They're not oblivious. Pelosi, Schumer, Booker, et. al. know perfectly why they lost but to admit the truth would mean shining a spotlight on their donor base. You think they want to bring the unwashed masses of the Millenials into their party? How would they justify taking all that AIPAC, PhRMA, MIC, etc. money? Pelosi herself said they don't need change. They're doing very nicely as the well-paid cock-blockers of the Left that people actually want.
You're assuming he was Asian. It doesn't say that anywhere. It says he was a citizen of China and his name was Liu. He might be black. Please don't be such a racist.
See how that works?
I had a similar situation. I realised that doctors are just statisticians trained to pick the most likely cause regardless of hunches or suspicions. And so they also ignore you because what you say is anecdotal and not backed by statistical trial. If they waiver from that, they open themselves up to malpractice suits for ignoriing the statistically most likely cause. Only when they are sure the judgement is an error will they then move to the next most statistically likely cause, and so on.
Pfizer scrambling for the moral high ground. Providing drugs to kill people damages their image and there's almost no profit in it so their PR flacks craft a nobly worded sentiment for their blurb. I worked for them through PhRMA and believe me, I saw no indication of concern from them for anything without a fcking $ sign in front of it. Evil people.
You've never read "1984" then. A particular plot point rotates around the fear that the government is listening to the protagonists when they are in a field. It's intended to be creepy and scary. Which it is. But here you are, "We have nothing to fear from the Secret Security Service!" Jawohl!
Well, my point exactly. You see nothing creepy in this at all. Tell someone in the 1940's the government would be filming them in public wherever they go. What do you think they would say?
In the 1980's a high-rise Telecom building with no windows opened in my city and it had security cameras in the lobby to film anyone entering. This was ostensibly because communications hubs were considered a strategic civil asset to be defended from attack. Do you know that a lot of people refused to enter the building or take jobs there because they thought it was a violation to be recorded without their consent (banks notwithstanding)? A couple of years later it was a non issue. Now the cameras record us on the streets and nobody minds. Trepidatious at first, the authorities have found that there is little or no pushback at all to the encroachment on our privacies and rights and they're ramming home the intrusions while they can.
The call Australia "Treasure Island" because retailers can overcharge for so much out of date stuff here. Even downloads of software cost 30-80% more if your site is the.com.au locale.
I've read that the comms back home is built into the OS and no one knows for sure what is, or isn't, sent back. It would be naive to think selecting "off" on an option button is going to prevent MS's data gathering rivalry with FB.
Banks like CitiGroup have similar private setups but no one will ever question them. There are no policemen patrolling the corridors or corporations no matter how corrupt they are.
Since Hillary has taken nearly $3Million in, ahem, donations from Tata and Infosys you can be sure there'll be plenty of new data available as the foreign workers pour in.
Clinton is successfully wooing wealthy Indian Americans, many of them business leaders with close ties to their native country and an interest in protecting outsourcing laws and expanding access to worker visas. Her campaign has held three fundraisers in the Indian American community recently, one of which raised close to $3 million, its sponsor told an Indian news organization.

Move along, folks. Nothing to learn or discover here. There'll always be another election and we can address any issues on voting day...
This is the most obvious flaw in Libertarian ideology. It's utopian worldview quickly gets co-opted and abused by the real world.
It's Jay Leno on line 2. Something about your mother...?

I bought shares in CDR before they went bust. Is this because of you? You owe me money, dude! https://hotcopper.com.au/asx/c...
Way to go hijacking the argument with linguistic semantics. You are why we can't have a normal conversation.
In accordance with our records, you should be dead now. Please do the needful...
I generally agree but that puts the formation of life in a bad spot...
There are very few Gods in the Pantheon of IT. TBL is one of them and we should not only listen but remember.
Bingo. 5 stars from me FWIW.
Well done. Sounds like a gag from a '50's TV show...

What happens when Watson comes to the conclusion that single payer health care would save more lives than the current US health system?

Yes, my mother worked there. Sorry, this was pre-internet so there's no Google to verify. You had to be there.

Yeah, agreed. You left out how 3D printing was gonna be the next big thing.
Excellent point. Hence you got down voted by angry fanbois...
