    Amtrak Wreck

    Businesses would still like infrastructure improvements, but the Boomers who leeched off of the infrastructure and government services built by their parents for their entire lives are now dedicated to slashing taxes no matter what and running the country into the dirt, fetishizing selfishness...

    Amtrak Wreck

    Really the US should be investing in better trains, but politically we're in the clutch of the Baby Boomers, who've never seen a national problem they couldn't foist off onto the next generation, so good luck with that. Trains fit a completely different niche than cars in the American...

    Bernie's gettin rowdy again!

    That comparison doesn't make any sense. I'm talking purely in economic terms, you're doing some nonsensical abstract comparison with no basis in anything. Pretty much by definition, the rich have more to gain from preserving/enriching the status quo and society being stable. That's almost the...

    Bernie's gettin rowdy again!

    For one thing you've listed very different taxes, and I shouldn't have run with that - gas taxes play a very different role (depressing gas usage for our communal environmental good) than DMV fees. But basically we should reduce or eliminate all regressive taxes we can, including sales taxes...

    #Gamergate, the war on nerds, and the corruption of the left and the free press

    My local newspaper is pretty bad too, better go start a cult to harass women online because clearly that shoddy reporting somehow relates to me being a victim and women being evil

    ACLU Smartphone App!

    Because they have limited funds and the NRA will always bankroll every 2nd amendment case to the hilt. They usually don't spend much money/time on electronic stuff either when someone like the Electronic Frontier Foundation is willing to pick up the tab. It's not an issue of not caring, it's...

    Bernie's gettin rowdy again!

    Uh yes, we absolutely should it were feasible. The only reason we don't is that it would be a logistical nightmare. Those sort of taxes/fees are horrible regressive. No, it's your smug pop-psychology that makes you completely miss the point. It has nothing to do with jealousy. (I'm sure some...

    Freddie Gray dies a week after being injured during arrest

    Yeah most people I know are strongly against that. It's horrible. The problem is, there's no one I can vote for from either party who's against it, by the time we get through primaries.

    Should your boss be able to fire an employee for using birth control?

    This is the sad reality in at-will states, yep, which is why at-will is dumb. It doesn't have to be that way. It's possible to have a very functional society where bosses aren't absolute monarchs over their employees, even though every time you move away from that model you'll have the bosses...

    #Gamergate, the war on nerds, and the corruption of the left and the free press

    Uh, no, I'm saying "gamers" and "nerds" might have been coherent social groups 20 years ago but today playing video games is tremendously mainstream. Being against "gamers" isn't a thing any more than being against "movie lovers" or "music listeners." The category of "gamers" as being a coherent...

    Should your boss be able to fire an employee for using birth control?

    Everyone should be able to hire children to work for sub-poverty wages with no safety precautions in place, or ability to sue the company from gross negligence if those children die in easily-preventable situations. After all, it's a *private* business and therefore no one else could possible...

    Should your boss be able to fire an employee for using birth control?

    No level of home rule is enough to keep more people than some states from having a say in national politics, including having a say in national tax policy they have to contribute towards. But hey taxation without representation for hundreds of thousands of Americans is no big deal, some guys...

    #Gamergate, the war on nerds, and the corruption of the left and the free press

    No, not "gamers," which is not a meaningful set of people, however much Gamergate people want to pretend to speak for them. The people who obsessively and with no understanding of human interaction think there's some kind of fierce culture war going on, and really high stakes in this topic, and...

    Should your boss be able to fire an employee for using birth control?

    Our founders accepted slavery as an unfortunate compromise too. We don't have to live with their unjust mistakes just because it's 'tradition.' The colonies weren't full counties in Great Britain either, so I guess it's totally fine that legislators from far away decided everything for the...

    #Gamergate, the war on nerds, and the corruption of the left and the free press

    If you polled 100 people on the street, maybe 30 of them could name their congressman and senator, but I'm sure a few news segments about the autistic misogynists completely rocked the culture to its core.

    Should your boss be able to fire an employee for using birth control?

    A separate but related issue: People not from DC telling people who live in DC how to govern themselves is some tyrannical bullshit. Make it a state already. Keeping more Americans than some entire states without representation, and letting legislators who don't know the first thing about them...

    Get Rid of Police Unions

    I hate current police unions, but I don't think the unions per se are the real problem. The problem is an American public that got terrified of crime (and black people, which a huge amount of the white population equates with crime) in the 70s, and even though crime is way, way, way down and...

