No, the problem is more nuanced than that.
See, we have corporation owned media who also employs lobbyists to fund campaign. On one hand, you hear little to nothing about many political corruptions because established media will not report on it, or downplay it so that least amount of eyeballs and ears hear about those stories. Most often, you will not know what the politician is up-to or what ties he/she has with rich donors until election is over. See, if your only source of political news is CNN, Fox News, MSNBC, or any of the major news network, you will pretty much be in the dark as to who to trust (or distrust). These same network will also try to character assassinate a few "honest" politicians that will run for office. That's because the same corporation that owns these news channels are also funding the politicians they like to put in place.
We also have these things called "Super PAC" that legalizes unlimited amount of money to be flown into a politician's campaign. I will leave you to research how that came about. Want to win an election? Cater to your large donors or you will never see the light of day. Of course, Bernie Sander has shown that you can get by with small donations by the thousands of average people, but one thing he didn't have is a major on-going prime-time coverage by the establishment media. And that is almost a crippling factor as not having any fund in your campaign. For the average politicians, they will be hard pressed to compete with politicians who are backed by Super PAC, and you see the conundrum there.
Solution? Get rid of legalized bribery (abolish super pac), get money out of politics, and if need be, fund campaign by tax dollars. Yes, your tax dollars. You want your politician to work for you and not the large donors, don't you? Find and contribute to movements like Wolf-PAC or similar that try to accomplish this. Also, level the playing field in the media (or at the very least, make the news channels FACT CHECK all things politics and not be merely neutral). Until then, you will never get rid of lobbyists or politicians who feel the need to use them.
BTW, if you think Trump was not under the influence of billionaires or lobbyists, you will have quite a rude awakening.
Except that you are allowed to configure RAM and CPU and hard drive space at the time of order. Surely, MacBook already covers 80-90% of the people? Why the overlap on the PRO version? No bloody murder here. Just apple apologist at work.
False premise: political elites are corrupt. Corruption happens in all sectors. If business (or financial insider) is in charge of running regulatory bodies regarding said business, then it's opening doors to unbridled corruption. Trump is basically removing the middlemen (lobbyists) and putting in charge people who would not have hold government positions otherwise. See the laundry list of billionaires, CEOs, and military-industrial complex insiders that are now filling up Trumps cabinet and advisories. They ARE the swamp.
Don't drink the establishment's koolaid. Mob rule is what brought French revolution and other civic reforms. Consider this: electoral college resulted in Trump's victory. He didn't even win the popular vote. Electoral college also produced George W Bush in the past. He also didn't win the popular vote against Gore. The very thing many think that it was designed to prevent (undesirables by elitists' standard) failed miserably.
I'll have call bullshit on this one or the op was simply jesting, in any case I've listened to the entire call and this never came up. Nice try TexasTroll.

Who's lying now, anonymous coward?
I would have to disagree. His polls were neck to neck with Hillary by the time the primary reached California. The emails clearly show DNC's efforts to undermine Bernie through media collusion from the beginning when they were supposed to be fair and impartial to all their candidates. Sanders is generally not a guy to push on personal attacks or going back to undo what has been already done and it shows when he generally avoided attacking Hillary on her email scandal when that would have been the easiest to damage her campaign. Sadly, this is what Trump is doing and he will likely succeed. Bernie's only real reason for endorsing Hillary, disappointing as it is, is to get as much progressive policies on the DNC platform as possible. He stayed on his campaign as leverage, and being on DNC platform, it was only the last remaining practical thing to do, aside from jumping to third party.
Troll, or Hillary shill, whichever you prefer, the thing you and your lot is not understanding (or in denial) is that she has proven beyond doubt that she is above the law, and laws apply differently between lowly commoners and rich-and-powerful (Trump included). OP's stupendous rant about CEO analogy is, ironically, quite spot on as this country is run by corporate interests and not by the people.
Nice try, Trump shill, targeting a specific ethnic group is a perfect usage of the term racism. Next up, you will say Japanese encampment was not born out of racism because Japanese is not technically a race, yeah? The amount of bullshit is strong in this one.
You only need to see the stream of electric vehicle announcements other vehicle manufacturers have been making to realize that yes, Tesla has proven to the industry that there is a larger demand on electric vehicles than previously thought; that it is not merely a toy project, but a real threat going forward in coming decades.
"Come on, that's not a fact, but a wild, groundless speculation."
No, it's called reality my friend.
Because parachuting will work only on earth and similarly dense atmospheric planets. Places like Mars and others where atmosphere is very little to non-existent, you will have to land by propulsion with something as heavy as this. As Elon Musk puts it, the ultimate goal is to create a technology capable of multi-planetary traveling.
Nay,
Android succeeded only because it came pre-installed on the phones. Millions upon millions of them. This is where Linux distros fail miserably. Hopefully SteamOS catches on via games, but we'll see.
Not true. Having too much can have an insulating effect. Thermal paste was designed to fill in crevices that may prevent two surfaces from making flat contact.
You're over assuming. He only said he had to do neither of those, and suddenly 6 months became 5 years... It is quite possible that he may be running an old machine, where Linux has a great amount of support. A more recent distribution like Ubuntu makes it painless to install drivers, but you're right about finding drivers for newer stuff (although generic ones sometimes suffice).

Sorry, you will have to pay me more than $50 to watch ads on phone that I may keep for several years.

What the hell does "almost definitely" mean? Is it like near miss?
Personally, I'm waiting until RC 14 before trying out.
Not true. Having too much can have an insulating effect. Thermal paste was designed to fill in crevices that may prevent two surfaces from making flat contact.
Please, just let it run out already.

Great! We solved the global warming. Let's get cranking.
I think you should re-read his post.
