The American Prospect has some really good recent articles about this. We've entered a new age of personal pricing. Companies have so much data on us that the price that I see when I visit a website is no longer necessarily the price that you see.

Talk to your surgeon. They're probably more competent than you're giving them credit for. Good luck.

They wouldn't have immunity for that crime (since it was performed while VP). However once they become president they could just pardon themselves.

Democracy Now is my main source

I also listen to NPR to hear what narratives the state department is pushing

lol this comment is a great example of a lib grasping for a weak explanation instead of criticizing Hillary Clinton.

Marx & Engels' "Address of the Central Authority to the League, March, 1850”:

[T]hat everywhere worker’s candidates are put up alongside the bourgeois democratic candidates, that they are as far as possible members of the League, and that their election is promoted by all means possible. Even when there is no prospect whatever of their being elected, the workers must put up their own candidates in order to preserve their independence, to count their forces and to lay before the public their revolutionary attitude and party standpoint. In this connection they must not allow themselves to be bribed by such arguments of the democrats as, for example, that by so doing they are splitting the democratic party and giving the reactionaries the possibility of victory. The ultimate purpose of all such phrases is to dupe the proletariat. The advance which the proletariat party is bound to make by such independent action is infinitely more important than the disadvantage that might be incurred by the presence of a few reactionaries in the representative body. If from the outset the democrats come out resolutely and terroristically against the reactionaries, the influence of the latter in the elections will be destroyed in advance.

In my early twenties it was nearly constant. It's subsided greatly since then. At a certain point I think I just accepted that "there is no meaning, so it's ok".

So once you get there, and you start understanding capitalism, then that takes over as the most all consuming topic.
