> it would be karmic justice to start wiping out elderly investors because they were the ones with political control ignoring all the problems building over the decades

Are you "ignoring all the problems" of today? Or do you just not have the "political control" to change things? What makes you think that "elderly investors" had more control during their lifetimes?

> getting career advice from John Carmack is just like getting career advice from a lotto winner, not everyone has the luck/genius

To a large extent, career success is the result of a combination of hard work and luck. The more you have of one, the less you have to rely on the other.

> If this succeeds, it will be a data collection tool the likes of which the world has never seen

I'm pretty sure that this type of data collection tool is in use today by the Chinese government.

No amount of tax increase alone is going to address a $22 trillion debt. Reducing the size of the state will be required.

"chaff was released by a military C130 [sic] northwest of Evansville."

Not exactly a mystery.

This is pretty clearly a hit piece.

Maybe I'm dense, but I'm failing to see any real problem here. Certainly none that would warrant government infringing on private property rights.

For an "anti-capitalist", he sure has a lot of books for sale on Amazon.

Held in "secret detention" and posting a full apology including praise for the government. It sounds like the Chinese government is in full tyranny mode.

I've never understood how the federal government holding all of this land has held up in court. What is the constitutional justification for this?

Somebody please build a news distiller that extracts the facts from such articles.

As one who has watched the golf equipment market for some time, I can tell you that many are willing to spend money for incremental improvement rather than spend time to get better through practice.

> Flying cars seems like a horrible idea.

It depends on the use case. For high-density urban areas, the challenges probably outweigh the benefits. But for low-density, rural/semi-rural regions, those who commute an hour or more could really benefit from such a vehicle. For example, hospital staff driving home after a long shift.

Thank you for posting this. I had not heard of the Pamphlet wars.
