I agree. Not everyone likes dragons and swords and spells and faeries... fantasy is crap to some... space western and post apocqalypse are my fav themes. SWG was nice but I've learned to avoid MMORPG... it will be nice to watch others play, though.
You're full of it. As a government contractor I was able to achieve what was required by contract in under 3 hours a day. I made way more than direct employees of the same job and about 4x what I made in the military doing far more work.
Lol...triple productivity... apparently you don't work for lockheed or caci. Where is it that you work again?
I would argue that desite not outright saying the Metaverse in snowcrash was paid monthly, it probably was. The reality in the novel depicts a free market capitalist "utopia" where everything is owned and licensed and paid for. Nothing in that world escapes ownership and associated costs for access.
I should remind you that the media over-exaggerated a couple changes in opinion that Kerry had, one being excusabole in that he became more informed about the war and decided not to continue (for, then against).
If you go on youtube you can find video evidence of McCain directly contradicting himself on numerous topics and occasions preceding the 2008 election. No point was made at all, despite him flipflopping on at least 4x more things.
Major media is blatantly in bed with politics. It is a discredit to truth to reference their manipulative b.s. in any sense that it is real.

On another note: trickle down has NEVER worked and history shows that the economy thrives when benefit/money/wealth is in the hands of many. FDR and JFK would be labeled communists in todays political bullshittery, but their social programs spurred boons and beneficence felt by so many that they are heralded today as our greatest presidents. Republicans often give them credit, but fail to recognize why they were great.
The appropriate response is to counsel the employee about perceived work concerns and ask him/her to make changes to prevent termination. Then keep doing the passive monitoring (or using more precise monitoring that you got VOLUNTARY agreement from the subject to use) and see if things change. If performance remains low or the subject is still showing signs of malingering, terminate employment.
Respect and communication is far more ideal that going behind and literally creeping on people. If they underperform, replace them; no need to drag it into an example setting situation or unethical relationship.
I should point out (lacking links to slashdot stories because I'm on a phone) that the scientists DID predict the earthquake, but were somethinglike 2 weeks early... they partially evacuated, and in under 2 weeks the authorities initiated "yelling fire in a theater" type charges against the scientists. Once those charges were made in haste, the actual earthquake came and people died.
From what I can deduce; authorities are blame shifting the damages that arose by hastily saying the scientists were wrong instead of admitting that they were right all along (albeit with imperfect prediction).
To be clear, most to all Starz titles are A-list movies, more likely to have high production quality and good actors and directors, etc. When netflix has only 5-10% of its titles fitting that quality (most far below and unheard of crap), people worry about the loss being quite significant.... I'm talking streaming of course... the DVDservice has lots of good titles.
The data presented in wikipedia is not robust or in any way representative of actual inflation. I urge you to examine Elizabeth Warren's analysis of the middle class and ACTUAL cost inflations; you may be surprised to find that 40k in 2007 or 1970 (adjusted) has much different purchasing power.
Inflation is twofold. Basing solely on money supply and not actual value in practice is not representative of the situation at hand.
Good luck on waiting for the elites to piss that golden trickle down onto your face.
You can't discern the difference between you and us? My point stands, even if you need to pretend all of our parents had to have investments for me to be right. They don't. They only have to have invested more, just as I said. Eat foot.
2 things for you. 1) 99th percentile is far more exacerbated, and 99.9th percentile moreso... factors not in your graph but more fitting with our topic.
2) the gap even between the 95th and all others is increased, so I am still correct even when you try to include dentists and doctors (95th) with CEOs and bankers (99.9th, my actual point of discussion).
We were talking about the INSURANCE company making profit over the costs of providing services; then you somehow got confused and thought the wages that doctors make are called "profits" (they aren't) and somehow pretended that for-profit insurance companies can afford to take more money out (profit), charge you less, and pay doctors more. You should learn what PROFIT is first, then how medical payments are made, then think for a while.... then get back to me.
Pffft. You've got your lies and you're sticking to them. I hope you're very rich, else your ignorance hurts you(us).
Wages have not increased with inflation since the late 70s. Debt is rampant, and few are able to invest as our parents did. Real property and ownership (wealth) is amassed and enforced to the richest, and the wealth disparity among people expands. This is the truth. Lie all you want, but you know you're full of shit.
You are completely wrong. Single payer systems are set up to cover the total medical costs of the people. Medical delay and rationing is from doctor/hospital/nurse scarcity, which is a completely different issue. In the US, there will be the same availability for your kidney transplant or your colonoscopy REGARDLESS of whether private or single payer was used to pay for it. I'm glad to make the truth clear to you. It would appear you thought the insurance companies actually control the availability of doctors...
So why is it that single payer non-profit health insurance is 40% LOWER in cost than *ANY* for profit insurer out there?
You've expressed that it will win, but you've got NO FACTS to show. In the US, insurance is largely FOR PROFIT. Please demonstrate one company where they charge LESS than can be achieved by single-payer..... I'll wait... Matter of fact I"ll check for your response in a week because I know you won't find ANYTHING. If what you said was true, people would be using that insurer like crazy!
Get out of your utopian head and back to reality. Capitalism in medicine is criminal.
You're too dim to understand the difference between non-profit and capitalism.
Non-profit means all of the people involved in the work still get paid. The doctors get paid. The nurses. The hospitals. The people who administer payment from the single payer system even get paid.
What DOESN'T exist is MORE MONEY/COSTS being taken out for people who do not actually do the work. These are the stockholders to insurance companies.
I'm glad you gave me the opportunity to explain this to you so now you understand.
I do stem cell research for a living. I am paid a WAGE not a PROFIT, for my work; and if I were to produce something patentable, I would be able to be well paid based on negotiations between me, the patent owner, and the firms that purchase the product. Compensation and Wage are NOT profit.

Traditional fantasy is what I meant, and it of course is opinion. Traditional fantasy is LOTR type themes... dragons... elves... spells.

Whistleblower? Link please. I'm interested to read.
No.

Give your congressman a bj in an airport bathroom. He'll be far more receptive after that.
I don't have the option. My congressman is a Democrat.
You just made that all up. F u for doing so.

Do step 1&2 on a previous day. Dont be fickle, know what you want.
You must have missed my point by watching Mutant Beach Babes #13, Scabfree edition... another summer blocbuster on netflix! (Sarcasm)
Starz makes up a big portion of the GOOD options on netflix. I'm probably dropping my service for the blockbuster equivalent if I can get more choice.
The price increase would be fine if I got more in streaming... instead I just get more useless strange crap made in backyards.
One BIG factor I can show you by phone is housing. Even postv bubble.

You see a 10-fold increase between 1970 and 2010. You inflation adjusted wages aren't even 2fold

No. Capitalism and medicine, ethically, are mutually exclusive. To suggest otherwise is an immediate tell of unethical pursuits.
