Comment Re:Capitalism is breaking down (Score 1) 113

If you are too soul searingly stupid to use Google long enough to find the damage billionaires are doing to your life then frankly I do not know how it is that you've gotten this far without being eaten alive by puppies.

Sorry, but you're the one making the claim that billionaires hate capitalism, so it's up to you to provide the evidence, not me. And, even if you're right that they're damaging my life (And that's another claim that you need to provide proof for.) that's not proof that they hate capitalism.

Billionaires have dominated our economy and they do not like capitalism. They do not like it one bit.

You keep saying that, over and over without providing the slightest bit of evidence to back your claim up. But has it ever occurred to you that capitalism is what allowed them to become billionaires in the first place?

My Radio Shack alarm clock from 1990 still works and keeps good enough time that I only have to set it once every couple of years or so. It has a 9V battery in it that keeps time in the event of a power failure. I put a lithium 9V battery in it in 2018 and haven't had to change it since.

This premium level of convenience and performance costs me $0.00 every month.

As far as I can tell claims like yours are just another right wing myth used to demonize immigrant populations they don't like with as much supporting evidence as Trump's fake immigrant crime wave. Maybe a few anecdotes with no broad supporting trends.

All I can say is that I hope you're right and I'm wrong. I don't like the idea of children growing up in America and as citizens who aren't allowed to learn the dominant language.

Given how divisive and volatile our society has become, I estimate coordinated campaigns against platforms would happen within days of a law like this being enacted.

Considering how many hotheads there are on all sides of the political spectrum and how eager some of them are to use insult to attack anybody who doesn't agree with them, I'd be astonished if there weren't insult campaigns already being planned so that they can be launched as soon as possible after this section gets repealed.

"No, Davies can't fix the autocannon even if your lives depend on it. Division says to shoot him in the arse if he so much as touches it."

Nice bit of fiction, but here's what actually happened when Sgt. John Basilone fixed a machine gun under fire. The results look a little different, don't they?

Numerous stores already track you via your phone's Bluetooth signal.

That's easy to prevent: just turn your Bluetooth off when you're not using it and make sure it's off before going into any store that you suspect is using it to track you. Personally, I can't remember the last time I've had it turned on. Of course, I can't use those fancy wireless earbuds (or any other kind) because they don't fit my ears.
