2/4 Don't be evil. Unless it's with China, or doubleclick, or the NSA... \_ Google on the China deal: "We're not being evil because we'll do a better job providing information to the Chinese than any other company." Google on getting out of the China deal: "We're not evil because we're cutting our losses in China to make our shareholders happy." \_ Don't deal with fucking communists. End of story. \_ The WWII gen would have never put up with this shit. \_ China (Republic of China) was our ally in WWII. \_ And I'm sure a base in taiwan would be a good place to supply a fleet of cruise missile ships to turn the mainland into porcelain. \_ Japan would help. \_ If they help we can give them back Manchukuo. |

10/23 why does OBama want my pie? \_ Because you're too wealthy and should share with those who are less fortunate. Fucking asshole \_ The solution is simply to control population growth. All issues of class warfare and whatnot are related to overpopulation and competition for resources. If you stop having kids you don't need handouts. If the population gets low enough we can all have enough land and be basically self-sufficient. Look at the success of China since their population control policy. But we can implement it as a free market: require people to "purchase" their child in advance; it will be kind of like buying a house where you have to show enough income and a significant downpayment towards raising that child. Otherwise you can't have it. \_ I like this idea. Singapore has something similar where they have incentives for people with PhDs or higher education to have more kids without more financial burdens. The problem is really when immigrants flock here and have kids, how the hell are you going to enforce the no-kid policy? \_ Crack down on immigration. But yeah actually enforcing it seems difficult... China does it somehow but it is a totalitarian police state. \_ Errr.. I think it's pretty hard to prove that China's rise has anything to do with the 1 child policy. Espcially since China is about to get it's butt kicked by the demographic drop. \_ Hard to prove perhaps, but very strong corrolation. You don't think increasing the ratio of productive:unproductive members of society can lead to increased growth rates? You are probably the only one, then. China was seriously in danger of massive overpopulation before they instituted the one child policy, but yeah, there is going to be a demographic bump up the road because of it. Not for a while though, at least 20 years. \_ When did progressive taxation become contreversial? \_ When 1st person narrator entered the $250k+ tax bracket. |
