We re losing jobs because China and other countries tolerate working conditions, environmental transgressions, and things that would never fly in the US.
You CANNOT pick up a Chinese steel plant, drop it in Ohio, and operate it at the same level of profit as you can in China, even taking into account the wages and cost of materials. THAT is why US manufacturers go there.
Some people say we have outsourced jobs. What we really outsourced was the pollution and working conditions that would never be tolerated in the U.S.
Which begs the question: If it's not OK to manufacture things in the US under these conditions, then why is it OK to do so in China? If we import these items, are we not even a little bit morally responsible for the misery and pollution inflicted while creating these things?
A simple Android App sends all calls not in my contacts list to voice mail. Voice Mail is a 90 second screed on all the reasons I WON'T call them back and 90 seconds seems to exceed the time limit on most automated systems.
Only people who really need to talk to me wait through all of that.
Nope. Income taxes are individual taxes and unrelated to states.
States don't pay income taxes. YOU do. No matter where you live.
YOUR State is imposing extra costs on you, not any Red state.
communism/kämynizm/ noun a political theory derived from Karl Marx, advocating class war and leading to a society in which all property is publicly owned and each person works and is paid according to their abilities and needs and tens of millions are murdered for the common good.
It's highly likely that many of those people are actually paying for a package that the providers label broadband, but actually isn't broadband speed, or, the cable loops are so congested broadband speed is impossible.
* An entire Aisle for Home Automation. Right near the entrance. * A complete setup for people to play with * Each part labeled with function and cost. * An entire webpage on Lowes.com about it, how it works, what it costs an cost savings.
I'd want people who came there for a light bulb to see it and think, "hey, that's cool!".
I wouldn't want to wait for people who are interested. I'd want to MAKE people interested.
But if I were a copyright holder, I'd object to being put in a position where I would have to police the entire internet for my stuff and then go through the process to have it removed.
At least a single site operator would only have their stuff to go through. So then the question would be, how can the site operator tell what is copyrighted or not. So that seems like a more appropriate area for them to be looking at.
So...make the site operators responsible, but provide a mechanism that prevents them from having to hire a giant staff to review material.

More expense to the consumer.
Same thing.
LOL!
You mean like, Tariffs?

Cancer can and has been detected through odors by dogs.
Seems like that would be a much better use of this technology than would be just telling you if you stink.
They sold it.
100 million years!
Fuck!
We need new taxes and a hashtag, pronto!

What would they do if they got a call from one of the Euthanasia clinics in Portland?
Actually, I think owing $4k might be considered under withholding and subject to a penalty,
Not sure because I've never owed that much.
You have a hugely expensive home. Pay your fair share!

The driver of the supposed inequity is state and local taxes.
It's soooo funny how the Left has screamed about people paying their fair share and now that THEY had to do it, they get all upset.
Nope.
Anyone who lives in a high tax state is going to get screwed and so be it.
Someone in a low tax state making $X should not pay more income taxes than someone in a high tax state making the same.
If you get a $4,000 refund, you are a moron who knows nothing about Tax Planning.
THIS is China.
Fuck you.
Because they use the fucking Army as police too.
Except for the Totalitarian Communist Government that runs concentration camps and shit like that.
Fuck you, you cock sucking communist. Your time will come.
If you've ever been on Netflix looking for some old movie from years ago, odds are you won't find it.
It's a good bet you'd find it on YouTube for rent at $3
For instance, Animal House Netflix History:
12/01/2016: Added to Netflix
03/01/2017: Removed from Netflix
11/01/2018: Streaming Again
It has been available on Youtube since forever
You can be sure that this individual will receive far fairer treatment than anyone in China ever would.
And...plenty of Americans have been jailed in China.

Google constantly talks about Social Justice when it appears they need a bit of Social Justice applied to them.
f it costs the same as an average new car, then why the need for a tax credit?
I'd do it this way.

It's a mess to be sure.
