Single-payer would bankrupt the country. There will never be enough of anything to satisfy demand completely.
The solution is to relax regulations, not increase them. Remove the artificial limits placed on the number of doctors by the AMA, relax the burdens on licensing, etc. Cap malpractice payouts through tort reform.
Its not bankrupted any other first world country which has universal healthcare free at the point of need. The tax burden per capita of the UK NHS is the same as the tax burden per capita in the USA for Medicare and Medicaid yet the NHS covers 100% of the population. It may not be perfect but people don't have to make the choice between getting treatment and eating.
You could start by remembering they've been in IT longer than you've been alive so instead of thinking of them like dinosaurs show some fucking respect. Approaching my 50s I've been in IT longer than most of the people I bail out have been alive. If this had been my IT manager he would be told to piss off and sort his own problems out had that been the attitude I felt I was getting.
One only needs to take a peek at Reddit to see just exactly what he's talking about. Makes Facebook look tame especially in the news on political subs.
EU countries impose massive tax burdens relative to the rest of the world. Excessive taxation, especially for how EU countries spend the money, is unjust. Refusing to pay unfair and excessive taxes is a moral position. Apple should continue to not pay the taxes, and they are completely justified in that position.
We get a good universal healthcare system, good welfare state, good education system and decent infrastructure for our money. You may think we're taxed to death but the tax burden per capita in the UK for the NHS is the same as the tax burden per capita of Medicare/Medicaid is for the US yet we get a healthcare system where it is free to use for all. We also get things provided for free that are an additional cost in the USA. We don't pay a separate charge through our local taxes for the fire department for example.
I'd rather keep paying the taxes and have what we have than not do and end up living in a first world country where highway bridges are collapsing and people go bankrupt because they get ill.
simple as that: if you can't find it on netflix, what then?
hulu? amazon? youtube?
when you run out of options it comes back to torrent (or whatever the kids are using)
You'd have a point were it not for the fact that the stuff on Netflix etc is still being pirated. Your argument is as dumb as those who are pro-music piracy saying it's about DRM when Apple and Amazon do DRM free music.
A modern ICE car is almost 100% recyclable and all that can be is. Whilst it is a similar story with the electric car nobody yet bothers to recycle the lithium battery because it costs far more to do that than just dig fresh lithium out the ground and process it.
Part of the reason they're cheaper is their lower depreciation. However for those of us in the UK who are sensible and would never buy a new car to see half to two thirds of its value lost in the first two years in depreciation then an electric car becomes far more expensive.
Brings out the Tesla because he wants to cut pollution and save the planet, sets up space company which has a rocket that'll burn a million pounds of fuel in a matter of seconds just to send stuff to a space station that just sits there spinning round the globe.
It was shit under Steve Jobs as well. Apple iPhone power button anyone that was still defective suffering the same failure four releases later? The only difference between Jobs and Cook is Tim Cook doesn't have people who think of him as the second coming of Christ so they're not as blinded by faith as they were before.
Name another car maker who is conscious enough to care about creating healthy environment for humans to live in.
VW had an electric version of the MK1 Golf, the Rabbit in the early 80s which was an electric car. Peugeot had an electric 206 a decade before Tesla brought out their car. Every European and Asian manufacturer has a range of vehicles which are far more friendly to the environment than the gas guzzling shit produced by Chevrolet, Ford, Buick etc. Even the American versions of European cars such as the Ford Mondeo which is sold as the Ford Fusion have larger engines because selfish Americans seem to think you need at least 3 litre engines to drive to the store to pick up a pint of milk.
Politicians who supported the move at a meeting of the full council today say using Windows 10 will make it easier to source compatible applications and hardware drivers than it has been using a Linux-based OS
I can fully understand why. I've been using Linux on and off for over a decade and a half, even paid for SuSE!!!!. I've run Linux Mint on a Thinkpad for a few years, no problems. Decided to put it on my desktop. Only problem is I have a NVIDIA Geforce 1060 GTX graphics card. Little did I realise just what an absolute nightmare it was going to be even to just get the Live DVD to boot to a GUI. Ended up having to re-enable onboard Intel Graphics just to be able to boot the live distro and install it. I then wasted an hour and a half of my life doing lots of HDMI swapping and rebooting trying the various suggested solutions to get the installed OS running with a GUI on the Geforce 1060. I did manage to achieve it which was more by luck than design but then I updated the graphics driver and bam, broken again.
