    These "congressmen" (Shitholes) are not creating jobs. They are protecting jobs in their State at the expense of jobs outside of their State.

    To do this they will lie, cheat, steal and create regulations till it is done.

    That does not answer the question.

    Let us state it differently.

    Looking at sports. You would state that there is no evidence that blacks seem to have a genetic advantage (as a group/race) when it comes to height and athleticism over say, Asians?

    I am actually a systems manager (Servers, Radios, Mobile Computers and Such) for a cab company.

    Regulation had some use long ago. With the internet regulation really only serves the entrenched big companies and the regulators at the expense of innovation and the customers.

    I see it all the time. My company does it. The agency that permits taxis in our area checks A/C, parking brake, paint job and window tint. You could tow the fucking thing in with no steering and it would pass.

    Lets look at the number of people that can not fight the IRS and just have to pay huge amounts of money.

    Just because not many people choose to fight the IRS to the point of prison does not mean they do not wield that power.

    Think you are safe? Go tell an IRS auditor that you are clean as a whistle and he and his family can go fuck themselves.

    We will all enjoy seeing you spend all your money on tax attorneys for the next decade of your life while you tell us that "Instances of physical restraint are small relative to the total population"

    You will dance to their tune solely because they have the power to imprison you. They do not have to imprison many people to terrorize the population.

    You are correct. The way the public gets fucked is either by the government directly or by corps that use government power against us.

    However you look at it reducing the power of the government over the people ends up with the people winning.

    bad employees at IBM do not really hurt us. They hurt IBMs bottom line. IBM is charging what it can get away with do to its competition. The price does not go up do to a badly run business. Profit goes down. As long as there is at least one well run business to compete.

    Government has no competition. IBMs shitty employees just is not our problem. Public sector employees are our problem. The minute our lazy asses get up and demand accountability our lives as a whole will get better.

    Too many lazy fucks in the public sector and too many lazy fucks in the public to stop it is something that the people can fix. If they can turn of "So you think you can dance" for a few minutes.

    Why? Why is there any work going into it? Their stance is pretty much if we have not specifically approved it before. Approve it and let the courts settle the issue.

    Why are we paying decent money for that? A high school kid could do it easily as a first job.

    I do not have to pay for some tool at IBM. If they want to pay people for crap then that is their business.

    But it is our business when public employees are being paid good money for bad work. I can understand how you believe differently. Wait. I can't. I can see no reason that your belief that the public has no interest in ho the people they are paying to do a job are performing that job.

    The fact that you would state something so obviously wrong makes me think that either you have an agenda or are incredibly stupid.

    So he is saying that genetic differences at the level of race may create differences in a race in general?

    Like make them darker, faster, smarter, more or less emotional, create differences in how well they handle differing types of stress or how adaptable they are?
