  1. How will they attract high-end talent to make movies that aren't eligible for Oscars? Netflix needs talent if they want to be known as more than an online bargain bucket.

    Democracy is the problem, there's a reason China is shooting ahead whilst India fails. Letting every selfish idiot have a say leads to ruin. There's a reason all the progress in the West right now comes from corporations run by dictatorship models rather than the democratic state.

    It's amusing how even the racism in the leave campaign wasn't self consistent, let alone their economic arguments.

    Because people voted leave for multiple reasons, many of them contradictory. Some voted leave because they wanted more Asians, some voted leave to get rid of Asians. At least one of these groups are going to be disappointed.

  4. When are the right going to take responsibility for their own actions? No-one forced you to vote Trump, you chose to do it.

    If the driver way paying attention to the road he'd have the headlights at the correct setting and would have seen the pedestrian sooner.

  6. A human driver would have been able to see the pedenstrian on the other side of the road because they would be using real eyes and not those crappy cameras. Really, the fault is the driver for driving a car with headlights that don't light up anything on the other side of the road.

  7. You can't just go from level 2 to level 5 without many millions of miles of real world experience.

    Then they'll either have to develop it on private tracks or stop developing it. The public have the right not to be guinea pigs in their inherently dangerous testing.

    The Euro has caused all sorts of problems in Europe, especially the South.

    I guess now the elementary school economists are out of the woodwork. Outside of hyper-inflation, when does inflation end badly? Inflation keeps modern economies working. You're a buffoon and a conspiracy theorist.

    If Snapchat is so complicated how come Facebook can copy everything they do in like five minutes?

    It's clearly no charity.... this is Discriminatory pricing plain and simple.

    Not exactly sure what your point is, unless you think ill people should not have entertainment.

    You are aware that the term 'meritocracy' was invented as satire? You were never supposed to take it seriously.

  18. Exactly the same.

    They can't make cars either. The few Model 3s coming off the line look like they've been assembled with sledge hammers, and the Model X is the least reliable car on the market. Their cars are riddled with problems that buyers accept because they're fanboys. Why even promise you're going to sell cars when you don't even know if you can make the batteries?

    And it's exactly that sort of control over your town's choices and economic life that makes many people absolutely recoil at the notion of EU-style nanny statism.

    Not giving special welfare to corporations = nanny statism? My god, the way you right wing lunatics tie yourself in mental knots to justify your contradictory, hypocritical positions is hilarious.
