Making the usual price include "discounts" and then charging back those discounts on early termination is a bastardy thing to do. However...
A lease is a lease. If you terminate early having to pay out the remainder of the term is pretty standard. So if there' this "giant usurious bomb" you just keep the lease and pay it each month while not living there, no bomb goes off.
Surely the real estate agent you got to read it pointed out this ridiculous term and advised you not to sign it?
In many places you don't pay for incoming calls at all. The caller pays a higher rate for calling a cell phone instead. Of course that means you can't put cell phones and land line phones in the same area code prefix blocks since there has to be some way to tell which is which when making a call.
Then you work out if its just a minor error in one, or if there's a systemic issue and you need to redo the entire election.
You also find and execute the people who tried to rig the election if it was intentional.
You don't have two controls so that you can choose one over the other. You have two controls so that if they are different you know something has screwed up. Once you know something is broken you can work out how to fix it. If you don't know in the first place it's a tad more difficult to fix.
Only when flying (and I guess lots of Americans travel over land not being an island, unlike where I'm from), Actually I see no mention of being restricted to international, maybe the US airlines just do it for you under the covers while when I've flown from the US on a non-US airline I had to that out after buying the ticket.
Dear The People Who Are Watching Your Smug Privacy-Raping Asses,
Do you really think we care if you notice?
We'll introduce this again in a year or two and you'll notice again but there will be half as many complaints and we'll withdraw it. The time after that there will be even less complaints we will push it through.
Love, Onstar.
P.S. Do you remember when you didn't need to get a pat down to board a plane? When you didn't have to give the government advance notice of your international travel plans? When corporations couldn't destroy your life with a "mistyped" SSN?
OK so borrowing from overseas will prop up a currency temporarily. But that requires the lenders to do that actual something. "Sure we'll take that money of you and pay you 0% interest" doesn't seem like manipulation to me - it seems like the obvious thing to do if someone is dumb enough to make the offer. The actual things the US government (yeah, yeah the Fed is independent blah blah blah) does control completely: printing money and interest rate levers they've pushed way to the "push the currency down" side.
And I don't think it is possible for China to overpay for US assets. They are trading those dollars that are destined to be worthless (well worth much less than they are currently valued) for things that might not be.
The United States has, far and away, the best care ONCE YOU GET SICK
If you don't mind accepting bankruptcy with your health.
"I can't get my bypass surgery on demand, even though I'm still smoking?" "You mean that we aren't gonna put my 85 year old relative on a ventilator in the ICU?" "You mean my baby with multiple congenital defects is not a candidate for a multimillion dollar surgery + 2 years in neonatal ICU?"
And an inunsured American smoker will get bypass surgery on demand? And their baby will get that multimillion dollar surgery? Those who want such ridiculous allocation of limited resources in countries like Australia can pay to get such things in the private sector so how is it different?
They have interest rates at 0. They've been QEing like Argentina. They've been running huge budget deficits.
All of those things are supposed to apply downward pressure on a currency. So what exactly do you think the US is doing to manipulate its currency to artificially high levels?
X-rays have been farmed out overseas for at least a decade now, it's hardly a new thing. Of course any doctor in India making a diagnosis has to be board certified in the state the work is being farmed out from so who cares, they are just as qualified as the local docs.
Yes, Amazon has been able to trim the cost of the device to half of the entry-level iPad. And it will be the same price as Barnes & Noble’s Nook Color, which this will very obviously compete with directly. Both have 7-inch color touch screens. Both run Android.
Just wait until this moron finds out all the people being "made" to write linux code. Actually he has a minecraft section in his top menu, is he getting paid for that prime advertising spot? Or was he "made" to do that by the evil Mojang folk?
Sure I did but I didn't have a connection payment up front (though If you screw up enough to get things disconnected there would be I guess). So that's all monthly fees which doesn't qualify for the "I've already purchased" part in what you are replying to.
Obviously, but that clearly isn't the sole cause of increases in education costs which were occurring during the boom years and also at private institutions.
Drinking something that your ancestors have drunk for thousands of years but balking at something new is not irrational. Boring sure, but rational.
Once it is shown to be safe - which depending on your level of trust might mean waiting a few generations - it would be irrational. Well maybe once it is shown to have some benefit over the traditional item too.
It's amazing, you make it easy for people to get money to pay for some specific thing and the price of that thing skyrockets for no apparent reason.
It's not like this has happened with other things, say handing out home loans like candy causing house prices to shoot up.
And the additional money goes to the administators, after all they are the ones who are clearly doing all the work to increase the institution's revenue. And of course to those stadiums you mentioned, since that helps the administrators perform better at the dick measuring conferences.
I need my telephone because without it I would not be able to have the job I have. And without a job I wouldn't be able to pay for my food and shelter.
Not sure I could live under a bridge and on government handouts or I could get a lower paid job and live somewhere else/eat differently, but the word need in that original context doesn't mean "absolutely required for life" it's just a little broader. Yes, the English language is sloppy.

Being alive and being tissue are two different things.
Sperm is not living tissue either.

So it doesn't have access to an app store, but it drives people to amazon appstore?
Make up your mind.
Then you work out if its just a minor error in one, or if there's a systemic issue and you need to redo the entire election.
You also find and execute the people who tried to rig the election if it was intentional.

Try it with 20 users all on one that one machine.
The fluid in your inner ear is not "living tissue". So you miss again.
Knowing it happens isn't the same as knowing the mechanism behind why it happens.

How is the US doing that exactly?
They have interest rates at 0. They've been QEing like Argentina. They've been running huge budget deficits.

Whereas I have sometimes but not most of the time. And I've moved 8 times in the last 7 years.
Yes they do (for their device anyway). And no it isn't.

Was i really that hard to take 2 seconds to look before jumping to a conclusion?
Your own link says:

Maybe has their children hostage? No?
So how are they "making" them do this.
Just wait until this moron finds out all the people being "made" to write linux code. Actually he has a minecraft section in his top menu, is he getting paid for that prime advertising spot? Or was he "made" to do that by the evil Mojang folk?

Yes doing exactly what you say you are doing is very misleading.
Because lasers are magic and can fix all vision problems.
