Why I broke the Facebook story

I have to agree that any such site so simplistic indicates that there are lot of people "out there" who need badly a bit of friendship.

Join the Rotary Club. Join the Lions Club. Join whatever such club. Contribute to the effort to help others, it is very rewarding.

Get the hell outta Facebook, one of the most idiotic sites ever created to fulfill a need (for recognition) that need not be if we would just learn to get off our ass from behind a stoopid-screen ...

If there are that many people like that out there, that you think it actually swayed the election, then we deserve extinction.

I gotta agree like hell with you on this one...sadly, too many people DO get their political information from social media... I've always believed that people get the government they deserve...this would be one of those times.

Yes, you've hit the problem right-on-the-nose. Legally.

Well, this is what legally means in the US when it comes to ultra-low Upper-income Taxation of the super-rich:

Know how to read an info-graphic? Probably not.

So I will reduce it to an elementary truth: Taxation in the US is immensely unfair and leads directly to what economists call Income Disparity. It also makes for squandering the money-pile generated by an economy on the rich and ultra-rich whose wealth is so immense they don't know what the hell to do with it.

So, dorks like Mercer (and Koch, et al) meddle in politics by funding "our favorite people". Both are Money-Pits and both are bored silly if they are not manipulating an election result somewhere in the nation.

But, the CENTRAL POINT IS THIS: The money does not go into voter-pockets. That's unjust and unfair and probably illegal. Nope, it goes to Media-Moguls who brainwash the American public over the BoobTube.

And Donald Dork just reduced upper-income taxation so they could obtain even more? Sickening, absolutely sickening!

It works time and time and time again. Ad nauseam ...

So...now you are contradicting yourself.

First you said Mercer's doing this because he had nothing better to do. Now you are saying he did it with a definite outcome in mind.

shrug...I don't care. And you continue to waste my time.
