Tutankhramen posted:My fake email: This really is not any more crazy than believing that the digital cable converter that you had to install on your old TV is a government-designed device to brainwash you. People actually believe this. That's the problem I have with faking emails- I feel like in the long run it's not really doing anything useful. I mean, what do we all get if they're actually believed? No difference from today.

quote:Simple logic should dictate that you cannot spend your way out of a recession. Did you know that the majority of “Cash for Clunkers” money is going to Toyota, Honda and Huyundi dealers, not Ford, GM or Chrysler. More jobs lost. You don't turn a company around to future profitability simply by paying off all its debts, and you don't turn an economy around that way, either. You can turn your personal, consumer finances around that way, but that's because personal finance doesn't produce anything. Turning all of your efforts toward paying down debt is called bankruptcy. In short, you do, in fact, spend your way out of debt. Also, nearly all of the "foreign" cars above are produced in the US by American workers. Interestingly, the Cash for Clunkers program has been a great success in terms of Keynesian deficit stimulus. The government pays to incentivize those who otherwise would have waited to buy a new car, new cars are sold, people remain employed.

Armyman25 posted:the rich have always abused the poor, and that you can't do anything about it and we should just survive and not worry about it. there is definitely hope for your dad; if he believes that the rich not only historically have abused the poor but that they continue to do so, he is one foot out of the grave the problem is when people say "the rich have the right to abuse the poor". Focus on these kinds of sentiments when talking to him, as he seems to have some response to injustice.

ThePeteEffect posted:Some searching yields some editorials on Palmisano's healthcare ideas, outside of the copy of that forward. The critical elements that seem left out here are, first, that's an estimate (correction: it's a ten year period in that article.) and second, really? IBM's gonna extract $200-$900b worth of value for free? They aren't even going to, say, (as an example of what might be) propose that every healthcare provider subscribe to an IBM-run healthcare management service forever? Without very specific details as to what IBM's plan is (which are, of course, secret, I'd imagine) there is no way to evaluate the fitness of this decision, which likely didn't even happen, given the source. Also, it's very likely that a lot of these reforms are indeed happening already (remember Obama's mentions of an electronic health recordkeeping system a couple years back?)

ClosedBSD posted:Yeah, working for a boss like this is probably going to bite you in the rear end someday. I'm not sure. Serious political opinions can be a sign of self-justifying zealotry, but also, some of the most interesting people I've ever met have known exactly what they want in terms of politics. Working with someone whose politics you disagree with but you respect in other terms is actually a good experience to have. Calling Obama a coon, on the other hand, is indeed a bad sign (but people can just be ignorant sometimes)

NatasDog posted:Not an e-mail, but a response to a terrible FB post an old high school buddy of mine made. I replied to it with something along the lines of "I'd agree with you if even half of those things are true, but as always the reality is far less appealing than the sensationalism", which he promptly deleted. This irked me more than usual for some reason, so I came up with a more This is a Bad Response. It's better to keep it short- it would have been more productive to say "Do you think that we should be taking our policies on immigration from North Korea and Afghanistan? What other policies of Kim Jong Il's do you think would have a particularly salutary effect on our national debt?"

ErIog posted:I had grown up in a very nice complete political vacuum that allowed me to be a staunch talk radio rear end in a top hat conservative from ages 12-17, then a libertarian for a few years, then a Democrat after that thanks to a girlfriend, and now finally a staunch progressive with anti-capitalist leanings thanks to this forum. I have stopped discussing politics with my parents. I love them to death, but I get too angry. I used to be a big old conservative when I was a kid- my relatives would get me Rush Limbaugh books, and I listened to the Ollie North show on the radio (it was always hilarious how he'd talk about the "Special Persecutor". Learn to delete your email next time, Ollie.) It's really an easier ideology to have as a kid- it doesn't ask anything particularly difficult of you.
