Vinyl records are the new NFTs.
Have you considered handguns as a factor?
Seems like you don’t know there’s a difference between handguns and hunting rifles.
In that case, I guess I’m not being idealistic, just reasonable.
What on earth are you trying to say?
If you are claiming that the FBI only investigates republicans for political reasons, you might want to read about Hilary Clinton’s run for the presidency in 2016.
If they aren’t, then they can’t claim to be acting in the best interests of the country.
It’s not better to force a default than to accept the status quo and wait until they are voted back into power.
It’s only the GOP who is cutting the FBI budget.
> Oh, FBI budget will be boosted after White House comes to the discussion table.
Is the GOP bluffing about not raising the debt ceiling?
None of that matters if they are choosing not to protect out country against foreign attacks. You don’t get to blame other people for dereliction of duty.
Today the GOP led congress passed a bill to cut FBI funding.
Erm, your argument has nothing to do with college degrees at all. You’re just saying Canadian police shoot less people than American police, which nobody is disputing.
True, but it’s only idealistic because nobody is seriously talking about it. The two options seem to either be defund or militarize. If more people talk about sensible options regularly then they won’t seem like pipe dreams.
In any case the point here is that college degrees clearly don’t serve as great police training.
College degrees don’t seem to have done anything to make the police less abusive. Why waste money on them when we could instead give police better police training and resources?
I think the implication is that a college degree no longer represents progress.
European countries pursuing Chinese tech companies?
I did. You’re just wrong.
Warranties can be outsourced to third parties, or have insurance clauses to avoid such issues.

AI development should just shift to a domain where copyright isn’t regarded as a serious thing, such as China.
My guess is that it will be successful over a multi-year timeline like the Apple Watch.
Done well, a mixed reality headset is just too useful a tool. Imagine adding AI to it and you have something approximating a holodeck in terms of its usefulness.
That said, I can imagine myself waiting until V2. I tend to buy Apple products early, but only when I can see how they are going to make my life better. I’ll need to see this to be convinced.
In this situation the usual solution is for the new entrant to offer much better warranties etc.
Sure, but nobody is explaining why. I assume people simply don’t understand it properly.
Your argument makes no sense at all. The whole point is that John Deere captures excess profit by doing this.
That leaves room for a competitor to take some of that profit by operating a business that is less profitable than Deere’s but more attractive to customers, e.g. by allowing repairs.
In theory this should put pressure on Deere to lower prices or improve their offerings in some way.
The result would be better value for customers from both Deere and the new entrant, and more choice.
The question is - why is nobody undercutting Deere?
This is clearly not an answer to the question: "Is there any writer who is positive about the promise of America that you would recommend instead?"
Are you one of the authors of redsails.org?
That's a blatantly dishonest answer.
I asked for a writer who is positive about the promise of America and in response you replied with a link to a critique of capitalism on a Marxist website that is pro-Stalin and pro-China and goes as far as to say Nazism had an American-capitalist essence.

The right in the US seems to be banning books and university courses. It’s not obvious that there is any difference. Extremists try to control speech either way.
Why doesn’t the market just avoid the whole thing, which is toxic?
