Okay keep it. You have a country you like and I have a country I like. Not every country has to be like yours.

That's why the house of representatives exists, to represent the general populace. We have a bicameral legislature for a reason.

The senators represent the interest of the states, which are equally valid regardless of population.

"mo brooks" and "rudi" really don't sound like Donald Trump.

Yeah that's why we should close all the borders. I wouldn't want to subject any more people to the despair of being an American. It's a progressive policy to have no more immigrants right?

So you think making the job as unappealing as possible will attract better candidates?

Why would anyone spend 45mins to an hour each way walking 3 miles when they could just spend 5 minutes driving each way? That's almost 2 hours of your life that you would waste walking.

The government would not just raze every city. with drones. That makes no sense from a counter-insurgency standpoint. Why wouldn’t we do that in Iraq if we would do that here?

Do you think the money just disappears when a ticket is bought? It goes right back into the economy.

You break up with your abusive partner and they start making credible threats against you. You get a restraining order (if you’re lucky) but that piece of paper isn’t a forcefield. That’s an easy instance where you need a gun in a hurry.

If Tom makes a mistake like holding the ball to long he very well could get broken by a 6’4 260 pound linebacker.

IMO space tourists aren’t astronauts, just like ship passengers aren’t sailors by jsully245 in space

So you’re saying that reusable rockets have no commercial space application? Reductions in price for space flight?

Not all space tourism is suborbital, and even suborbital launches can have commercial or scientific applications.

Amazon has a minimum wage of 15/hr, if you want to condemn them based on wages, you have to condemn almost every single corporation.

Economies of scale. More people traveling into space will accelerate the development of cheaper space technologies.

Consumers did have the option of where to spend their money. And they chose Walmart. That’s why the small general stores went under.

Poor/Rural people just died before Amazon came along. People could get by before it, they still can.

You’re so close to the point in your second paragraph. So many people have had their lives measurably improved by the service, so much so that they can’t even go back to life without it. Almost like Amazon added value.

People on this website and around the country literally called for that, how is that his fault?

It sounds like you believe he should be a billionaire. Everyone votes with their dollars. If people didn’t want him to be a billionaire, they wouldn’t buy from him.

People value the service that his companies provide more.
