  1. While I have to disarm myself in your country. on US International Tourism Market Share Is Falling Under Trump (buzzfeed.com) · · Score: 0, Troll

    In the US, police and citizens are allowed to defend themselves - even against politically incorrect targets. In your country, they're allowed to roam freely to rape/maim/murder people.

    Trump is willing to call a spade a spade, perhaps your country should as well. But then that would require you to admit to the failures of multiculturalism and political correctness.

  2. With greater safety? on US International Tourism Market Share Is Falling Under Trump (buzzfeed.com) · · Score: 1

    Unlike the politically correct Eurabia, you're more likely to survive your trip to the US unscathed.

  3. Offset by general lack of terrorism. on US International Tourism Market Share Is Falling Under Trump (buzzfeed.com) · · Score: 1

    Unlike the politically correct nations that show baseless contempt for the US, terrorist incidents are much lower.

  4. Allegation, not fact. on Renewable Energy Powers Jobs For Almost 10 Million People (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    Well, he said he was going to embrace them, but your allegation is those jobs are gone, and gone forever.

    Natural gas hasn't really killed it, environmental regulation did. Remove it, tell the Sierra Club to pound the Sahara Desert into glass, and note the resurgence of coal.

    Job retraining won't do worth shit, since you make the faulty assumption that the people are defective and must be made to conform to business desires - versus businesses making do with the people we have. Second, it assumes that meaningful jobs will exist for those nearing or well north of 40 or with non-standard skillsets - as employers would only take them if forced.

  5. SJW Fail. on Imzy, the Kinder and Gentler Reddit By Ex Employee, Is Shutting Down (imzy.com) · · Score: -1, Troll

    I guess there's no real market for a left-wing echo chamber, but there's plenty of a market for for open discussion.

  6. Throwing education at them will not fix it. on Renewable Energy Powers Jobs For Almost 10 Million People (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 0

    On the other hand, perhaps working with the people that do exist would be a good idea.

  7. You're false on that one. on Renewable Energy Powers Jobs For Almost 10 Million People (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    Many failed candidates, especially Democrats, have openly showed their contempt for Appalachian regions while Trump embraced them.

  8. Which comes at the cost of environmentalism on Renewable Energy Powers Jobs For Almost 10 Million People (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 0

    While coal and other environmentalist-hostile industries are assaulted by regulatory burdens. In addition, the alleged jobs in suitably-blessed energy forms do not translate well to places favored by coal - which amount to an indirect assault on the Appalachian regions.

  9. Kill off the AI. on When AI Botches Your Medical Diagnosis, Who's To Blame? (qz.com) · · Score: 1

    First, remove the AI and have an actual human do it. Human intuition will pick up things that even IBM's betrayal of humanity won't.

  10. Only w/ fetters on environmentalist-unblessed jobs on Renewable Energy Powers Jobs For Almost 10 Million People (bloomberg.com) · · Score: -1

    Remove the fetters on environmentalist-disapproved substances and you'll see coal and oil jobs at more normal (and higher) numbers.

    Then again, that would not allow for them to show contempt for the Appalachian region, somewhere that had to be killed off for not accepting their ways.

  11. Which comes at the cost of environmentalism. on Renewable Energy Powers Jobs For Almost 10 Million People (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1, Troll

    While coal and other environmentalist-hostile industries are assaulted by regulatory burdens. In addition, the alleged jobs in suitably-blessed energy forms do not translate well to places favored by coal - which can amount to an indirect assault on the Appalachian regions.

  12. Ford really is doubling down on stupidity. on Ford Ousted Its CEO And Is Doubling Down On Self-Driving Cars (qz.com) · · Score: 1

    First, they detune cars and throw in a turbocharger, now they want to try making it blander than a salt-free cracker.

  13. Then slow down AI. on The Working Dead: Which IT Jobs Are Bound For Extinction? (infoworld.com) · · Score: 1

    Since it represents an existential threat with no real replacement, slow AI down to a human-manageable pace.

  14. Their crimes started with unauthorized crossings on Federal Agents Used a Stingray To Track an Immigrant's Phone (detroitnews.com) · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Their first crime was unauthorized entry into the United States.
    Their subsequent crimes (in addition to drugs) consist of such things as assault, rape, robbery, theft, and murder as well as crimes relating to unauthorized employment (which is both on them and the [nominal] employer).

