probably because your chums want to pay $6/hour rather than a livable wage. Fuck you and your "employer" friends. Pay well, give good benefits, treat employees well and you will not have a problem finding good employees. Can't afford that? Get out of business and make room for someone that can start a viable business. Capitalism! Bitch.
Wrong, they are the frequently underemployed who are angry and irrational and really really thought tRumpF gave a rat's fuck about them. Now, as he kills them with a thousand cuts and stokes their anger against immigrants instead of their real enemy (the rich), they will continue to follow his bullshit lies. Because thinking critically is not their strong suit.
Or course it is but it pollutes the environment, destroys mountains, rivers, the air... Coal should stay in the ground where it does the least harm. If possible we should definitely work down our enormous trash heaps, maybe even go and get all (most, what we can in any case) the plastic out of the ocean and incinerate that too.
Are these _clean_ incinerators though? I meant to underline the clean part but forgot in my original post. From what I'd heard, the _clean_ type incinerators were not permitted in the US because 'murica! Hoo-Rah!
I see what you mean. Thanks for the link, that was very informative. It makes sense that there would be a back-story to something that at first glance was a fuck-up of epic proportions. That sort-of restores my faith in my fellow engineers. Nuclear plants need much better marketers apparently, someone ain't selling them well to the community, and "The Simpsons" doesn't help either.
Costs for the projects have soared due to increased safety demands by U.S. regulators, and also due to significantly higher-than-anticipated costs for labor, equipment and components.
So, out of everything they could have gotten wrong: labor, equipment, and components, +schedule, they managed to get it all wrong. We're talking about a systemic failure across the board. WTF is wrong with these people? I shudder to think what would happen if these clowns ever brought a reactor online, probably a meltdown within six months. Maybe the orange clown will ease regulations to facilitate these wizards of business failure bringing their shitty plans to fruition, maybe we'll get lucky and have four meltdowns all at the same time. The bonus there would be a lot of orange animals, people, and shrubbery, making the cheeto messiah feel right at home.
Or we could, you know, build clean garbage incineration units like they have in Europe which are actually net producers of energy.
The liar-in-chief is a lying liar and is exactly the answer to the joke "How do you know when a politician is lying?"
Maybe we should update the joke to make it more correct: "How do you know when tRumpf or anyone on his administration is lying?";-)
If you have half-a-brain, you will quickly try to put some distance between yourself and him, like you smartly did by posting your comment as an AC. America will not be made great by polluting our waterways, soil, and air. Claiming that it will be is just more lying.
Yes, we definitely need to build water reservoirs. What we'll need to do is cut off the aid to poor states and use that money to build them. Alernatively, we could raise our taxes to build the reservoirs so the destitute states don't end up rioting from lack of food. I do like the way you think though, it is important to fund government appropriately to fund projects that benefit our people and those businesses that choose to do business here.
We are not raising cattle in a dessert, we have actual soil and the cattle are raised on hilly terrain which grows their food naturally. I do take issue with the CAFOs which destroy our environment and produce very low-value and low-quality meat. I buy grass-fed and organic only to support the businesses whose ideals align with mine.
I think the land sank due to the 8-20 years of drought we've been caught up in. It may not recover or it may again raise up as water drains into the underground reservoirs. I do hope we find a way to use our water better, I agree it's a shame we don't do a better job of managing our rainfall.
I'll say "Howdy!" from you next time I'm over having lunch with him. That abundance of state taxes (is STATE an acronym for you? What does it mean?) is what pays for the services our society benefits from. California's messed up priorities like protecting our water? Protecting the ocean? Protecting our air? Is it really that messed up to do things that benefit real flesh and blood human beings rather than the corporate entities that benefit in a state like TX? TX is a "right to abuse workers" state, you can have that, I'm not interested in winning a race to the bottom. That is definitely one where I prefer we come in dead last.
CA is still the land of milk and honey and you all raising cattle in a desert are going against nature. You're also draining an aquifer that feeds at least 8 states, that one refills much much much slower than y'all are draining it. The petroleum isn't going to last forever either and y'all will end up abandoning the land you destroyed and run to the land of milk and honey like your northern neighbors the Okie's did when they destroyed their land.
