The fact that my VPN of choice, Mullvad, collects no information.
That you know of. And you don't. All you have to back this up is their ephemeral TOS, which they may or may not adhere to, and could change at a moment's notice.
The evidence is that Republicans don't care about personal behavior any more than the Democrats that dismissed Bill Clinton's womanizing.
They only care about it when Democrats do it. We suffered through 8+ years of Republicans bitching about Bill's dalliances (yes, they continued to complain even when he was out of office). We got 8 years of complaining about Bill being a "draft dodger" from the Republicans, but not a peep about Donald's multiple draft dodges.
A VPN company would go out of business if they were caught selling peoples data.
Doubtful. Look at all the other high-profile security breaches or just plain dishonest practices (Wells Fargo fraudulent account creation) - did any of those companies go under?
What you're missing here is that a huge part of the "success" of Theranos hinged on the Cinderella story of a brilliant young woman creating her own company from scratch. We now know that it was all bullshit, but she took that narrative to the bank. People seem to be reluctant to call out attractive women on their bullshit #include
In Switzerland, the fines go into the municipality's budget.
Lots of places do that, including the US, and not just with traffic fines. I suspect that in some area, if you were to eliminate fines, the city/county would go bankrupt.
He is not competent to be president and the religious right and rural folks voted him in based on gut instincts and religion.
The American Taliban voted for Trump, hoping for 1..n ultra-conservative Supreme Court picks, or even better, hoping he would get impeached so Pence can bring on the End of Days.
If there is too much work for the current people to do in 8 hours a day - then you're obligated to your share-holders to hire more workers, NOT to overwork the current staff.
Your supposed to meet demand WITHOUT being a dickwad.
Actually, it's just the opposite. You're obligated to your shareholders to squeeze every last ounce of productivity out of each and every employee, so as to maximize profits. If you can get the same work done with fewer employees, that's even better. In fact, if you're not a slave-driving dickwad, you are failing in your fiduciary duty.
In my own personal experience over the past 25 years, I've only met a single European H1B - she was a COBOL coder from Germany doing Y2K work for $50k/year. She about shat her pants when I told her what American COBOL people were making for the same work.
Yeah, well, it's not 1999. Linux failed. It sucks. It's useless for 99% of people,
This - so much this, and I am a sysadmin who does linux 8-12 hours a day.
While Linux is kicking ass in the enterprise, and sending the old guard like HP-UX, Solaris, AIX et al out to pasture, it is not ready for the 99%, and I doubt if it ever will be. Yeah, there's anecdotes about someone's grandmother who installed it just fine, no problem, yada yada yada, but those are extreme corner cases. Linux has become too fragmented to ever have a chance on the desktop, much less in the home. It seems like every other week, there's a new distro, that's almost, but not quite, entirely unlike every other distro. How many different desktops are there? How many different package managers? If someone gets lucky and finds an application to fit their needs, and it's available in the appropriate distro, well fuck, it won't install because it needs gtkshitlibrary-2.6.869.so and the distro shipped with gtkshitlibrary-2.6.867.so which isn't compatible with libgnadslurp-7.34.2202
You have to really want Linux as a desktop and it takes effort and passion. 99.9% of the user base just wants stuff to work and doesn't care or want to see what's under the covers.

they won't listen unless you have 100,000 of your friends screaming the same thing.
They won't listen at all unless your friends happen to be named "Benjamin Franklin."
Corporations are artificial constructs created by law for the purpose of improving the economy.
Corporations are artificial constructs created by law to concentrate power and deflect liability.
That will give small business owners the incentive to grow and create more high paying jobs.
I can't believe you typed that with a straight face.

You pay... and Twitter disappears from your world.
