Usually, roads are built by the company that puts in new housing divisions. After all, it is hard to sell a house that has no road in front of it.
The cost of the road is part of the house list price. So the property owners didn't wield the shovels, but they own the road more so than some dope following a phone app does.
So Reuters is pro-Trump then, for informing us of this:
As evidence of what they say is Curiel's bias, Trump and some of his supporters have pointed to the judge's membership in La Raza Lawyers of San Diego, a local group for Hispanic lawyers that is affiliated with the Hispanic National Bar Association.
(Emphasis mine.)
Please help me clarify which group of La Raza the judge belongs to.
The first amendment begins "Congress shall make no law..."
Neither buzzfeed nor Facebook are Congress, obviously. Private businesses are free to publish or not publish whatever they wish..
So I, as the owner of a private business, could post messages on the website of my place of business about the inferiority of various races, and the fact that women don't belong in the work place taking jobs away from men who have families to feed.
Thanks for letting me know about this. I'll get right on it.
I didn't mention "costs" at all. Maybe you need to have your eyes checked. I mentioned "paying", which is not the same thing.
As to what kind of person I am, shallow or otherwise, I'm not the one complaining because a free service is not working as well as I would like. I could if I wanted to, with other free services online, some of which don't work well. Instead, I find other services that suit my needs, rather than posting drivel on/. about ads being the same as paying.
Understaffed hospitals can't cope with a mass influx of patients. Big deal.
Understaffed by legal mandate. Which is what I was replying to. I thought that was pretty clear.
Do you really think the US will do better where doctors are already working 16 hour days?
What is the highest death rate from a heat wave in the US? Not nearly 14,000. So, yes, the US does do it better.
What are you going to do? Tell them to work 30 hour days? At least in France they can declare some sort of "state of emergency" and double the number of working doctors.
Except that France specifically could not and did not do that. So, your argument is almost convincing, except that it was proven incorrect by reality.
Stop trying to score political points for "your side" and accept the fact that labor laws sometimes have tragic unforeseen consequences.
Why does the strawman pop up in every single internet discussion? Have you considered the possibility that I might have a moderate opinion on labor laws or are you too ignorant to care?
Sorry. I misunderstood your complete refusal to think about this situation on its own merits as evidence that you had an agenda to push.
Are you incapable of finding other articles about the heat wave? Or do you think I was just looking for articles on french doctors and stumbled on that one? I was reading the news as it was happening, and talking with people here on slashdot about it Look at what the death rate was in other countries with everything similar except for labor/vacation laws. Air conditioning use wasn't what kept the numbers down in Germany or Belgium.
The reason so many died is that there was almost no medical care for the heat victims. Half the doctors were on their mandatory vacation for one month, and the other half did their 35 hours from Monday to Wednesday, then went home for four days. As the law required. The nurses could only do so much without doctors present. There were corpses filling the hospital corridors from the people who went there for treatment.That's where many of those old people died, not sitting at home.
After the month was over the one group of doctors came home from vacation, and the other half went on their vacation. So again, the patients had no doctors for half the week for another month.
There were a major investigation into why the government ministers didn't use emergency measures to pull at least some of the doctors home from vacation, or prevent the second group from going on theirs. But vacation time and limits on hours worked are so ingrained in their workers that nothing was done when needed.
Again, I was following this story at the time it was happening. Stop trying to score political points for "your side" and accept the fact that labor laws sometimes have tragic unforeseen consequences.
Perhaps you misunderstood the part where gwehir said "I know, for example, of a PhD Lawyer that lost his PhD". The reason he lost it is not the claim he was refuting. It was whether colleges or universities can and do revoke degrees.
You say this as if they are going to engineer a human being in our lifetime. Maybe your naturally conceived grand children can use your "Popcorn stock" before they die of old age at 400+ years old,but I don't think even they will see the glorious immaculate conception you are hoping for..
You need to read more science fiction if that is the plot of "every other SF book" you know. Most of the science fiction books I read have people who do things that are part of science, and don't get picked on at all.
Don't forget we had also just destroyed most of the infrastructure of two continents. Shall we do that over so you can have a chance to change how people lived?

Idiots are spread fairly evenly across the entire political spectrum. If you can't see this for yourself, I have a good explanation of why.
You are a disgusting hypocrite.
So, the poor Irish Americans shoot other poor Irish Americans a lot, do they?
I would gladly give up some of my constitutional freedoms if it keeps the fucktard nutcases out.
Including the Second Amendment?

What? Crickets don't buy firearms. What a stupid idea.
It worked well for Obama.
Twice.
AC, you are spectacularly bad at composing analogies.
Really. He didn't even mention your car. How can you have an analogy without a car?
It's all about you, isn't it?
The funny part is when you grow up a little more, you will have the exact opposite viewpoint when it comes to these things.

You mean the judge that's a member of La Raza, the racist organization of Mexicans who hate white people?

If you aren't giving money or physical items to Google, you are not paying them for anything.

Do they kill 14,000 in a month from falling asleep?

Are doctors exempt?
No, they aren't. And people die because of it, along with their mandatory vacation time..

You're a genius. If the woman doesn't want a child, why does she let a man come inside her vagina? She's not a fucking rocket scientist either.
You're so evil. :^P

While that is a valid point, that wasn't the point that religionofpeas was basing his argument on.
