Well they found their new user base also, that is why they didn't crash like digg. Reddit has become very Facebook like design and content wise.


Maybe for America that is such a young country of immigrants all over the world but definetly the majority of world nation states don't see mass immigration as a solution to the problem.


Why are you sure of it? Regulation often gives more backroom deal type of corruption and monopolies, deregulation on the other hand can give more anarchy. I don't think simple view of having one, regulation or deregulation, and itsa good thing is very intelligent thought.


In the states that I have lived, the voter information pamphlet lists who supports and opposes every initiative. Every time that a new regulation on the ballot would benefit the public at the expense of business, it’s always the same: on one side are Republicans and some multi-national corporations, the other side are Democrats and public-interest groups (environmentalists, etc).

I don’t think that public-interest groups have as much money for backroom deals as multi-national corporations. So that’s why I’m pretty sure of it.


Yet democrats are taking back room bribes to approve new construction. Huh!

The regulation enables the corruption.

I’d bet that the dollar amounts involved where appointed officials corruptly use regulation to solicit bribes in the U.S. is orders of magnitude smaller than the amounts involved in “campaign donations” to elected officials to prevent and remove regulations.

The amount in question in that article is $5,000.

For comparison, the amount in question here is $34,000:

Would regulation with transparency be the best of both? Because it seems tax law changes so often and violating it so trivial I doubt it'd be better.

IMO those in charge should be forced to drink/breath from whichever area tested most polluted on a regular basis, and as a public event. Once they can no longer hide or pass on the consequences they should take the problems more seriously.


Pinterest doesn't provide value with their image search spam hence they are parasites indeed.


I see my sarcasm didn't go over well. Replacing search results with quips from websites is parasitic as fuck.


Pinterest CEO is an ex Google worker and many investments into Pinterest come from Google related people.

They obviously turn the blind eye, anyone in the business knows that since Google is very keen on blackholing people or companies who use tricks like that. Just another Silicon Valley affluent people love story.


In rx soviet block saying "it's like Chicago" here when there was some sort of crime spree going on was very common and still is. Maybe because of old gangsters, not sure.

But it sure was exotic seeing American music coming and videos talking about murder and shooting like it's a cool thing.


If I'm paying for it, which I do hell no. O also use Linux but I don't ost for it, and it's hobbyist / power user os and I can actually fix things there unlike windows.


I swear to gid during the Bush era all the 'liberal' newspapers and people on reddit claimed the voting machines are rigged. Now it's the opposite. It's a never ending bullshit from you.


I'm sorry to burst your childish "but he started it" bubble, but I am not a US citizen nor have I ever set foot in the US. So please direct your childish ad hominem attacks and general finger wagging elsewhere, and meanwhile do some introspection.


It's not, dang has written about these percentages all over again, us is not majority here.


95% of the America is wealthy for and compared to me, also compared to the most of the world. Doesn't mean I can't be compassionate about your working class problems etc.

All the problems in my life, for you are a phone call away too.
