    Thank you, well said. All these "armchair" economists think they understand the issue and throw out their spherical cow arguments...

  6. Our economic system is not capitalistic, it pay lip service to capital owners and values capital more highly then any other input, however at it's root it is warped into a manager centric system (oligarchy).

    I like netflix since the subtitles are always there, it remembers where I was across multiple devices, and I use a vpn to grab content from wherever they have it available.

  11. So, the lack of any logical extreme means the problem is imaginary, got it.
    Please show me the Jim Crowe era all black companies in the South, or you can admit your full of shit and more then money goes into people's considerations.

    Yes, that's exactly what everyone in a nursing home said before they got there. If you prefer a home nurse and other arrangements, you might need to up your savings.

    Ask me how I know you've never had a major medical expense. Must be nice to be healthy. Under our current system you lose healthcare when you can't pay for it, usually because your sick.
    So someone else is guaranteed to pick up the bill for the sickest individuals. It usually trickles back to the tax payers, after some healthy markups and middle-man fees, but enough if it gets stuck to other patients to significantly inflate the cost of their healthcare.

    If you've never experienced a bill so high that you have no hope of paying it, let me educate you. You have little interest or ability to negotiate and watch for double charges or exorbitant charges. Your not going to be able to pay it anyway. The hospital then recoups costs based on this bill that nobody is watching and those charges become the norm.

    There is nothing new about that, look at North vs. South or East coast vs West coast (setters not rappers). We also have a huge area that was founded as a religous utopia and still mostly identifies as a single religious block, Utah. The melting pot is more about working in harmony then homogenizing everyone.

    Does your smart TV have a microphone or camera? Some do, some don't? Who is the manufacturer if you don't mind me asking? Samsung seems to be the most gregarious about seizing "rights" in their TOS.

  21. Ha, I've seen corporate efficiency. Spend every dollar so our budget doesn't get cut. Pad those expenses so we can get more money next year. New furniture with no employees to sit at it because we cut headcounts. Strategic decisions that force anyone who isn't brain dead to polish off their resume and change jobs, leaving only the cream of the crop (of dumbasses).
