Supporting the middle class creates ways for people to move into the middle class from poverty.

Real weird that people don't seem to get that competition from small, local businesses is what we want to end the corporate grip on our lives. Millionaires get venture capital loans, not $50k small business loans.

It seems like you are conflating statements made by completely different groups of people? Has Harris mentioned a lack of workers?

Yeah, probably. You know what's not going to pass congress? Any of that.

It's also not really a prosecutor's job to decide what the law should be.

The attack just reeks of "look a woman did a thing, they're all the same, right?" The misogynistic attacks tended to land more with the public when they were directed towards Hillary, a figure who was viewed unfavorably by a lot of people. But with kamala it feels like "well she's a woman" is their only attack. I don't know how the election will turn out but trump's campaign seems desperate right now.

Plenty of non-rgb keyboards, like anything aimed at business. But also you can just turn the rgb off.

"Unpaid work" is pretty much all OSS development. "Here's a thing I made, anyone can use it for whatever they want as long as they give credit" is a very simple philosophy. Not everybody who works on OSS is opposed to the existence of closed source commercial software, and rather a lot of people don't like viral licenses like the GPL. Really out of line to call people who contribute their time and effort to making free software available to everyone losers just because you disagree with their choice of license.

This seems like complaining that the BSD license does exactly what it intends to do.

It would be funny if, after a certain point in their life, elves learning one thing made them forget another thing.

Stuff like Bluetooth, backup cams, and a screen to put your navigation directions on are handy. But I don't think my car needs a whole OS.

I'd say no, knowledge that we will some day die is unique to humans.

They certainly experience ennui though.

This is a very uninformed response that seems to be based on nothing more than "I don't like business people."

Like I said, they're mostly scams. Warranty scams. Posing as "your bank" (which they, of course, don't name). Etc. Legitimate companies follow the do not call list, since there are heavy penalties if they don't.

A lot of people who obviously didn't go to business school commenting on this post. Case studies make up quite a bit of business classes.

I would argue that there is intrinsic value in education and that you can't measure it purely in terms of dollars in vs dollars out. Perhaps that means that education in a country where it is very expensive is a luxury. But I would also say that if you go to a four year college and feel like you got nothing out of it than a piece of paper, that's on you.

Or we could use a combination of letters, sometimes referred to as a word, to represent it.

The US has a do not call list. The vast majority of robocalls are illegal scams which originate from outside of the country.

I think they're just saying that hero shooters are a genre that saw a big boom around when overwatch came out but are now no longer trending.

Budget, probably. Republicans have been trying to strangle the USPS for years.
