    You're a known leaker!

    You've been banished from a message board, and kicked out of a Facebook group for it. You think we can trust you?

    I'm committed to bringing this place down to me and Q-Bert if that's what it takes to get these leaks under control.

    Wasn't me.

    And the FB banishment is simply because they ran out of tinfoil and needed a scapegoat.

    I'll be honest, it's been fun watching Bill Mitchell completely lose his shit on Twitter this morning. What a smug prick.

    I'm in. But in order for everyone to have an equal say, you'll have to equalize their buying power. That'll take some redistribution.

    They also favor laws that don't force people to pay their "fair share." It must be because they believe in "labor exploitation." :rolleyes:

    Newsspeak on a Friday morning.

    Labor unions in practice in this country are government-enforced monopolies. Take away all legislative preference given to them and the artificial leverage that they don't command on their own without the force of government (via labor boards, bought and paid for politicians that enforce their monopoly, etc.) . ... and let people decide whether or not they want to negotiate their own contracts, hire third parties to bargain for them or collectively bargain with whoever THEY choose. And voila. No "free rider" issues. But when you create a club that you favor and want to enforce a monopoly over labor via that club. ... it's Orwellian to then turn around and claim that workers who don't want any part of it are "free riders."

    That's just what a leaker would say.

    I've seen the chart. They've diagrammed the leaks leading right back to you!

    FYI, North Korea may have launched another test missile of some sort. Japanese broadcasts in the last 15 minutes to a half hour or so were saying it may have landed in Japan's exclusive economic zone. And something just passed saying the Japanese PM is planning an emergency meeting.
