like this and unless a popular WP plugin is found to be vulnerable to PHPMailer + param injection (unlikely in my opinion) there won't be much damage. Wordpress is vulnerable in general because it's easy to scan huge lists of websites for exploitable unpatched plugins, and because admins don't keep up to date. If a node.js platform ever becomes as popular as WP you can bet it will have the same issues.
It's not true. Browsers only use 6 connections per host max to load assets, so unless you've only got 5 assets on your page it's faster to load jQuery from a CDN.
The main effect has always been to elevate the voice of lower population centers.
That may be the effect but it was never the intention. The intention was a compromise between those who supported a popular vote vs those who supported a president elected by congress. The founders never foresaw California or New York being strong centers for a certain party (obviously I would think).
I want to add my amazement at needing to point this out. Where is public school civics? How do we as a nation not know the purpose of the electoral college?
Well, the intention was that when the electoral college blocks the winner, congress would choose and they would go with someone moderate like Kasich. So no, it didn't go as intended in this case.
Except that the whole point of the electoral college is that electors can block the winner if they don't like the result. If you take faithless electors out of the equation, then there's no longer any point to having an electoral college.
I'm not a leftist and I didn't vote in the US election, I'm just someone with eyes and ears who isn't doing mental / semantic gymnastics to deny something we all witnessed.

They can make peace anytime they grow up.

The Catholics and Protestants aren't fighting now because they were allowed to kick the fight out of each other.
That's cute but imagine how it would have turned out if the Protestants got their hands on a nuke.

Well he at least knows that you have to catch them red-handed.
Hypocracy = Hypocritical Democracy? I see what you did there?

That teacher can afford the condo in Palo Alto easily... She just needs to marry a Google employee!

Torrent trackers? My piracy is mostly automated these days.
The number is 6 for most browsers. It doesn't matter what your settings are, nobody is optimizing their site for your weird setup.

Those penalties are unconstitutional, but they're minor and so therefore unlikely to ever be challenged.
Well, the intention was that when the electoral college blocks the winner, congress would choose and they would go with someone moderate like Kasich. So no, it didn't go as intended in this case.
I think that's actually the Electoral College working as designed and intended.
The purpose of the electoral college was not to screw city voters. It was to have a mechanism to block a bad popular candidate.
Except that the whole point of the electoral college is that electors can block the winner if they don't like the result. If you take faithless electors out of the equation, then there's no longer any point to having an electoral college.
Right, everything is a joke when you're a reality TV star. But when You're the President-elect, the things you say are real and have consequences.
It's not a partisan issue, it's a money issue. If you could find a way to grease politicians with solar you might see them change their tune.
