No, what is obvious is that you are not looking at their position objectively. Step away from it, look at it as if you were studying a new bug, not something that you immediately agree with because of some combination of key words that pull your strings.
Grassroots democracy = a ruse, included to divert attention from the authoritarian nature of the ideology.
*Social justice = central planning and restriction if not abolition of private property rights.
*Ecological wisdom = central planning and restriction if not abolition of private property rights.
Nonviolence -? Fucking nonsense. You can't have that and then combine it with the rest of this, you have to use violence to enforce your views upon individuals.
Decentralization - a ruse. Hyper centralization, restriction and abolition of individual rights.
Feminism = unequal application of law based on gender or sex or whatever their current religion states. State religion, incompatible with individual freedoms, restriction and/or abolition of property rights.
Respect for diversity = unequal application of law, etc., similar to the violence needed to enforce the religion of feminism.
Global responsibility = central planning and restriction if not abolition of private property rights.
Future focus - meaningless drivel aimed at more centralization.
In no way can left-libertarian concepts be applied to the greens at all, you are deluding yourself. Green party demands restriction on private property rights, its position is authoritarian in natures as it wants to prevent private owners from operating their property the way they see fit. Don't bullshit here, libertarianism and greens are incompatible in nature. Greens are a 'social-justice' group and a central planning group. Those are incompatible with self-governance.
So if they have a phone in game that can make actual calls, it can do other stuff, like play games... I guess it's time for "Yo Dawg, I herd you like to minecraft, so I put an minecraft in your minecraft so you can minecraft while you minecraft."
The greens? They are a very thinly veiled socialist, hell bent on destroying private property rights. They are supremely authoritarian, what is your question actually?
Actually socialists are always authoritarian, so are fascists and all other types of collectivists. What is happening is that this authoritarian regime is now creating laws that are not only about stealing money from employers and generally wealthier people to subsidise the desires of the mob but now the new usurpation of power touches the mob as well.
What an hour diotic statement! Capitalism is private ownership and operation of property. This is not about capitalism, this is about lack of freedom - central planning and oppression of the individual by the collective. The OP is feeling the oppression by the government and cannot do anything about it not because of capitalism but very specifically but cause of usurpation of power by the government. In the USA there is such a thing as 'Constitution' and it enumerates the power of the State. It does not enumerate the power to force a citizen to buy a product or a service. It does not enumerate the power to mandate anything from individuals or their businesses even! Yet all of this is happening because people are morons and will vote for any collectivist who promises to steal from those with more money and to give to them. But this theft cannot pass the Constitutionally enumerated powers of the government, so judges and politicians work together to declare it Constitutional and politicians push laws that the mob voted them on creating the precedent. A few cases and laws later and government can dictate anything to anybody and the Constitution is out the window and the mob cheers for it.
Of course at the end the freedoms are destroyed and some moron complains about capitalism.
You missed the point of Asimov's robot stories. The laws are in insufficient and don't work IRL. Also corporations exist first of all to enrich the owners and shareholders, all other functions are tangential to that goal.
You want this behaviour (patent trolling) actually to stop? The only thing that is required and that can work is to ban government from setting rules. All patent and copyright laws need to be abolished.
I was learning from a book. It's an item made of paper, it is of a rectangular shape with multiple pieces of paper of the same shape connected together in such a manner, that one can flip any piece of paper to look at either side of it and to move on to another piece of paper. On this paper there were various letters (similar to letters you would find in any online ad today) and also drawings. These letters and drawings were arranged in such a manner as to allow a person looking at them to sequentially retrieve pieces of information. The information retrieved from such a contraption was in a number of ways similar to what one can retrieve today by loading a page from any Wordpress site (or possibly even a Wiki site). Of-course on paper the hyperlinking could not be implemented in a feasible manner, so instead of clickable links there were textual references to other sources and that was definitely a shortcoming. On the other hand ad banners and kitty porn wasn't sprinkled throughout the pieces of paper (pages) and so it was easier to concentrate on the task of information retrieval.
Free people wouldn't let the collective tell them how they must get paid for work they do, in cash or favours.
No employer overpays for labour, what this nonsense is, is just another case of government getting in the middle of two people, preventing them from agreeing on the terms of exchange.
I still would want to talk to the guy, but if we are going to choose people who we don't even know who they are then I choose to talk to the guy who first came up with the wheel.
On the other hand I would want to talk to Archimedes, his work on the catapults is of great interest to me, I would like to use one of his inventions to catapult this site.
My answer to this is very simple actually, if there is no business case to go to Mars I don't want any government stealing money from people to go to Mars because at that point it is all it is: theft.
Eventually a business case for Mars may become real and then businesses will find a way to get there. Today it is likely not the case at all that there is any sort of ROI on going to Mars except for raising spirits of those, who want to see it happen.
Well, if the people who WANT to see it happen actually PAY for it by BUYING bonds that would pay for it, then a private business can do it without government! That's because a private business can print bonds that can be sold (tentatively) to people and if enough money is raised then actually collect the money and start building.
To do it otherwise is to steal, but that's nothing new, that's what all governments always do.
One of the benefits and reasons why we build Linux based systems for retail chain management, store management, supply chain management, e-commerce and such is ability to secure against these types of attacks better. Beyond that we came up with a new way of protecting credit card information by tying it to the location of the user's phone, but we are not a nominal 'fintech' and those guys are too hard to approach (for now at least).
The newspaper is not in business of selling actual products, it's in business of selling ad views. But would you rather see them not give people this choice and just shut down all unpaid accounts and forced everybody who reads them to pay? I think they know what they are doing a bit better than you.
