FYI I spent an evening trying all the German herb liquors. Trying to find one that was worse than Jagermeister. It's called Ratzenputz. Apparently that means 'clean you out', still have to figure out something to get back at my cousin.
The Germans don't get why Americans drink Jager like it was something other than stomach tonic. But their kids have started to drink it as well.
Libertarianism is, at it's core, about the government only doing the things that only government can do efficiently. Not anarchism, but minimum government required for a functional society. Courts, cops, military. Not much else at the federal level anyhow.
I just don't think the government is the only entity that can do 50% (a fairly typical socialist tax rate) of the economic activity in a nation efficiently.
The key problem with socialism is excessive concentration of power. Money is power. No entity can be trusted with 50% of a nations economy.
I could support basic income. If it wasn't implemented until after we fired all the current government 'workers' it is supposed to replace. Otherwise I suspect the cost cutting part will never happen.
I certainly don't trust Wikipedia about any political subjects. The article was likely written by a socialist.
I was in Aus, 15 years ago (god damn I'm old, WTF happened?) the only coffee to be had was instant.
The beer was OK I guess. Better than American can beer, but not by much. I'm not talking about the piss (Fosters) that's the same as American can beer.
Not that American beer was all that great, 15 years ago the 'microbrew scene' was 1000 bad English style Brown Ales. To be fair they might have been a few good English style Brown Ales, but I got so sick of them, I hate them all now. Today it's, at least, diverse.
I can finally get good fresh Pilsners/Pils in summer.
You did make good tea though. Didn't expect you would all 'recon' so much. Must be Australian for the Canadian Eh.
The problem with a Bentley is they are unreasonably, insanely, expensive (especially for Fords). The drivers could make diamonds every time they drive, if they just had the foresight to stuff their butts with coal first.
Besides imagine the look on the rich idiots face when you blow his doors clean off. The fat rear tires (and the V8 lope) should have tipped the Bentley driver off.
About the only thing the Bentley will do consistently better, pull mercenary birds.
She got a worthless degree, so what? If she had asked anyone outside the English lit department they would have told her. Horrible ROI.
The economy serves people just fine. Witness all those people voting with their feet, leaving countries with everything you want to come to the USA without it.
What would you have the employer do with this stupid bitch? Seriously? She's just firing material.
Moved the goalposts? Where did she hear she would be able to afford bay area costs with a worthless degree? She should kick whoever told her that right in the balls/cunt.
Her unreasonable expectations are not the employers problem (at least not anymore).
Don't pretend to know my interests and I won't pretend to know yours.
They are not the same. The employee is responsible for him/her self. Employers can't control employees. You wouldn't like it if they tried.
Every employee is free to walk away. You're just mad many don't have any good options. Life is like that, no effort, no options. Decisions have consequences. Don't major in English lit and bitch about not getting a good job.

D's are still going through it.
Their progressive wing is flat crazy.
You'll know they have lost to the loony left if Sanders is nominated. Would be great news for the Republicans.
Sanders is unelectable. All the 'free shit' people are already behind him. Less than 50% of the Ds, 0% of the Rs.
The sane Ds would stay home or vote against him if nominated.
If he's making mouse sperm, it's a major discovery.
Lame little electric motors.
For real prop breaking excitement you want a 20k+RPM nitro-methane burning RC plane.
That was just plane wrong. You have to get your doctorate before you are qualified to doctor data.
All German beer crap you say.
No accounting for taste. Leaves more for me.
There is something wrong with anybody who has a CS degree and ends up working any McJob.
Seriously wrong.
I shouldn't have to explain that well educated people don't have to work Mcjobs. That is for liberal arts majors.
What dark orifice did the Wikipedia author pull that one out of?
'use their freedoms to maximize their appreciation of their freedoms'? WTF, that sounds like it was written by someone on acid.
Seriously who did they get that from? Chomsky?
It would have been nice if they had paid attention in school, so they would be worth more.
But given that we have a population of 'no skill' people, Walmart is about as good as they can expect.
BTW the government is subsidizing the low skilled workers, not Walmart. If there was a supply of better workers business could make that work as well.
Do you know what Irish coffee is?

Most kids are legal adults. This is not news...90% of statistics are lies.
Stockton to Bakersfield is New Jersey.
Everything is good! They were wrong about what they thought was 'sufficient' and have learned to live cheaper.

The logical explanation is you haven't tried an American beer in 30 years.
Not every microbrew. America now makes as good beer as anywhere. Including Germany.
The slackers now are England and Ireland. I know people who actually think Guinness is good stout...

Now I've heard everything. Aussies bragging on their instant coffee...damn tea drinkers.
I'd take a 302 pinto over a Bentley every time.

That is why you are not a geek or a gamer.
If you were a geek you'd already have the computer, if you were a gamer you wouldn't be able to stand week platforms like PS4/Xbone.

8? Before breakfast...
I had to switch to much stronger coffee. Now I get by on one (about 32 oz) coffee. It's about 90 weight.
Damn I miss the background crazies. Here in CA they are front and center, many in state and local government.
You better not be bad mouthing Irish coffee. The best drink ever invented.
One is an owned asset, the other is an employee.
