It kind of is...Sorry but it shows what inventions are made. It shows which organizations are making innovations.

Are we for equality of opportunity or outcome?


Your comment: "Obviously equal outcomes aren't always possible, but "in order to form\ a more perfect union" we need to ensure that all people have the opportunity to have a reasonable outcome in their lives".


Good line.

The only outcomes some care about are their own.

Without employers, you have no employees.

Will you please think things through before posting?

I'm getting tired of correcting you.


A business runs with workers. Without workers, there are no products.

Simply put no products means no business.

My nephew understood that when he was 3.

Is that such a hard concept. Hell, you even alluded that you need to pay talent well to have successful business. Now you're saying that workers are not needed for a successful business? Which is it?

What excuse? That a fringe element MAY or MAY NOT have been violent? Is that the excuse that I stated that violence was not a huge factor (it wasn't). Sorry if history and facts are now an excuse?

I only care about myself.

But, in caring about myself I have put a lot of money in the system...creating jobs.

I should not have stooped to that. It was immature. I will edit the comments. Hopefully, and sincerely, I hope that alphamale will also delete the same comments he made (verbatim).

People in unions are in a class all on their own, you can't get much lower so it would be hard to find a scab that is betraying their own class. Only a union fool would try to tell remind someone of the "proper place" they feel someone should be in.

Why not print that on your business cards and your equipment? I'm sure your customers would be impressed.
