...except it's not income. The idea that loan forgiveness is treated as income is just obscene. This stuff happens because people are insolvent. They are by definition unable to pay. So it just adds insult to injury.
One of those little practical problems that your saviors in politics tend to miss out entirely on and never mention.
No. We just realize that the money has to come from somewhere. The ultra-wealthy are a poor target because they can defend themselves. That leaves the rest of us.
Once you've been around the block once or twice, the mere promise of rainbow ponies isn't enough anymore.
Except they were already perfectly safe where they came from. They were already in refugee camps in a Muslim country. There was really no reason for them to make a dangerous water crossing and then wander all over a continent with different religious and political values.
This seems like a problem best dealt closest to "home".
Being able to live together in the same appartment bloc with Turks or Germans would be an obvious good start. It's really hard to relate to this stuff if you've never actually been there or don't know anyone that's actually seeing this stuff on the ground.
And yes, a certain part of it is being willing to assimilate.
Although it helps if bleeding hearts don't overdo it by refusing to think with their heads.
Quit blaming us for your own clear inability to get along with each other. You are barbarians stuck in a highly sectarian backwater. If you don't have some brutal tyrant keeping you in line, you start killing each other. Even if you manage something resembling modern democracy, you will immediately start to abuse each other.
You can't blame the West for the fact that you hate and kill each other. You also can't blame the West for the fact that the only kind of government that works for you is subjugation by a brutal warlord.
Contrary to popular opinion among SJWs, all evils in the world are not perpetrated by the United States. There are plenty of other idiots in the world willing to destroy themselves or their neighbors. The Middle East is the perfect example of this.
Whining about the US or Europe when it comes to the Middle East is a big fat red herring.
You mean that people should have their rights stripped on a whim?
This is something that both sides of the political spectrum seem far too eager to do. It seems like a handy way to deprive your political enemies of any sort of voice.
Liberals do tend to be more eager to suppress politically relevant speech. They will censor you and then smugly declare it was all for the greater good. They don't like being contradicted and especially can't handle being contradicted in a competent fashion.
> I will bet $1000 that if there is a hate group attacking you or your loved ones.
Are you trying to conflate speech with assault and battery?
If you are then you're a moron. They are quite different from each other and breach an important legal and moral barrier. They are not remotely the same thing.
Even things like harassment, stalking, and libel aren't the same.
When speaking of ethics or the law, all of the little details matter.
That is bullshit. It's bullshit used as an excuse to engage in things contrary to our founding ideals. The Bill of Rights aren't just law, but they are a good idea that reflect basic expectations of liberty inherent to all of humanity.
The law is not meant an excuse to be fascist jackass to your fellow man.
The moment you set yourself up as petty dictator who gets to decide what heresy is illegal, you are enabling the very thing you claim to be afraid of. You have become exactly what you claim to be fighting against.
It's also not useful to hide "problems". All you ultimately do is kid yourself into thinking they don't exist. You never actually solve them.
> Infringing on his right to make money? Things that are not rights for $1000 Alex.
An obvious liberal.
Our rights are nearly boundless. It's the powers of government that are limited. Our constitution is a set of limitations on government, not a comprehensive list of rights granted to us by that same government.
> Many people hear the word 'bankrupt' and immediately associate it with 'financially irresponsible'.
A big part of the "unfair advantage" that the rich have is in not being stuck in such a pedestrian mindset. They understand how the system works and how to take advantage of it. This is above and beyond whatever "stake" or "advantage" they may start out with.
They are simply devoid of many of the bad ideas that keep the brother down.
No, the invisible hand would be Amazon not stocking these items because they don't sell.
The fact that a bunch of whiny crybabies want to deprive some manufacturer of his rights has nothing to do with the "invisible hand". The invisible hand doesn't need petitions. It just sweeps players aside on it's own.
This is a bunch of people that can't handle the fact that the market isn't conforming to their pet political agenda. That is why they want a particular person shunned as if the US were some sort of cult (or Europe).
As a simple matter of random chance, it has to be possible for someone to look good in an off the rack suit. Just because you obviously can't doesn't mean that it's impossible.
You're just jealous that a freak like me can wear a cheap suit from the Mall and look better than you when you're blowing all kinds of money trying.
Although bearing makes up for a lot regardless of what you are wearing. Some of us have it and some of us clearly don't. '-p
...sounds like a classic case of "treating the number" rather than the disease. This leads to overdiagnosis of any number of things in the US. The relevant question isn't "how many doctors do you have" but how long to you have to wait to be seen?
When you can see a specialist the next day, even on a weekend, then there's probably not a shortage.
Hiroshima and Nagasaki are not at all remarkable in terms of destruction. The Allies leveled the whole of Germany and Japan during WWII. If you only fixate on two cities, then you are belittling the entire rest of the war.
Also, you are belittling the Japanese. They are not a nation to be trivialized and that's exactly what you doing when you try to claim that we could do anything short of everything we could.
That's silly? Why would only Republicans believe in something basic like supply in demand. NOBODY works for free. Do you? Then why do you expect a doctor too, or a nurse, or an orderly?
If there isn't some reasonable expectation that they're going to get PAID, they aren't going to do diddly for you. That's why there's a Junior Doctor's strike brewing in the NHS.
Stuff isn't going to be made for you to leech off of if someone can't get rich off it first. Progress needs greed to feed on. This is why the Soviet Union collapsed and China backed off of total socialism.
It's not. People intentionally confuse billing rates with amounts that are actually paid.
We also don't run the system at "100% load". There's some slack in the system that allows for timely medical care that often isn't possible in countries with "better medical care".
If you are just harvesting organs, you don't need any more skill than the average butcher. Although you probably do need to maintain some serious discipline regarding contamination of the organs. Again, the "surgical skills" are just the tip of the iceberg and are really aren't the main problem.
No. The problem with bash is not bash itself but the fact that it takes most of it's features from the underlying userland and THAT varies from Unix to Unix.
Your fixation with Python is itself an ancient relic that doesn't exactly match the year you're trying to post to.

It's a good enough story. My Linux Steam catalog is over 200G. I can only imaging how big an old legacy Windows account with tons of AAA games is.

Too true. Although now I have to go back and laugh at the people that have been using this buzzword. Some of them are such posers.
That's funny because the "scientists" had to change their terminology.

...that's because Powershell is more of an environment for Windows C programmers, whereas bash is just a user's interface.
