From recent headlines, I'd think California could put that money to better use. Homelessness, water problems, filthy sidewalks, no housing, etc. Why export the money?

I have no idea why people down-vote this post. Yeesh. Some people.

My thoughts exactly. A day of reckoning is coming.

Cool! I had no idea.

Trying to trample opposing political views by force won't end well.

I bet it's not as effective as an old lady with 5 decades of piano teaching experience. Every town has one.

The problem is mostly about culture, not guns. The crazy gunman shooting at a school pictures himself as George Clooney in a Tarantino movie.

Have any of your relatives had a mishap?

It's a really hard problem. Some people are down on their luck and can be helped. Some people are out of control, there is no way to babysit them to normalcy. Money won't solve it.

Ah, the diamond in the mountain of trash! This makes sorting through the political noise on HN worth it.

Sorry, I left two points disconnected: If you are on the left side of the aisle and are not disturbed by this modern day McCarthyism because you are absolutely certain you are 'right', you n…

Society goes back and forth on what is considered 'right' and 'wrong'. You only need to look at older movies to see how things change. What was once considered neutral or even pro…

Wow.

Colonel Mustard did it, in the library, using an overly-complicated web framework to strangle the junior.

I urge Jim Carrey and every other celebrity to discuss this at length with their personal circle of friends. But otherwise shut up about everything political. I'm sick and tired of hearing celeb…

I really believe these will be considered great days. Ignore the political hyperbole, see the actual good being done.

She's doing it wrong. She fell behind on her insurance (ACA) payments and lost her benefits. It may sound callous, but perhaps she should have taken on more work (a second job perhaps) as soon a…

"You may ask, “Who cares what some dad from a flyover state or some businessman from another country thinks of us?” " I can't even believe the author had that thought. Amazing.

I love working remotely. It's not for everybody. Some people need the social interaction at the office. But I love not having a commute to work, the convenience of having the extra time, savin…

Maybe it is, maybe it isn't. The Clinton email investigation looks like it bogus. It's hard to tell what's real these days.

Too much prosperity isn't a good thing in the long run. The PC problem is a result of prosperity without corresponding effort. I hope the correction is a kind one.

I bought my wife a MacBook Pro for a gift about a year ago. Apple recently pushed a software update which broke her wireless connectivity. She's been on the phone with Apple support numerous tim…

“Nothing stops a bullet like a job.” I truly believe this, and I'm on the right side of the political aisle on most positions. A strong economy lifts many boats.

Nice article.

True. He also forcibly kissed an unwilling woman, trying to force his tongue into her mouth. Franken was creepy. We need to get rid of creeps on both sides of the political aisle.

From Newsweek. Of interest, Newsweek had a cover story in 1975 titled "The Cooling World" that suggested cooling "may portend a drastic decline for food production." A 1974 Time m…
