  1. A radical progressive speaks out! on Former Senate Staffer Admits To Doxxing Five Senators On Wikipedia (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    I have never voted republiCON, but I despise false and unproven allegations! Three women accused that SCOTUS nominee (whom I did not want on the bench, BTW) and two were discredited, at least one of them facing criminal charges, last I heard on the other they were unsure to charge her.

    The PuppetMedia kept claiming that Christine Blasey Ford was a "credible witness" yet there were quite important variances in her testimony (what she claimed - - what her psychologist or psychotherapist said // her mention of "beach friends" one of whom as a lifelong friend, retired FBI agent who, according to a past boyfriend's letter, she had coached to beat lie detector tests when she first applied for the FBI some 20 years prior).
    Why hasn't this Christine Blasey Ford been devoting her life to the pursuit of Kavanaugh if she is so credible????

  2. Now why would the RoC ever be suspicious? on Taiwan To Block Tencent and Baidu Streaming Sites, Citing National Security and Propaganda Concerns (nikkei.com) · · Score: 2
  3. Yeah, the way tenured Milton Friedman, that on Why Hasn't The Gig Economy Killed Traditional Work? (npr.org) · · Score: 1

    looney tunes, supported right-to-be-fired without any notice, etc.

  4. A thousand thanks on Why Hasn't The Gig Economy Killed Traditional Work? (npr.org) · · Score: 2

    Thank you for stating what should be obvious to each and all and why I think this /. posting is beyond pathetic and ignorant. Also, would recommend reading The Myth of Capitalism if you haven't read it yet (don't agree with all the authors' opinions, but do support their data!).

  5. Question to the crowd . . . on Why Hasn't The Gig Economy Killed Traditional Work? (npr.org) · · Score: 1

    Does anyone else think this blog post is profoundly stupid????

  6. Reminds me of the time . . . on IBM Accused of Violating Federal Anti-Age Discrimination Law (propublica.org) · · Score: 1

    . . . I was standing in line in the grocery store, with two Micro$oft types behind me, who believed they had a brilliant idea. After listening to them for five minutes, and patiently explained that their earth resource technology had already been developed by Perkin Elmer and had been in operation for almost 20 to 30 years.

  7. How wonderful . . . on Oracle's Surprise Unannounced Layoffs 'Clear-Cut Teams of Engineers' (ieee.org) · · Score: 1

    . . . these major corporations always show such warmth and loyalty to their productive employees. Brings tears to one's dry eyes . . .

  8. Wasn't that at the direction of Zuckerberg's wife --- makes it easier for the hackers with China's Ministry of State Security, after all . . . .

  9. Responsibility????? on Pilot Who Hitched a Ride Saved Lion Air 737 Day Before Deadly Crash (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Although I haven't been in the aviation arena for some years, I recall that this should have been disseminated in a NOTAMN (notice to airmen) --- why didn't that aircrew spread that correction to others within the airport and airlines????? If they did not, it displays a massive show of irresponsibility on their part!

  10. Ditto --- great comments! on Education and Science Giant Elsevier Left Users' Passwords Exposed Online (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    Their American subsidiary purchased my company and immediately offshored all our jobs - - que sera, sera!

  11. Seems nonsensical . . . on As Costs Skyrocket, More US Cities Stop Recycling (nytimes.com) · · Score: 1

    If one follows the detailed guidelines in cleaning materials to be recycled, there is a tremendous waste of water --- a most valuable resource, and with all the fracking and destruction of aquifers occurring, a possibly diminishing resource?

  12. Thanks to the columnist minion for self-IDing. on USA Today Tech Columnist: Millennials Will Live To See a Cashless World (usatoday.com) · · Score: 1

    This columnist/blog writer is such an obvious twit, either beyond stupid or in league with the money masters --- what a load of tripe!

