As a rancher in Texas, I have more problems with Cougars than wolves. Neither or an issue really. Wild pigs and coyotes are a problem and must be managed. Water and air quality (much improved since I was a child 40 years ago) and the depred

No. It's not wrong at all. THIS is the obstacle to free expression. If you want to police actions according to societal laws, that is moral. Policing speech you don't like IS fascist.

Then why the guild-drama act? Why are users supposed to exercise skepticism about anything the core team says, without any information from the other side so that we may judge for ourselves where our skepticism is warranted?

Are you saying this is the monetization of virtue signaling?

That could be it. But there's of course no way to know what the source of her neurosis is with no further information.

Team rituals that trigger a productivity phase have no usefulness. Team communication has no value. Team leader having a chance to quickly gauge progress is not helpful at all.

Agree. And frankly, anyone that meets half those negative standards is nowhere near competent.

Whether or not you're serious, and forgetting the salaciousness of your satire, there's the point about how completely irrelevant it is as an analogy to what is in question

There is very little interest in any large capex projects of any type, in any location, on the part of banks. They're buying US paper instead. To be expected, given the high inflation rate.

Because eliminating vice is not a proper role for government? Because choosing among the vices to tax is..I don't know, bad? I prefer legislators having to balance asking for new initiatives with having to pay for them with universal t

'We' have been talking in first principles about this and other constitutional touchstones for generations. 'We' don't agree with you in sufficient numbers to allow you alter our concept of free speech.

I agree with your point completely. The 'misinformation' is unimportant. What is important is restricting access. You correctly note that, where legal, any of those groups were allowed to hand out nonsense printed on cheap pulp. T

To extend this somewhat, not only does paid and quasi-paid political speech(paying operatives/algorithms rather than a newspaper) not face the same accountability re content on Facebook (for example), Facebook does not face the same ac

It is more predatory than simple business lending leading to making enough revenue to justify more private lending leading to forming a small public company. The only reason there is so much VC money in this industry is because there is lit

It's not out of the box thinking. The problem is that you want to throw one of the values out of the calculation box. You want billionaires to provide capital because there is 'no other way to get a startup going (paraphrasing)&#x

If, as you mistakenly assert, capital is scarce, then providing capital is a value. You can't have it both ways.

The best part is that those who believe that extraction leases are rife with 'corporation giveaways' don't see that carbon offsets will be just as fraudulent.

If they are paying the taxes rather than a citizen, then no, they are not net tax payers.
