The economy is growing faster than Obama and Paul Krugman (NOBEL PRIZE WINNING ECONOMIST!!!!!) said was possible 2 years ago. The Korean War, which lasted 70 years, is officially over and the dictator of North Korea is talking with the President of the US. Again, something that supposedly wasn't possible just a couple of years ago. Amazing that Nobel Peace Price winner Barack Obama wasn't able to do that.
Yes, TBL is "old man yells at cloud". It's sad, because he's a smart man. The idea that electing Trump was a disaster because he personally doesn't like it, or that Brexit is a disaster because he personally doesn't like it, just doesn't cut it. He's simply part of the authoritarian left who want to force their will on everybody because they think they're smarter than anybody else.
How has Donald Trump "rolled that back"? Or Brexit?
People voted for Donald Trump because they saw him as better than his opponent. Our economy and the end of the Korean War would suggest that's likely true.
Brexit also won the popular vote. This isn't because of Russian trolls or whatever the wacky conspiracy theory of the day is. It's because more people in the UK felt that they were better off not being part of the EU. Really. That's it. It was put to a vote and the voters decided.
TBL may not like it, but it doesn't mean the internet is no longer working.
I appreciate his efforts, I really do. But can someone take the microphone away from him? Every time he talks now I see "old man yells at cloud".
Whole Foods is not a "grocery store" and doesn't compete with standard grocery stores. It's true that in the absence of WF their shoppers would go to Kroger or whatever, but the fact is that for most folks it's not seen as an alternative. Put another way, if Whole Foods was next door to my house and Publix was 5 miles, I'd still go to Publix. The other store would have to be 10+ miles for me to think about WF. They don't carry much standard stuff and I don't care for "organic" or "non-GMO". Both are scams.
If Amazon bought WF to get into the grocery business, they're stupid. But, newflash, you don't get to be Amazon by being stupid.
I'm not entirely sure what the plan was, but it's not surprising to me that they're looking for an alternative way to get into grocery.
The other big problem with "stop and frisk" is that it's almost always used only against minorities and poor people, and it causes the divide between those groups and law enforcement to widen. They're already leery of law enforcement, but stop and frisk makes them downright resentful. It is the literal opposite of "community policing". It might actually drive crime down slightly in the short term (although I'd have to see good research to be convinced) but I'd argue that in the long term it's almost certainly going to have the opposite effect.
My county sheriff posts the dates and locations of their checkpoints on Nextdoor. But, he's not trying to collect revenue - he's trying to discourage drunk driving.
Some people at the spice shop downtown were trying to sell me "organic salt" one day. Yes, NaCl. She assured me that the regular Morton variety is processed with dangerous chemicals, etc. I laughed. It's mined, in case you're wondering.
Toxoplasmosis has a life cycle that includes cats and their prey. It reproduces inside the cat's digestive system and comes out in their crap. Since cats don't eat crap and generally stay away from crap, it has found a clever way to get back into a cat's digestive system. It infects cats' prey, such as rodents, and makes them far less afraid of cats and cat odors. Which makes them far more likely to be eaten by cats. The parasite apparently has no effect on cats, but it has psychoactive effects on the other hosts.
Since it's psychoactive, it's not surprising that it has such effects on humans.
This is similar to the rabies virus, which causes dogs to bite anything and everything (the virus is present in saliva) and actually has the same effect on humans. In humans, the end result is hallucinations, confusion, and aggression - probably what dogs are going through before they die of rabies.
Most Americans do not get an extra month of paid vacation near the holidays like this. These people are getting paid for that time, even though they did not show up and work.
So clearly, you're either ignorant or a liar. Either government employess were forced to come to work without pay (like the TSA), or they were furloughed, meaning they didn't go to work AND didn't get paid (like the IRS). In NO way was there any "extra month of paid vacation" for ANYBODY.
This is a great example of "fake news". They'll all get back pay, nobody lost anything.
As one example. Hopefully he'll be able to impact the organization from within. It's a shame, because at one time they seemed like a principled civil rights defender:

"I actually think Trump's so-called free-speech executive order is a slightly more sophisticated attack on tolerance."
If you think that, your brain doesn't work correctly. His executive order actually forces *real* tolerance from the left, which I notice you hate.
Crap, I submitted too quickly.
I would also point out that i to the power of i is a real number, and is e to the power of negative one half pi.

Yep. "Reduce. Reuse. Recycle."
There's a reason "recycle" is last in that list.
