Labour is no different from anything else that is sold and bought for money. All of this outrage directed at businesses that are doing whatever they need to minimize costs and nobody here is outraged if they can find a cheaper deal in a store.
You are trying to minimize your daily expenses as well, so instead of eating at a fancy restaurant every day, you can eat something from a hot dog stand. Of course the restaurant owners are outraged: everybody needs to be forced to become a licensed restaurant to sell any food, nobody should be allowed to buy food not cooked by a licensed restaurant. That would be great for some restaurants.
It would be horrible for people who want to eat and don't want the expense of a fine restaurant. It would be horrible for the economy, as more and more people would be forced to go hungry.
Of-course it would also create a healthy underground black market for hotdogs.
Today the poverty is institutional and the reasons for it are systemic. Poor people are poor due to the system that discourages savings, encourages consumption spending, discourages production, encourages borrowing for consumption, discourages a healthy return on a productive investment, encourages creation of fake money for consumption debt by pretending that the collective government can actually cover the losses in case of malinvestment.
All of this was made possible by the Keynesian charlatans, who are in the position to dictate their nonsensical views upon the economy in a political system that benefits from this complete nonsense. The political system benefits from it because the voting majority makes a short term rational decision to vote itself a subsidy at the expense of the people with more productive means. The collection is dine via the violence of the State.
The long term consequence of this led to consumption binge on the State level that created a permanent class of welfare recipients on both, the personal and the corporate sides.
The corporate welfare is in all the government contracts and government created and maintained monopolies, this includes the military industrial complex, big food, big utilities, big banking, big anything that gains from government regulations that destroy competition either directly or indirectly (laws or taxes and inflation for example).
The personal welfare created a permanent voting block on whatever side of the so called political spectrum, with the majority of the voters expecting the politicians to provide economic benefit to some at the expense of others.
The system will reset once the further borrowing becomes impossible and the bond holders that currently subsidise this system decide that their money can better be used (and be safer) elsewhere.
There will be a very large reset before the next POTUS leaves the white house.
A 'functioning democracy' is organized crime whose methods are based on the collectivist government acting as the thugs, muscles to steal and 'share' the loot. Theft is masked under the guise of legality of the state, supported by the desire for this theft by the vast majority and the majority votes for it because though it also seemingly pays this tribute, the reality is that the majority votes itself a sweet deal, where it is heavily subsidized by the minority, who are actually robbed, stoleb from, to provide this vast subsidy.
This 'functioning democracy' is a thieving, gangster, racketeering society and the irony of your statement is that USA used to be that 'somalia' that you keep bringing up.
USA was the Somalia that people escaped to from their racketeering societies. Somalia, on the other hand, is not 'somalia' at all. It has just enough governments to make your head spin. It has nothing to do with anarchy but instead everything to do with the war that the local population had to fight to rid itself of even bigger governments that ruled it throughout the century.
Oh, so this is theft and actual violent removal of private property by the state under the name of 'taxation' is not theft? The actual theft happens when the violent means of a state are used to forcefully take property of a person or his business regardless of what the name is. A rose by any other name... Ireland is the best thing that happened in this insane world.
Yeah, they're perfectly free to go back to dire poverty and hunger if they want.
- correct, the key word in your sentence being *back*. Back is where they would have to go in order to get away from these 'horrible companies' that are giving them something they never had before - a choice of not going back, from where they came.
I guess they are making their own choices every day regardless of what you think they should do.
No one is holding a gun to their heads to force them to feed their kids and have basic shelter.
- precisely, nobody is forcing them to eat and to feed their kids. They are choosing to do so by working for the companies that are offering them these jobs. They can go *back* of-course, back from whence they came.
'Most nations' do all sorts of crazy shit (and so does the USA) however drug ads to me are not different from shoe or car or food ads, drugs are a business, the only problem is government involvement, be it fda or medicare or medicaid or any form of government taxation and spending on anything related to healthcare or any form of business regulation beyond fraud. Ads are fine.
The moment any one of my shops unionize is the moment they will be shut down and their jobs moved to another one (in a different country by the way). Running modern day business is being prepared for this type of crap.
Let me interject here as a business owner who hires developers to build the services sold to other businesses. So let me get this straight, you are going to prevent me from hiring whoever I want to do development and will further raise my costs? I already outsource 75% of my development work to Ukrainian developers. This will simply further increase this percentage to maybe 95% or what the hell, why not 100%?
Who is 'we' and why would you be concerned what a company wants to do if they are doing it with their own money? If they are able to turn a profit doing it, it stands to reason that 'we' *want* it.
In other news the American recovery is strong, inflation is low and unemployment is down, report various government and 'independent' sources. Vote Hillary, she is like Obama (if Obama wore a skirt... Sorry, pant suit..) These 20000 will only reduce the net unemployment numbers once they are no longer with Cisco but instead are working 2-3 service sector jobs, serving coffee in the morning, greeting at your local Walmart.... Or maybe digging and filling up government ditches, since even coffee shops and Walmart jobs are getting cut. Why don't we all just continue voting collectivist, be it fascist or socialist, it worked so great up until now?
