You're right about knowingly, which raises the question of how to tell the difference between someone legally allowed to work or not. Here in theory, it is probably having a SIN (Social Insurance #) but I lost my card a long time ago and just give out the number. I also lost my citizenship card at the same time though I still have the large certificate, which wouldn't be that hard to forge. Last time I used it as ID, they borrowed it for 10 minutes and used it as a training tool at the local government office.
Here we have summary and indictable offences (as well as hybrid where it is up to the Crown which to pursue) with the division at 6 months though it is possible to be indicted and sentenced to less then 6 months and still lose things like your right to keep your fingerprints private and having to wait 10 years for a pardon. Other rights/privileges are generally only removed at the discretion of the Judge at sentencing so do something stupid with a firearm and get banned from owning firearms for X years. Same with things like driving and getting put on the sex predator list, only happens if a Judge thinks it makes sense as part of a sentence. rather then having whole classes of people deprived of rights/privileges (DUI is an exception)
Interesting about Mexico, which I know little about but generally civil law jurisdictions seem really foreign with what seems like basic principle such as innocent until proved guilty sometimes reversed.
Should it not be the people employing the undocumented immigrants who are thrown in prison? If Americans weren't offering the undocumented immigrants money in trade for labour, they'd have much less motivation to escape the places that America has ruined. BTW, in answer to another comment you made, Mexico does not have felons, just America and Nigeria officially have that class of people with their rights permanently restricted, often for political reasons, the rest of the world got rid of the idea of felons a long time ago.
There are lots of factors that deprive peasants of their land. China has built some big damns, pushing millions of their lands. Much of the 3rd world has also suffered from wars, which can be quite hard on land, think unexploded munitions. But the usual reason is simply enclosure of the commons, where the rulers claim the land that the peasants held in common (without a deed), fence it, and force the peasants off. This also happened in the west back in Luddite times, in particular England. When your livelihood depends on having land to let the pigs live, fields to grow food on and pasture to harvest hay and the local bigwig gets a law passed claiming the land, the peasant can't make a living anymore, is forced to move to town (there's usually strong vagrancy laws in the country) to survive and factory work is the only choice. With a huge surplus of labour and no regulations, working conditions are usually horrid but $2 a day is better then nothing. What's funny is the countries that claim to be communist where the government overrides the local culture which was closer to true communism then the authoritarians can dream as farmers are usually sharing types.
Serial port headers on a MB aren't that rare (last time I looked) luckily as USB modems are crap, use polling and seem to die if you look at them wrong. USB to serial port adapters aren't much better in my experience. Serial port just works, even before the system finishes loading the kernel and if you want to debug a kernel... My old USR sportster works well on the shitty phone lines around here as well.
Why? I can easily write a cheque for my sons school and he isn't going to spend it and if it gets lost, it is easy to stop it. As nice as cash is, it is not always practical.
We have a word for that, "politician", or at least "successful politician". Especially true in some countries where money is one of the biggest qualifiers for office.
Not generally true, and would be even less so if things were easier to repair. In the world of cars there is a big industry independent of the original car makers making spare car parts.
Which sadly took laws to enable. Generally the car manufacturers are like so many and will put up as many road blocks as possible to stop you from servicing your car or paying someone besides the manufacture. I'll note that the car manufacturers are now trying to use the electronic/computer parts of their cars to force you to the manufacturer
Where in the American Constitution does it say that the legislature can remove someones right to bear arms? Shit, I live in a country where we don't have the right to bear arms, but it takes a Judge to remove the privilege of owning arms as part of the sentence and it's only done when someone did something stupid with a firearm.
It's Quebec, basically politics are split between the separatists and the pro-confederation people and there probably wasn't anything of interest said, if the listener could even understand the language. Canada is different then the States, the Provincial political parties are often not associated with the Federal political parties.
While you make a very good point, there are lots of substances that we don't get immune to, things like lead along with many more new substances that we haven't evolved to deal with.
I'm not even American, and I know enough that unless you vote in one of the few swing States, you should vote 3rd party, if only as a protest, compared to not voting or throwing your vote away on the loser. Politicians do notice 3rd party votes and take their issues into consideration and if nothing else you can say that 60% of American voted against Trump/Clinton.
