> Make foreign cars expensive and there will be substitution with local cars.

Many "foreign" cars are built in the US. Some even more so than the American brands. "The Toyota Camry is, apparently, the most American vehicle on sale in the U.S." http://fortune.com/2015/06/29/cars-made-in-america/

I remember the moderator during one of the 2012 debates reframing a question several times to see if it would change Ron Paul's mind.

Ron Paul just kept repeating his position, regardless of how many puppy orphanages were on fire.

I am convinced that he did not possess the duplicity of most politicians.

>> It's not the first time he's been wrong.

It's because Krugman changes his mind based on who is currently President and/or controlling Congress. A policy under a Democrat President is good and the exact same policy under a Republican President is bad. Krugman is a hack who received his Nobel for being anti-Bush. There are far better voices for the Left.
>That's pretty awful, but not apocalypse-level awful.

My main concern is foreign policy. The House can drive domestic policy and hopefully not make a mess of it, but foreign policy is all Trump's domain. He's vain and temperamental, this provides two powerful levers that manipulative foreign powers like China and Russia are free to push and pull as they like. He's also notoriously bad at taking advice. Frankly, it's not looking good.

> Creators have only the right to ask for money for their works, they have no right to compensation at all.

Similarly, we as consumers have no inherit right to view or use their work without paying the creator's asking price. Nor do we have the right to force the creators to create work.

IOW, the only way to really motivate creators to create is to compensate them somehow (money works great). Capitalism at work.
How else can a bunch of very different people work together and be productive together without some level of decorum and safety? So, we get rid of 'political correctness' (i.e. respectfulness), and what then?

Many people don't like their co-worker's or neighbor's personal beliefs or behaviors. I can't see that letting people be persecuted openly will end well or fruitfully for anyone.

Addendum:

It's interesting that my other comments are getting downvoted or even detached. Wasn't part of this big 'movement' to get rid of political correctness? I guess I don't understand. But, I'll be done. Sorry.

However, if you look at the bottom it states that this case is a reference design, much like the Google phones, intended to be a platform upon which others can build new products.
I took three semesters of orgo in undergrad, and if it taught me anything, it's that there are exceptions to nearly every rule. There are so many complicated molecular orbital interactions, requiring years of study. And even then there are always things that break these rules in unexpected ways or produce several products.

How do you overcome this? Can you predict yield percentages of each product? What about chirality?

Can your system design synthesis pathways? Can it optimize for final product yield? How does it handle the thermodynamics and kinetics of reactions?

In any case, cool project. It's a very difficult domain.
Well, that's the argument that Wickard was wrongly decided. The case in question involved a farmer growing crops for personal use in violation of production quotas. The Supreme Court held that this purely intrastate non-commercial activity was in fact interstate commerce (and thus within the power of the federal government to regulate) because there was an interstate market for this crop and that market was being affected, however slightly, by this farmer not engaging in it.

I used to be an activist pushing for common sense immigration reform in the US. In Colombia, I pushed for policies that would enable tech entrepreneurship. After meeting many politicians I realized how slow, obsolete, and in many instances, corrupt, our current political systems are. I was fed up and I wasn’t alone. I quickly found several people that shared this sentiment and also wanted change. Together we started project "Democrracy". Our goal is to reinvent democracy.

Priorities.

Unfortunate as it may be, when you are not the target of bigotry or misogyny, it's much easier not to see those issues as a deal breaker, even if you disagree with them.

Remember that, when it's not self-interest, the only thing that makes those issues a deal breaker is empathy. Today's world has very little empathy; the US especially, with its corporate-centric philosophy.

It's not that surprising.

Maybe this could be a golden age for Europe and Canada. We can get all the intelligent people in the US fleeing to seek more intelligent shores. We could get some of the bright minds of Silicon valley to come across the pond and help revitalizing European tech industry.

Not a new phenomenon. The German scientists fleeing Nazi Germany started the present American scientific lead. The French Hugenots fleeing France caused economic growth.

Well that's blatantly false.

That was Trump's entire campaign. All I've heard all year was "Benghazi", "emails" and "crooked", all of which were just rephrasing of the same thing, repeated in perpetuum. It most definitely worked.

There are emotional and rational ways to make any particular argument. She just chose to focus on arguments that only her staffers care about, rather than appealing to the (obviously) very real populist energy and anger.

Facts do matter, and I think it's disingenuous to really argue that they don't, even to the American electorate. I think the overriding truth is that politics is about engagement, and it's a battle - just because you have the 'right' ideas doesn't mean you will win. You need to engage, encourage, and motivate people to vote for you - which the Clinton campaign could not do.

This is what is so amazing to me: there was a massive surge in anti-establishment sentiment, from Sanders on the left to Trump on the right. It was unparalleled in my lifetime. Yet the DNC decided to run a candidate who is basically the epitome of Washington establishment? It's embarrassing.

I think that city folks were derisive of the rural and older voters but never really considered them as the enemy, while on the other side it was clear for the anti-abortion/protectionist/etc people that cities and their liberalism were the enemy.

