    I deny it

    the best way would be to train them to not be criminals, most people in jail today didnâ(TM)t wouldnâ(TM)t have commit a crime if circumstances were different.

    locking people up is a doubly tremendous waste of a countryâ(TM)s resources: the cost, and the people themselves

    Your point is lost when you apply a specific complaint to the whole. Some taxes, some fees disproportionately hurt poor people. We should look more into fixing that.

    But we know in general that rich people donâ(TM)t take care of poor people out of the goodness in their heart. So we form groups, we form governments. The government is not just some asshat. It is a system of people. It takes real work and leadership to change it for the better.

    Just remember, you choose to do this

    Well, that is the entire debate right there. That there is increasing amount of evidence that some people have trouble choosing not to even when they should. This is what is means for an action to be addictive; that in the face of unhealthy consequences, some peopleâ(TM)s brains wont let them do it in moderation.

  5. I agree I have a [slightly] leftist point of view, but, I'm also willing to hear you out. We are like 9 posts deep in a thread no one cares about- I wasn't going for a cheap laugh or anything. Maybe just link to a good argument on how deregulation of the EPA helps the little guy? ( I'm not trying to troll you into spending hours crafting an argument ).

  6. I would be interested to see any examples of trump draining the swamp. He seems to be filling it up instead. Deregulation that only helps big corporations make more money with out helping the people that the government is meant to protect.

  7. Re: Yes and no. Maybe. on Is US Surveillance Technology Propping Up Authoritarian Regimes? (washingtonpost.com) · · Score: 1
    Generically maybe, but not specifically. From âoecarnivoreâ forward those tools have only been used to control the population. They have no âoehumanitarianâ use. They arenâ(TM)t a hammer.

    Oppenheimer wishes he didnâ(TM)t help make the automic bomb, and many in the intelligence gathering community have come out against the technologies they developed under the strictest NDA youâ(TM)ve ever seen.

    Engineers need to think about how the tools they are making are going to be used. And realize that they are morally culpable in being a part of that system

  18. Re:I must be old on Bot Tweeted Names And Photos Of Venmo Users Who Bought Drugs (mercurynews.com) · · Score: 1
    Old people don't need venmo in general.

    - Young people rarely have enough denominations of cash on them (prefer credit cards). To pay anyone back exactly.

    - Young people don't have the money just to 'buy everyone dinner', or "I'll get you next time". So they split the bill. But not all restaurants or hotels etc make that easy. So Venmo did. Also, at one point in time Paypal didn't make it as easy as it does now (probably because of competition from venmo)

    Worthless? Statistics say otherwise... Higher Salaries, lower unemployment. You just can't figure out why yet.

  25. So that is about 19% of the adult job-seeking population of the US. That makes sense.

    But, that still means 81% of people should go to college ( if they have hopes of being a primary provider ).

    But Only like 34% of American's are getting bachelors degrees right now (44% for associates+).
