More like, fuck him, he didn't even attempt to roll back any of Bush's power-grabs. Not to mention, he decided that he's entitled to kill American citizens without so much as an indictment, let alone a conviction in a court of law.
he is the President of the USA and for that alone deserves at least some basic level of respect.
Fuck you. He signed extensions of the PATRIOT act multiple times. He deserves no more respect than any other power-grubbing scumbag who ever held that office.
Apple complies with the relevant statutes in every jurisdiction in which they do business, and they report their finances on a regular basis. There is no fraud here, and Stiglitz can go fuck himself.
This plane's wingspan is only 151 feet. The Hughes Hercules has a wingspan of 218 feet. The Martin Mars has a wingspan of 200 feet, and it's still in use for firefighting operations in Canada.
There was a time when Apple didn't know how to run retail stores or make cell phones. When they decide to get into any line of business, they hire the best people they can, and they enter the market with a compelling advantage.
As it happens, Communist regimes historically have been rather vicious to gays. In the Soviet Union, the party line was that homosexuality was a bourgeois perversion that was unknown in the glorious worker's paradise they were building.
Compare North and South Korea. Compare East and West Germany before the wall came down. Compare Venezuela before and after the Chavistas fucked it up. Compare China before and after Deng Hsiao-Ping decided to back way off on the commie central planning debacles.

Bullshit. He made an ass of himself in front of a room full of asses.

I think the office deserves respect
Fuck that. The office deserves intense scrutiny.

Naturally, you can't expect president snowflake, the only man to ever get a Nobel Prize for teleprompter reading, to see what we really think of him.

If he wants to impress me,
He doesn't.

I'm sure Gawker has every intention of taking all the cheap shots they can at Thiel before they get locked out of their offices.

his late father, Cyrus Vance, wasn't as big a schmuck.
He was an apparatchik himself, and he failed to teach his larva to respect the bill of rights, so fuck him too.

I want the Cyrus Vance to go read the bill of rights and shove his demand back up his ass.

It's not that, either. The Martin Mars can take off from runways, too.

Prosperity, human rights, longevity... Take your pick.

That fucking CIA spook Bush should have bowed out. Perot would have made a far better president than any Republican since Eisenhower.

I'm just pointing out the reality of the matter,
The reality of the matter is that you can go fuck yourself. If the Republicans wanted my vote, they should have nominated Rand Paul.

China is the only country I could see actually attempting this.
Nope. Been there, done that. Lost tens of millions of people.
China will never revert to the insanity of trying to plan their economy.

Actually, they did work. They may not have achieved the results proclaimed, or even desired, but they did work.
Try telling that to the 70 million or so people that Mao killed. Oh, wait. You can't because they're DEAD.

The entire field of economics is predicated upon the idea of 'endless growth',
Nonsense. Economics is the study of how people exchange goods and services.
