That's something that shouldn't matter one iota.

Over-regulation is mostly a red herring in the off-shoring argument. It can be a factor (mostly in heavily polluting industries that no American really wants to live near), but for most businesses it pales in comparison to the fact that Americans are expensive to employ. And no amount of tax reduction and deregulation is going to make American labor rates comparable to those in Bangladesh. That's true for pretty much every job in developed countries today.Why some positions are off-shored while others are not is a more interesting discussion. Positions that require acces to local resources, local knowledge and first person interaction with other people are less likely to be off-shored. Also, job movement goes both ways. Often people will move to where their skillset will afford them better wages. I think Trump mentioned something about this phenomenon, at some point.

You mean the Austrian School that hates the Fed because muh praxeology or Monetarism which just wants to call the central bank something else? Ooh, I had no idea libertarian economics came from an outright rejection of empiricism. Wow.

Online polls? Really? They might as well include our little presidential election thread. Polish election last year. Official Polls: Komorowski 69% Duda 14% Internet Polls" Komorowski 32% Duda 47% You can check Wikipedia who is the new president. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polish_presidential_election,_2015#Second_round Not quite that, but ok.

There is no amount of tax and regulation reductions that is going to stop businesses from leaving the US. If there's a qualified workforce available somewhere else that does the work for a tenth of US wages, businesses are going to leave no matter what. I don't see what tax reductions can offset that. In any case, the US plummeted the world's economy through lack of regulation and oversight, so I don't see how dismantling the Fed is going to help overcome that, in any way. An overhaul of the Fed might be in order, as the financial markets continue to do the crap that got the giant recession started. Wholly removing the one financial federal regulatory body the US has seems insane.

Don't you support a guy who wants to kill the Fed?

Not to anyone who wouldn't vote for either of them. Maybe if they'd actually let a third party candidate into the debates, it'd have been exciting... If you had four bullets in a revolver instead of two, would your sense of excitement change during a game of Russian roulette?

You don't have time to do what you want. Stop procrastinating. Unsurprisingly, this is probably something my older self will want to tell my current self.

Yeah, obviously those things aren't going to happen. My point is more that there seems to be a non trivial percentage of Trump supporters who think Trump might do catastrophic things, and they're happy about it.

Waste of perfectly good octopus.

It also depends on what the pseudonym was. "ThanksObama2008" wouldn't indicate that he didn't know, for example. Edit: Interesting survey:

It runs fine on a Xiaomi Mipad. It just gets a bit hot.

These sorts of riots existed before BLM and will actually continue to exist for a long time.

Wait, is that from an example image from a college course on false equivalence? Or are modern millionaire elites participating in some sort of violent riots that I don't know about?

I'm still trying to figure out how a candidate who wants to get rid of the fed is considered a viable candidate.

Like Perlmutter wasn't unlikable enough.

How Wick's character was wholly defined by other characters and the setting rather than almost anything he actually did or said. The undercurrent of dread and understated excitement that permeates the film when Wick is not dispensing ass kicking, was what made the film a cut above other action movies. The length of the action scenes or the depth of the underworld's characterization had little to do with the film's quality. Of course, it's obviously possible to make a great sequel with a completely different focus. I can't help but get PTSD flashes of the Matrix sequels, though.

They are not all Disney owned actors, whatever that means these days, and it's typical for Hollywood actors to lean Democrat. I'm certain it doesn't take anything to get them to speak against Trump.

That makes it sound like they haven't got one clue as to what made John Wick a good movie.

I hope Volo doesnt read this....he will have a field day expressing his horror at BLM being racist ...volo is very sensitive about these things Here's the thing and I wanna ask u a question because I can't seem to get an answer from my friends about this. With the cop killing innocents, why is when it happens to a white/Latino/Asian/etc it's viewed as the cops ****ed up badly, but when it happens to a black person its a racist act and not simply a huge **** up with like with the others? Because there is racial bias. This mostly about white vs black but there's some mentions of hispanics as well: http://www.vanityfair.com/news/2016/07/data-police-racial-bias Also, this doesn't mean that the cop is actively racist, but rather that there is built in prejudice into police behavior. Racist act doesn't necessarily mean the guy who acted is an evil white supremacist. Minorities are actually less likely to be shot by the Police than whites: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/true-crime/wp/2016/04/27/this-study-found-race-matters-in-police-shootings-but-the-results-may-surprise-you/ Also add into the problem with blacks and hispanics being overpresented in crime to begin with. Where does the racism begin and where does the fact of police just responding to criminal activity end? http://www.bjs.gov/content/pub/pdf/cvus08.pdf Unless these issues are investigated and measures taken accordingly, nothing will be solved. All the collected statistics on actual shootings seem to disagree with that study of police shooting simulations.

With Trump the point of him divulging his tax returns is that he made it a positive point of his campaign that he is a sharp businessman who is worth several billion dollars (3? 5? I forget). I assume that his problem with releasing his tax returns is that they would disprove that claim, and Trump is nothing if not a self aggrandizing mook.
