You wouldn't be standing on the shoulders of giants without IP laws, bub. Your "immense gratitude" is a farce.

What could be more American than a foreign born mafia engaging in human trafficking?

I find this optimistic, suggesting that the rot can be stopped with some consequence? The rotten "populace" in the country seem to love their corrupt politicians, and it's because they're corrupt too. Meritocracy began it's slow death with the banking bailouts.

I thought my previous comment made that obvious. And unlike in the private sector, mismanagement in government is a given.

We never talk about social welfare programs? Odd, I hear chatter all the time. How about we never talk about rewarding management-by-breaking-things?

I can rephrase it then to they owned themselves in this case by being so damn gullible, thus further entrenched power given to the insurance industry.

The "libs" who lobbied for so-called universal healthcare? They further empowered these corporations and now they want to get rid of them. The libs owned themselves on this topic, obviously.

Ever done any work for a US health insurance company? You won't find many conservatives. You will find many "free lunch" advocates who spend half their day lobbying to protect their job and their industry. They are playing politics with your healthcare costs. How is that for nuance?

Could be the other way around. Failed leadership in the ruling class is promoting culture war and strife as a scapegoat. Quite easy to see the rise of race hate correlated with bank bailouts and occupy movement. Immigration won't fix the inequality problem, but could definitely fuel "partisanship"

I'm not mad at congress, I'm mad at the fools who keep voting for them.

I think when certain very talented creators get "demonetized" and they have a bad experience with customer service trying to understand why, and maybe suspect the criteria changed without they're knowing, it's relatively understandable to over-react and say their hard work was censored, even if knowing it doesn't meet the legal standard. I wouldn't let it bother you so much.

Fascinating. So do you think government is essentially doing a great job at protecting freedom and maintaining decentralized power structures? Or are they too busy building company towns?

Are you suggesting that our universities are teaching short-term thinking cowardice and greed? Or is it just certain programs? For a while I thought it was "STEM" programs that alluded most to easy-money themes in academia, with business schools teaching more of the long view and social responsibility of financing then managing a business.

> you might find the clients or the brigading groups that were talked about above to be either in the right or in the wrong

This is implied in the fact that no details were given, so I just find it incredibly strange that anyone would consider it an "astute comment". I suppose you must be referencing others in the thread who think they (or Facebook) can simply request a few details and efficiently judge correctly right or wrong.
