Except it took about 70 years or 3 generations for employment to recover. 3 generations of chronic unemployment with about the only saving grace being the new world, with lots of almost free land, to emigrate (or be deported to) to. Things were better during the automation that happened at the end of the 19th century, beginning of the 20th, when the labour surplus was handled by things like child labour laws, shorter work weeks and changing women's role into stay at home moms leading to a smaller labour participation number and higher employment.
People see headlines like the other day where a mining company is switching to self driving trucks, 500 jobs lost with 100 new jobs, company trying to figure out how to retrain those people. Sure gives the impression of a reduction in jobs, especially when considering knock down effects such as less coffee being sold to the workers. Hard to see a replacement industry that employs those 400 people arriving too.
I find DDG gives me shitty results when researching how to fix my old truck. For example, my window regulator motor died on the drivers side the other day and I wanted info on fixing it, not where to buy a motor in America (I'm in Canada). Most of Googles results are usually to various forums such as F150.net vs DDG mostly giving me results that are too general or where to buy.
I'd think that there other big correlations with wealth. Being born into a wealthy family. Living in the wealthy part of town are two that seem to correlate with wealth. I see a lot of people who look like they should be retired, working shit jobs, McDonalds, Walmart, the Grocery store, all having a good percentage of old people working at close to minimum wage jobs. The stupid kids can get labouring jobs that pay 50-70+% above minimum wage, at least while their bodies last.
The tits know what really matters in the society of today: they mimic our smartphones.
For whoever modded this down, a Tit is a type of small song bird (tit originally meant small rather then being a synonym for teat) and I wouldn't be surprised if they did mimic smartphones. I have one Stellars Jay living here that mimics a hawk and Ravens used to be known for killing loggers by imitating the whistles that the high lead loggers used to use to communicate.
It varies from Province to Province. Never heard of a bond drive to finance a hospital here in BC. We still pay premiums (about $70/month for a single person with a decent income, often taken straight out of the paycheck, soon to be halved) for medical as well though it sounds like that'll be going away. Basically the Federal government sets minimum standards and each of the Provinces run their own system.
In Donald Trumps case, it would be the hair I recognize. There are lots of ways of recognizing someone. I'm pretty nearsighted and in the past have gone without my glasses for too long. I found that I could recognize people who were just grey blobs by the way they move amongst other things.
What you do have a right to do is initiate a conversation about whether it would be a net benefit for the country to have everyone connected through cell service or whatever. This is what happened when the country decided to connect most everyone to the electrical grid and the telephone network, not to mention the postal network way back.
You make some good points about flogging. The reason it is now conservative is the idea that things were better in the old days and those things included corporal punishment. Along with the conservative mindset of punishment rather then rehabilitation.
Sex legislation, where not only was homosexual sex a crime, even lots of types of sex between married couples, not to mention non-married couples or even pictures. Drug regulation, which peaked at basically outlawing alcohol nationwide for a while. There was also the threat of legislation, which was used to do things like pressure Hollywood into implementing the Hayes code, which caused quite a change in the movies and even cartoons. Look at early Betty Boop vs late Betty Boop.
Russia started being the bad guy again about 5 years back, mostly over the Ukraine and the attempts by the west to militarize it and Russia responding about 4 years back by annexing the Crimea. The Russians meddling in the American election follows the west, mostly represented by America meddling in, or at least doing actions that the Russians perceived as, meddling in the border states of Russia. After being invaded a few times and losing 10's of millions of people the last time, Russia is somewhat paranoid. America is similar, almost destroying the world when after putting missiles on the Turkish border of the USSR, the USSR retaliated by putting missiles in Cuba and I'd guess America would react pretty strongly if Russia seemed to be gaining too much influence in Canada or Mexico.
Yep, you can go to any country in the world and ask who the politest tourists are and they'll always answer Americans. Shit, us Canadians have to put a stars and stripes flag on our stuff to avoid being considered unpolite people because everyone knows that not being heavily armed makes Canadians one of most unpolite societies in the world.
Apple could have taken a different path, released a non-crippled Apple IIx. Would have meant Jobs not being such a twit though, with his "users don't need colour" and "users don't need expansion options"
Between one of the highest cost of living in the world, a less then 1% vacancy rate, it's hard to blame the ever increasing homeless as just mental heath issues, though I guess losing your home can lead to mental health issues.
Sure seems to be a lot of people in the local homeless camp living outside in this shitty Canadian winter weather. It is true that they have better tarps and plastic then the European Kings. When you include the homeless who are lucky enough to couch serf or live in their cars, there is a fuck of a lot of homeless in this wonderful booming economy.
Rome had their bread and circuses, both free. Politicians need votes and/or support.
Roman politicians passed laws in 140 B.C. to keep the votes of poorer citizens, by introducing a grain dole: giving out cheap food and entertainment, "bread and circuses", became the most effective way to rise to power.
And even highly competitive industries such as fast food restaurants need regulating so they don't race to a bottom of saving money by not keeping the food preparation areas clean.
They could completely block the competing news service, or worse, block the registration site for the other party if they're political or if internet voting ever became a thing, block areas that might vote for the other party. ISP's could have a lot of political power by being the gatekeepers to various political sites.
Except there is a real reason why ground delivery is slower and cheaper. There is no reason that Netflix should cost more then streaming someones catcam at 4k. Your UPS example is more like being able to buy a higher bitrate or higher cap from your ISP, fine under net neutrality.
Championing internet voting sounds like a good reason not to vote for you as it is close enough to impossible to implement in a way that is secure and understandable to the average voter. One of the most important things in democracy is for the people to believe the vote was fair and accept the results.
Witch actually means wise, as in wise woman. Some examples of witchcraft. Giving Willow tea to treat aches, pain and/or fever. Willow's active ingredient is basically aspirin. Using Foxglove to treat dropsy, a heart condition. Foxglove is also known as Digitalis and is used to treat heart conditions today. Putting cowpox or smallpox scabs in the eye. This became popularized as inoculation, which led to vaccination and elimination of smallpox today.

Some of us are old enough to remember the first inter-racial kiss on TV, Kirk and a cute green skinned woman, which was our introduction to diversity.
Why? It is correct, along with couleur.
I'm sorry, but we have colour NTSC TV's here in Canada (some remote areas still have analog repeaters) and they used to be quite common.
