The states are all supposed to be independent economic experiments, one of the states should try something like dropping the state minimum wage to whatever the federal minimum is, institute state-wide single payer basic healthcare, and promote it all as a business-friendly measure.
After all payroll costs will drop, medium sized businesses can get out of the burden of being health care managers altogether, a lot of skilled numerate people will be available who would otherwise be filling medical insurance claims (businesses claim they are looking for good people these days), larger businesses can still offer "Cadillac" health insurance top-up plans with claims processing via their own HR departments at lower cost because some of the bases are already covered, and man-on-the-street gets health coverage so does not need to stiff the ER via bankruptcy whenever things go bad.
Pay for it all with mix of state personal and corporation taxes pitched at a point that makes it attractive to move something better than a McJob into the state.
It's a visa in all but name. The summary even calls it a "startup-visa". You make it sound as if these immigrants are doing something wrong when all they are doing is following the rules.
They're not my figures and I'm sure they are optimistic given their source. But...
They do give cheaper options, eg. non-traditional locations (mountain tops, lake bottoms presumably)
They include the first 3 months operating costs, I don't know what they omitted
It does look like a recipe for hard work, probably failure and low returns, at least until someone can own multiple franchise locations, but hey - it's a franchise opportunity for less than 250 large.
My daughter's phone has helped her be more outgoing, she rides the bus downtown knowing she can call in help if she gets stuck, she communicates among her friends and arranges outings. There is good and bad in the cell phone usage but she's not glued to the phone playing games incessantly.
I was about to click submit on pretty much the same comment, but then I realized that I had done plenty of on-the-fly censorship when reading to my kids at bedtime. Dr. Doolittle for example is a great book but it has some racist baggage that did not need to be discussed just at that moment.
Terrorism has been a part of living in London for decades, well before the recent islam issues. And the real reason the vatican is not running inquisitions is because the europeans prevented it. So my money is on europe being able to provide a good living and a good education for its people to get this ignorance under control and in the mean time being vigilant and responding in a measured and rapid way to terror attacks.
You're right. As an atheist I was challenged by a christian to read the bible. I did, and enjoyed the old testament, no so much the new one (from a reading pleasure point of view). She was amazed I had read the old testament, turns out that wasn't what she meant and she hadn't even considered that I would think of it as the bible in the "ordinary sense" of the word.
Ironic indeed that the country voted toward the left and, if May can pull it together, will get leadership far to the right of what they just had in the form of an empowered group of christian supremacists. Irony too that they call themselves unionists but are flat out against any form of European union. Britain truly seems to have voted itself to oblivion recently.
Presumably May's new brexit plans include marching through Brussels dressed in orange, banging a drum and baiting the Belgians to a fight

doesn't a paternoster already do that ?
no - the's a little bell that rings just before impact at the bottom of the shaft, just jump in the air when you hear it, or step out of the elevator.
so the cost of my "uninsured motorist" coverage will go down when this system comes online ?... Yeah - I'll believe that when I see it.

I don't recall mentioning that - I think it's your paranoia showing. Overstaying a visa was already illegal, no change there.

subway are known for having low franchise startup costs
I hope it turns out like arrested development (the initial series at least), renegade space pilot from a dysfunctional family.
shit, it's not even transistorized.

they seem to be at least trying to do the right thing. Let's hope they get a good reputation for security and profit from it.
No shit - "windows support" call me every other day to "help" me with problems I never even knew I had.

They do it because they can ascribe anything they like to the made up god. If they hate potato chips then guess what, god hates them too.
Most voters - that's pretty funny really.

the narrator reminds me of Oliver Postgate.
no, it would be one of those rectangular watson lava lamps, I wonder what they're called.
