And what about receiving money from States funding terrorism? What about receiving money from States that kill and discriminate against women and gays, while pretending to be for them? And here we are comparing war and death, corruption, etc. to a real estate school? Really? The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant.

Right but they're literally writing the laws and what the punishments will be. In many cases (violating EPA regulations or harming consumers), the punishment for breaking the law is pocket change that is covered by their daily profit margin. |

Yes because calling me stone age and non adaptable is real polite. But you are right in that I am not trying to be polite with you either. And leave my children out if this. This is not about me personally disliking you it's about me finding your stated position reprehensible and unconscionable. All I know about you is that you are an unverified self proclaimed Russian jew hiding behind a wall of anonymity and spewing propaganda. With nothing but your own personal "experience" to back it up. Maybe your family was persecuted by the Russian Govt. I don't know your history, but you are the one who is being personal and it's about how you "feel" about socialism and Russia. You are incapable of coherent thought or articulation. And you cant stop conflating socialism with communist Russia because of your experience. This just shows that you take all mention of Russia personally and have no reasonable ability to have a discussion about it. We did have a discussion about socialism or I tried to. But you didn't make a single point other than repeating the propaganda you were taught as a child. And you make it sound like you are speaking for how all Russians feel when I have provided far more trustworthy data that more than 55% would rather go back to the old ways. Yet we should just believe an anonymous poster on a message board as the ultimate representation of the Russian community. Everyone is entitled to an informed opinion, ignorance and propaganda are not opinions worthy of consideration. Your inability to actually sort out the noise from the truth makes you unworthy of having an opinion. I cannot teach anybody anything. I can only try to make them think - Socrates

On December 22, 2009 the United States government awarded Lockheed Martin an $841.9 million contract to complete the production of 24 F-16 aircraft for Morocco. The contract added to an initial $233 million awarded to Lockheed Martin in June 2008 to begin production of the aircraft.[26] Morocco and the United States coordinated efforts to minimize threats and expand cooperation on nuclear incident response in January 2010. The United States’ National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) partnered with Morocco’s National Center for Nuclear Energy, Science and Technologies for four days of training and demonstrations in Rabat, Morocco. |

Steve Bannon: 'Darkness is good' Washington (CNN)Steve Bannon has no regrets. The ex-Breitbart executive, who serves as Trump's chief strategist for the new administration, told The Hollywood Reporter that "darkness is good." "Dick Cheney. Darth Vader. Satan. That's power. It only helps us when they (liberals) get it wrong. When they're blind to who we are and what we're doing," he said in an interview published Friday, his first outside of Breitbart since the election. |

This is the exact thing Marx warned about. Greedy people letting their last for money go out of control and becoming enslaved by an inanimate object with no real value. How are they going to get prosecuted and pay penalties if they actively invest money to lobby the law makers to tailor laws that benefit them and have people sitting on the courts who will rule in their favor? You want to talk about a rigged system. So basically what you're advocating is let corporations continue to both rip-off our citizens and negatively affect the public good just because they hire people? And this isn't just "a bunch of idiots working in management," this all starts at the top. Again, more conservative irony. They complain about too many regulations and regulatory agencies, but these regulations and agencies exist because of corporate misdeeds. The FDA was created because food corporations were putting garbage in our foods making people sick and killing folks. The number of cases of food poisoning now versus before the FDA arrived is staggering. You really don't think corporations knew what they were doing? Read up on some of things the tobacco industry was doing. Same with environmental issues. Corporations exist to make money and maximize profits and have proven over, and over, and over again that they don't care who or what suffers if it means making an extra dollar. And now we have one of them leading the free world. You are obviously just trolling because there's no way you can truly be this uninformed. |

This is the exact thing Marx warned about. Greedy people letting their last for money go out of control and becoming enslaved by an inanimate object with no real value. Obviously, it takes tax payer money but some public investments like infrastructure, education, and health care (i.e., a healthy workforce with good preventative medicine) pay for themselves. Other western democracies have figured this out already. Others (like spending more on the military than the next 8 countries combined) don't. |

![]() Tweet was deleted or there was problem with the URL: Over the summer, Popovich reached out to youth from disadvantaged backgrounds. On Sunday, the coach invited West to speak in San Antonio to approximately 350 kids at the Jo Long Theatre of Performing Arts at the Carver Community Cultural Center. The event lasted "3 or 4 hours," Popovich said, and included the entire Spurs team and basketball staff, as well as owners Peter and Julianna Holt. Zirin served as the moderator for the event, which covered "the gamut," Popovich said. "It was big time. Cornel West is amazing," Spurs guard Manu Ginobili said. "He's been fighting that fight for a long time. He's very clear, very well-spoken, had a lot of examples and names. He was right there. I had listened to a few of his interviews, and it's just mesmerizing to listen to him. So it was good to get to meet him and to listen to him face to face. And if you add that to the fact that there were 350 kids from Sam Houston High School learning and listening, I think it was very powerful. It was a great, great move." |
