Of course not. We shouldn't have governments at all, because all they do is exploit us. That's why they exist. All you need to see is that they're taking our money by force, and you can make sense of everything they do - it&#

Well the way for a reactor to "demonstrate an improvement" over Fukushima would be to withstand the same kind of earthquake + tsunami that Fukushima didn't. It doesn't make sense to say it's hard to demonstrate impr

That's all fine, but for example Fukushima is still not under control, and may still cause enormous harm. That kind of stuff is why we need to get rid of nuclear power altogether. All that's holding us back is politicians and th

It's just politicians and their cronies benefiting at the masses' expense, i.e. the system working as intended.

Yeah, but more accurately, his bribes might depend on "not understanding" something.

Politicians "not understanding" something is an age-old excuse. They don't even give a fuck about anything besides themselves, because they're psychopaths. They're smart too, because otherwise they wouldn't h

Look, all you need to know about the government is that they take our money by force. If the masses benefited from having a government, they wouldn't need to do that. No seriously. Think about it . It really is as simple as that. Appl

Basically it's just propaganda. They're using complicated econospeak trying to confuse you into thinking that everything is alright. In reality, nothing has been fixed since 2008, and Western economies are in shambles behind the s

You can rest assured that the cameras are being used by the government. All over the West, they're clearly showing us they don't want us to have any privacy. As for the article, it is, of course, some sort of propaganda. I guess

Does it matter? If there's enough pressure for MS to respond, they'll spew some bullshit to placate the masses. What they won't do is change their spying ways. Besides, it's probably not even all Microsoft's fault.
