A monopoly? Essentially, a market failure or lack of competition in neoclassical economics. Yeah, that can be true.

If so, is this some warped version of a profound distortion of ethics if it is based on a mood? Doesn't your ontophilia also commit this "distortion"?...

Sounds Marxist. I'm sorry; but, modern day economics is based on rationality. To say that greed dictates the evaluation of prices or even price gaugin...

Someone give @"schopenhauer1" some happy pills... I need some too.

I'm not sure what you are asking here. Are you asking about distribution of taxation or social welfare? Inflation, classically is defined as an overab...

:worry:

Do you realize how much space launch costs have decreased? Google it, and tell me that doesn't make mining as infeasible as it once was.

Not really, but I actually miss neocons instead of these Trump apparatchiks populating the government.

Not really. It's been Republican dream of returning to the Moon for a very long time. Now that there's a legal framework devised you can bet the barn ...

Most of it has been in the works for a while now. Newt Gingrich is having a party, last I heard. This is where Republicans deserve credit.

NASA didn't want to do it with exorbitant launch costs, so guess who is going to be contracted to do launches. It starts with 'space' and ends with an...

Mind you, there's a lot of profit out there. I just pray to the spaghetti monster that we don't start claiming planets like Mars as our own. Russia, C...

Uhh, Trump just made an executive order for Dick Force to plunder asteroids and the moon. https://ul.countable.us/ul/v1579903803/axios-rss/bkqcsfri7ck...

We should stop doing this shit: https://futurism.com/the-byte/trump-executive-order-moon-asteroid-mining

I was taken care of by the Communist Party of China today. It was a good day: https://www.chinadaily.com.cn/china/images/attachement/jpg/site1/2017090...

I don't know; but, if I was a journalist it would sure be a firecracker. America wen't nuts. But, wait, the Chinese virus insanity, the shithole count...

Oh my fucking God! https://i.imgur.com/ySGe4h3.jpg

Who won?

Like I said, I'm not the biggest fan of the US. And, yes... we even have private prisons! A shitstain that will always remain on our national identity...

So, you get a comprehensive health insurance. What else you going to do? I'm not the biggest fan of the US; but, where else can I move to or would it ...

Yeah, I'm surprised too man. At least I get my Cybertruck, when I can afford it: https://i.imgur.com/jheKdRy.png https://www.driven.co.nz/media/100005...

Don't think so. I suppose it's a greater danger hereabouts is to deviate from a document that has provided a high standard of living, and ensures that...

As a foundation it's pretty solid. Everyone is guided by defending it, despite rampant paranoia or insecurity. Humdrum for it's ethical import nowaday...

Nah, ethics and morality are timeless. Just the kind of stuff that need to be included in it, the 'stitution.

I always thought the idea of time being a dimension was flawed. Anyone else has more to say about this, or any physicist?

So, who are you guys and gals gonna vote for? Biden or Trump? I think I need to evacuate myself. Excuse me.

Wallowsome.

Sanders had multiple conversations with Obama ahead of decision to end campaign. The Kool-Aid is fruity.

Mexico at least cares about religion. Here in the US, they only exist to evade taxes.

What about them? As I understand it, most Americans are closet Nietzsche'ians. Hegel only makes sense in America, for the dominant party, which is non...

The 2.3 Trillion isn't even mentioned on Bloomberg.com and hidden over at CNN.com Just shows how rigged and corrupt the whole system is.

The Constitution was meant to instill confidence and security. Now, you have an agency that is monumental, power-mad, and continuously given more and ...

So, another 2.3 Trillion just got injected into the economy, and lent to the FED. Wow... guess what? The markets aren't really reacting. :rofl:

In theory, that doesn't work. Because, the nature of intelligence gathering limits the analysis to a unifying understanding of the scope needed to und...

Talk about a debacle for the US. The OPM (database of all government employees) got hacked by the Chinese in 2014. You do an analysis of (un)encrypted...

Yeah, there's an issue here. The DoD has command over the military; and yet all the other alphabet agencies are under civilian jurisdiction. :chin:

I think the President can't sleep at night, thus, the need for an oversight agency, no?

What about stipulative definitions? What to do about those that plague philosophy?

That was the FBI's role, hasn't it, or what agency are you referring to?

I always thought CISA was an NSA branch, as it should be. Yet, Homeland Security gets it, and effectively becomes the most powerful government agency ...

I think the system is crashing...

Also, if anyone wants to promote the FBI, as this type of Oversight agency, just read the Wiki article on the FBI. It sounds no different than Homelan...

Drink the Kool-Aid, DNC!

Can someone possibly help out with a proof of this assertion in the OP?

Holy shit, it's good to be poor in America for some strange reason. Middle class just keeps on getting fucked over.
