Seeking Alpha is contrarian trash.

If they live on the streets, defecate everywhere, shoot and deal drugs in plain sight, expect free food and healthcare from various associations at taxpayers expense, break into cars and threaten bystanders?... Sure, let's get the yuppies and CEOs too!

Absolutely not. That's an elitist wish I hope never exist, unless the consumption tax is based on income. This already exists in Denmark where speeding tickets are based on one's income. Working class? €50, upper class? €200. The pain is felt the same across income levels.

I just learned the proper term for this transaction, a viatical settlement.

Yeah, I know a guy whose business is to reach out to individuals with life insurance they cannot cash in (too early) but need money (generally health Issues). The business buys back the policy and pay the individual less their cut. They're always looking for investors to finance the policy...

Idealism is the first step to dictatorship.

Lol, I have to ping @johnarb for being called a Libertarian, that will make him laugh too. Let me correct you and clarify. I'm the opposite of a libertarian because I strongly believe in government. You should know because more than once you've criticized my pro government stances. I...

Harm is a big word and I'd rather call it impact. Let me give you an example... Ford and GM are heavily unionized. Labor costs and shared decision making are such that it's hindered their ability to innovate and be profitable. As a consequence, they've just about given up making cars to...

I like it so much better when government representatives attempt to pass laws in the open, rather than covert unions arm wrestling employers into to submission. That is Kentucky and, despite having a Dem governor, it's a pretty red state. If such a bill was ever to pass (very unlikely), I...

Could be. Such a paradigm shift will have myriad consequences that need to be studied. I'd hope some anthropologist would make a time movie from the announcement to the impact on the application process, the making of the student body, the graduation length and drop out rates, the choice of...

I hope PhD students will take that endowment as a research to analyse its impact on the school and the students over the next decade.

And I also don't believe in God.

I swear to God!

I read the addendum to here deal... The money is for people of color only!

Well, today is the day, my portfolio is green! Not to the moon yet, but I'm ready. Of course I knew it would...:cool::rolleyes:

The Israeli/Palestinian conflict is a particularly salient subject that shakes public opinions and governments to the core. As far as I'm concerned, all should be able to express their views as long as it doesn't threaten others. The public square is a good option to channel, provided...

It's not. Because I expect far more from the government than the first amendment. Look at Europe! If tomorrow the government decides that speech is protected as long as the person takes responsibility for what they say and requires real name, address, etc. to be verified and held by the big...
