I think you are discounting how the election itself can bring eyeballs and green backs. He is only to utter an outrageous statement and create a media buzz. Plus, he has won over most of the media, anyway. Or at least they are willing to grade Trump on a curve.

Does this also apply to exit polls?

Yes, crypto assets is another thing the Democrats cede to the libertarian right. Their abstemiousness risks the politicization on factional grounds. Not every crypto holder is a Mises quoting, Ayn Rand reading, tax avoiding weirdo.

I thought that the Conservatives just banned onshore wind turbines regardless of sentiment on the ground.

Yeah, Boris did gut the Conservatives of any moderates over Brexit. Without them, they will have the devil's own job moving centre-ward.

For them it's a catch-22, the current make up of the Conservatives make it a hostile environment for moderates, but they need them to bring the Conservatives to the centre. The right will need to cede power for that to happen.

I would argue that cronyism is a symptom of capitalism. Regulatory capture and buying off politicians is a damn fine return on investment.

This is not to say communism didn't also have it's problem with corruption and bribes.

Without proper oversight, any human run thing is subject to this universal law: humans are lazy and greedy.

I think it's a question of democracy against autocracy. You can either impose wind farms against local objections, or you can take a more difficult route and involve the local communities.

What I am saying is you can support green infrastructure, but only if it's sustainable and with consent of the local communiy.

I suspect that will change with a quickness as they rise to prominence.

I wonder what he had to give up in the plea deal.

This is the outcome of Capitalism . Even the new Open Access Operators are no guarantee of sustainable salvation. As Capitalism in a free market will always seek to acquire and merge. Or out compete and destroy competition.

That's the trouble with public service broadcasters, they are not immune from political interference.

Jeremy Corbyn got it right, rather than make the controller a political position make them accountable to a independent body. This should go some way to repairing the BBC's bias problem.

It won't happen though they are too good a propaganda outfit. Who for? The establishment. Whichever party is in power. So, you want to change the BBC? You need to change government.

And for those that advocate abolition, at least with the current system, you have one lever of power. Good luck in influencing Rupert Murdoch to sway his reporting.

The linked webpage isn't coming up for me Here's the web archive version

For personal things, computer, phones, etc. Big corpos cover this by a EULA. EULAs also covers forums controlled by the companies. For public places like websites, you can control search engines by using a robot.txt file.

You could argue that's what industry-millitary complex is already doing. Along with the media.

Had a quick glance at this study. Forgive any mistakes, but I have a few "faulting" observations:

• over a third of the sampled people were people seeking immigration to the US. It could be argued that it could be argued that this points purely to the type of conservatives that seek entry outside their home country. Not the general population of conservatives.
• this study only looks at a statistical correlation. It's dangerous to infer causation from correlation as correlation does not equal causation.
• intelligence measuring as had a long and troubled past. For instance, some tests were used to "prove" black people dumb. Turns out these tests relied on prior knowledge denied to black people. It can be very difficult to account for culture.
• maybe the tests used in this study only measure for people that are good at taking tests.

That's just the point. These failings are common. That means we all fall prey to these faults from time to time. Just remember when you point a finger, at least three get pointed back to you.

While I agree with you, at what stage would you find a job just not worth the carnage?

I'm not so sure about that. That framing hazardously to the stereotype that the right are fiscally responsible as opposed to the spend crazy left.

I take your point. However, fascists are not the only movement that can co-opt. I didn't say the DNC has to remain as it is currently.

The enemy wants you to throw your hands up and declare the DNC a lost cause. Not all of them are external.

Be a royal pain in the ass, shout down the adversary, do sit ins, gum up caucuses and for heaven's sake, throw out "servility politics".

The only disagreement I have is with the rather sweeping statement:

They keep you poor, and you can't see through their bullshit.

As it makes it seem that the poor are ignorant, gullible rubes. Lack of money ≠ lack of wisdom, or insight.
