I know it's difficult for Americans to comprehend the value of mixed education, such as the guy you talked to. With his finance degree and plumber experience he will know how to fix plumbings and he will be able to run an efficient business which may even grow enough to hire a few guys in the...

I'm almost 60 years old my friend so 2001 was a recent enough event for me, for which I'm reminded every time I fly anywhere.

o_O you can't believe what you wrote, I'm sure. There is zero, none, nada correlation between 9/11 and the size of our military budget or post 9/11 and the lack of direct attacks on the US. But there is a pretty valid argument to make that 9/11 is a result of our foreign policies in the Middle...

Agreed, except for the referendum for raising taxes. All that is needed is to take 10% of the military budget (the largest budget of any country in the world by far, both in absolute and per capita basis) and assign it to public universities so that American kids of any economic class can study...

This is an entirely different but fascinating subject to address. For all its garbage, the internet also provides an amazing amount of free education for those who want to learn just about anything from recognized universities or people of knowledge willing to share it for free. At the same...

Lol, where did you get that from? You win a gold star for most ridiculous statement of the month. Costa Rica has no military but, as far as I know, it's still a country.

Yes, you really, really want to believe that. But when the wall fell people didn't rush to the East and that's the most telling proof that you're wrong. And you will likely say that's because people are stupid and further show your admiration for dictatorships. I'm sorry you fail to appreciate...

Friedman was an economist, not a political scientist. His opinion on democracy is no more valuable than that of any other intellectual. But even as an economist he has come under heavy criticism for advocating shareholder supremacy and remains the darling of the conservative establishment for...

I get that you prefer a dictatorship to democracy. Thankfully there are fewer of you than those aspiring to democratic principles. I agree with you that red tape is a major issue in the US, where every conceivable special interest wants their say in anything and everything built. I'm just not...

Europe and the US have a good working political, economic and military relationship. What you Russians don't understand is that even strong disagreements are resolved through negotiations. In dictatorships of the right or the left the only way things work is through directives from the top to...

Yeah, that's why I'm paying my € property loan early because my $ is worth 20% more...

The purpose of the Paycheck Protection Program and loan forgiveness is to provide economic relief to small businesses and certain other entities that have been adversely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. (Wikipedia) Dozen of Republican politicians have been outed, showing they never repayed the...

Wanna bet? Europe is far more resilient than Putin thinks, if he thinks at all. The Germans certainly screwed up shutting down their nuke stations for Russian gaz. But thanks to Putin, they now have another opportunity to think again.

Our Dictator Imposter is at it again... Russia can go sell its gaz to China or India. Europe will take the hit this year, but come up with alternatives that will further shut Putin from the western world. Russians have a hard choice to make, overthrow the dictator and create a viable...

2 points: 1. Already clearly addressed by the general media, the republican hypocrisy knows no limits. So many of those screaming fkrs defaulted on their PPP loans, it's become a meme, the same fkrs who railed against those loans but took them anyway and never paid them back... 2. Yes...

This is based on your judgement, not fact. Reread my previous post on the impact of HSR on towns within 100-200 miles of major urban centers in which stations are built. The newly available flexibility brings huge relief to congestion in existing urban centers while promoting dynamic...

We shall see in the next election what people think of their elected state officials.

You didn't know?:rolleyes:

Fascinating and scary. A Republican would find it entirely natural for a business to be free to choose who to serve and for whatever their reason, but would call a government doing the same a communist dictatorship. But you're not a Republican you're a Nationalist so, like the communists on...
