| So the universities have many courses to do with politics, which are admittedly Marxist. But no equivalent conservative courses. So obviously the young adults are being taught biased information. This is clearly more effective than voting or protesting. I'm not going to discuss whether Marxism is g... |

| Dismissing someone as nuts without actually saying why they are wrong is just lazy. The Leeds University site says they are influenced by the Frankfurt school which is Marxist. 1. If you think the rich live by a different justice system, congrats you are at least a little bit Marxist 2. No, its not... |

| Protests are an effective means of putting pressure on the political system. Just voting is almost useless as not voting. Just voting imposes virtually no pressure. Further, when no party effectively represents your views no party has earned your vote. Taking to the streets helps demonstrate that y... |

| For point of reference, I have been a consistent Dem voter for 10 years now (am 39). So, I'm hardly a right winger. But all these protests that pop up seem to be vanity exercises to me. I see all these "national movements" where "young people are expressing their anger" by protes... |

| Well, when roughly half the country isn't compensated well enough to be subjected to federal income tax, that's going to happen. We're talking about benefits programs rather than simply benefiting from the existence of the government, so it's a bit surprising it's not a lot higher as an increasingl... |

I totally agree, the US government should get immunity. All hail the US government, the greatest government ever to have existed. |

| Can linear regression be used to determine how rates change over time? I am trying to do a project that determines how employment rates change each year for 5 years, for each industry, for certain geographical regions, and how to predict said rates for the next 5 years. How can this be done with Py... |

| Even if it's true, I don't see anything wrong as such with it being that way. Maybe it's just that more than half the population need positive financial intervention. I mean, its not true though thats the thing. Graphing it by income is dishonest and not an accurate way to analyze it. A better way ... |

| Had to shorten because of text limits, but full title should be, "Are 60% of households getting more in benefits than they are paying in taxes?" I see this quoted a lot by right wingers, and they have this full on graph with a CBO source from Tax Foundation: https://taxfoundation.org/60-pe... |

| I was appalled at the amount of personal information that is easily searchable now. There are multiple websites that list my name, address, phone number, DATE OF FREAKING BIRTH, past addresses, and known relatives. This is all prime info for an identity thief. Remember, the industry does not care if... |
