You really don't understand how state pensions work. I, for one, used to have one (I cashed my non-vested money out when I quit my job because I don't trust Illinois). You pay into it instead of Social Security (My share was 8% at the time). That money is supposed to be invested and earn a return. The state government has been robbing that money for years (yes, for the "general fund") - so not only is it not earning dividends, it's losing value to inflation.
And then the state governor blames the people that paid into the pension for being "greedy" when the reality is that it was always supposed to be a separate, completely solvent fund. No, there are a few cherry-picked outliers, but the reality is that the money is gone because of state mismanagement, not because of the people who paid a large share of their paycheck into it for decades.
Not that I believe it really happened, but there might be a strong interest globally in pretending it never happened. For one, it is probably the best retaliation against NK.
Scheduling, set up time (for TV crews), travel, etc. It may not take all your available working time, but it takes a lot more than 2 hours each. Not to mention that 2 hours each * 140 interviews is already 7 weeks of full-time work out of 52.
The only legal standing for loaning books is the first sale doctrine, except in cases where alternate licensing agreements are made with a publisher. Combine that with fair-use rights to format shifting under copyright law (scanning the book and making an eBook edition). That means you could loan out a single copy of an ebook for every physical copy owned, provided that the physical copy isn't being loaned out at the same time. Something tells me they're not doing this.
A library license (paid to the publisher/author typically by the government in recognition of the public good a library does) is a payment that's considerably higher than one single copy would be.

In the US, library books work like movie rentals. The First Sale Doctrine applies. No royalties are required to pass around an item of property - even a copyrighted one. So long as no copies are made and there is only one person in possession of the item at a time.
There are library-specific editions made available for books, but they really just have more durable binding. Libraries are not required to buy these books in order to be eligible to loan them out.
If there was a failed nuclear strike from NK and you were a military leader, would you tell the commander-in-chief? I would expect a fair bit of mutiny for any intelligent patriot in order to save the world.
Something tells me this isn't the first missile we've neutralized (shooting down a missile that has no chance of reaching the US is just good defense practice). But to retaliate means to acknowledge it. Pretending it never happened would be a huge blow to KJU's ego. All of this is wild speculation, of course.
Its ok to promise 100% employment and low taxes but if you don't deliver you forfeit your salary, go to jail, banned from holding a government position
This is not what you vote for. You vote for people who know how to make informed decisions, and you trust them when they get into office because they have access to way more information and resources than you do. If that doesn't work, the problem is your candidate. Campaign promises should not exist outside of general statements.
Because those platform issues don't even matter in most day to day governing. None of those help you create a balanced budget. None of those help the two parties cooperate - in fact, it just further divides everything on party lines.
There are also now alternatives to people who don't really even need a PC. Which is a lot more people than most of us would like to admit. And unfortunately, that means the PC market is shrinking and our prices are going to go up.
There has to be some sort of balance somewhere. At the counter, it's a blank stare. At the drive through, it's a 1.5 minute pre-recorded message before you can order.

You're confusing that with Google Wave...er...I mean Google TiSP
and since we need a shortcut we'll use Ctrl+D so it will be easy.
Yo dawg, I heard you like shortcuts so I made the shortcut the same button that makes shortcuts (bookmarks).

And unlike a physical book that has the first sale doctrine behind its loaning, publishers can encumber a digital license all they want.
Seems like they want it both ways depending on the use.
Seems like if they're going to take the risk, they want the reward too. I see no conflict there.

Paying taxes is a social contract. If you don't agree to the terms of the contract, please leave society.

Or, this was real but neutralized and then disavowed with a cover story.
I'm pretty sure the feds wouldn't send a nationwide alert for a localized threat. Initiating mass panic is dangerous enough over a small area.

Parents see that followed by a virus warning. They install fake security software and then pay up.
Some clear gaming of search algorithms here.

Redefining what term? I'm pretty sure if we go back 5 years, the definition is a lot closer to what I said.
Now, can you explain to me why the term is being redefined as an insult? It doesn't make sense.

It is different. I'm pretty sure restaurant service operates on UDP.
If there's a chance someone is listening, then it's not silly to say thank you. In this case, someone was actually listening.
Leaky pipes? Dripping faucets? It adds up.
