What could possibly go wrong with that? Seems like the mortgage meltdown of the mid 2000s was centuries ago.

I guess it's been over 60 years, and everyone has forgotten about babies born with deformed limbs...

Back when I was in high school, I can recall being taught a 'generation' for a species was the time taken for a newborn to grown and mature to the point where they would reproduce - and for humans, this was 20 years. When and why did it change? Did the anthropologists / demographers win a fist fight with the biologists?

Sounds like Australian currency

So Elon doesn't want to comply with a court ruling that (probably) goes against his personal viewpoints? Tough shit. The 'First Amendment' doesn't apply outside of the USA (and in the USA, only to the Government). Do the world a favor and kill Twitter / X completely.

So, what is the difference between an ostensibly US company investing billions in Israel, or South Korea, or Taiwan. Why don't they invest that money in the US, employ US employees?

I would love to ditch my expensive electric clothes dryer, and dry my clothes using a combination of solar and wind power, using a clothes line in my back yard. But the HOA doesn't allow such things, because 'it will lower the tone of the neighborhood and reduce property values'.

I can recall my first experience of DOOM - it was mind blowing. A brilliant game, some of the things scared the sh!t out of me.

So, instead of singling out one company (the Yellow Peril scare again), set up privacy legislation that bans any company that collects personal data on individuals from passing that information on to any third party. So, if you can't monetize the data you collect, most companies will stop doing it. This will have the added advantage of putting those other scumbags - the 'Credit Reference Bureaus' - out of business.

A better step would be to prevent any organization that collects personal information from passing that on to any other organization.

What would be interesting would be to see how many states that still have antiquated unemployment insurance systems are Republican-led states. (I know Florida is). For them, systems to give benefits to the unemployed are very low priority - why help those who aren't working - it only encourages laziness.

A libertarian is just an Anarchist who wants a government to blame.

Libertarians are like house cats, they believe they are completely independent and yet dependent on society for existence.

A philosophy held by people who fundamentally fail to grasp that human beings are social animals.

Libertarians are adults that never grew out of the 'mine!' childhood phase.

Is she somehow confusing applications development with the game of rugby?

Anyone who is not senior management needs to be in a union. Don't expect your bosses to be concerned about what is in your best interest - the sole function of a private business in a capitalist society is to return the maximum amount of money to the company's investors (stockholders). You, as a mere worker drone, are just fodder

by revoking it's banking license. They clearly are not capable of operating with the degree of ethics required, so shut them down. And mark all the executives as ineligible to work in a financial / securities / insurance business for the term of their working life.
