What makes a democracy a democracy?

Trump is not original, most right-wingers in Europe copy Putin and Hitler, so does Trump in a lot of ways.

Thanks to Wall Street, all markets are betting markets.

I think it’s more correlation than causation, Russian interference being the common cause.

Yeah, the real difference is that Iron Man did more work in a 3-hour movie than Musk in his whole life.

Finally, it can get hacked and other people than the creator can do all these to your computer as well,as it already happened once.

I used Windows, Mac and Linux in the past year.

It’s not Mac that’s fast, it’s Windows that sucks hard.

You mean the Dutch charity that pays almost no taxes?

Yeah but they only do that in the EU, they still offer a degraded service everywhere else.

Don’t be too hard on them, in Europe we get very little spam calls. Most people even answer unknown callers.

You need to believe that you can get ahead in society by being smarter than the competition, instead of just being luckier.

They are naive if anything.
