  1. Restricting Chinese citizens from investing abroad.

    Ha. In context, this is nothing more than making a show of shutting the barn door after all the horses have already got out.

  2. That's great while you're inside your country the size of one of our smallest states.

    Sweden is 3 times the size of Florida.

    Source: I lived in europe and while it was great browsing locally, it sucked once you crossed territories.

    When did you live in Europe, anyway? The 90s?

    Correct. And I want the State to serve me and my community by providing reliable public transport at an affordable cost. Which, here in Sweden, it does.

    If even 20% of the private vehicles on the roads were replaced by buses or rail, THAT would be a HUGE WIN FOR EVERYBODY.

    Powerful people want a society enslaved and subservient to them (the Democrats don't even hide this agenda). A good mass transit system that would make people dependent on it to get around would further that goal.

    And you are a NUTJOB.

    eh not really. you can see celebs and power players on the subway all the time/

    Dunno about the subway, but I got to sit next to Robyn on a city bus here in Stockholm about 6 months ago. Wouldn't have known who it was if she hadn't been fiddling with something in her handbag and given me a glimpse of her ID card.

    Self-driving cars can drive in tight "platoons" that greatly increase the carrying capacity of roads.

    Sort of like those tight collections of cars known as "trains"?

    If you think the President is unable to carry out his responsibilities, you have a duty to bring about impeachment and/or invoke the 25th Amendment.

    Going behind the back of and trying to undermine the Chief Executive in this fashion is unprofessional, cowardly, and unconstitutional.

    Not hard to figure out who you are since exactly 18 of the 18 links you posted are to your own Twitter account.

    I hope people who can be bothered with Twitter accounts show up there to give you a well-deserved really hard time.

  13. Just some Trumptard getting triggered—or some troll pretending to be.

  14. Trump is not a particularly visionary leader or anything. Bit of a buffoon really. The all-important thing is that he's not part of the aristocracy...

    He's sure got you fooled, doesn't he.

    I've never heard anyone refer to C/C++ (or languages of similar power) as 'dangerous' before.

    I took a Numerical Linear Algebra class in which you were expected to use C. First thing the instructor said was, "This is not a class for children, and so you will write your assignments using C. If you can't be trusted with a pair of scissors, you definitely cannot be trusted with a chainsaw. C is a chainsaw. Deal with it, or come back next semester when the other guy will let you use the blunt scissors known as 'Pascal'." This was in 1986, BTW.
