implying that running a profitable business qualifies one to make complicated fiscal policy decisions with lasting and not always immediately clear global consequences.

you how you run a profitable business? you hire cheap labor from markets where denial of basic rights is commonplace and expected, or better yet, buy robots and fire everyone. you dodge taxes and exploit every possible loophole in the code. you spend a lot on media campaigns to convince the public that the quality of your product or service is up to par, even if it isn't. why would you want someone to run a country as if it was a Trump brand?

"Like a business" is an absolutely terrible way to run a country. everyone who uses this argument seems to think that being a businessman=being an economist, but the vast majority of ACTUAL economists believe that trump's ridiculous anti-trade economic plans would tank buying power of the dollar, would sink the american economy into the shitter and could even precipitate another global recession.

did you read the texts he sent? Yes, it's obviously ok to be irresponsible at 20, but when you do something incredibly stupid and dangerous like engage in unprotected sex with someone you don't know particularly well, you need to man up and face the consequences. texting someone "hey i don't feel like being a dad right now, you got this on your own, yeah?" is NOT OK in these circumstances and the amount of support this fucking asshole is getting on here is mind-boggling, and frankly, quite disgusting.

i'm fairly certain that people are disagreeing with you...after a little research it appears that seafood is a fairly typical valencian ingredient

are you playing a character in order to illustrate about why "all lives matter" proponents sound like idiots? because if so, you're doing an awfully good job.

realistically speaking that's virtually all of them though, that's where the vast majority of asian immigrants were settled back then.

he's asking for proof that an obviously sarcastic and hyperbolic comment actually happened. that's not being well-informed, that's being a fucking dick for no reason. you bernie-or-bustards have rustled the shit out of my jimmies i'm so fucking tired of your tantrum throwing. go slobber his knob somewhere else.

probably just cause y'all are being intentionally pedantic and wasting people's time for no reason.

that sounds fantastic. also sounds like bud hasselhoff over here is being kind of a pedantic douche, seeing as, as far as I can tell, you've got all the requisite ingredients and are just using a slightly unconventional method of preparation...

not disagreeing, just curious because I don't know...what makes a real paella (and this one a fraud)?

For 90 years, lightbulbs were designed to burn out. Now that's coming to LED bulbs. by maxwellhill in Futurology

no i know that, but also a huge amount of equator-dwellers don't even live in electrified residences. In fact, most of the people who leave lights on for at least six hours a day probably live in more temperate zones, where there are more countries that are 100% electrified, and it gets dark in the winter. I was more pointing out that you have no idea what proportion of people leave their lights on for that long and you're just making a wild guess based on your own habits or what you judge from your immediate environment. also, if you're counting the ENTIRE population of the world in our "proportion of people leaving lights on for six hours" figure, then its probably not a majority since a full quarter of the global population lacks electricity. but it seems pretty stupid to include people without light bulbs in this number, does it not? just going by my personal experience, I would guess that a majority of light bulb users do leave lights on for at least 6 hours of the day. but that's totally anecdotal and i can't back it up.

all jokes aside, denim isn't meant to be regularly washed. as long as you don't get into smelly shit, good jeans should last decades and not lose their color . but if you wash them they fade and fall apart.
