All of this Russia talk is very suspicious to me. I saw an article last week that Russians were somehow already hacking US voting machines. Voting (besides absentee) hasn't even started yet, so it doesn't make any sense.

This seems like some careful planting of information so if Trump does win, Russia will be blamed for 'hacking the vote'.

When the DNC was hacked, there were calls to go after the people that did it. When Trump's tax returns were illegally obtained, nobody cares about who illegally retrieved this information.

I just wish this double standard would stop. It's pretty sick that illegal activity is justified by any means to justify the ends.

Voting for Trump probably won't stop this, but it sure will be a large slap to all of the mainstream media that is clearly biased against the enemies of the DNC, including Bernie Sanders.

I've worked at many smaller firms and never noticed any bias. Most companies just want to hire the best person for the job, regardless of race or gender. I also never noticed any pay disparity.

I disagree with the idea that we need to specifically look at minorities or women during the interview process. This makes the process non-random and non-equal to everyone involved, by design.

If there aren't enough women and minorities getting their resumes into the hands of hiring managers and recruiters, we should figure out why. Are they interested in these jobs? Do they have the right experience and education? Are they actually submitting their resumes?

Giving a specific group of people an unfair advantage by design is never a good thing. I feel like we are now crossing over the line line into systemic racism and sexism toward anyone not a minority/woman and it's by definition, not equality.

It's easy to blame Shkreli for the high price, but it's also the government's fault.

They have made it so difficult for a company to get FDA approval with the red tape and the cost, the result is a market with no competition, which ends up with high prices.

"someone refuses to bake a cake for gay people, I agree that is well within their rights. It is also my right to not buy a cake from them."

Well, if you look at the few cases that have happened in the last year, the business owners were forced, by law, to bake a cake.

"It is also my right to not buy a cake from them."

You're right, it is. But we aren't talking about many individual people deciding this. It's one person (or a few people) getting together an army of people to go against a cause they disagree with. It is now acceptable to bully someone you don't like to get them fired, call them the worst names in the world, ostracize them from society, and ruin their main source of income. Tolerance is no longer accepted. There needs to be complete subjugation at metaphorical gunpoint.

Social media (and our current leadership) have only encouraged this behavior. Twitter will allow BLM protesters to gleefully talk about murdering police officers, but then ban a conservative pundit from trying to honestly talk about their opinion on the real problems in the black community.

Our freedoms and rights are being slowly eroded away and small authoritarian groups are deciding how we should live our lives. Because our leaders won't admit this is becoming a problem (and some are even using the exact same tactics), the people like me that feel like my voice is never heard have to go to people like Trump. I don't really agree with everything Trump stands for..and I don't even know if he will be a good leader, but I just want to put a stop to this politically correct bullshit that is destroying our society.

The sad part is many people don't want to admit they are voting for Trump, because their house/car will get vandalized. A guy on my street had a Trump sign stolen multiple times, his house spray painted, and his mailbox destroyed. All because of his political views.

At this point, there is nothing that will change my vote because Hillary is a vote for the same bullshit I'm seeing now.

It's not 'price gouging', it's the free market..and it actually helps us. Why? There are only a finite number of hotels for a specific weekend. If the demand is going to be much higher than the supply, hotels will raise the price to prevent all of the hotels from getting sold instantly at the lowest price.

If they didn't do this, you would have no chance at getting any hotel during the busy times. Which may happen now, but it isn't going to fix the situation of not getting a hotel room during busy times.

Uber has been accused of this as well. In reality, it's the only way to get drivers to specific areas during undesirable times (otherwise, the demand would overtake the supply and customers would be waiting forever and a few people would get rides).

AirBnB will lower the price of hotels if it gets popular enough simply because it adds more to the supply side, which naturally reduces the overall price in the market.

Hotels profit handsomely by raising prices, but it's the only way to reliably curb demand.

It boggles my mind that people think this is okay, but when a business that doesn't agree with gay marriage and won't bake a cake, it needs government intervention (as long as they don't refuse a gay person from purchasing any cake, it should be well within their rights).

These developers are using bullying tactics to try to punish the Oculus developer for merely having an opinion. It only makes me want to vote for Trump even more.

It's pretty hypocritical to attempt to stop what you think is bigotry and exclusion by doing the exact same thing to the people you don't like.

With this line of thinking, our world will never change. We are better than this.