Well, not all companies do that, some base their business model around personal security, for example numbered bank accounts are designed on purpose not to let authorities (or anybody) know who is the owner if the account. Bearer certificates have the same purpose actually, they are like cash in that regard.
Now, governments fight against such very important individual freedoms of-course. Governments destroy personal freedoms much more than any company ever could.
Fucking piece of shit collectivists like you is the problem in America, why don't YOU go somewhere more socialist, more collectivist already? There are PLENTY of those place, vast MAJORITY of this planet is to your liking. USA is supposed to be individualistic, anti-collectivist, anti-socialist, anti-government, anarchist even. Anarcho-capitalism, true freedom, libertarianism, objectivism are the principles that the USA is SUPPOSED to be based on and instead USA is now just another collectivist half fascist half socialist failed State specifically because of complete piece of shit asswipes like you, who want to turn every piece of land on this planet into a collectivist nightmare that free individuals are horrified at.
Do everybody a favour and leave, go to France, go to Japan, go to Italy, go to Spain, go to Brazil, go to Australia FFS, go to whatever. If pieces of shit, collectivist socialist fascist garbage like you left the country that is supposed to be anti-establishment, anti-collectivism, anti-socialism, anti-Marxism then you would get exactly what you desire and the country would return to its roots, what it is supposed to be - a country that fought a war against a king over taxation. A country where people used to come to not for welfare or Big Brother state but for freedom. Freedom FROM THE COLLECTIVE, Freedom FROM THE GOVERNMENT, Freedom FROM THE OPPRESSION.
You forgot something. A Manhattan DA is going after a California based company that manufactures in China and has assets around the world on the premise that the terrorist attacks in France could have been stopped somehow because:
French police found an unencrypted, unlocked phone in a trash bin outside the Bataclan concert hall in Paris that contained a text sent in the clear: âoeOn est parti on commence.â (âoeLetâ(TM)s go, weâ(TM)re startingâ).
You see, now not only encryption will be banned by governments but also the following combination of words: On est parti on commence. and its equivalents in other languages.
I, however, suspect that the above message could have been sent in a multitude of different ways that the Manhattan DA also needs to attempt banning. For example I can see how the following string can be used with the same result: * let's do it * do it now * the time is now * we are doing it * starting it * time 0 * the chicken is in the pot * blah habl blah kk erq[][]
Once the Manhattan DA is done banning the above, then we will all be safe.
The following is part of the title from the video:
President Obama promotes the myth that everyone must go to college. That if you don't go, your life will be ruined -- that you will end up waiting tables, or trapped in some other mundane occupation. The truth is, even with a college degree, you may still end up waiting tables, you'll just begin your "career" four or five years later, tens of thousands of dollars in debt.
Here is an example of some of the plumb jobs college grads were able to land during the Obama administration. Not just liberal arts majors mind you, but graduates with degrees in mathematics, robotics, neuroscience, engineering, accounting, business administration, economics, biology, communications, graphic design, marketing, and linguistics.
Of course when it comes to education, it's not just the Obama administration that deserves a failing grade. For years, politicians of both parties have pandered to students by promising more aid in the form of direct or subsidized student loans. As a result, colleges and universities are freed from competitive forces that would otherwise keep tuition low. Easy access to cheap credit enables students to bid up tuition, benefiting the educational establishment at their expense. Politicians secure student's votes by promising relief from skyrocketing tuition by providing even more loans. Ironically, the loans themselves are the very reason tuition is so high in the first place.
Before the Federal Government got involved, college degrees were much more affordable, and ambitious students from poorer families could easily work their way through. In addition, as fewer high school graduates actually went on to college, not only were college degrees much less expensive to obtain, they were far more valuable to have. With so many high school grads now going on to college, a college degree is actually less valuable in today's job market, despite its inflated price tag, than was a high school diploma in the 1950s. The only solution is to get the Federal Government completely out of higher education, and let the free market fix what the government broke!
For those of you who feel a college degree is essential to financial success consider John D Rockefeller, Andrew Carnegie and Cornelius Vanderbilt. Rockefeller dropped out of high school and began working full-time at age 16. Carnegie didn't even go to high school and began working full-time at age 13. Vanderbilt dropped out of school at age 11, and by age 16 had started his own ferry business. All three were born poor and became self-made billionaires, who attained estimated net worths (in today's dollars) of approximately $670, $300. and $175 billion respectively. To put those numbers into perspective, the richest living American, Bill Gates, who dropped out of Harvard during his sophomore year, has an estimated net worth of just $65 billion.
Send me an email, I have a retail chain management solution, a single store management system as part of it, supply chain management, e-commerce built into brick and mortar management system at this point even auto ordering. Java and PostgreSQL.
I saw this flick about some jihadists buying a nuclear bomb to blow it up and cause problems for the Americans and their president, but Arnold flies a plane and shoots the main bad jihad guy with a rocket.
Baby boomers are the ones getting the net jobs in all of the atest employment numbers. The people are coming out of retirement thanks to the inflation created by the fed ( money printing and 0% interest rates).
All of the job gains went to people 55 and over. Between 24 and 55, 35000 jobs were lost. Men age 24-55 lost 119000 jobs.
The only people who are getting jobs are 55 and older and some women 24-55 years old.
You are giving the guy a magic wand and you are asking what technological change he would wish for??? Well....... this is/. of-course, but a normal guy would probably wish for infinite supply of hot women throwing themselves at him whenever he wishes for it, while enjoying an infinite lifespan fixed at some youngish biological age and a nice steady flow of free money. With that he can do whatever he wants to whatever technology he wishes.
