The variable that you are missing here is that it is much easier to be a challenger to the title, rather than a long running champion, for the sole fact that when you are champion for any length of time, everyone in the division is training to beat the champ specifically, this is why # of title...

Aldo was in a motorcycle accident several years ago that has been giving him back and neck problems ever since. Not to mention he has been through some wars over a 20yr career. Aldo vs Mendes II is one of my favorite fights of all time. That said, what he is doing now is impressive without...

Keyword above "component". Are politicians motivated by profit motive and 'free markets' as well? Would profit margin create the best politicians we've ever seen? As I originally stated, there are some things that carry social value, such as healthcare or governance, that should not be...

I was arguing against a position that was posted by someone else who I have no idea if they are a "right wing libertarian" or not, as I was responding to his post and not some pre-conceived assumption of the author's character. But thanks for the commentary, it was really helpful.

That's exactly what I said. Medical breakthroughs are not the sole result of a free market economy. There is public assistance with that in all kinds of ways. Or maybe you'd like to explain why Somalia, which is more of a 'free market economy' than the US, isn't leading the world in medical...

LOL at 'vastly superior at helping people'. Are you telling me that the US population is more healthy person for person than somewhere like Japan, which has more socialized healthcare? All I was saying is that 'free markets' are not the answer to every human problem, there must be a mix between...

And how much of the above was accomplished utilizing government subsidies, grants, or even government contracts? And you think the University system plays no role in medical breakthroughs either? A private business taking advantage of free R&D by the taxpayers is not a 'free market economy'...

To suggest that there are problems with turning healthcare over to a profit motive does not make me a communist, you lummox.

This is why healthcare should not be tied in to a profit motive. Not all things that provide social value need to be subjected to capitalism.

Native Americans put up a fight, they were just overwhelmed by the numbers and superior firepower, along with, as you mentioned, the diseases that they were not immune to.

The problem is people who rail against diversity act as if just because they are 'white' they are part of some homogeneous 'white' culture, of which Europe is not a singular 'white' culture. It's many diverse cultures with 'white' people in it.

Who said anything about environmental impact? I sarcastically made the statement that Trump cutting safety regulations for the airline industry and rail transportation certainly must not have anything to do with the pandemic of airplanes falling apart or trains derailing. You scoffed at the...

So do you plan on sticking to your principles and going to back whatever homogeneous paradise your forefathers came from? And no, all white Europeans are not of a singular monolithic culture. Your family came to a country that had a large multinational mix of people, so apparently diversity was...

@nostradumbass They pay 100% of the tax while commanding what percentage of the wealth? If you and I eat at a restaurant and I order 70% of the food brought to the table, would you be expecting to still split the bill 50/50? The problem is you couldn't make that bread without the help of the...

"the FAA has been mandated to give more control over to aviation organizations, including manufacturers, over the years. Two Executive Orders signed by President Donald Trump, that require the FAA to cut regulations further, may have tipped the balance by diminishing FAA authority and focusing...

And I'm sure that all of this, just like all of the recent train derailments/accidents, had absolutely nothing to do with Trump rolling back safety and maintenance requirements for the airline and train industries, at the request of same said industries. So anti-establishment, that guy. So not...

Such a screwed up system that Trump literally made a career of weaponizing the court system to stiff thousands of contractors. He bragged about it. He made this bed, he can lie in it.

You are simply stating the Walmart CEO's salary, not his entire compensation package, which is valued at $27 million a year. Further, as I stated, I was speaking on all corporate officer pay being so far and above everyone else, that it's unsustainable. One single person does not need $562,000...

I agree there are no easy answers, and I am not going to act like I have all the solutions. However I will state again that min wage earners do provide a very necessary value to the country, because if every min wage earner walked out on strike tomorrow, our entire country would shut down. I...

I wasn't just talking about one person, the CEO. I was more trying to refer to all of the corporate officers taking reductions, although I admit maybe I was unclear. Personally, I just think we are living in a backwards society when budget cuts are necessary, it's the single mom with 3 kids at...
