Actually, I have dug into the numbers. They say all but the rich are losing buying power. They say the 1% are doing OK but the 0.1% are making out like bandits.
Sure. They wanted political power so they could make people stop pissing on them. And so they could re-level the playing field enough that they could quit getting poorer.
Don't forget how wealth and political power so often go hand in hand.
There is a time and place for everything, but there is no case in history where the rich kept getting richer while the poor got poorer that didn't end in pitchforks.
Not one.
There are some cases where the rich wised up long enough to placate the masses. See the New Deal.
The only problem is when working class delude themselves into thinking they are not working class and vote for people who piss on the working class from great height.
It's actually more analogous to living near the border and driving to the other country to buy your TV for less. Then when you get home, the manufacturer breaks in to your home and steals it.
Or to put it another way, they take advantage of unhealthy markets in North America that fail to push prices down to the marginal cost of production and do their best to defeat any natural market force that might bypass that market.
It doesn't matter. If he wants to have each meal in a different country every day for a year, people will fall over themselves to make it happen as soon as he whips out the black card. The fact that there aren't enough countries to make that happen doesn't mean he somehow isn't wealthy.
I'm not even so sure the [plan B is less ethical. All in all, I would like to see the increased difficulty of the close access act as a filter. How is it less ethical to bug the office of someone you're fairly convinced is an actual threat than it is to bug everyone's internet access?
It sounds like an improvement. It even sounds suspiciously close top them doing their damned job.
Am I the only one who thout replacing the "charms bar" with the "action center" sounded like a mid-'70s toy company trying to sell a "girl's toy" to boys?
It comes in all forms as well. I remember when I was 8 or 9, wandering around on top of Stone Mountain. I started talking to an elderly security guard and he was in the mood for a story, so he told me about when the KKK used to meet on the mountain. I can't say thje message itself was necessarily what a parent would want their child to hear, but I knew enough to understand that he was telling a story from a different time. It wasn't until then that I actually understood racism to be a real and ugly thing rather than a set of facts in a text book. I also learned a lot about how normal that level of racisim seemed to someone from that time and how people (especially older people) may be a product of their time. No amount of droning on in a classroom could have taught that so well.
I suppose today, he wouldn't have had time to tell me that story because some MBA looking for an excuse to get rid of him would have called it goofing off. Given that part of the park's mission is teaching, he couldn't have been more on-task.
That's what's really missing. Time and energy. Families just don't have it anymore while trying to make ends meet. Nobody else really does either.
They are quite rare, but unlike the debunked autism claim, there is not a long delay from the vaccine to the reaction.
For example, anaphylaxis is goiing to happen fairly quickly if it is going to happen.
Disseminated encephalomyelitis (acute or recurring) can be set off by either a viral infection or a vaccine. Since a vaccine shouldn't be given is a current viral infection is suspected, if it happens shortly after a vaccination, it's fairly clear that either the vaccine caused it or that it should not have been given at that time.
The exceptionally rare immune system failures that can happen after a vaccine don't just spontaneously happen.
If a whole lot of a vaccine is bad, statistics do a decent job of determining that the vaccine was to blame. For example, this article where a lot polio vaccine gave the kids polio. Here is a study of DTP reactions.
The fact that the existence of severe reactions is known shows that it is statistically verifiable. Individual cases can never be proven to perfect certainty, but in the U.S. the standard for liability is preponderance of the evidence.
Looked at from another direction, justice requires that if government shields the manufacturer from liability, it must stand in and accept the liability itself.
If employers can discriminate for not getting the vax, it is constructively mandatory. I agree that un-vaccinated students should stay home during an outbreak. Likewise employees. That is a matter of a clear and present danger.
Considering that a vaccine reaction can leave a person with lifelong disability and high ongoing bills for care, few can afford the risk alone. We already have a compensation program coupled with a liability shield for the manufacturers since otherwise nobody would manufacture the vaccine. We just need to make it actually support those very few who need it, not just barely keep them out of poverty.
A real issue is that if vaccinations become mandatory for employment. you can bet more than one radical church will decide they must be the mark of the beast and then we have a real issue.
But consider, the measles start out with flu-like symptoms. IF you feel free to stay out of work right then, you won't spread the disease. A few days later, the characteristic red rash appears to let you know it's not the flu, but by then you have been contagious for 3 days and will be for another 3. Even then, many clueless employers will insist that you must go to a doctor at the height of your contagiousness and sit in a public waiting room so you can bring a doctor's note with you when you return (or don't bother to return at all).
That situation CAN come up even if your vaccinations are in order.
I'm not so sure about making the vaccination absolutely mandatory, but I would like to see them made very easy to get, preferably they should be practically automatic. For example, have an RN on hand at school registration ready and willing to give the vaccine for free to any child that doesn't have one. As a bonus, have her hand out candy after the shot or when vaccination records are presented. Let the kids wear the parents down:-) If necessary, tell them that resistance to measles is a super power.
And make sure that the very rare but existent harmful reaction is very well compensated. After all, it happened in service to society.
That's how I ended up with one. It does look nice, but I'm glad I waited until the old TV failed.
I did not upgrade the satellite receiver or the DVD player. That means that oddly enough, I can either watch network shows in 480p over the satellite or 1080p OTA. But I find myself not being enthused enough by the extra resolution to bother switching over even though I can see the difference.
In short, it's not at all bad, but Its not so good that I will actually make any effort to get it, much less pay for it.
I believe he is in part convening the incredible callousness of the financial world. They don't care if peons starve as long as they can get that winter yacht.
Your figures look about right. It is a good bit of capacity but with really poor discharge characteristics. But it's no mystery. Being a dry pile, practically the whole thing is reactants.

Or you did in the other direction. I find that more likely and that it better matches what everyone seems to be experiencing.

The part you are deluded in is that you are at all likely to get that other 9/10ths and become the target of those pitchforks.

Yes, and yet somehow, Branson can have another 10 or 20 Virgin Galactics and still not have to get a 9 to 5 in order to eat.
The guys who create those things may not be rich, and often don't become rich as a result, but the big bucks those ideas end up making go to the rich.
Time to put the cool-aid down. You are told that so you don't pick the pitchfork up.
You are NOT a temporarily embarrassed millionaire. You are working class and will always be working class.
Meanwhile, I'm picturing a sad kid lamenting that his cool Christmas present barely lasted a month...

How about selling an OS to adults?
I wonder how many respondents made exactly the same assumption when they indicated yes.

I agree that a societal solution is needed.
If employers can discriminate for not getting the vax, it is constructively mandatory. I agree that un-vaccinated students should stay home during an outbreak. Likewise employees. That is a matter of a clear and present danger.

Noticeable and noticeably more entertaining are two different things. I generally don't find arm hair very entertaining.
They invested a pile into 3D and where is that now?

I also feel that nicotine actually helps me clear my head and refocus, however that can be just part of an old habit.
Actually, there is evidence that you are right on that point.
