  • If he's anti-censorship, and money is speech, then we should bet on how long he lives.

  • It's not enough that they need to work all year and deal with angry parents over every F. Now they need to be infotainment competing for attention with anything a kid can find on their cell phone.

  • I understand the paper, but why do they need wheels? Why are you leaving out guns?

  • Even if you put it in terms of money, they'll often remain willfully ignorant if the truth hurts their egos. Somewhere deep down, there's a terrifying suspicion that they're frauds who produce nothing of value.
