Really? I would have said because of all the school shootings.

At least with dotcom and mortgages we had an assets bubble that didn't have a shelf life of 5 years. It's not like the capacity we are building now will be useful after the end of the decade

Here's the thing, if we keep doing politics that plays to people's stupidity rather than their ability to think independently then we might as well ditch democracy.

We don't know if the victim did nothing though, she talked to a detective for over 20 minutes and so far we have not seen any documents regarding that conversation. She could have even done more than you, but we should not expect her to even though that is the response of some victims, it is not a universal response.

Capitalism is when most people don't know the definition of capitalism:

an economic and political system in which a country's trade and industry are controlled by private owners for profit.

Which sounds a lot like oligarchy with a profit motive.

There are plenty of reasons to make up a story.

Like being targeted for harassment and possibly get murdered? This is not a typical rape accusation, it is made against someone who has been carrying out extra-judicial murders abroad.

And I bet she took great effort to gather evidence

This is classic rape apologetics. It is not the victim's job to collect evidence while they are distressed, that's the job of the investigators.

There's another report in the files where a woman did report her rape to the police and she was later found dead with her "head blown off". Under a functional justice system that would be thoroughly investigated, under our system it was quickly ruled a suicide because she took "bad cocaine".

These papers are being released because our justice system did not protect these victims. It is up to the public to ask questions and we need not presume innocence of the powerful as they failed to protect the vulnerable.

I mean chattel slavery requires rape at some point and the vast majority of the Founding Fathers were slave owners....

Not true, there are dozens of people who changed their mind, dozens!

Ehh, we don't know because where is that 20 minute conversation she had with a detective documented? Also, if the intention was to harm Trump's image or whatnot, wouldn't a media circus be where to go with the story?

I'm skeptical they could do it in a way that meaningfully inherits stability from Linux. Imagine bolting on their service control on top of systemd or map their registry system to /etc. They either bring all the bad over to Linux or write something that doesn't support the windows ecosystem.

I'm going to call a spade a spade.

In the same spirit, Americans are more interested in telling themselves they are right than recognizing what is good.
