  1. Re:Both sides are bad... Oh wait.. on Net Neutrality Bill 38 Votes Short In Congress, and Time Has Almost Run Out (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 0

    Both parties were on board and are still on board with endless wars as they are directed to do so by their lobbyists. That is why we are still having them. How about you start voting for individuals instead of parties? "Your team" doesn't care about you, they will sell you out to the highest bidder.

    Bullshit. Both parties were on board with Iraq, including Clinton. And we are still there and in Afghanistan. Democrats were on board with that one too. I can't believe anyone is this naive in 2018.

    Yeah, or they could send young Americans to fight in endless wars overseas. Or authorize mass surveillance. The Democrats have as much blood on their hands as "the other team". The idea that Democrats are fighting for affordable healthcare is a complete joke. Healthcare is more expensive than ever and the lobbyists made sure that happened.

    That's great. It worked out for you this time. Too bad next time the lobbyists will tell them to do something else that isn't quite in your favor. The only reason NN is even an issue in DC is because there is lobbyist money involved. Do you think the idiots there even know what NN means?

    You are a moron. No politician is looking out for "your interest" unless you have something to give them. Neither party gives a damn about you, except for your vote. You can't possibly be that naive in 2018.

    You have fallen in the trap that "The other team is bad" but "My team is good". No wonder this country is do f'd up with people like you voting.

    Yeah, I wonder why. It is almost as if both parties are being directed on what position to take, and unwilling of make individual decisions based on what is best for the country and their state.

    That is because one side is getting paid to take one position by one group and the other side is getting paid to take the other position by another group. It really just shows the power of lobbying.

    No, that isn't "fine". It is inefficient to give some rich guy $20k. It would be better to spend that money on something that is actually effective at reducing emissions: public transportations. Cars are not green. EVs are just good for posturing.

    It failed because interest rates in that era were extremely high and that added to the cost of doing business. Once interest rates go back up you will see a LOT of companies fail very quickly because they can't make their loan obligations. It is not normal for companies to have $20 billion in debt like they have been this decade.

    Thats nice, but that isn't relevant to what I wrote. I commented that it is unnerving that he thinks that SSDs are theoretically immune to manufacturing failures. There are a lot of reasons why a SSD can fail. Soldered joints can fail. There are various bonds that can also fail.