This changed today I think. I wouldn't be surprised if the next democratic campaign is composed by an alliance of the standard socially progressive base with a populist base that favors poor people from swing states, while treating dark-red states with actual hostility (instead of indifference for their woes)

I don't mean to belittle your situation but..an hour seems like fantastic commuting time. Most people I work with take an hour to an hour and a half to get to work. Up until our office moved there was two guys that had a 2 hour trip into work every day. Most people I know would kill to have an hour commute.
Looks like Clinton will win the popular vote
Hillary wanted to dramatically expand the H1B program (footnote). Whatever your stance on the issue, you should be able to understand how this upset some American tech workers.

There are similar stories in other sectors. Economic protectionism hasn't really been in either party's platform for a long time, and during that time American workers took a severe beating. Then Trump came along and started making promises.

* More precisely: Tim Kaine proposed a bill to double the size of the H1B program and Hillary has been in bed (donation-wise) with Tata, Wipro, and the like for the last decade at least. When asked for her position, she maintained strategic silence or dodged the question.
His opinions were sound and his predictions were prescient. He was right. That's it. He was right about Iraq, he was right about financial deregulation, he was right about civil liberties.

>I'm able-bodied and have 0 problems with being called privileged for being able bodied.

It is not being called privileged that's the problem. It's being shamed or put in some hierarchy of oppression that is the problem.

>I don't see how acknowledging this is demeaning.

I'm sorry if this comes across as rude, but, obviously this conversation isn't about you. Many Americans they have seen this as demeaning. And for what it's worth, I know many people who do demean white, able-bodied, cis-gendered people for their "lack of" oppression.

Honestly I am hoping Donald Trump is more centrist than many people expect. While he touts protectionism to the point of blocking access to the country his other ideas are pretty much down the middle of the road with regards to rebuilding the country itself.

A lot of his ideas are not hard right Republican. He openly embraces gays and will make many of them in the Republican party feel more welcome. He has allies of all races and even pulled in record Hispanic votes.

So the first signs will be, who composes his cabinet? Who will be his advisors be? How much of a role will Pence play? Will he give equal time to leadership from both parties? With both parties approach with hostility or be willing to give it a try?

Still when I view the race, I really want to know if Democrats think it was worth it to become a party whose candidates are selected on what they are first compared to what they believe. Why was the "party of the people" the side with the least number of candidates? I would ask the Republican party, why do you continuously try to for far right cultural view points and such candidates when conservatives want you out of our personal and financial lives both?

Sadly no candidate championed privacy and freedom of self but there is a chance that change might have actually finally reached the White House
Unless they had health issues, acute or chronic. In which case the ~6K out of pocket limit was helping them. It provided a ceiling to help keep people from going bankrupt.

> Lithuania - corruption index 32/168 [1] Russia - corruption index 119/168 [2]

Cool, I was really thinking of former ombudsman/Health Minister ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rimant%C4%97_%C5%A0ala%C5%A1ev... ), Transport Minister ( https://www.occrp.org/en/daily/5225-lithuania-former-ministe... ) and President ( https://www.occrp.org/en/daily/4991-lithuania-former-preside... ), which all have seen bribery-related scandals just this year, but corruption index there is better than in Russia, so I guess everything is fine.

As for bureaucracy, no I didn't know that you have functional electronic government, that's really awesome! My comment was based on experiences there in 2006-2009, I guess a lot have changed since then.

> There are more differences than similarities.

I guess, you realize that that's a really pointless statement. Russian speaker can understand meaning of some spoken sentences and some other words are understandable if you read them. Sure, there are differences, - that's why they are considered separate languages! But Russian speaker without prior knowledge wouldn't understand any sentence in German or Norwegian. I hope this makes sense. Also, speakers of one Slavic language do not necessary understand all other Slavic language speakers, so this just isn't what you should expect from linguistically close languages.

By the way, that picture you linked to (in [4]) clearly shows that Polish is relatively closer to Lithuanian (51-70 distance) than Lithuanian is to German (>=71), check out the diagram's legend.
"I've been trying to find a pen pal who can give me some reasonable arguments for Donald Trump for the last few weeks, to no avail."

First off, I do not like Donald Trump and did not vote for him.

That said:

It's not "racist", "misogynist", or any other kind of "ist" for a factory worker in Ohio to believe that he shouldn't have to compete with Chinese slave labor.

Nor is it "racist", "misogynist", or any other kind of "ist" for an unemployed coal miner in West Virginia to take exception to being lectured on his "white male privilege" by an academic who's never done a hard day's labor in his life, or to be upset by seeing the industry that's employed his family for generations deliberately destroyed for no reason. The coal is still going to be mined and burned. It's just going to be mined and burned in countries with few, if any, environmental regulations.

Multiply those guys by a few million and you have Trump.

Will Trump actually help these people? Probably not, but he's listening to them. He's at least pretending to care about their concerns. The Democrats (supposedly the party of the working class), on the other hand, have been spending the last few decades demonizing them.
