Because of this comment, you should not be allowed to benefit from SSD drives that aren't vulnerable to these attacks. Maybe a bit would be flipped in your bank account balance, or at least a critical part of your computer's partition table.
Well then look at it this way: you'd be taxing the shit out of them on the other end to pay for all this, so it's not exactly a giveaway.
Any decrease in pay on the introduction of UBI would create a golden opportunity for workers to quit and find other work (or just quit) - they'd have nothing to fear by quitting. So companies wouldn't be wise to slash pay.
Because they put forward a politically unappealing candidate with a giant walk-in closet full of skeletons and in America, the value of your vote is proportional to the amount of unoccupied land around you. Now let's get back to discussing one of the many issues that could lead to Trump's (eventually almost certain) impeachment.
If the downpayment is $10k, you need to not buy a new unlocked high-end smartphone approximately 20 times. If you otherwise would've bought one every year, you'll be able to buy a house by the time you're middle-aged, and then maybe the year after that, you can own a smartphone!
I've never kept a phone for less than 5 years so far, so it'll take me longer.
A UBI isn't a massive business subsidy because with a UBI, you don't have to work to survive. It might even lead to an increase in wages to encourage people to work when they don't need to.
You know what is a massive, and unorganized, business subsidy? A sub-livable minimum wage. Society has to fill in the gap for those who can't afford to support themselves somewhere, whether it's through government programs or friends and family helping out.
An excess of human labor also helps to keep wages down, and government pays for all those people who can't find work to stick around and be ready to desperately grab any low-paying jobs that others aren't willing to settle for.
Maybe they'll get paid more, or maybe they won't and they'll have to cry themselves to sleep every night living in a prosperous, happy, and stable dystopia where people who work hard doing useful jobs aren't massively less wealthy than they are.
If that were true it would mean that everything to do with theories of supply and demand is total bullshit, and the definition of "efficiency" would be the maximization of the wealth that could be parasitically extracted from the consumer regardless of actual production cost (I'm assuming you don't think "peak efficiency" means maximizing the resources required for production - adding X to everyone's income didn't make everything more expensive to produce did it?).
I would support the total and complete abolition of such a system. This is a system where a rising tide sinks all ships.
No, the reason people don't just donate to government is because it would be like trying to fill an olympic swimming pool with one drop of water. It will make zero practical difference. If they could get EVERYONE to bring a drop of water, on the other hand, including yourself, it would actually make a difference.
I don't think today's infrastructure needs would provide employment for all of today's unemployed for long, even if you include Trump's giant useless monument to xenophobia in the middle of the desert. In the future with more people unemployed and lower infrastructure needs due to replacement of physical goods, improved telecommunications, and reduced fossil fuel shipment, what will they build? Ornamental pyramids?
Improvements in production efficiency make the idea of everyone being employed in useful work less and less plausible over time, and it started with the invention of agriculture.
And what will they do at these jobs? Dig holes and then re-fill them, or the equivalent for whatever a person's particular skill set is? That would satisfy those with a protestant work ethic I suppose.
The problem isn't that anyone is "hoarding jobs," it's that there isn't enough demand for jobs (because the rich are hoarding wealth).
I don't think anyone should be making more than maybe 10x minimum wage. When you take home massively more value than you can actually produce, like a CEO does, your pay comes at a cost to the rest of society. Work done by others is being unfairly attributed to you. So for today's value of a million dollars, we should certainly want to see less people "earning" millions of dollars a year.
Another situation that can lead to massive overpayment is celebrity, a problem we'll probably be stuck with forever because it's powered by two co-regenerating effects, a monopoly of attention and organic network effects.
I wouldn't be surprised if shrooms are safer for your body than pot by some small margin, but I'm sure it's not safer for your mind. Taking shrooms too many times can turn you into a Gary Busey-style space cadet and you'll just think you're "enlightened." You have to smoke weed every day for years to even risk such mental effects from pot.
like the signs that his wife is being abused (at least emotionally),
Nah she's just a typical rich man's wife who knows what the deal is. Some are in denial about the deal, but she accepts it: Stay home and raise kids in the lap of luxury, look nice at formal events, and look the other way when your husband cheats on you like his life depends on it, sometimes under not-so-consensual circumstances.
Not conducive to a close relationship, I'd imagine.
There's an army of strawmen out there who called any criticism of anything Obama-related racist, dontcha know. We just didn't see it. Happened when we weren't looking. But now anyone who criticizes Trump must answer for their straw-crimes.
This. It's one of the nasty little secrets of most (or maybe even all?) societies that the public subsidizes the hell out of the trucking industry. Also note that the fossil fuels sold at gas stations get shipped via truck.
...and immediately get arrested. Just like you can walk out of jail any time you like. There are guards waiting to stop you, but that's beside the point, right?
Nothing's changed, Assange is still practically incarcerated indefinitely under threat of being extradited to the US, just how the US government wants it. This sets an example for other whistleblowers, blow the whistle and we will lock you up forever, if not in an actual prison then in an embassy if you're lucky. First there were the rape charges, then there are the failure to appear in court charges, next it'll be violating a housing code or something.

You're making about twice as much as the average millennial. However, you didn't mention how much student debt you were carrying, which is a major factor.
Any other questions?

Indeed, fake leak-ransom attempts usually pay off, this was an exception.

This requires a UBT (Universal Bar Tab).

It's all good once he doesn't do the leaking through an unclassified email server. Email security is serious business.

A better example would be all the zero-rating that ISPs and cellular carriers have already done. A much better example.

It should be both. Government incompetence at accounting for global warming. Without one or the other there would be no problem.
