This is the real answer.

CBS not fact checking gives the liar a strong advantage.

The moderators not fact checking is fine for things like debate competitions because the judges are experts.

But in a public debate, an opponent even responding to a lie legitimizes the lie. "Of course he'd say that."

When a candidate lies and the facts are readily available to the moderators, it is imperative for the public good that they fact check.

It's actually a lot more difficult and expensive to send something to the sun than to send it to Mars.

He should use the money he has now to build a rocket and send himself to Mars. That way he won't have to worry about US government programs anymore.

It's just such an obvious and outrageous lie. If you believe that, you'll believe anything.

Also, if it was happening, wouldn't the parents be the ones complaining? I mean, wouldn't the parents be famous right now? They'd be on all the talk shows making the news circuit.

If this actually happened, the parents' names would be famous. Trump would be parading these people around.

It is Germany, yes, but it's not "not Tesla."

Many companies manage to make money without destroying significant numbers of trees.

Just because something unethical is legal doesn't mean that the person doing that thing escapes all criticism.

I suspect that if you add up all the money Youtubers make, and you divide it by all of the man hours people spent trying to make a living off of Youtube, "poverty stricken PhD candidate" would start to seem like a good financial decision.

This article is about an out of control DeSantis removing several elected Democrats from their positions because he disagreed with them (because they were Democrats), and replacing them with Republicans.

Apparently, that's what passes for a democracy in Florida.

By these standards, most of my adult relatives are actually children.

This looks like it could be a precursor to the "go to horny jail" meme.

The idea that a state government is unnecessarily at the mercy of any corporation is hard to comprehend. Especially, as in this case, a foreign corporation.

Open source shouldn't only be the standard for governments. It should be the minimum requirement.
