Oh ok. Yet thousands of children remain separated from parents, again, through a policy the Trump administration started. The traumatic psychological ...

Absolutely none of this is true. There are a fantastic number of publications investigating the zero-tolerance policy, which was started under the Tru...

I've been out with groups of men and women to bars and clubs and people just socialize and drink and no one goes home with anyone. Therefore no one ev...

Dude you used an example size of one, a businessman who succeeded in starting a company while in debt, as a justifiable reason for others to pursue st...

It's not a matter of being "upset", but being dazed by a barrage of stupid arguments, comments, and ideas over and over again.

I think the best argument against social conservatism is to simply look at Agustino's comments.

Holy fucking shit

Has anyone else seen the Pixar movie Coco? Saw it last night and it was amazing. A top tier Pixar movie for sure.

Anyone who supports Trump has a twisted, deprived sense of morality (or simply none at all)

Exactly, so without knowing why only 30% of businesses survive, why would that be the default recommendation to young people whose backgrounds, experi...

Damn there's that cooing again.
July 19, 2018 at 13:14
It's come to light that two weeks before his inauguration, Trump was shown highly classified material showing that Putin had personally ordered the cy...

A recent case-in-point, in 2014, only 22% of Republicans said that Russia is an ally or friendly to the USA. In 2018 that number is now 40%. Compare t...

There's nothing deranged about attacking Trump's immigration policies, which forces family separation, or departs people who have lived and contribute...

I think it's absolutely hilarious that you are socially conservative, and fiscally liberal. That's literally a joke on 30 Rock.
July 18, 2018 at 20:29
This is a terrible terrible strategy for the majority of people. US data from 1994-2015 shows that the typical survival rate for a new business drops ...

The problem is social conservatism cannot be squared with individualism, even in a modest sense of the term, and empirically it can't be squared with ...

How, exactly, does this affect you?
July 18, 2018 at 14:57
Many are saddled with student debt, most companies don't offer reasonable raises (it's generally accepted that the best way to regularly increase your...

Yes, I recall one fairly valid criticism of Marx's concept of Value was that a commodity with a higher socially necessary labor time should correlate ...

There is a range of factors here, including dating apps which effectively transforms dating into a Pokemon like game, but the strongest factor is that...

Yeah the distinction between value and price is made evident early on in Capital.

The default way to order a hot dog is with mustard and sauerkraut. Additional accouterments can be acceptable, but only on occasion. Ketchup is never ...

Yet another tired "whataboutism" comment, in which the poster, unable to accept moral flaws of capital accumulation, needs to point to another politic...

It's surprising that Harvey includes the Labor Theory of Value given that (if I recall correctly), he's acknowledged it's not widely accepted anymore.
July 18, 2018 at 01:32
Within a week, Trump will walk back on today's statements and return to believing Putin over the IC. Whenever he's reined in he just returns to his or...

Does anyone else hear a strange 'cooing' noise?
July 17, 2018 at 19:06
How many people here would describe themselves as socialists?
July 17, 2018 at 18:56
Oh yes the Kids For Cash scandal really epitomized American Capitalism at the time.
July 17, 2018 at 14:30
So much of this is absurd. No one doubts that he is the legitimate President of the Unites States. He won the electoral college based on a choice that...

Whatever current polls state generally reflect what occurred a week or two ago. Polling isn't instantaneous. That said, there will always be those, as...

I am very curious to see how his approval rating will look in a week or two.

I feel like today is a major turning point, but it's obviously hard to say with certainty.

Just learned that Harry and William refused to meet with Trump, who, in 1997, said that he could have "nailed" Diana, but only if she got tested for A...

Finally got around to reading the Trump-Putin conference and my jaw is on the floor, yet I'm not surprised at Trump's response. Still utterly surreal.

A fun fact about the phrase 'drain the swamp' is that was first tested by Cambridge Analytica (created by White Nationalist Steve Bannon and the multi...

Well if you are too lazy to expand I won't stop you.

I mean just within the last week Trump called the EU a "foe", criticized May then lied about it, said that Germany was controlled by Russia, and said ...

Marx's Capital is such a wonderful book. One of the best tomes that few people read - up there with Leopardi's Ziboldone, Burton's The Anatomy of Mela...

Croatia played better through the majority of the game, but got wrecked by a bad penalty call, and some other stupid plays that heavily cost them.
July 15, 2018 at 18:22
That Trump "tells it like it is", is chicanery in the same vein as Bush being the guy you'd "rather have a beer with", or Reagan being sooo charismati...

The Irish have better drinking habits, but America has better beer now.
