  1. Re:What Sweden does... on As Costs Skyrocket, More US Cities Stop Recycling (nytimes.com) · · Score: -1, Troll

    Do they sort recyclables in Sweden's numerous No-Go zones? If the police won't even go into them, how would there be any enforcement?

  2. yes, it was straight rascist

    You misspelled "elasticity of supply".

    However, even after taking the WHOLE country, we gave it back to the people of Iraq by establishing free and fair elections, not on our terms, but the terms determined by the people of Iraq.

    It turns out that no country with a population with an average IQ below 95 has ever formed a stable democracy, so trying to leave a democracy behind is just not a sensible option. It'd be better to install a brutal dictatorship that is friendlier to the US than the previous brutal dictatorship. Brutal dictators also aren't willing to share power with terrorists.

  6. You're going to need to revise that to "3 Concervative Supreme Court Justices" pretty soon, as Ginsberg's death watch is on 20 days with no proof-of-life. Trump should personally invite her to the SOTU Address. Either she shows up or she's impeachably incapacitated.

  7. And what percentage of plastic in the oceans is drinking straws that came from the US? It's like the polar bear as the symbol of global warming: When Al Gore was born, there were 7,000 polar bears. Today, there are only 30,000 left!

    Disallowing financial and technology monopolies to stop serving customers is where anti-trust laws come in.

  12. Re:So? on President Trump Accuses Twitter of Political Bias (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    Twitter is a communication monopoly that operates as a "public square", which means its users have the First-Amendment rights on its "property". If it want to change its status to "private publisher", then it will become liable for all of its content, but its abusive behaviour still makes it liable for anti-trust prosecution. I wonder whether this issue will reach Trump's Supreme Court before or after Ruth Bader Ginsberg croaks next year.

    Some designs like the WaterSeer are physically impossible. To capture a pot of water, you have to take the same amount of heat out of it as you would need to put into it on a stove top to boil every last drop of it away. Where does all of that heat go? Into the supposed passive cooling medium.

    I wonder why the police don't release a genetic profile of the DNA they find at crime scenes. Would the ancestry reports be too politically incorrect?

    It seems like an easy "Yes" vote to me. "Do you want $2600 free every month, voluntarily paid by idealistic fools through crowdfunding?" Definitely yes, provided that I'm not forced to be one of the crowdfunders, where it would be a definite No. Of course, the latter is what will ultimately happen.

    There doesn't appear to be any Constitutional basis for these piss-ant federal judges to issue universal injunctions, which one of the Supreme Court Justices pointed out in the last go-around, begging Trump to make this argument next time.
