Haha I can't believe Im getting downvoted for the comment. Classic hacker news. Anyway, did you read the article? He's kicking out a bunch of ambassadors and closing down diplomatic outposts in a way that will be hard to undo.

So is this how US politics will be from now on? Every president spends their lame duck period doing everything possible to sabotage the next guy (if they're the other party)? I seem to recall GWB having a bit more decorum than Obama

Do you or anyone else have any further sources studying this split between "fast thinkers" and "deep thinkers"? I would be very interested in a way to find people who were "deep;" it seems like most of the tec

I don't understand your comment about Southwest. He doesn't give a "quick dismissal," he mentions things about Southwest that are unique and seem to make them an exception to this general trend. What exactly is your cr
