The best way to bring CEO compensation in line would be for shareholders to dump stock in companies who have out of control CEO's. As most Americans are dumb, most shareholders are dumb and believe the BS peddled out by "rockstar" CEO's on CNBC. The problems with Corporate America are the same problem with American democracy... when the population is dumb they will choose dumb leaders and policies. The solution? Edumacate people gooder.;)
Here in Boston I've lose power once in two years, all with above ground powerlines. When I lived in Connecticut, we lost power about once a year. There was one year when we lost power several times in the span of a month, but that was due to highway crews hitting underground wires.
I don't know where you've lived but I would hardly say it's a problem. Our infrastructure is hardly holding the US back, let's compare GDPs for example.
That's not an ideal solution. So the rich get to pollute while the poor don't have that option. Real equitable society you got over there. A better solution: don't allow anybody to pollute. And I'm generally a conservative too.
Goldbugs (people who are convinced that only a gold currency will work) will always argue that things are going to collapse... unfortunately this sabotages their own argument. A better argument would be "there are strong inherent risks in today's economy".
A rebuttal section of the Constitution might this though:
Full Faith and Credit shall be given in each State to the public Acts, Records, and judicial Proceedings of every other State. And the Congress may by general Laws prescribe the Manner in which such Acts, Records and Proceedings shall be proved, and the Effect thereof.

Interstate tariffs are unconstitutional, but forcing states to obey other's tax laws is not.
Ok, but according this this our internet penetration is higher than yours. Canada has good broadband access but I the problem was that so many people in the US already had existing dialup connections that they didn't forsee the need to upgrade. I once read that Jamaica has nearly the same cell phone penetration rate tha the US and Canada does, but their overall phone penetration rate is very low. So many Americans and Canadians already have phones they don't feel the need to upgrade.
1) US unemployment rates only count actively registered unemployed. Once the unemployment runs out most people don't bother showing up to register anymore. In Europe they have 'the dole' for which you get paid to show up and so they record larger numbers of unemployed. In the US the official numbers are skewed.
I see this old canard on/. constantly. AHEM, YOU MUTTONHEADED, JACKASS, BUFFOON, PINHEAD: THE UNEMPLOYMENT RATE HAS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE.
Does it really seem ridiculous that 10 of that might be from their monopoly? It seems sensible to me.
I think you need some lessons in logic. You're assuming that that 10 billion will disappear were MS not a monopoly? That's even assuming that MS is a monopoly whereas Linux proves it isn't.

Right because we have no automated traffic lights in the US. You Euros are really desperate lately.

Fiber optics are more reliable and faster than wireless.

You think you don't pay for state highways? Heh.
That is if the BA is proposing this. I can't make heads or tails of the original article what the Treaty is... it's so skewed in it's reporting.

Nonsense. Ever hear of the "Lipid Hypothesis"? The connection of diet to heart disease is merely a hypothesis and so very weak at that.
Why is that so better? The US has the second oldest continuous government in existance. Our system keeps the crazies out.
You want lower taxes and more services? You are an American! Or just the typical 14 year old idiot Slashdot pos(t)er.
It's true!

The US does make something, as our GDP is quite high. Exported goods does not necessarily equal the sum of everything produced.
The US is number 3 or 4 with Canada a little below that.
Yes I noticed that after I posted. But for whatever reason, I have noticed that people around me with dialup and reluctant to upgrade to cable.

Why do Slashdotters consistently lie when they know they have no idea what they're talking about?

You absolute simian, subhuman nitwit!
And there are federal court cases that "prove" that making copies of music for yourself is theft. So what?

... when this forum practices censoring opinions that the mods do not agree with more than any other site online.
The US government is still evil somehow! ;)
