> First, a lot of English-speaking countries place lower importance on veggies.

Which ones? In the US, we are told to eat our veggies because they are good for you. The problem in the US is that something forced women into the workplace and families are resorting to easy processed meals like microwave dinners, fast food, etc.

> What supernatural being descended on earth and gave governments the supreme right to own the path from earth into space.

'Listen. Strange supernatural beings descending on earth is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses...'

> OK, so, if you could launch from a ship in the middle of the ocean you would be free to launch as you wish?

Couldn't that possibly be mistaken by countries around the world as an icbm launch. Given that danger, I'm pretty sure no private company would be allowed to launch rockets without government approval. But I'm just guessing.

Because of microsoft office ( particularly excel ). It's just as simple as that. I remember years ago people thought that google's free office/spreadsheet offering was going to be the end of microsoft office/excel. I remember having a good laugh back then. The business world, especially finance, runs on microsoft office. I just don't see it changing anytime soon. It's amazing how entrenched it is.

> It takes billions and billions of dollars

Apple and Microsoft are trillion dollar companies ( both nearing $3 trillion market caps ). They can afford it. Heck they have the balance sheet to acquire both tsmc and samsung if either were up for sale.

I thought Apple was moving towards being a full-stack company. Where all the hardware and software is developed in-house. If anyone has the resources, it is apple.

And we want all the names of the people who own you. It's always the hysterically pro-israel ( and anti-american ) politicians who behave this way. Funny how she says it will prevent russian, iranian and chinese bots, but no mention of indian or israeli bots. Modern politics is so absurd. An indian american woman who hates america and but loves israel. How do one even begin to make sense of this craziness?

> OK, I don't think so.

Doesn't matter what you think. It's a fact. No revolution swept the old guard from power. The system didn't change. I explained this to you.

> When the Berlin Wall fell, which direction did the foot vote move?

The wealthier side. You seem to mistake wealth with goodness.

Using your logic, because poor north koreans migrate to china or poor egyptians migrate to saudi arabia, it must mean china and saudi arabia are the good guys. That's the dumbest logic I've seen.

Between the soviet union and the US, the evil side exterminated a continent full of natives and dropped nuclear weapons. I'll let you figure out which side was the evil one. Anyway, thanks for your service killer.

> Miami is a 2.5 hour flight direct from almost every major airport on the east coast. It is beautiful year round.

Yes. You just described a wonderful vacation destination. Not a financial capital.

> Sorry, but I don't really want my face to hurt when I step outside December through March.

I'd be more worried about hurricanes and flooding than cold manhattan wind.

You just ignored all my points with silly nonsense. Are all the top universities going to migrate south too? Are tens of millions of people going to move to miami as well?

> But in the 60s Detroit was the tech capital of America and California was for movie stars, beatniks, and farmers.

By the 60s, northern california was already a tech hub. Stanford university was around for nearly a century by then and initial inventment in silicon valley was already decades old as was the JPL. Also, nyc-metro was the tech capitabl back then. Bell labs was located right outside of nyc for a reason.

Mr Griffin should learn about 'geography is destiny' and take a look at a map. Manhattan is situated smack in the middle of the population center that is the ny metro area and more broadly the northeast. Not to mention the top universities of the world harvard, yale to princeton, upenn and the dozens of world class universities in between. And the northeast is geographically a lot closer to europe and european financial capitals than miami is.

What has miami to offer? World class college football teams in florida? Is Tim Tebow going to be running 'goldman sachs south'? Will the miami-havana link replace the nyc-london link?

More like scoundrels paid to push an agenda. How do these types of garbage hit the front page so often one wonders.

> At the end of the Cold War, I enlisted in the Navy because it was a good opportunity; there was no ambiguity regarding the bad guys; the military leadership was good; the elected leadership was generally tolerable.

Sounds like you received a healthy dose of cold war propaganda.

> I'm no longer able to encourage the youth to follow in my footsteps, as the opposite of the above is generally the case.

You sure about that? Because the same leadership, military and political, are in power as they were at the end of the cold war. Nothing changed in the US after the cold war because we won.

I think you have to come to terms on who the bad guys real were. The soviets weren't the evil empire. The evil empire is the one that beat the soviets. Or maybe the eviler empire beat the evil empire.

Most people don't 'choose' anything. They take what is given to them or the easiest option. Netscape found that out the hard way when microsoft leverage their OS to push IE on everyone.

People can 'google' on bing, ddg, etc. They don't care whether they are actually 'googling' on google.

Maybe. But if irrational people at big companies are just throwing $21 billion away, the shareholders will hold them responsible. Especially the major shareholders.

It amazes me that reddit has maintained such a terribe search service for so long. It has been consistently and impressively bad. The most basic filtered full-text search would be better. But then again, if google is going to do the job for them, why waste your time and resources on improving search. Maybe if they blocked google, it'll force them to improve reddit search.