    The country would be better without them, as the revenue would be replaced by an equal amount of jobless citizens/residents.

  15. This is the US, not your no-fun country. on America's Cars Are Suddenly Getting Faster and More Efficient (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    The idiots that hoon these things on normal roads provide one of the strongest possible arguments for a hard push for fully automated driving. Nobody (probably) wants a 4500 lb car rammed up their butt because someone wants to have fun. Take it to the track.

    The freedom of the open road cannot be had with a fully automated car. You might as well just have a different type of track. That type of control might fly for European nations and their highly regulated colonies, but not the US.

    Screw the track. Having full control of the car over the open road - whether by stick-shift, automatic transmission, or human override of self-drive - is how free countries drive.

  16. Re:"Halo" cars on America's Cars Are Suddenly Getting Faster and More Efficient (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    On the other hand, there are just as many of us who geek out on mileage (often just because we hate to blow money on transportation) so there's still hope for the planet.

    Yet there are many more that happily throw unwarranted environmentalism to the winds, seeking out the remaining bits of 6-cylinder+, deep-bass, highly-affordable Detroit muscle not bastardized (a la Ford) by the EPA.

  17. 4-banger golfcarts are not better. on America's Cars Are Suddenly Getting Faster and More Efficient (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    You can paint the poky I-4 golfcarts in any good light, but that doesn't make them any better than their full featured 6-cylinder+ cousins.

  18. They're illegals - not undocumented. on Federal Agents Used a Stingray To Track an Immigrant's Phone (detroitnews.com) · · Score: 2, Insightful

    There is no defense for allowing illegals in this country, much less the crimes they commit.

  19. Another useless platform like the others? on Google To Launch a Jobs Search Engine In the US (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 1

    What would make this any better than the platforms that just end up collecting resumes and returning void for actual jobs (save for guest worker fraud)?

    Would be nice to have the preferences:

    "Favor employers willing to hire long-term unemployed"
    "Favor employers willing to hire other 'non-traditional' candidates"
    "Disfavor certification or clearance requirements"
    "Favor jobs with low threat from AI"

  20. King Emmanuel the Panderer on French President-Elect Macron Urges Action On Climate Change (newsweek.com) · · Score: 1, Funny

    He's no centrist, but a royalist that panders to leftist causes.

  21. ...and cue judicial activist from 9th Circus. on Trump Signs Executive Order On Cybersecurity (techcrunch.com) · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Naturally, someone from the 9th Circus will come to oppose it.

  22. Since they can't accept that Trump won the election, they employ a convenient yet false scapegoat.

  23. Re:They're really pushing the Russia narrative HAR on Officials Fear Russia Could Try To Target United States Through Kaspersky AV (go.com) · · Score: 1

    The same people accusing Russia of being the culprit are the same ones responsible for his Soviet-like disappearance.

  24. Pushing the Russia scapegoat narrative too much? on Hackers Came, But the French Were Prepared (nytimes.com) · · Score: 1

    So you think that a court would consider documents of such dubious heritage at all?

    What are the political leanings of the judges, and how easily can they be bribed/intimidated by the establishment?

    The lengths the Trump army are going to try to deny that Russia wants to fuck with the Western Alliance is stunning.

    The only thing you and yours have is a narrative of Russia this, Russia that, and Russia killed your puppy.

    At any rate, the French and US elections are not the only elections the Russians have been implicated in trying to bugger up

    Allegations coming from the establishment left. They would rather see countries like France burn as long as they can keep empty suits in office.
    If anyone's messed with the elections, it's the establishment scared shitless that they'd have an actual leader.

    You have alleged emails claiming plans for the Islamification of France

    Look for yourself in France. At this rate, the only thing saving France from Eurabia would be a second D-Day from the civilized world - so that they can remove the current Vichy government.

    I mean, seriously, do you think the Macron campaign was actually making that kind of plan?

    At the very minimum, he sure isn't going to stop the invasion. He enjoys a level of protection that most French - including those duped into voting for him - will never enjoy, a fully armed guard.

    Le Pen won more than she did last time. Perhaps you should take King Emmanuel's advice about the election.

  25. Making excuses for King Emmanuel I of Rothschild? on Hackers Came, But the French Were Prepared (nytimes.com) · · Score: 1

    The establishment wasn't prepared, they're just making more hay to feed their precious narrative.
