@KeithMalinak This only works out if the perpetrators are found, arrested, charged, face trial, and thereafter pay restitution for their criminal actions.
Otherwise, it's a bunch of kind people doing a kind thing that yet still has no bearing on what damages were incurred by the two suspects.
@BasedMikeLee Mr. Markey is behaving as though a mafia boss claiming possession of territory and people there.
Why has this commonwealth so blithely kept him in the senate for decades? Do too few people around here know what he's all about? Or, do too many people around here agree with him?
@RealJamesWoods It's funny. People whine about coarse language in political discussion.
Meanwhile, 250 years ago, men who first tried using debate, postings, and letters to convey their dislike for the treatment of the colonies, later had no further choice but going to war, to found these U.S.
@ericweinstein A faulty piece of software is a faulty piece of software. If this faulty piece of software is loaded down with a slippery slope of security issues that put at risk people's safety--no matter if reputationally, financially, and/or bodily--it ought to be patched, or be scrapped.
@ThomasSowell To demand "there has to be some nature of altruism" is to advocate theft. You cannot force charity out of an individual. At its core, that acts to cancel out freedom of choice, disallowing free will. This is what socialism, and he or she who pushes it, always runs into headfirst.
@RealJamesWoods I think I remember climbing across that bridge in Medal of Honor: Frontline.
Nijmegen Bridge, I think it's called, in Holland. Pivotal location during WWII.
Though, maybe I got the wrong bridge.
@DLoesch Platner yesterday: "I'm not a national socialist. This tattoo? It's meaningless! Pay it no mind."
Platner today: "It's time to acquire Elon Musk's--and any future trillionaire's--means of production, for the greater good."
@RealJamesWoods Iterating upon reiterated iteration.
Embodiment of creative stagnation.
The kind of titanic shift, so invisible to all who don blinders, that threatens civilizational progress itself.
And, many people are just eating it up, believing in the illusion of how freeing it seems.
