Farmers usually vote Republican. They vote for the corrupt politicians that take bribes from companies like John Deere to pass laws that make it illegal to mess with your own equipment. Fuck 'em. They've successfully voted themselves out of existence, by and large, already, anyway. The only real farming left in the US are large industrial farms.
Unless you have a net worth in the 8 figures, you really shouldn't ever do business with a for-profit bank in the US. They'll fuck you, hard. Credit unions are for normal people in the US.
The press has stopped reporting every single lie that the Orange Piece of Shit utters. There'd literally be no room for any more news. An accusation from the Liar-in-Chief means absolutely nothing.
I actually think the Kushners are half-way reasonable people
"In the summer of 2004, Kushner was fined $508,900 by the Federal Election Commission for contributing to political campaigns in the names of his partnerships when he lacked authorization to do so.[8] In 2005, following an investigation by the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of New Jersey,[9] U.S. Attorney Chris Christie negotiated a plea agreement with Kushner, under which Kushner pleaded guilty to 18 counts of making illegal campaign contributions, tax evasion and witness tampering.[10] The witness-tampering charge arose from Kushner's act of retaliation against William Schulder, husband of his sister Esther, who was cooperating with federal investigators; Kushner hired a prostitute to seduce his brother-in-law, arranged for an encounter between the two to be secretly recorded, and had the tape sent to his sister.[11][12][13][14] Kushner was sentenced to two years in prison[11] and served 14 months at Federal Prison Camp, Montgomery in Alabama[15][16] before being sent to a halfway house in Newark, New Jersey to complete his sentence.[15][16][17] He was released from prison on August 25, 2006.[18]
As a result of his convictions, Kushner was disbarred from the practice of law in New Jersey,[19] New York,[20] and Pennsylvania.[21]"
Health insurance is much, much more expensive for older people than for younger. Companies have a tremendous economic incentive to discriminate against older workers. Health care needs to be single payer.
The Internet is completely usable. It was never designed to be anonymous or private. You may not think that it's usable for what you want to use it for, that doesn't mean it's unusable.
here are literally (old definition) hundreds of ways to encrypt communications and obscure the fact that they are even happening at all.
You can encrypt to your heart's content, but your ISP has access to every single packet that flows over your connection, including where and when, even if they don't have immediate access to its contents. So, I'll stand by my use of the word "literally", thanks!
There's literally nothing you can do if you're paying an ISP for connectivity.
The only way you can begin to have any kind of privacy is to connect through somebody else's connection (public or otherwise). From there, you can encrypt and all that good stuff. But with this new law passed, there's quite literally nothing you can hide from your own ISP.
Nobody cares. Phones sell ALL OF YOUR DATA. Apple and Google come right out and say that all of your data on the phone is theirs to use as they see fit. People don't care. Microsoft doesn't do that, so why do you think that people would care about MS selling simple telemetry data?
Face it, MS simply does not make products that people are excited to go out and buy (at least since Win95, over 20 years ago), they make products that people think they need because they dominate those particular markets (OS, Office software).
Any business would be thrilled to offer products that people need instead of products that people want for the time being.

It's for economics and sociology nerds, like myself.
I pay 10% of my salary in property taxes
Wow. You should probably work on your personal finances. You're what we like to call "house poor".
How the fuck would this survey include state and local taxes, exactly, when they vary so incredibly widely across localities?
"Skin in the game" doesn't make sense in this context.
You get the largest military in the history of the planet. That's what stupid Americans want, so that's what stupid Americans get.
What's your point? Advanced mathematics is required to do lots of different things.
and find some common ground... like the fact that Hillary and The Donald are BOTH scumbags who don't deserve to be president?
Nope. Not even close.

Keep a job. Write software after/before work.

If I were in charge of a company that made FREE software I'd tell the trolls to go fuck themselves. Fucking losers don't have anything better to do.
It's called coworking. It's been a thing in medium to big size cities for about a decade or so.
You obviously don't understand the concept of coworking.
Your statement is untrue.

I'm glad public salaries were paid to come up with that study.
Me too. Information is good! It's tough to look at public policy issues with no data (unless you're an orange shit-for-brains windbag).

Oh sure. I'm sure a lot of the public is hung up on a 10 year old corporate legal case. That's it. You nailed it.

I'm sure that "looking pathetic" is a key factor in their decision making, Mr. Trump.
