No to sugar tax, No to govenment power and greed
I cannot believe that people actually agree with the government desire to tax soda, etc... under the guise that it is ''helping'' people to chose wise eating habits and to become healthy!! The only thing the government desires is more, more, and more of our money in their pockets and less, less, less rights of the people that oppose them to stop ...

Overage Tokers and Slate Booze ads
Pardon me, folks, for being slightly off topic, but it would seem to be somewhat hypocritical and ridiculous of Slate to be accepting ads for ''Jack Daniels'' on the same page as an article about marijuana smoking enjoyed by ANY age group. Why not get NORML or some other groups that fight for decriminalization & legalization to post ads for ...

But where we focus that aggression has changed the way we fight for better half of the 20th century.

monetization
Actually most of the annoying parts of the redesign - splitting 'profile' away from 'home', stepping through multiple pages to get anywhere, unweighted, real-time newsfeed - were made to increase the number of ads each user sees every day. Facebook can take for granted that it has valuable eyeballs coming in every day. There's really no ...

Re: Fleeing Millionaires
No, you have it wrong, Fella. When we have a Fiscal Crisis, it is because the Banks, the Elites, and their bought and paid for, 24 hour Media Saturation and Pollution of the Democratic Debate Field, have so ruined the Culture and the Country and the Economy, as to affect the employability and opportunity of Middle Class and Working Class guys like ...

Advertising is Itself Unethical
Every once in a while someone suggests that one of the pillars of the American hyper consumerism that is laying waste to the earth is morally questionable. The response is usually vitriolic.

Re: capital market regulation
You can unpack at any time. Your house is being bought and sold under you with very little indication to you (an email). You may be renting for short periods of time say a few hours. But, you will always know the value of you home because you will have just bought it or sold it.

Re: capital market regulation
This is a conservative system. This system just removes the time aspect of the capital market. It turns capital into a hot potato - you can have all the capital you want you just have to keep switching it for other capital every 7 days. Mark-to-market is the perfect result of this system.
