After a certain point it's irrelevant. Soviets developed the Tsar Bomba; should the US have tried to one up them?

I don't really understand his sentiment. It's not like he's stealing a billion dollars from charity. The people who lost out will get their money. They were speculators at the end of the day, and I don't really have much sympathy for them with regard to their loses of 10x gains.

I guess he might still be facing jail time or threats from the the community, so he has to put on some type of sympathetic face.

There are plenty of cities where raising a family is doable. Albany, Pittsburgh, Indianapolis, St. Louis, even Chicago. Of course you're talking about NYC, San Fran, and LA and therein lies the problem.

>"Sarah, a 14-year-old in New York, describes it this way: “I’ll go on Insta and it’s just people all talking about the same things. I’m like, I already heard that or I already saw that. It’s like, when you’ve seen everything there is to see in your Insta feed or on the internet. We see the same lip gloss, the same eyebrow style, the same meme like 14 times. It all gets old and then you get bored.”"

Incredibly sad that this is what the internet has been reduced to. It's not the internet that's boring; it's your vapid social circle!

As an American, I have to say Parliament debates are relatively entertaining and seem light years more intelligent than what comes out of Congress.

You don't need a facebook page. Throw up an HTML page and use Twitter for updates. Get instargram if you want to actively engage followers.

Yep. Cashing out while they can, obviously.

Amazing how any Europeans bend over backwards for these companies and the USA. What reason is there to oppose taxing what Faceboook generates off of European users? Are they still under the delusion that Apple and co. isn't bringing all those billions back stateside to enrich Wall Street? A continent with no backbone!

permanent professors are tenured or tenure track and are very hard to 'cut loose'

American colleges have an anti-asian bias. I, for one, don't blame the Chinese for buying up the system so that they get decide who comes through the door now.