I stopped watching TWD because there was more drama than zombies. I now watch Z-Nation; it's got ten times the zombies and 100x the gratuitous violence, exactly what I want in a zombie movie.
They didn't need to make a black orphaned Annie. The classics were just fine as they were.
Funny how people's experiences shape their reality. My daughter, who is not black, first saw "Little Orphan Annie" with the black Annie, so to her that is the "Little Orphan Annie" and the other one is "The White Little Orphan Annie". I like how my kids are growing up to be very very near to race blind, I think it bodes well for the future. Then again I live in a suburb of the Greater Los Angeles Area in the People's Republic of California, which keeps a lot of the deadbeat states afloat through our large and for-now voluntary donations to the federal guv'mit.
I've watched a couple of episodes of this, it is not a reality show. It is an obstacle course, there is very little if any of the drama bullshit that I think defines the "reality show" genre. They also are showing "Lucha Underground" which is godawful, cheesy, lame, and features the worst acting I've seen this side of WWE. It's like they're trying to parody something that was already a parody of something else.
You wouldn't get your brain hacked, that's silly....
Well with this brain interface if your computer gets hacked, the worst thing would happen is that the hacker would beam annoying images directly to your brain (instead of displaying it on your VGA monitor) and maybe fuck around with your keyboard mappings so your brainwave commands to the computer don't work properly....
Hopefully the connection from PC to your brain would be wireless, so a hacker can't actually zap your brain with electrical voltage. But even if it's wired, you could put a good mechanical fuse or circuit breaker in between the PC and your brain so only tolerable voltages are ever transmitted.
So, someone could put images directly into my brain? You do realize that most of our thoughts are images? If someone can control the images in your mind, you are effectively under their control. Schizophrenics complain about the images, also the voices, they do dangerous violent things because of these influences. Not as benign and lulzy as you make it out to be.
A brain zap could be used as reinforcement when planting commands and reinforcing ideas, it would not have to go beyond the tolerable level to have a reinforcing effect. Something like in "A Clockwork Orange", only all remote with electric zaps and pushed in images. Bad shit, definitely.
That's fine and good but my point is that you were comparing apples to oranges as the initial comment was about the price including a popcorn and drink.
Yeah, same effect. Kids jobs are now becoming adult jobs, that's because there are less real jobs to go around and the bottom of the job chain now looks attractive or at least is better than starving along with one's kids. It can all be laid at the feet of the retard actor ronald reagan, and every president since who didn't have the balls and sense to realize that trickle-down economics was an economist's fantasy with no bearing in reality. Then the free-trade bullshit economist pipe dream is what put our economy into a terminal descent. Germany didn't buy into that shit and kept its manufacturing and high quality jobs at home, along with protecting their environment.
good points. If they keep that up, ticket prices will go to $5 million dollars each and then they only need to sell 200 tickets to keep their steady cash flow scam going. That will be great for the very rich, they'll have a dedicated sales agent to sell them their ticket, limo pick-up to the movie theater, and of course a great meal catered in-theater by the chef from the nearest 4-Star restaurant.
Movie theaters charge this way because the movie studios take the lion's share of the profits. Movie theaters make almost nothing on the ticket and so try to squeeze it out of concessions.
The problem is not so much learning from your mistakes, it is having to pay for your generation's mistakes on trade (the free trade stupidity), economics (who's the moron that thought trickle down would benefit the masses?), the environment (degradation and consumption of natural resources) that are the problem.
I don't think cable rules shit. Last time I got it, I deeply regretted it and as soon as my three month trial was over, I disconnected it and returned their stupid box. Cable is filled with idiotic fringe channels like HomeShoppingNetwork 1-15, those were seriously 15 channels of my package, the movie channels repeat the same movies over and over, and they show commercials (wtf?). I noticed that after a couple of weeks of trying to use cable I was only using Netflix, so cancelled cable as soon as practical.
So, fuck cable! Until they get rid of the shit channels, commercials, and channel bundling, I'll continue to not subscribe to their services. Now they're trying to bundle in phone service, as if that mattered to a household with 5 cell-phones, and in general, one cell-phone minimum per human over 9 years old.
The cable companies need to realize that they have jumped the shark and exist merely to provide us a fast, cheap, highly available internet connection.
