I've never installed chrome unless I had to to test and fix a bug in it. I always use ff except on my android phone. By the second out third click ff crashed on my android phone. It makes me so sad that I can't use it on my phone.

They do that now in shell companies and off shore accounts. No I don't agree with that. Someone may have asked the founding fathers that too. You know the monarchy will never go for independent colonies, right? Political systems change

I read Piketty's capital. It's very long. My current best solution to the problem of capitalism is this: once a year the richest n people must divest themselves of all assets minus the median annual salary and start over.
