The First 3D-Printed Gun Has Been Fired (VIDEO) No comments yet


3D printing is the end of employment as we know it on this planet. That is the real story, and a problem we have not even thought about a solution to.

Abrams Tank Pushed By Congress Despite Army’s Protests No comments yet


Does it really take a genius to figure out that you can shut down military projects and migrate the skills and manufacturing power into a civilian infrastructure investment? The short shortsightedness of people is really scary. I am sure if you can build tanks, you can build high speed transportation systems, long lasting infrastructure projects, and smart electric grids. Something…?

Dear TED, Is It ‘Bad Science’ or a ‘Game of Thrones’? No comments yet

I am baffled as to why any Atheist would be troubled by a talk about quantum physics and the subtle-consciousness. Seems to me, after studying this work, it would be theists feeling threatened. In my opinion this area explains (better than most) the possibility that we exist without the need of and all knowing, all powerful bearded dude.

It creates the possibility of bringing people closer together than religion or science alone ever could.

Income Growth For Bottom 90 Percent Of Americans Averaged Just $59 Over 4 Decades: Analysis No comments yet


Both Democratic and Republican leaders had choices over the last 30 years.

We could have demanded that other countries that created products that directly competed with American products abide by the same labor, safety and environmental standards, or face stiff import tariffs to artificially boost prices of imports. We could have ban the sale of certain products and services completely unless rules were met.

Instead, our leadership chose to crush organized labor, back massive corporate profit margins, and allow completely unfair competition to destroy the American business model.

Now, instead of making money off of great products and services, we make money like every other 2nd and third world nation; Off the backs of workers that have no choice but work for pennies or burn the country down.

Capitalism was never supposed to look like this.

Rest assured, people will wake up. When they do, bring the fire extinguishers.

State Department’s Keystone XL Analysis Upsets Environmentalists No comments yet


Regardless of the completion of this pipeline, if oil companies can shut down refineries at will and artificially limit fuel production to meet their profit demands, what good is it? This tar will not be for the U.S., it will be for the market. We will not get anything out of it but the risk and a few thousand jobs. Not to mention that this is a finite resource that we should be moving away from as a major energy producer. It seems a bad idea all the way around, unless you have a direct profit interest.

All of our major “need” industries are fixed, manipulated and controlled by those that stand to gain the most. This is the disease. As long as we allow this kind of American Capitalism, nothing will change.

Imagine what could be built if we invested the same amount of money into a renewable resource. Oh that’s right, we cannot manipulate prices of the sun or wind.. (although I am sure they will try that too)

Mr. Mom, The Bumbling (Yet Elusive) Dad, Has Apparently Died No comments yet


The stereotype maybe dead, but society has a long way to go in improving the attitudes toward men that choose to be fathers (not just bank accounts) to their children.

I took leave of two careers to be home with my children the first 3 years of their lives, and was a stay at home father for 6.

I think society is still in the “well isn’t that cute” stage, but corporate America and American culture still sees the responsibility of a father as mostly financial, and everything other than the traditional gender role for a man is a weakness of character.

We will get there, one well adjusted child at a time :-)

Ben Bernanke’s Jackson Hole Speech: More Stimulus Possible With Unemployment So High No comments yet


I was thinking..

Maybe we could cut a deal for American businesses that lowers taxes a certain percentage for every percent they raise labor costs.

That way they could raise wages without raising prices. Maybe workers would buy stuff they want, instead of only being able to afford what they need, then other businesses will need to hire people to make more stuff.

Rocket science eh?
