When you buy product X, you are paying for the labor of all the people who worked on product X and when someone else buys product Y then you are paying for the labor of all the people who worked on product Y.
The thing is, the people who worked on product X often duplicated the labor of those who worked on product Y. That's wasteful.
Now, I'm certainly not decrying competition and commercialism but if someone wants to work on something (and get paid for it or not) and then the fruits of that work can be shared with everyone, that's a good thing and more resources can be put towards things that are beneficial.
You can also ignore it by just breaking the law. Which many people continue to do. So your own insurance still needs to cover uninsured drivers and because insurance is now mandatory, your premiums went up. Big win...
One might argue that Detroit has assets and cash flows that, while unable to make its payments right now, will make it solvent in the future. Someone, the state or the federal government or the Fed, should help Detroit in the meantime.
Haha, sure. "I can't pay you today but I can pay you Friday. Thursday is payday and I have a hot tip on a horse. Can't lose".
Lending money to people who can't manage their finances is a mugs game. Unfortunately, the productive have little say in the matter when it comes to government splashing our wealth around.
And (some) South Koreans believe a fan left running overnight can kill you. People come up with the weirdest shit (no exceptions, there's nonsense everywhere)
Difference is, "progressives" are more likely to have made long-term spending commitments which drive the economy into the ground when things aren't so good.
Hey, Tennessee here... Do you think you could stop sucking up all the technology workers? We're experiencing a bit of a tech boom here and need some ourselves.
Unfortunately, due to a clerical mix-up, the team that was supposed to sack the people that sacked the development team got sacked first and now no one can work out what to do about it.
Most likely he wasn't even consulted. There's a strange kind of mentality in many managers that totally ignores domain knowledge that their underlings has and produces requirements based entirely on whatever happens to be the "ooh shiny" at the moment or sometimes not even that.
Stock dividends are discouraged by government tax regulations leading to internal reinvestment and further inflating the bubble. Without dividends, stocks rely on the greater fool theory to generate their value.

Corn is a shitty food. Better food could be grown in its place though.

Is there some kind of meta-joke going on there?

On the upside, if you're worried about bacteria, you can apply a match and it's self-boiling.
My point is, your justifications do not negate your unfounded prejudices. Every bigot has a rationalization.
What stadiums-to-libraries-of-congress ratio are we talking?
Considering the amount Nixon stole when he took the US off the gold standard, that would probably be fair.
What your proposition misses is the success stories where fiscally conservative policies have been put in place by parties of either side.
Uh, sure. Please send $50 to the following address...

Hey, and some of my best friends are black...
You need some introspection there...
I suspect you have your causality reversed.

Low numbers making small increases can be made to sound impressive if expressed as percentages. True fact.

Yes, yes and yes.

Possibly it's just to remind you that they have their eye on you.

Oh, and for the ad-hom, fuck you.
I was a bit skeptical about the lifedrive due to the hard-drive. With SSD though, that could be interesting.
Yes. That sounds like it's closest to what I'm thinking of out of all I've heard so far. I'll look into that further.
Hey, where my computing history comes from, ASCII was an upgrade :)
