We should never forget that Equifax first tried to charge consumers for a freeze until consumers complained so loudly that they were forced to give it for free. They clearly have no respect for their consumers and show/flaunt it. Legislators have failed to deal with this issue in a modern way. We need to assume that every American is compromised and freeze accounts by default.

Equifax should NOT be allowed to operate.

This still happens in the bus station where I live.

>degradgation of the American democracy

First, they are lamenting the current administration instead of making the point alluded to by the title of their article. Second, the degradation of the American democracy was always occurring. The means have changed from manipulation using money and mass media towards spread of truly free ideas via unfiltered technology. This led to a shift towards populism. The mass media and power elite have immediately called this a threat to democracy, when in fact it is only a threat to _their_ waning control over democracy. Lies are truth and truth are lies.

That was a pretty weak strawman attempt. There are different types of conservatives. How do you know he identifies as an free market advocate?

In my experience the left was not capable of having reasoned debate even before the election. They prefer to shut it down.

My office mate talks to himself incessantly from work start to work finish. He speaks every thought anyone could possibly have throughout the day, unfiltered, from the mundane "Let me try the `grep` command, woops that didn't work... ok ah I forgot to put the pipe character" to things like: "Now time for the bathroom", "I really should not have eaten that", "Now time for a smoke". To make matters worse, every text message he makes a new annoying sound ranging from a loud siren (BRRRRRRRRRRRN!), at full volume, to the beginning of a Disturbed rock music song (Oooo wa ah ah ah!).

I once got him moved to my manager's office temporarily so I could focus. Then my manager got tired of him and demanded that I take him back.

> So how do we determine who is an illegal immigrant?

Good question. It must be hard for law enforcement to do this considering the laws protecting probable ones.

Only when it is brought into the organization.

In your opinion it is the least compelling argument.

I, too, think that I'd be more creative if I was unshackled from the workforce but I'm hesitant to change an entire economic system just to fund my startup. There are various options available including loans and savings/investments.

They do it out of necessity but I can imagine how someone who climbs for sport might actually enjoy this.

The Job? Wait by the mountainside until beehives form at random locations. Harvest. Sell. Repeat. Enjoy living in one of the most pristine areas of the planet. Live in perpetual balance with nature. Just don't fall or get stung ;)

This already exists. One example is luxury brands. A middle class person might infrequently buy something from a luxury clothing boutique as a gift whereas Ivanka Trump might shop for clothes there regularly. I'd wager that the more expensive a good or service is, the more important it is that the business cozy up to the the wealthier customers (the whales).

I don't care about Republican voter opinions on Moore. Similarly, I don't care about Democrat voter opinions on Moore. It isn't up for us to decide, but the courts. I'm so glad we don't live in a system where a party's opinion would land me a prison sentence.

Their salaries are not the same though, if you look at the table. I do agree it is a silly idea though because I'd rather keep my salary secret, for privacy reasons.

Just because other states have weaker economies doesn't mean the residents aren't contributing their relative fair share.

No longer shall the welfare programs in your state be subsidized by the federal government. If Californians are for said programs in their state, then they should subsidize them.

I think it is hilarious when people study something like this. Hopefully this has some scientific or business applications but at the end of the day we underestimate how extremely SHALLOW we all are. Improve your physical attractiveness, improve your odds. People love shortcuts but there aren't any.
