I should have said I think you are operating under false assumptions, are making invalid comparisons, and are therefore drawing unwarranted conclusions. I think you might be confused about what Rust offers and from where Rust's safety

Government is not "industry". That word usually means "private sector". If you receive low wages in the private sector, it might be an indication that you're not providing much value, and that your time and effort

The Liberty Fund doesn't engage in political advocacy. They primarily (re)publish literature important to classical liberalism and the moral case for liberty (and history and law, etc). They also put on occasional conferences, and they

Insider trading is not fraud. If someone is merely trading based on insider knowledge (that is, they aren't also being fraudulent about it), there is no deception. A person ought to be able to dispose of their property when and how

There were no threats. Stop making stuff up. The comments were about "digging up dirt". Sleazy as that is, it doesn't even require personal contact.

There was no mention of blackmail. There was no mention of revealing the location of children. There was no mention of "rifling" through the location metadata of another female journalist. There was no "implication" abou

Rulers can certainly provide rules and conventions. But that is not the only, or best, place they can come from. Rules are usually emergent, and these kinds of rules are better suited to the communities they arise in, since they are tailor-

Complaining about "privilege" is limp-wristed ad hominem intended to silence viewpoints you don't like, as evidenced by your refusal to take seriously zo1's points ("You should be happy ..."). zo1's argume

Obama doesn't care about contradictions. He's just saying whatever he knows will get him support from credulous fools. That's how it always works. Politicians don't care about you. They don't care about the things y

In principle, the more people and companies avoid taxes the better: less revenue for states to use as collateral for their various wars and illegal projects. In practice, Luxembourg appears to have given preferential treatment to larger cor

I don't understand the link name or what's going on with the page. "From now on"? What? Like, before today Quest wasn't a browser? What's so special about a web browser? The page doesn't have any answers.
