Numerous meaning about a half-dozen? Most of us left because the Democrapic party has become a corporatist bunch of cock-suckers. We want a socialist party thus the incredible rise of Bernie. A party for the people, what a concept!
Just to build on what you stated: Signal of failure sent to nearby vehicles so they can brake and maneuver around the failed vehicle safely. Signal sent to AAA or robot equivalent to send out repair help and medical if necessary.
We already had this situation with CA smog laws. Manufacturers adapt. It is also _not_ true that "vehicles... are.. expressly designed to, travel from state to state". By your logic, cars are expressly designed to travel from country to country and thus we should not have our own environmental laws which differ from environmental laws in other countries.
On that "newly born" point. Newly born only inherit the insurance rights of the parents, right? It would be not too tough for a family who knows their child will likely have some expensive disease from birth to move from a regressive state to one that would cover it. I want everyone covered but I would hate the regressive citizens from another state to suddenly discover socialism when they realize how great it is for providing medical care.
I don't put much faith in the 1337 skilz of a 400 pound whale. People like that are generally not very motivated and as evidenced by their obesity, not very intelligent.
Pearl Harbor was not a mistake. The information was withheld on purpose to provide motivation/impetus/excuse to enter the war in an unbridled way. Don't believe me? Do some research, it's not a theory held by the tin-foil crowd, it is a view supported by the evidence and now more and more historians believe that to be the case.
Will 9/11 be seen in the same way in 50 years? Worse, maybe as a false flag operation? Guess we'll have to wait and see.
Bob Slydell: You see, what we're actually trying to do here is, we're trying to get a feel for how people spend their day at work... so, if you would, would you walk us through a typical day, for you?
Peter Gibbons: Yeah.
Bob Slydell: Great.
Peter Gibbons: Well, I generally come in at least fifteen minutes late, ah, I use the side door - that way Lumbergh can't see me, heh heh - and, uh, after that I just sorta space out for about an hour.
Bob Porter: Da-uh? Space out?
Peter Gibbons: Yeah, I just stare at my desk; but it looks like I'm working. I do that for probably another hour after lunch, too. I'd say in a given week I probably only do about fifteen minutes of real, actual, work.
How about some data to put these arguments into context?
Its less fashionable neighbor, Queens, outearns Brooklyn at $54,373 per year. New York City's most suburban borough, Staten Island, is also its richest, with a median household income of $70,295, while the suburban counties surrounding New York are all richer than any of the boroughs.Jan 9, 2014 https://www.google.com/url?sa=...
The ACS 1-year data shows the median family income for San Francisco was $103,237 in 2015. Compared to the median California family income, San Francisco median family income is $29,656 higher. As with the median household income data, 2016 family income data for San Francisco will be released in September of 2017. http://www.deptofnumbers.com/i...
Based on those numbers, a "family" composed of 2 earners would be making 5x the median income for a familly in San Fran and 6x that in Staten Island. I'd say that definitely qualifies as rich. Now whether that affords one a "Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous" type of living, would be a different question. No doubt though that $250K is a lot even on the wealthy coasts. That housing costs are outrageous is a whole other issue.

Look pal, no one is going to come and take away your 1971 Maverick Grabber. You can drive that baby into the ground, or wrap it around a tree, whatever, no one cares. Eventually, it will go off the driveable list one way or another. Or gasoline will become so rare that it will be affordable only for wealthy douches or by special permit only. Parts will become harder and harder to get, if you can afford it you'll have to buy a few extra whole cars to keep as donors, etc. So enjoy your thoughtless pursuits while you can, you are a dying breed. Lucky for the rest of us YOLO!
Yeah, you're right. And everyone knows there is infinite, endless petroleum underground. Price of oil doesn't wildly fluctuate with political, economic, and butterfly flapping effects so whatever the price is now is what it will continue to be until the rapture, right?
I do honestly believe that. If not that, then what? What is the point of us throwing in our lot with a government if not for enhancing our lives and self-cum-group protection? Really.
We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.
Whether government mandated or not is not the key point, it is a red herring that "libertarians" try to use as a freedom wedge to separate us humans from what should be our common cause, to improve the lot of all humans living in (at the very least) our country. Corporatists are so happy to latch on to this unimportant point when it's convenient and make it an issue because "'murica!" Corporatists are not so independent minded when it comes to asking for government help in maintaining their monopolies (software patents for example) or government subsidies (corn, wheat, monsanto) because "oh, the economy can't live without us". Fuck them. Fuck you too for being so naive as to buy in to the corporatist agenda.
Ford did it because it made his employees able to afford his cars. He literally said so. The better employee loyalty and quality was apparently an unintended consequence, fortuitous, but nonetheless a side effect. Entitlements are the corporate welfare that is given to so so many corporations by apparently all levels of government. Why aren't you whining about that? Isn't that an entitlement? Why are corporations so entitled to entitlements and flesh and blood humans aren't? Are you an AI poorly pretending to be human?
How has this "basic econ-101" been working out for us as a nation? We have obscene wealth disparity, health disparity, education disparity, etc, etc... Maybe because life and our complications and corporate owned government have left us a snafu that can't be addressed or analyzed with "basic econ-101" solutions?
I would suggest you actually take a course in a subject before you lambast us for being as smart as you.
I doubt anyone had the slightest intention of having the inkling of having any such thought.;-)
The fundamental problem is that externalities are never paid for by the fucking corporations. That is why they are called externalities, to the psychopathic American corporation, externalities are and SEP (somebody-else's-problem). The only reason they ever give two shits is if someone can afford to outlast them in an expensive and protracted lawsuit.
So, you're saying that economics is total bullshit because even in theory it fails? I agree with your statement. Physics, chemistry, and biology are borne out by real life experiments and don't permanently reside in a ivory tower of theoretical perfection. Engineering exposes physics, chemistry, and biology to the crucible of reality and those sciences are refined and moved forward. Economics seems to never evolve, but it is a nice career choice as you/it can never be wrong. Economics theory provides cover for what governments and corporations wish to do, kind of like our neocortex provides cover (she's smart!) for what our limbic system wants to do (want to impregnate her!). Economics theory is the religion of government/corporations, they can hide all kinds of evil behind its veils.
You are coming dangerously close, and in fact may already have crossed the line into admitting that the government can and should intercede in declaring minimum wages given how heavy handed they have been in favor of corporations (due to corporatism) as drinkypoo has pointed out. There is literally zero proof that all these entitlements to corporations have improved the life of our citizens since the 1970's. Wages have been stagnant and declining for 90% of US Citizens, for whose benefit the government _should_ operate, else what is the purpose of government?

No doubt you have evidence to substantiate your claims. Lets have it.

Some cars and trucks cross state lines. The vast majority don't. Those that aren't authorized wouldn't. No real problem.
On that "newly born" point. Newly born only inherit the insurance rights of the parents, right? It would be not too tough for a family who knows their child will likely have some expensive disease from birth to move from a regressive state to one that would cover it.

GLMDesigns, you keep up with the clear-headed arguments and I might have to un-Foe you. ;-)

Not sure why you were flagged troll, I thought it was a reasonable rejoinder. I guess the wealthy trolls got a lot of mod points today.
