I was about to comment nearby that the phrase "billionaire robber barons" is redundant because there are no billionaires who are not living and profiting by means that should be illegitimate.

But you just reminded me that even "robber barons" is a conflicted term because it implies that there is or was some other type of more acceptable, more legitimate baron.

I suppose I'm probably playing "too socialist for school" here, but there never should have been any barons, and right now there ought not to be any billionaires. Their very existence is proof of a failed form of government.

Could have just let the Sasquatch look for them. There's a pretty good record of people being returned unharmed but with very vague memories.

what's the symbol for "sarcasm status uncertain"... /u?

An increasing number of people don't mind risking getting shot, since there's no longer any future.

Someone should sell him a fake, mocked-up Greenland, fly him there for a photo shoot, and disappear with the money. And leave him stranded too.

jetAudio has been doing a great job of playing all my music off my local/home SAMBA server over WiFi for a couple of years. It's a little un-polished but I've never found anything else that made it as easy to connect and just play tracks, folders, albums, or playlists without too much bloat.

Odd how cruelty is in quotation marks but SLAMS! isn't

The missing link here is they want you to enter voluntary slavery when you realize it's the only remaining way to afford healthcare.

The case you're referring to is the murder of Bob Lee. Time seems to fly, for sure, but that was actually just last year. The trial of suspect Nima Momeni is ongoing; I believe the closing arguments were made just a couple of days ago.

Guaifenesin works very very well for me as an expectorant.

You may find this whole site interesting, it returns often to various angles on the pitfalls of QE and of the economic trends that led up to it.

What I've linked there is his summary or introduction page, but all of his semi weekly economics blog posts are very engaging.
