    Once again you avoided the question: "If your "enhanced" story and the victim card to try to force it through without criticism was not to support the "they are all crying wolf" agenda then what was it for?"

    Trying to get me to write about my career by calling my ability in it into question is a bit of a slimy evasion.

    I very carefully worded it so that anyone actually reading and understanding what I had written would not jump to the wrong conclusion and fly off the handle. Try reading more than the key words! They are nothing like the Mafia but they are an org that is setting out to commit what are currently crimes in a very methodical way. Because of that the normal very heavy handed approach to organised crime does not seem appropriate so they are getting away with it. That is by design.
    It's working. Some of those laws they have broken are getting repealed in some places.
    Making sense yet?

    deliberately obtuse and dishonest misinterpretation of my reply

    You misunderstood what I wrote and I clarified - nothing more than that.

  10. It's things like that which make a moonbase or space station as a step to Mars a good idea. Attaching Earth built propulsion systems and a crew module to rock that you didn't have to launch is another idea.

  11. Until we have the technology to get to mars in a matter of only a few days or less

    Incredibly unlikely for a long list of reasons, but what is likely given time is having several things going there per year. You need food next week? Here's a shipment sent last year that's arriving next week.

    NASA, unlike Musk PR (or whatever is really happening), is doing things the right way by carefully building the pieces of the puzzle over time - eg. experiments growing food at the south pole and all the hundreds of little things required to have a colony.
    They don't want it to turn out like the first settlement of Australia where they brought the wheat but forgot the bees. Really odd story, but people where very hungry until the first beekeeper and his bees were sent out. The Australian native bees were too small so got the nectar without spreading the pollen.

    It's the same thing with the so-called 'War On (some) Drugs' or the failed Prohibition days of the 1920s. People as a population will not obey laws/regulations/policies when the majority oppose them and also (usually due in large part directly to those very laws/regulations/policies) perceive them to be vastly unjust/unfair/unwarranted/undesired/etc etc. All such laws do is turn otherwise law-abiding people into criminals and also stifle innovation and societal progress across multiple areas of civilization.

    Hence my words "that looks more like civil disobedience" above.

    Please read posts in full before crying "bullshit".
    Uber's business model involves challenging taxi laws by breaking them. They may be unjust laws in some cases but it's what they are doing just the same.

    Now you are not only pretending to be far more stupid than you clearly are but also playing word games. You have not managed to convince me to withdraw my accusation about you pushing the "not many rapists but lots of women crying wolf" agenda by now despite all kinds of petty and annoying tricks so I suggest you just give up.

  16. The reflexive anti-government attitudes of many is particularly puzzling in a democracy

    They want a "strong" leader like King George back. Koch is available.
    It's all about being naive and having no clue how utterly fucked over they will be if they end up with a "strong" leader. Rand and her book about how wonderful it would be to have a Tsarist nobility in the USA (so long as you are a jailbait princess screwing your way to the top that is) helped add to the delusion.

    Piecework is innovative? Tax avoidance is innovative?

    Uber/Lyft/etc made the mistake of not making sure they paid off the right "good old boy network" people

    With political donations etc that is exactly who they are paying off and is why they were not driven out of town the second they showed up to challenge the taxi company/government arrangement designed to prevent competition so long as the governments get something.


    The thing that confuses so many and another reason they have been able to work their way in is that it's organised crime that looks more like civil disobedience than what governments are used to with co-ordinated rulebreaking.