Or maybe people should try something novelle this time, like a little freedom from government "helping everybody".
none of this is relevant until we get away from batteries and instead come up with a tiny nuclear power plant that fits under the hood of a car and provides enough juice to drive it for a decade or more.
We need tiny nuclear / thermonuclear reactors. Government needs to be restrained and individuals must be freed so that we can invent in peace.
Multi purpose table columns. Data base tables with columns that are used as references to fields in multiple tables depending on the context of the record (maybe on the record type).
It's ugly and in some cases it makes sense to reduce number of possible references that would have been created otherwise. I do not recommend it but it can be effective.
Except that mdsolar is not a/. reader, he is a/. propagandist for a specific industry.
I want my nuclear powered car, a nuclear powered house and a nuclear powered business. I want nuclear and/or thermonuclear. I want a tiny nuclear reactor that I can buy and use gormy own purposes regardless of any government or any lobby group and of any popular sentiment and perception.
Turn over: no. Decrypt: no. Fixed that for you. Nobody should turn anything over to any government. Government is the enemy of the people, you all should learn this simple fact.
FBI and American court system is trying hard to protect the last remnants of a failed economy that USA is running. Left without production, manufacturing sectors, latest economic numbers showing that even the service sector jobs are disappearing the American court system and various agencies are trying their best to protect whatever is left to protect out of the old glory days of American productivity. When nothing is left, the only thing that matters is protecting the remaining crust of the former pie with all the weaponry available, that's what you are observing here.
You are technically cotrect, but you are not politically correct and the only thing that counts anymore is being politically correct.
If being technically correct counted then at least in the USA there wouldn't be any of the things that governments (federal, state, municipal) have been doing for over a hundred years.
Sherman act is also theft and also unconstitutional technically. Politically it became very much tenable though.
IRS seizing individual property, Federal reserve bank buying up any bad debt and manipulating the money supply and interest rates, States using paper and not gold as money, gold confiscation in the thirties, government 'jobs' programs, payroll and income taxes, inheritance and gift taxes, welfare used to buy the support of the voting majority by stealing from a voting minority by setting up a graduated tax system, government mandated products and services (insurances of all kinds), IFDS pretending to provide a 'guarantee' to clients of banks with the backing of the printing presses and taxes, going to wars without declaring then in Congress first, preventing certain people from employment by requiring minimum level of ability (minimum wage), all business laws that require licensing of any kind, stealing property under so called 'eminent domain', forcing government education system via taxes and mandates, etc. etc. etc.
None of those things are technically correct, the only thing that matters is political correctness.
Sure, all good, as long as you are the one paying for it. Count me out. Government collects taxes illegally and the taxes it collects are illegal. There shouldn't be any income and wealth related taxes.
The only legal taxes are direct apportioned and excise taxes, all other forms of taxes collected by Federal government is usurpation of power, oppression of the individual, destruction of individual freedom and of-course violation of property rights.
I don't even understand what they are talking about, 12000 movies. What kind of movies that is? I have some movies that fit in around 600-700MB. Say a GB to make it round enough.
60TB is 60000GB, so that would be over 60,000 movies, not 12,000.
As to photos, a high quality picture is 5MB or so (unless it's some professional level stuff, then it could be many times that). 200 of 5MB fit into a GB, we are talking 60000GB * 200, that's 12,000,000 pictures, not 400,000,000
None of this makes any sense regardless of what site it is reported on.
All income and wealth related taxes are disproportionately impacting freedom, that's what they are impacting.
There shouldn't be such a thing as an income tax, wealth tax, however excise taxes, tariffs, capitation taxes can be used to fund whatever government activity, and if the taxes collected cannot be used to fund all government activities, then it is the government activity that needs to stop. Government should live within the means of excise, tariff and capitation taxes proportionately collected from States.
Tobias was charged with violating the Statistics Act, but eventually acquitted.
- so that's the actual problem, that there is such a thing as a 'Statistics Act'. Government has usurped the power over the people and is punishing them for not complying with the demand to be counted for whatever purposes are listed there.
AFAIC Canadian people are not Free People and the Canadian government is an oppressive regime.
As to this new idea of demanding that the federal data is kept within national borders, that's just another way to usurp power by the government and to create more controls and to steal more money from the private sector.
If they are built through the theft and usurpation of power rather than because they increased efficiency in the free market selling access to the private road, then yes.
What is it exactly, that a business supposedly takes from society that it has to 'give back'? Businesses build society, without businesses there is no society. Society should stop robbing businesses.

I use it every single day as a firewall, web server, load balancer for a number of different installations. Loving it.
