I have to agree with Brian Bain on this one: Perhaps energy is a good place for you to look. Many solar companies should offer great returns for years to come and many oil and gas companies will likely be great buys this year as prices decline more.

Maybe they're not grayed out because people are socialists, but because socialism has no relevance here, therefore any use of the word is just flamebait. Have you considered that?

But maybe I'm wrong. You can convince me otherwise if Venezuela's current government has in it's lifetime attempted to put the means of production under control of the working class, and if they have, how it has led to this current crisis.

If deaths caused by leaders purporting to advance communist ideals can be attributed to communism, then how many have died at the hands of those purporting to advance capitalist ideals? Would it be reasonable to attribute these deaths to capitalism as well? I really don't these type of conclusions are a positive contribution to economic discourse.

True, but /pol/lacks tend to ruin derail discussions outside of their space. This is not only true of 4chan, but a metaphor for the internet in general.

Umm, couldn't he just see which manufacturer made the best quality product, and work with them, and make a good profit margin? It may even be in that manufacturers interest to stop the other copycats.

Actually, 8chan had webm embeds before 4chan (and with a higher size limit). They were first AFAIK, but maybe some smaller chan did it sooner.

It depends. There are some sites that simply provide a direct link to a file on Google's CDN. That still wouldn't get rid of most of the charges against YouTube-MP3 though, such as circumvention and the like.

I was wondering about that as well. I'd hope that all these images are cached by archive.org or the like.

As long as one of those commands is a compose key, I'd be fine with it.

Would you if you made 2 dollars a day, as the average Indian citizen does?

For a moment, I thought VPN's were the answer to this, for privacy-conscious people in India, but do such VPN's exist that are financially accessible to people from India that don't go through ISP's that do the same thing?

I use searx.me for that. It's open-source, and it's a meta-search engine that returns results from more than just Google.
