"The United States is not, and should not be permitted to become, a soft compromise and amalgam of global values and tastes.

A reticence or perhaps incapacity to pronounce and to prefer, beyond the shallow and ritualistic shaming of others in the public sphere that masquerades as thought, has had costs.

A fuller statement of the causes and consequences of this reticence is set forth in The Technological Republic. In short, however, a tolerance of everything, a shallow embrace of all views and perspectives as equally valid, often and unfortunately devolves into a belief in nothing."

It's odd seeing Republicans endorse state owned companies. Bernie has at least been consistent in his beliefs.

> It's odd seeing Republicans endorse state owned companies.

What’s even more confusing is that the Republicans voter will rationalize this!

> Bernie has at least been consistent in his beliefs.

So same outcome. The question is whether the two “sides” see their common point of view.

Everyone is talking about "bailouts" and "owning a company that the government funds."

This isn't about that at all. This is about the breakdown of the rule of law, a unitary executive bypassing all other branches of government and demanding a private enterprise give itself over to the government.

If you don't think there was an "or else" as part of this deal, you're largely mistaken. If you don't think that there will be other questionalbe demands placed on Intel in the future from this government, you are largely mistaken.

But y'all go ahead and can keep arguing over whether we should "get something back" from this deal. Because that's really going to maker ameraica graet agian.

What do you think about Senator Bernie Sanders backing Trump plan for government stake in Intel?

andsoitis commented on Homelessness is finally dipping across California   sfchronicle.com/californi... · Posted by u/JumpCrisscross

Sonoma's homeless population might have dropped a whopping 22.6%, compared to, say, Los Angeles at a "mere" 4%. However, Sonoma's population is a mere 11,000 people, while Los Angeles is a tiny bit larger, coming in at 3.89 million for the city, and 9.757 million in the county.

Regardless, nicely done California. I assume my tax dollars are contributing in a positive way to these improved statistics.
