if there were more valuable reasons, talking publicly about it would only drive up the price.

It's not about the nail!

Yeah so far there's not enough nuance in the discussion.

I also like to separate between 1) solvable vs unsolvable problems: e.g. you cannot solve a deceased relative.

Also 2) first time vs multiple repeat problems

If find it very irritate someone is venting to me repeatedly about solvable problems.

But if it's a 1 time unsolvable problem, then it's important to be in listening mode.

You are missing the point, though. The complainer decides whether it's a solvable problem or not, not the listener. So "I'll listen if it's unsolvable (to me)" is a non-starter.

Well I decide if it’s annoying to me and I’m going to tolerate it or lend support.

401k's are independent of the company. The account is in your name, not the companies.

Thanks for sharing all of his books with the next generation of readers via the free library. His influence will live on!

Left wingers viciously attack their own if they don't sing from the hymm book. They are scared of being labeled.

it doesn't take even a serious reading of Adams to realize he was dogbert, not Dilbert. He mocked Dilbert, he thought he was a loser that did understand how to manipulate the system.

I think it's okay to perpetuate segregation from the racists. The non-racists white and blacks can live together. And the extreme left mob who have an axe to grind with white people can live with the neo-nazis.

A wise man once said "Can't we all just get along"

You are hitting the nerve here - California has one of the highest rates of hate crimes in US.

No, 93% of the population want nothing to do with extreme left wing socialist mob politics.
