“Wages are not really the root issue here, technology is, and no one wants to discuss it. Unskilled labor is being replaced by machines and soon the biggest job market on the planet, drivers, will be replaced as well. Companies have no incentive to pay anyone without sufficient technological skills o…”

“This is only the first step in a mechanism for attempting to outlaw cryptocurrency for the benefit of large banks. You can already track the ledger of any block chain network, (it's actually FAR easier to track than paper money, but it's just that it's anonymous when using shady accounts that aren't…”

“There are 2 scenarios here: 1. Prices are kept exactly the same during a disaster, and 2. Prices are so high it's indefensible as anything but shameful greed... I think the solution is in the middle. Prices would have to increase enough to incentivize people to distribute more goods to the area, but…”

“I remember Trump supporters saying they were glad to have a non-politician in office, a businessman who understood how to get the job done by budgeting and making deals instead of being in politics. So now he appoints a politician to play scientist... what say you now Trump supporters? Don't you wan…”

“States rights should only be superseded by federal law when it involves clear human rights violations. This allows for states to be independent and determine what may work best for the entire country. If we do not allow states their own authority, legalizing cannabis would have never been on the tab…”

“I find it very weird that I'm saying this, but I actually kinda sorta agree with that quote by Glenn Beck. Illegal immigrants do deserve to be treated like human beings. We need to abide by humane standards of human rights. However, it's still breaking the law and there are risks presented for thing…”

“I think it's a little sad this day in age, with the technology we have, we still feel the government needs to do all the legwork on this. I've read some of the statistics on this issue, and many of them don't seem to add up, and that women tend to often pick different jobs than men, and the calculat…”

“Philosophically: The government should not interfere with any individual's choice as long as it isn't harming others. Practically: the war on drugs has failed completely. We put people in cages over relatively harmless plants while bodies are piling up over pills prescribed by doctors. Psychedelic s…”

“Why is race even mentioned in regulations? Everyone should be treated the same under the law regardless of race. Send it to me and I'll fix it and you'll never have to change it again, at least not for that, since I'll make it inclusive for everyone. Meanwhile, work on impeaching the actual racist r…”

“501(c)(3) needs to be amended to be similar to the first amendment, for the sake of consistency. We should not allow ANY organization that promotes any race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity, religion, etc, to be tax exempt. Anyone who wants to help their community tax free should do s…”

“Use block chain technology for voting and this will not be an issue. Each person will be able to track their vote and the votes of everyone else anonymously on a public ledger. And yes, paper ballots get hacked, it's called election fraud and it's been around a very long time. I don't think most peo…”

“Didn't we completely lose somewhere in the tune of 11 billion during our occupation of Iraq? I may have that number a little off but it was a shitload of money. I also get wanting to save money and if you don't think the military should be spending money on reassignment surgery, fine... but ban them…”

“If it's a punishment at your job to be denied a raise, I want your job. This is a matter of not spending more during a deficit. A punishment would be cutting pay or firing someone. This sounds like a great idea to me, but all I see on either side on this is personal judgment... but I guess that's ho…”

“Let's be honest here, the media treats everyone unfairly. If they don't polarize any given topic, they don't get ratings. However, Trump threatening them is the strategy of a tyrant and is very dangerous. There really isn't much they have to exaggerate to make him look bad. His own words repeatedly …”
