Higher minimum wage means a lot more peace of mind for me personally, even though it won't impact my own wages.
Aha, sure. Let's see, we now have to pay the proles more, so it's either we fire a lot of them or we reduce the wages for others in order to have the money to meet the new minimum. Want a better analogy? Think of the dumbing down of education in order to let the idiots..., erm, intelectually challenged, make grade.
Then you'll have a long wait. The armed forces have to be better equipped than the citizens so they could better respond in case of citizens uprising. Did you skip your history class? Each and every rulling class had to resort to the armed forces to subdue its citizens in order to preserve their reign. It will hapen even to the goold, old US in the near future, don't worry.
No, no, no, we don't want to 'punish' law-abiding citizens. We just want them to have less than reliable firearms as it seems we can't stop them from having them. You know, just in case the sheep... erm, the citizens wake up.
We are the customers. We paid for the things that we use. We shouldn't have to be forced to go through all the 'disable the registry' hops in order to get our computer to work
Please, do tell me again how much did you pay for Windows 10? Is it open source? No? Then you're the fucking product, not a cusotmer.
We, the consumers, have given too much 'face' to the tech companies, so much so that right now they, the service providers, get to tell us, their paymasters, what we must do, and not the other way around
Since the begining of the time, a service is usually provided on a 'take it or leave it' base. It's a forced contract meaning you have to agree to the service provider's terms. Of course, you're free to leave if they are changing the terms or you don't want it anymore.
It is the customers who should have the final say
And we do have the final say. We can stop using the service if we don't want. BTW, did you ditch Windows in favor of an alternate OS?
Just as I figured, you don't give a damn about people's convictions, you only care about being seen as PC. Let me guess, American or western european? Working in a multinational company?
So you'll kick him out because it could be damaging to your company image, not because he's a member of KKK. Now tell me, would you do the same for an anti gay/lesbian? Or for a pro-abortion? Or for... (insert not PC actions here)
1 and 2 are not going to happen. You must buy new bling every year (6 moths would be better) so that the manufactures won't starve. Think of their children!
You gave up your right to privacy the moment you aquired a mobile phone and were being issued a credit/debit card. Tracking you everywhere you go, as long as the phone is emitting a signal, is trivial. Using the credit/debit card leaves a more distinct track. I'm not saying that you, the individual, are being monitored on purpose by any lettered agency, but the records exist and can (an will, in the near future) be used to compose a very accurate profile. Now where's my damned tinfoil hat???
It's not population shortage EU is worried about but cheap labour. We have a shortage of slaves to do menial jobs like garbage hauling, sewer/waste management, serving tables, office drones and such.
Erm, not quite. Cult: incipient form of religion. May be persecuted by the state until transformed into religion (see belowe). In most cases used to get power and money for the leader/priests. Religion: state sanctioned cult. Used in the past to keep people under control. Always used to get power and money for the head guy and priests. Also, as a fun fact: the 2 coercitive forces states use(d) (were)are the army (as in armed forced employed by the government in the form of the military and/or police) and the priesthood. May not work in most developed countries but sure as hell works for the rest.
Presumably a fully-able human could do this through VR on some sort of omnidirectional treadmill. (The "puppet" would walk around and do things, but possibly controlled by someone far away.)
You mean like the corporations and politicians? They are already doing this.
Just wait a couple of years until the failbook generation comes to power. Don't forget they're unable to spell so using drawings will be easier for them.
It's not only the US. Any large arms manufacturing corporation is more than eager to star wars in order to sell wepons/ammo. Coupled with the desire of countries to test new weapons/ammo and you've got the explanation for all the wars/armed conflicts/police actions in the world. Oh, yeah, tinfoil on.
Well. I don't stream music/movies, I download them for later viewing, so even my old dial-up modem does its job:P As for the rest, browsing the web with ublock and noscript takes care of sites timing out. So I get unlimited 'internet' even if I'm capped.
And if it's not throttled then there's a limit of XX GB per month, depending on your download speed. Still limited, by your definition. For me, unlimited internet access mean 'all I can download' Full stop. For you it seems unlimited means 'all I can download at maximum speed'.
Many people are brought up to blindly accept authority and facts without evidence or actually thinking it over for themselves. Facts are taught as subjective, with an emphasis that reality itself is subjective. This is problematic because it starts with their family at infancy.
OK, can we stop with this religion bashing now? I know it's fun, but let's keep to the facts, shall we?
You can't "spread ignorance" like you spread jelly. To fight knowledge you have to block someone else's speech, or spread disinformation to counter it, or harm people's ability to think by drugging them or hitting them on the head.

Now we just need to ban ads. Tout suite!
There, much better now.
People are getting sick of getting screwed by media companies.
So they bend over and subscribe to streaming companies owned (behind the scene) by the media companies.

Tried that but then I saw the playlists. Trust me, Rick would have been an improvement.

No, I didn't forget sex, it's included in power. The more women you have the more powerful you are. Alpha male and such scientific terms :P

Nope, just learn to aim for the head, not for the body.

WTF, man, are you so desperate that you'd drive for uber? Ain't no McD in your area hiring?
You know, you just described the talion law, aka an eye for an eye.
Well. I don't stream music/movies, I download them for later viewing, so even my old dial-up modem does its job :P

If they throttle after 5GB, it's not unlimited
You may want to check a dictionary before posting. Just saying.

In other words, more TV shows and breaking news.