So after an hour and a half of trying to do what should be a very simple job which had never been a problem in the past on my old desktop with an older version of Mint running a NVIDIA 9600GT and which had never ever been an issue on the various NVIDIA cards I've had since I'd run Linux from the days of RH6.3 I booted into Windows and ran bootsect/nt60 c:/mbr
My wife plays Farmville type games on her tablet. She can earn things through gameplay or she can choose to buy items. Say she wants a tractor. She can either play for so many hours to earn enough in game credit to get a tractor or she can buy in real cash so many game credits and use those to buy a tractor.
Now here is where it differs. In COD:WW2 I can choose to earn supply drops through game play or I can buy COD points to purchase supply drops. Same as the game my wife plays so all good so far yes? The problem is that when I open those supply drops what I get is chosen at random. I cannot buy a supply drop to get a specific weapon or upgrade I want, I get what is randomly assigned to it. At the point I am in the game the ones I earn through gameplay mostly contain duplicates of what I have so I get a paltry amount of armoury points awarded for the dupes. Therefore I buy $40 of COD points, use those to buy supply drops and I could find myself getting mostly duplicates and not getting the stuff I wanted or need.
If you could buy the points and choose the items you wanted as you can with my wife's games then there would be no issue but you can't, what you get is random. And that is the whole problem with it and why some look on it as gambling.
So it is confirmed that the content is not a problem? Interesting policies youtube.
I think it is more of an indictment of yourself that you think a young kid being in a night gown is anything other than a young kid being in a night gown. I doubt it was a negligee or other lingerie, probably just a young girl in a my little pony nightie. If you find the possibility of that being sexually attractive then you have issues. Or are you one of the brigade that think every man is a closet paedophile?
Unless Ajit Pai has a penchant for pornography he isn't likely to notice. Actually given how many times I've gone to sites hosted on Cloudfare to be met with the Error 502 message would he even notice any difference?
Make no mistake, Mr. fake van Doorn is going to get caught. People that steal real money like this without connections and money behind them are doomed to get caught and go to jail. The SEC started the initial paperwork to start going after these ICO scammers and they don't' screw around, they ruin your life, send you to jail and then let the IRS have their way with you.
That is assuming he is in the USA. If he isn't then the SEC and IRS can stamp their feet all they want and they can't do a damned thing about it.
Open-source software is also more secure than closed-source software, by its very nature: the code is perpetually scrutinized by countless users across the planet, and any weaknesses are shared immediately.
Remember it wasn't that long ago when all you had to do was hit Backspace 28 times and you could bypass login security on almost all Linux distros....
Its already happening in the first world. In most of the richest nations there is a declining birthrate with governments worried about the financial consequences that brings. It is places like the Third World where they're still pumping them out at a ridiculous rate where the issue lies.
The appeal of Bitcoin is that it is decentralised global money system that cannot be controlled or shut down by governments./p>
Can you tell me what the trigger was for most of the significant downturns of the last few years? I'll remind you if you didn't know - the Chinese Government closing down Bitcoin exchanges. It can absolutely be shut down by a government in a country merely by making it impossible to convert Bitcoin into local currency.
So why should we sign on to something that does not benefit us, or is even "fair"?
I would argue that it does benefit you. The USA doesn't exist in a dome, it is subject to the same climate change the rest of the planet is along with all the downsides that come with that. If things continue as they are you can expect worse winters in northern US States, far more hurricanes and tornados in the south/east, more wild fires in California as well as flooding throughout the entire country along with the loss of property and life that comes with that.
Yesterday I saw a Kia Soul electric SUV here in northern England. When you even have companies like Kia selling them then I don't have any worries that there will be an issue by 2030.

The UK NHS pays some silly amounts of money for some treatments. Some of them can be $1,000s a dose and you're still not charged anything for them.
Don't need to spend as much on defense when you're not invading large parts of the world and making most of it hate you.
Single-payer would bankrupt the country. There will never be enough of anything to satisfy demand completely.

Actually, a dishwasher wastes less water than hand-washing.
But uses as much if not more detergent, creates pollution and waste during its manufacture and uses a shitload of electricity.

It doesn't work now because anyone with an ounce of common sense is turning off SMB1.0 on Windows.
