Vietnam was more of a failure due to anti-American agitators within the u.s. government and media, but your other points are valid. Also people who think the military would turn against the people are insane... the people stockpiling ammo are overwhelmingly military related.

No offense, but you have no idea what you're talking about. He never says that the water is magical, and he also never says that liberals are bringing the apocalypse. The left in America shoots themselves in the foot time and time again by refusing to learn the right's viewpoints and effectively counter them. The party of "skeptics" who live under a rock (or maybe in a cave?).

I'm not sure if you were referring to my comment but if you were, they are state and local regulations. Federal regs that made roadblocks were usually tax related

I'm young and healthy so that wasn't an issue for me. I have looked at everything from starting shooting ranges to specialty chemical companies. Most regulations are local. Just look at your local zoning and building codes. It's probably 500+ pages. The other main ones are dealing with taxes. "Straightforward" ventures like algotrading suddenly become not worth it when you realize you will spend more time writing code to ensure that all of your transactions are meticulously recorded than you will actually analyzing data and writing trading algorithms. Not to mention you probably need a team of accountants for the million+ trades that can happen in a year. Without a specific industry I can't really explain the regulations as each has their own. I'll try to come back later and explain more but I'm pretty busy today

That wasn't my intention but I see your point. It's not even the majority of the laws, and was just meant to be part of the joke at the end. However I specifically said we should protect the environment so anyone who feels that way probably doesn't have great reading comprehension

I have been trying to start my own business for years now. The hoops you have to jump through in every industry I have looked at are not insignificant. It makes a huge barrier to entry which makes the risk vs. reward ratio a little more skewed towards risk than I can handle. We really need to do something about unnecessary overregulation. We can protect our environment without needing a team of lawyers to open a lemonade stand (hyperbole).

True, yet they also do it because they believe women like it. They can't see the woman's perspective, and because they would love to be catcalled by a woman they think the woman feels the same way about being catcalled.

Yeah I cringed when I read that. Opinions like that are why we have Trump. Why do non white guys get a pass on sexism? The racism of lower expectations is so pervasive of white women in tech it's absolutely disgusting

Did you not see the front page of reddit? The Russia scandal was completely gone and there was nothing but confeve memes as far as the eye could see. Don't let your irrational hatred of a man cloud your judgement. The fact that you are so easily duped by such a simple juke... literally 7 jabs of his thumb, should warn you that you need to spend some time in self reflection

I agree. Also the covfefe thing was such a blatant distraction and the left took the bait with pride.

Too many people go to college these days and too many people choose majors that don't benefit them. We don't need millions of waiters/waitresses with psychology degrees from bottom of the barrel universities. There is a higher education bubble and hopefully it will pop so we can go back to a time where you don't need a master's degree just to get an interview
