The most efficient way to exploit workers by extrating the surplus value of their labour is to have a free market in everything but money.

Milton Friedman is the worst kind of socialist.

Can I get an F in the chat for western culture?

Does this mean vox is a bunch of holocaust deniers?

2018-12-24 19:30:47 UTC  

*Racks shotgun* I certainly hope not.

Can't make these people fucking happy

2018-12-25 13:29:50 UTC  

You detain them, they complain. You release them, they complain.

2018-12-25 18:49:30 UTC  

Okay, that sucks. But it's unethically framed in such a way that implies wrongdoing on the agency's part.

2018-12-25 18:49:44 UTC  

From the story itself, all reasonable actions were taken to see to the child's health.

2018-12-25 18:50:16 UTC  

It was only reported for ideological reasons. In any real sense, the incident is not news.

2018-12-25 18:50:33 UTC  

Regarding the use of credit cards to buy guns used in massacres, be aware that the more expectation of examination of electronic transactions is regulated, more hurdles for currencies that cannot reliably we traced back to an individual. The term "follow the money" is well known to both journalists and the governments. There is little chance the latter to reduce their ability to follow the money. Our post 9/11 anti-terrorist legislation pretty much mandates tracability.

2018-12-25 18:52:28 UTC  

The story about the child death is relevant since the government is responsible for the safety and well-being of people under their care. When someone, especially a child, dies in custody that necessitates attention and investigation.

2018-12-25 18:53:40 UTC  

We all should have the expectation when in custody that we will not be harmed unless through due process leading to a verdict and punishment that is not cruel or unusual - in other words appropriate for the gravity of the crime committed.

2018-12-25 18:53:57 UTC  

And families are responsible for their children's well being.

2018-12-25 18:54:05 UTC  

Not when someone is in custody

2018-12-25 18:54:20 UTC  

If a family's child dies after all reasonable efforts were made to see to their health, is that worthy of reporting on national news?

2018-12-25 18:54:22 UTC  

Of course not.

2018-12-25 18:54:24 UTC  

The state assumes all responsibility

2018-12-25 18:54:33 UTC  

The investigation will tell

2018-12-25 18:54:57 UTC  

But the fact a death of a minor occurred while under government custody is certainly worthy of attention

2018-12-25 18:54:58 UTC  

Ah, so you assume the news report is lying.

2018-12-25 18:55:13 UTC  

A fair assumption usually, but a bit odd that they would lie to make the agency look *better*.

2018-12-25 18:55:20 UTC  

The news report clearly states an investigation will be forthcoming

2018-12-25 18:55:30 UTC  

I assume minors die regularly under government custody.

2018-12-25 18:55:44 UTC  

It is not, unless unusual, worthy of any great attention.

2018-12-25 18:56:35 UTC  

Right now the border debate is a topic of general discussion, stimulated by the acts and words of the President of the United States. The President has deemed it newsworthy from his bully pulpit and the news media fall in line.