    Joke of the Day Thread --> Glenn Beck: ‘I’m out of the Republican Party’

    Him and every other far-right nutter, except when it comes time to vote, in which case they're party-line. Same reason a huge percentage of "independents" in America vote straight-ticket 99.99% of the time.

    ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith: Every Black American Should Vote GOP for One Election

    Completely nonsensical idea. I'd buy an argument that black Americans should consider voting for a third party, because no doubt they're somewhat taken for granted by the Democrats (hard not to take for granted a base that has no possible home in the other party), but voting Republican would be...

    Wisconsin to be 25th RTW state!

    Unless we're talking about CEOs, of course. Then, any talk of taxation or limits on CEO salaries would absolutely destroy any incentive to work harder.

    Is the Media provoking racism by feeding into these homicides by unarmed people?

    May I suggest that murdering black citizens at a much higher rate per capita, especially unarmed black citizens, is what's causing/symbolizing racism, and the media reporting is the after-effect rather than the cause? It's like getting angry at a woman for reporting a rape rather than getting...

    Wisconsin to be 25th RTW state!

    I would be fine with a federal program for maternity/paternity leave paid for by taxes rather than forcing companies to pay it, but regardless, it's a standard throughout the first world. It does a lot of good things for society: -keeps highly-skilled/educated employees from dropping entirely...

    CBO estimates cost of Obamacare even lower than before

    This is a very accurate, concise way of putting it. Now let's hope we can go from here to an even better, cheaper system rather than reverting to the earlier, worse one.

    Wisconsin to be 25th RTW state!

    I also find it hilarious(ly depressing) that so many people will shout for the death of unions because some unions do a mediocre-to-poor job of protecting workers from management's exploitation, yet have nothing bad to say about the management that runs this country by exploiting the shit out of...

    Wisconsin to be 25th RTW state!

    Time to get rid of vaccines! People don't get rubella or measles anymore! That old industrial age thinking is going away as it should. For those that want to cling to it, fine have your vaccines but don't force others to have them. And before some idiot comes in and starts talking out of his ass...

    What do Conservative parents tell their kids about Reagan?

    Get back to me in 30 years when there's a cult of Obama-worship akin to the GOP's Reagan worship and then these comparisons will be slightly more valid, though "exaggerated the benefits of a health care bill" isn't exactly "sold weapons to Iranian terrorists in order to fund other terrorists...

    U.S. Adds 295,000 Jobs In February; Unemployment Rate Falls To 5.5 Percent

    Petraeus pleads quilty to passing classified info

    The actual double standard is "rich and powerful people are above the law, poor and powerless people get crushed for suspicion of having a joint," but I'm sure this thread will instead turn into "Obama did it!" vs. "It's stupid to pretend this case would be any different under any president."

    The FCC votes on Net Neutrality tomorrow...

    why do people talk about racial and gender equality...

    It's not really that complicated, and it could be a LOT easier - it's 100% possible for the IRS to just do our taxes for us and send us a bill/refund check each year. The only reason that doesn't happen is the anti-tax lobby thinks if taxes aren't a huge burden, people won't be as anti-tax...

    Netanyahu Speach to US congress. Predict his revelations

    More Than $1M On Drug Testing For Welfare Recipients

    You shouldn't have to take a piss test to earn your money. Just because you're getting fucked, don't turn around and fuck over other people even worse. Work to improve your own lot in life as well as theirs. I swear 90% of this country would be happy living under a tarp eating rats as long as...

    More Than $1M On Drug Testing For Welfare Recipients

    Okay, so you agree we should be drug testing anyone who takes a mortgage or child tax credit, or who works for / owns a business in an industry the government subsidizes, right? After all, if they don't want to be tested, they can just not take the tax credits and switch industries, right? Or...

    what chances would Jeb Bush have of being President?

    What pathetic back-pedaling. You called her a whore because she's a woman you don't like. Maybe to you it's just a generic gendered insult, like calling a guy a 'prick,' but it's still clearly not an insult you chose because it's the most accurate. Here's a free tip: You're never going to...

    More Than $1M On Drug Testing For Welfare Recipients

    You're only factoring in the cost of the physical tests. The bureaucracy to implement drug testing also costs a ton, including an appeals process. Then there's the cost of kicking people off of welfare if most of that money WAS going to non-drug expenses, because poverty costs us all - unpaid ER...

    why do people talk about racial and gender equality...

    My argument was never that dislike of nobility was a cause of the American Revolution. I said that the Constitution (and Articles of Confederation before it) explicitly forbids titles of nobility, because the ability to pass down enormous political power without any question of merit is...
