Pathetic might not have been the best word. Arrogant would have been more appropriate.
And as we both know, the barrier to compete in this market is very high so I advice you to wank off instead of waiting for me to inform you of my code release.
Change that would really change things would include, the government minting it's own US Notes and then spend them on building new and rebuilding old infrastructure. Income Tax has to be phased-out along with the Fed whom it feeds. Then âoedrasticallyâ cut the spending on the military-industrial complex. Ban export of high-tech component manufacture, and then raise taxes on import of high-tech, industrial machinery, etc. Close borders to illegal aliens. Raise taxes on the wealthy and especially on the corporations until they repay all the money they misappropriated from the Social Security Fund. Implement a single payer health insurance system. Switch to geothermal power and electric cars. Etc. Donâ(TM)t forget to end all wars.
IANAL but can this be considered a bill of attainder - as it is taking away the rights of certain American citizens (those who communicate with foreigners) without trial?
I'm sorry that you believe the Fed was not responsible for the Great Depression. You can e-mail me if you really want to find out what was the cause.
You can bitch and moan about the Gold standard all you want, but you cannot deny the awesome power it has: Gold can only be created by fusing atoms together like during a super nova explosion, a technology we humans lack.
You complain about the Gold stander, but lets compare it to todays monetary policies. When the federal government finds that it cannot afford its out-of-control spending, and is unwilling to directly tax the public, it resorts simply to creating the money out of thin air. Inflating the money supply is the easiest form of financing the government. The Federal Reserve, an unelected and unaccountable private organization, pumps more dollars into the economy whenever it chooses. And the public is forced to accept these bills.
Basic economics tells us that the more there is of a good, the less valuable it becomes. This is also true of money. The dollar is worth four cents of what it was when the Federal Reserve was created in 1913.
Day by day, every dollar you have is being devalued. You pay an inflation tax without even realizing it because you are forced by a falling dollar to pay more for goods and services.
I was hesitating to sign up with Verizon as my wireless carrier a year ago. I still have 1 year left on my contract and I don't want to feed money into a company that acts like this. Now I'm stuck giving Verizon my money for another year, how do I get out of this bull shit without doing the costly termination crap!?!

I think it's time to come out with an open instruction set architecture and kill these pathetic IP companies.
Shhhhh you're breaking the illusion for everyone if you keep talking like that.
