What Altman doesn't need to worry about is the blowback and boycotting that occurs when actual CEOs speak out. They know what he refuses to admit: that a non-vocal majority of this country strongly supports the President and will NOT s

Can't wait to see what Altman writes when the voter fraud is investigated and it's over 3 million fraudulent votes. We already know of 800,000 ( http://m.washingtontimes.com/news/2017/jan/26/hill

What's your take on censorship? For instance, if there were scandal allegations involving your favorite politician, and a Neocities user was writing about them, would you take the pages down at their request?

At this point, I'd only like to know why you're making personal attacks on someone you've never met in order to support and defend a politician who's committed federal crimes -- one who you've likely also never met.

First off, arguing "against the other side" has nothing to do with these emails and is offtopic. We're referencing what was discovered in the leaked emails. And inside, you can find documented proof of the Uranium One thing a

I'm upset enough that our politicians take monstrous amounts of money from corporate lobbyists... let alone foreign nations in questionable areas!! That part is unforgivable. Justify it however you want, there was some very chilling

Is everyone here forgetting the millions given by foreign nations?? The outright collusion with media? The lack of sensitivity to LGBT rights? The fact that they never discussed how to actually solve the Nation's problems, only worked

Ahhh, my bad, I didn't dig enough to see that you were Canadian. If Trump's policies "work" with respect to employment, you may certainly see similar dominos fall. TBD of course.

When did I ever imply those things? I will bluntly state that if you have the kind of writing talent that OP displayed, and you cannot afford a bicycle, you are simply not applying yourself. That level of skill alone could easily net you

So, is the argument here that more expensive healthcare shouldn't make for more expensive insurance?

I wholeheartedly disagree. If I choose to live rent-free in my parents' basement, I will not get fined for doing so. I keep ALL of my cash. But I'll STILL get fined for having not buying myself insurance. I'm not sure what

There is a huge difference between a fine and not receiving an incentive. If I have $1000 in my pocket right now, I will still have $1000 in my pocket if I choose not to go after an incentive. But if I have $1000 in my pocket right now, I w

Given the energy policies our President is going to be taking, I'm willing to bet your friends in oil will be employed within two years. We'll see, but there's quite a bit of excitement with my chemical engineering friends.

Do you get fined for not buying a house?? Because you do get fined for not buying health insurance. We can argue the semantics of the word 'mandate' all day, but your analogy is upside down.

Altman acts like buying insurance was impossible when self employed pre-ACA. Give me a break. I shopped online and bought a sensible plan just like anything else. There were tons of choices and plenty of competition. This whole notion that
