SO OP gets to claim based on his anecdotal experience that unions are awful and full of lazy people. But pointing out there are wildly successful unions filled with hardworking people is "cherry picking"?
Amazon's actions have absolutely nothing to do with this. US Senators should not be threatening retaliation against a company because of tweets that piss them off. Why is this only bad when Trump or a Republican does it?
So because something is declining...that means it doesn't exist. What a WONDERFUL world you live in!
"Talk about a strawman" ...YOU are the one who claimed everyone that was complaining had a legitimate complaint about law and order and enforcement of local codes. I mean it's literally in the first few paragraphs of…
"The world isn't angry, nor is it racist, nor is it violent" ...we clearly don't live in the same world.

"When you say it's an "educated" guess, educated how? It only seems to reflect the usual bigotry that comes out of the coasts." I lived first 28 years of my life in the rural south and now live in the midwest. My entire…
It sounds like you are just angry at the mere mention of race. Like we should just go through life pretending like race plays absolutely no factor in any law, human interaction, or bias unless someone says the "n" word…
"Sounds to me like those legitimate criticisms are exactly what the "insane Weaver residents" are complaining about." Really, the white dude who complained to the cops to do something about the black and latino car club…
I don't know what this is about human nature but it's infuriating. As someone involved in private aviation and small airports I can't tell you how many times people move in right next to an airport that has been there…
I think the idea that we should cancel people because of what their parents or partners did is incredibly wrongheaded. Is there even a shred of evidence this person did anything illegal, immoral or unethical themselves?…
My somewhat educated guess is that these farmers in the PNW don't share the same politics as farmers in the rural south or midwest. That and Republicans have grown way more hostile to immigration since 2010, so it's an…
What? You honestly think the Stanford PhDs who created Google couldn't get hired as basic SWEs? Seriously? I mean if true that says a lot more about the SWE interviews than it does about Stanford PhDs. I mean there are…
I guess it depends on the person. I hate swimming more than running. I love lifting weights but hated it for the first long while. Walking, sure but I never considered that exercise, again depends on the person.
The proximate cause of the failing farm was that it's impossible to turn a profit! They had a family member willing to do the hard work! "hard work" had absolutely nothing to do with this particular farm failing. This…
The article is about the "death of my family's farm". Not about whatever you think policy problems are. If you read the article, the fact that it's impossible to turn a profit in a small family farm is more important…
I'm pretty sure the fact that it's impossible to turn a profit in any of the "family" small scale dairy farms is a little more important than how hard the work is. And hard back-breaking work is not unique to farming.…
" I have zero doubt that if a representative sample of the population took a scientifically controlled IQ test (and everyone participated honestly, to the fullest extent of their abilities) that Feynman would have…
Feynman had an IQ of 125 which is just moderately above average, and if we were admitting people into top PhD programs based on IQ he likely would have never become a physicist of his stature. IQ is a deeply flawed…
A beautifully written personal narrative and your only thought it "Hah! I'm smarter than this guy!" ...ok
Yeah, this seems nice to say but much harder to actually do. As someone who has been quite close to death and recovered, I can say with 100% certainty you truly have no idea what that bone-chilling terror is to know…
What is "overanalysis" in this piece? It seemed a fairly straightforward if slightly controversial position to me. I'm not even a philosophy major. And as someone who has been near death before I tend to agree with what…