Try making the argument that income is not revenue when (as an employee) filling out your taxes. Try deducting all your driving expenses, needed to get to work. Deducting your housing, needed to live so you can work. Deducting your childcare, clothing, food and all those other expenses required to go to work. I'm self-employed and I get to write off all kinds of things that I couldn't if I was an employee even though I'd have most of the same expenses.
It doesn't take that much sophistication to grow hemp, perhaps the first farmed food as it grows so easily. Grind up the seeds and all your protein and essential oils are supplied, eat the leaves as well and you're close to having all the nutrition needed to survive, especially if there are some insects mixed in.
If a crime has been committed, the police are free to nicely ask for private video footage, no warrant required. I often hear about the cops canvassing businesses for video, last time it was for a hit and run where someone died. Most people will voluntarily turn over the video if there is a good reason.
The 3 letter agencies will be the last to lose their funding and are also the agencies most capable of self-funding. At least they'll be happy that any watchdogs (are any agencies watching?) get defunded.
From the outside looking in, Obama doesn't seem much different then Bush when it comes to the important policies. You have bank bailouts started by Bush and continued by Obama. You have a medical plan designed originally by Romney to give the insurance companies more business and power. You have trade agreements designed to fuck people everywhere which are supported by all the pro-business types. You have continuous war, mostly in support of one of the most conservative societies on Earth. Do you think things would have been much different with Romney or McCain? Really America's problem is in electing Authoritarians, whether they lean one way or another, you know they don't agree with liberty.
And Liberals. This is the big problem with armed revolt, America is so divided into camps that it'll deteriorate into something like Right vs Left fighting while the powers that be sit back and let it happen.
Actually the Civil War and the War of Independence were more wars of government vs (parent) government rather then citizen vs government. Governments do often reflect the will of the people, but are usually much better at organizing.
They're just speeding up a natural process. If we stopped all CO2 output, natural weathering will cause the excess CO2 to get sequestered into limestone within a couple of thousand years, which is a good thing as without any CO2 sequestering we'd be much more Venus like, a planet with no CO2 sequestering. There is also a feedback loop, the more CO2, the more evaporation leading to more rain, which causes more weathering of rock, which leads to more CO2 sequestering. Over geological periods this also partially explains climate changes, sometimes the continents are laid out in such a way that there is lots of rainfall on land and CO2 levels drop. Other times the continents (or continent) is laid out in such a way that there is little rain, perhaps a shortage of mountains to block the winds and cause rain or perhaps huge dry inland areas, and the CO2 increases. There is also the other green house gases such as methane to consider, which is one of the reasons for the faint Sun paradox. The Sun used to only have about 75% of current output yet the Earth had liquid oceans. In the 1.1Gyrs that you mention, the Sun is going to get hotter (it gets denser as the ratio of He to H increases, so burns hotter) , the oceans will boil, introducing more water vapour into the atmosphere, which is a powerful greenhouse gas, perhaps all this limestone will revert back to CO2, and life will be fucked.
Why would they take the guns away? Letting you have some means that the people keep quiet about this type of shit because you believe that you're free and can overthrow the government if needed while they know that if the shit hits the fan, it'll be American killing American and they continue to make sure that Americans are split into camps that hate each other more then the government. It's as likely that Americans will get together and vote third party as getting together, pulling out their guns and overthrowing the government.
Well as revolutions go, it sure wasn't successful. Did you guys even get closer then 3 thousand miles from the government? Revolutions are about overthrowing a government. Wars of separation are about divorcing from a government.

Those are examples of corruption and totalitarianism. Better example is my credit union and some of the local co-ops.

We'd die pretty quick with no potassium.

Grind up the seeds and all your protein and essential oils are supplied, eat the leaves as well and you're close to having all the nutrition needed to survive, especially if there are some insects mixed in.
As you go north (and it wasn't far in the ice ages), primitive people ate more meat. Look at the Inuit, close to pure carnivore.
If a crime has been committed, the police are free to nicely ask for private video footage, no warrant required. I often hear about the cops canvassing businesses for video, last time it was for a hit and run where someone died. Most people will voluntarily turn over the video if there is a good reason.
So it is inhabited, at least as much as much of northern Canada. Seems as the original owners, they should be able to choose their own course.