  13. Be sure, after reading this article, to read . . . on Elizabeth Warren Calls To Break Up Facebook, Google, and Amazon · · Score: 1

    In conjunction iwith this article I would strenuously urge everyone to read:

    The Myth of Capitalism (monopolies and the death of competition) by Jonathan Tepper with Denise Hearn

  14. https://www.mythofcapitalism.c...


    This is one helluva read, and the best book I've read since Lundberg's The Rich and the Super-Rich --- and that's quite a compliment!!!!! This books really explains it all (and although I am not in 100% agreement with the authors, those areas I somewhat would correct are just minor quibbles).

  15. Very well articulated, Good Citizen!

  16. Setting the record straight . . . on China Bans 23 Million From Buying Travel Tickets as Part of 'Social Credit' System (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    Journalist, He Huifeng, has a very good article on this and contrary to what some posters here have falsely claimed, it has already been used to quiet dissenters, etc. It is most definitely structured for command and absolute control of the populace:

  17. this is weird . . . on Astronomer Finds Potential Furthest Object In Solar System · · Score: 1

    . . . all my previous girlfriends have all referred to me as FarFarOut????

  18. Hmmmmm . . . . ??? on Intel's Interim CEO Bob Swan Gets the Job Permanently (venturebeat.com) · · Score: 1

    Is this dude any relation to Robert Swan Mueller III, the present special prosecutor and former FBI director?

  19. Re:FAILURE TO COMPETE on US Accuses Huawei of Stealing Trade Secrets, Defrauding Banks (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 2

    I don't necessarily disagree with you, but that does not excuse all the billions of hacks undertaken by China's Ministry of State Security cyber warfare section through their various corporations, etc. Go back and check how many g-workers whose personnel data was swiped in the OPM hack had their bank accounts drained.

  20. Re:States are going in the opposite direction on Too Many Workers Are Trapped By Non-Competes (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    Exactly --- I have wavered over the years, but ultimately changed my mind after examining all the world's practicing democracies, and the problem in America --- whether Georgia OR Seattle --- are too too many doofus, Ameritard voters and non-voters out there! Here [and I mention this as a life-long teetotaler, so am personally unconcerned] in Seattle area, they voted to end the state-distributed liquor sales and privatize everything, which predictably had the opposed advertsied effect: dramatically raising prices --- but it applies across the board to too many issues.

  21. Thank you, Comboman on Too Many Workers Are Trapped By Non-Competes (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    Yup, you are most assuredly correct, Good Citizen, and this is yet another red herring/disinformation scam in the endless list of such ploys: wage stagnation began long before this, in good times and bad: offshoring grew and grew over the past 50 years, along with the dramatic growth in replacing American workers with foreign visa workers and/or undocumented workers --- add to this the now Uberized economy of endless Uber-type part-time jobs with zero benefits, etc., and there you have it!!!!!

    Thanx again . . .

  22. Huh???? on FBI Investigating Fake Texts Sent To GOP House Members (wsj.com) · · Score: 1

    Who would bother to send real texts to them?????

  23. FINALLY, finally . . . . on Chinese Tech Investors Flee Silicon Valley as Trump Tightens Scrutiny (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    heard NPR at last report on all the Chinese gov't spying going on (although they did not mention that there have been OVER 4 billion hacks into public and private sectors in North America since 2010 (I stopped counting awhile back when it reached over 4 billion). Sadly, when NPR FINALLY reports something, you know it's gotten too late . . .

  24. Very well stated, JBMcB --- expect some quite nasty comments/responses to intelligent and honest remarks such as yours . . .

  25. "China isn't perfect . . ." on Why Huawei Gives the US and Its Allies Security Nightmares (technologyreview.com) · · Score: 1

    You raving lunatics who say this are the same types who supported the Nazis and Hitler's Third Reich!!!! Forced organ harvesing of political prisoners and religious prisoners, disappeared human rights attorneys and pro-democracy activists, etc., etc., ad nauseum. "China isn't perfect . . ."
