5. It's called, Right-click

[VanillaRhapsody]

7. Perhaps I would ALSO like to read what goes with it....

providing a link (and asking for one) are pretty normal...

I don't know what Right click does on your machine...you must be on a apple...

[Andy823]

8. I am on an apple

Right click did nothing for me.

[VanillaRhapsody]

9. Okay....somehow that figures....like WTF!

Good grief they cannot even be honest about Right Click!!

10. I got my tablet which is able to increase the size...

That is the only only way to see it clearly ...

[Jackpine Radical]

26. Do Ctrl-click.

Or just hit Cmd+ to enlarge it on screen.

[WhaTHellsgoingonhere]

13. Well, if you right-clicked w/ your PC, you would have discovered 2 VERY important things!!

1. There's no article! It's just a jpg from Imgur
2. The image doesn't get any larger

You're... you're special lol

[VanillaRhapsody]

15. And that helps me how? You typically link to show sources for something like this...duh

and you are damn skippy I am special....very much so...

You do know that coding on websites have maximum sizing for images...what might have appeared larger and readable where it was published...might not appear the same size on another site....

[WhaTHellsgoingonhere]

Here's the link to nowhere

Found by right-clicking

[VanillaRhapsody]

[WhaTHellsgoingonhere]

[VanillaRhapsody]

24. then why do you continue to reply??

[WhaTHellsgoingonhere]

25. Because you make me laugh, didn't you notice. Here, look below...

[VanillaRhapsody]

27. Glad to be of service....better than your weird ass temper tantrums...

[WhaTHellsgoingonhere]

30. You do live in Oppositelandia

Anyone who reads your post #18 probably thinks you're not quite right, to put it gently.

[VanillaRhapsody]

31. Seriously...you think you have been cogent?

you are serious?

[WhaTHellsgoingonhere]

32. Look, my apple cart didn't get upset over Right-click

You're my favorite new toy.

[VanillaRhapsody]

[VanillaRhapsody]

35. You think you have done something here?

what would that be? Had a weird conversation with anonymous person on the "interwebs"? This conversation is the highlight of your pathetic day?

[WhaTHellsgoingonhere]

16. Interesting site

geke.us

They do well to point out the intersections of government and corporations. For that I thank them.

Unfortunately, they appear to be of the belief that the problem is government regulation of corporations, and that it is the government, by doing the bidding of corporations, that prevents the natural corrective mechanisms of the market from fixing things.

I could not disagree more with this.

It's true that regulations are often written at the behest of lobbyists for large corporations, adversely impacting smaller competition. I've seen this very specifically in my own area, large corporate dairies got new dairy regulations put in place, which required expensive equipment only the large corporate dairies could afford. As a result, a huge percent of our local, family owned dairies either went out of business or sold their dairies at very low cost to the same corporations behind the regulations.

So it does happen. It's a misdiagnosis, however. The problem isn't the government, it's the influence corporate money has over government. For the most part, corporations still want as little regulation as possible, and well-regulated capitalism, while far from perfect, works fairly well.

An unfettered free market is the absolutely wrong direction to head in. Markets have no concern whatsoever for human health and welfare, and environmental health has no place on corporate ledgers.

So as much as I like these diagrams, I view this site with suspicion.

17. Is there a reason the people are nearly entirely Democrats

(or worked in a Democratic administration)? I'd think it would have to be much more evenly divided. I wonder what the intent of this chart is.

[lonestarnot]

28. That's about the scope of it.

[WillyT]
