How to Read Barcodes

Fairbs says...

well this is interesting and all, but isn't even close to the whole story behind barcodes; like for example, the book industry uses a whole different system

I tried to promote my variation of this rule for awhile which is i before e always; haven't gotten a lot of traction, but it's sure as shit an improvement

I didn't think they taught this anymore, as there are too many exceptions to it.

FBI Implicates Obama & Clinton In Russia Bribery Plot

Fairbs says...

guess what? Obama and Clinton are not in office, but amateur hour trump denigrates the office every day; the latest atrocity is lying about what he said the a dead soldier family; and to think the piece of crap draft dodger can accuse others of not being respectful; what a disgrace

How tax breaks help the rich

Fairbs says...

if the rich didn't take all of the money, there would be a larger middle class and they would pay more taxes; at this point, the rich have made most people into poor people and why should poor people pay more taxes when they're poor?

I have two opinions on this... 1. the tax code rate for capital gains was around 80% 40 years ago and now it's 15%; that's money for doing nothing 2. all improvements in automation and technology have driven down wages and the benefits of this have all gone to the top either in CEO pay or money made from increases in the stock market

The rich might get better value on their deductions but they still get soaked more in taxes overall.


The top-earning 1 percent of Americans will pay nearly half of the federal income taxes for 2014
Top 20% of Earners Pay 84% of Income Tax
And the bottom 20%? They get paid by Uncle Sam.

How tax breaks help the rich

Fairbs says...

I think it was a lower % not the amount of money

As they mentioned, Warren Buffett famously bragged for years that he pays less in taxes than his secretary. The rich get such value on deductions, loopholes, capital gains rates, etc. that they can avoid taxes overall.
I'm in the bottom 20%...my uncle Sam has never even sent me a birthday card, he sure hasn't ever paid me a dime of assistance. Has Trump ever taken public funds for his projects? Hmmmm.

Another fail, Dimitri.

Climate Change Just Changed by 50%

Fairbs says...

I'd like to point out that this is exactly how science is supposed to work. A flaw found in a model is corrected and the model is recast.

Climate change isn't as precise as say standard physics, but I have a lot of faith in these people and know that our world has to change to continue to support human life. How we get there can be up for debate, but that we have to change is not.

Climate Change Just Changed by 50%

Fairbs says...

the fact is climate change is still real; this just means that we have more time to react for our civilization to evolve into something better; you along for the ride? or are you going to continue to be a puppet for the oil industry?

So much for the Climate Change BS.

Africans started slavery

Fairbs says...

I don't give a fuck who 'started' slavery. Whoever 'owns' other people is an asshole regardless of who started it. Don't try to make yourself better about it, but saying black people started it. That's just avoiding the problem.
