Is there a country with an economic system other than capitalism that is even remotely competitive with the US? Saying there's a crisis in capitalism because some people are poor is like saying the Warriors are in crisis because their

Corporations are owned by citizens, so it's not necessarily a mistake either way you slice it.

Most other industries are allowed to sell products that are contrary to their clients' interests. I don't see why wealth management should be any different. If my mechanic can try to sell me a bunch of services I don't real

Bizarre comment. Being able to quickly refuel is one of the key advantages internal combustion engines have over electrics.

I agree this news is pretty sad. The Guardian has no objectivity any more. I wish it were possible for newspapers to survive as non-partisan entities, but it's looking less and less likely that'll ever be true.

A $10 billion fine for the Cambridge Analytica "scandal" would be so far beyond reasonable as to merit criminal charges against Joseph Simons. $3 billion is already insanely ridiculously high.

There's no way this is actually a genuine question. It's the same reason anybody wants a job anywhere: because they'll eventually become homeless if they don't find a job.

The title allows the reader to infer a causation that hasn't been proven or investigated. Given that the people making the allegation are bitter ex-employees who have a financial incentive for it to be true, it's an allegation th

It's pretty shoddy journalism for the title of the article to assert this as fact even though it's just an allegation that hasn't even been investigated yet.

> Google confirmed it found fake ad clicking on all 6 apps, and said ad fraud was against Play store policy. So why aren't you removing the apps, I asked. They said they banned them from ad products and were still investigating. Rea

Corporate taxes shouldn't exist in the first place. They're just a sneaky way of double-taxing people. Corporations are really just groups of people. Those people already have to pay taxes on the income they receive from the cor

It's not a vulnerability. It actually shows their revenue is pretty geographically diverse. You can't trust financial news from propaganda outlets like Slate because they only care about their agenda.

If you stack your council with people of entirely one viewpoint, there's little point in having a council at all. Create a board entirely of Muslims and it's going to say we should fast during Ramadan. If Google tries to cite th

It seems to me that if they limited their recommendations to only things the entire board could agree on, they could still be productive. For example, they may not agree on how bathrooms should be organized, but they probably all agree that

Congratulations. You must be so proud of your seniors. Unfortunately, many seniors physically can't walk long distances. The fact that you don't personally know them doesn't mean they don't exist.

Yeah, and the other 55% use the sidewalks and the subway which the entire city helps subsidize. If we're going to cut funding for things that you don't personally use, we should cut public education before the roads. The roads ar

This is a solution in search of a problem. The overwhelming majority of people do not care what gender their digital assistant's voice is.

What a ridiculous, terrible article. To describe silicon valley as being obsessed with the virtue of suffering is just an outright lie.
