The Fed is a government chartered and regulated central bank. It actually does it's job fairly well.

Umkay.....

One small problem.

Banks dont print their own money to pay their bills.

The proprietors of a Bank that did that would find themselves in prison.




Sooooooo, definitely NOT a bank.

Federally chartered central bank. Entirely different beast. Also, banks used to print money all the time.

. . . The government didnt build the shitty website..its actually worse than that.

The statement should read ......

The Government that couldnt find a competent company to build its Health Care website just took over the Internet.

The Gvt didnt build shit...

True dat, but I think Thor's statement is also true - the government couldn't build its Health Care website (so it subcontracted the work out as you indicated).

it built a website... it has one.. whether it works well is another story... the statement is false because it assumes there is no website that was built...FAIL

english language is simple.. what is said is what it means... --- can't build a website means didn't build one NADA... so is there a website or isn't there

in case you're not sure

https://www.healthcare.gov

Right, it's just the most expensive website in fucking human history, and still doesn't function 100% as it should.

Men have been poets

As a dev manager working in Internet infrastructure (and who had in the past worked on Gmail, Google Maps, etc), let me correct a few misconceptions.
1) healthcare.gov is "the most expensive website in fucking human history" - this is quite obviously not true. More or less any prime Internet property- Facebook, Google (search, Maps, Gmail), Bing, Amazon, even AOL are VASTLY more expensive than healthcare.gov. Many orders of magnitude more. People who think that $600M is expensive when it comes to developing a massively distributed online property have absolutely ZERO clue. Negative clue actually - they spew shit about things they fundamentally do not understand. You know what Google's R&D budget is? Well, according to their 70-20-10 rule, 70% of that goes into search and ads.

2) healthcare.gov is a trainwreck due to issues on release. Again, BULLSHIT. Almost every software application sucks in v1. You know what Windows was in v1? Facebook? Google search? No, you don't - because you did not have Faux "News" "analysts" watching it though the microscope, and, more importantly, you didn't have several million people who tried to use it right after the release. The reality is, almost every private website - from safeway.com to alaskaair.com - goes through initial phase where it's more or less useless, then improves over time. No difference - all these web sites are developed by the same Indian contractors, using the same technology/process/whatever. Yes, these dev teams are not Microsoft or Google, but you know what? As a taxpayers paying the current measly 35% or 40% or whatever it is top tax bracket, you can't afford Microsoft of Google developers. If I were to do it, it would probably work well on launch - but cost 3 times as much, and take twice the time to launch.

So - dear Internet skeptics, climate skeptics, evolution skeptics - can you please be skeptical about something you actually UNDERSTAND instead? Or maybe spend 10-20 years understanding it, and THEN be skeptical about it, how does this sound? I know it's going to be a lot less fun - but trust me, you will look a lot less insane.

A paper on Van Gogh's "The Starry Night"
One on The Belgian Free State under Leopold II of Belgium's colonial rule.
One based off two hours spent in a courtroom listening to shrinks from Western State testify on if a person could be involuntarily drugged to render them competent for trial,and the ensuing argument between defense and prosecution.
A thematic interpretation of the poem "My Papa's Waltz"
But only the first one is due anytime soon and is nearly done. Why do you ask?

You left out history skeptics. There are people who still believe the Confederate side of things, think Woodrow Wilson was fascist and that Russia only played a supporting roll in winning WWII.
