7. Thanks, Chef

Weird decision, that. Also, the holes in his reasoning that the TED editor referred to weren't apparent to me.
I can understand why a supposedly neutral website doesn't want to promote partisan views, but reality has a well know liberal bias ...(Stephen Colbert @ WH Press Correspondents' Dinner, best speech ever)
Besides, neutrality doesn't exist, unless one posts anything and everything choices are made that cannot be neutral.

5. THIS DISCREDITED TRICKLE DOWN THERORY HAS BEEN KNOW BY ANY AVERAGE IQ PERSON, EVEN POLITICIANS

For decades, it is part of the Big Lie that feathers the beds of the super rich at the expense of the 99%. So when Nick Hanauer tells the truth, the powerful ban it on TED. As if tape will also be banned. Share this with all you know, because it is the Truth to part of the Big Lie.
