Yeah it doesn't work in the US as we pay our cops too much. Need to get rid of the police unions if we want to have a decent pay 2 play police service.
The gigantic US market is based on debt and that debt is cheap because everyone in the world has a lot of dollars and nothing to do with it but invest it in US. Why does everyone have so many dollars? Because they need dollars to buy oil so just to be safe they keep their reserves in dollars. If the Khasshogi incident leads to Saudi pricing oil in Yuan, say bye bye to the US market and then noone needs to listen to the US.
Saudis dont ignore climate change. They support it enthusiastically. Their current climate sucks. Any change would be an improvement. All the models show that a warming planet will cause more rains in Saudi and green the desert. It would be stupid for Saudis to be against climate change.
Russia needs to get the Poroshenko suppporters out of their rocket factories. The incidents of sabotage are just getting worse and worse. One would think space is offlimits in the sabotage war going on between US and Russia but the Nazis runnignUkraine today did not get the memo. One must love Hillary's foreign policy choices. Giving weapons to Al Qaeda in Syria and to Nazis in Ukraine.
He knows he cant afford lawyers as good as Apple and hence cant win in court. He aims to embarress Apple into settling and for that a story about the little guy representing himself works much better.
Someone ran an update query with the where clause missing. And they fixed it by running another update query. This is why you have History tables so you can fix mistakes by going back to the last setting not the default setting. Given Google's open plan offices and high noise level its only natural that its difficult to concentrate and this kind of stuff happens. You should trust your data to Microsoft. They have offices for everyone
Every 10 yrs or so a large cohort of folks hit retirement, take their 401Ks out of the safe investments and hand it over to hedge funds to get better returns. The hedge funds need to chase returns so they go after the speculative stuff and fuel a boom - 1999, 2008, 2017. Tech, real estate,crypto. The eventual bust is natural when something blows up so quickly overshoot will happen. The next bubble is in 2026-27. Now whether a bubble is constructive or destructive depends on whether the hedge funds ran after the right returns. Despite the 2000 bust , society as a net did gain as out of that investment came companies like Google and Amazon. Not sure if we gained anything out of the housing bubble. Crypto we will have to wait and see.
In the Neolithic Age with handtools a person might spend an entire week creating a stone knife. Now it can be made on a CNC machine in 5 minutes and you can order it on Amazon in 30 secs and lets add in another 5 minutes of work done by your USPS delivery guy to get it into your hand. A flint knife is now worth 15 minutes of time instead of a week. Things are way cheaper. We all live pretty much like kings of a bygone era
Depends whether you define Jewellery as industrial use or investments. Traditionally women could not own property but could own Jewellery. Gold was their 401K, homestead and Savings plan. Now women in the west own real property so they may not care about Gold as an investment but then again most of the worlds gold jewelery is owned in India and in India gold is still an investment.
You forget the effect of fractional banking. To make a 100 dollar loan the bank doesnt hae to have 100 dollars, they can hold 15 dollars in reserve and make a 100 dollar loan. So say a bank A started with 60 dollars, they make loans of 400 dollars, the folks who took the loans deposited it in Bank B. Bank B now has 400 dolars of reserves, they can now make 2400 dollars of loans to customers who deposit in Bank A. Bank A now has 2400 dollars in reserves and can make 14400 dollars of loans and so on. To paraphrase your example with fractional banking everytime I raise an object into the air I can have it fall down 6 times and everytime an object falls down it raises an object into the air so now I have 6 objects in the air. Banking is literally the process of creating money. The Fed (which is a trade union of private banks) exists to make sure bankers dont go crazy with this process. The other check on the system is people dont take out loans just because a bank can offer loans , they do only because they have a real need (something productive which will create value). So as more value is created in the economy you need more money to represent that value so we do need to constantly create new money. Now whether you create the new money through fractional banking or through solving crypto puzzles is only a question of efficiency. Doing it the traditional way uses less electricity but you spend money on regulatory mechanisms to make sure noone is cheating (counterfeiting, giving loans beyond reserve ratio etc). The open question is whether the cost of creating money through solving math puzzles is less than the cost of creating it through the FED.
IMF was created to do bailouts. If economies dont collapse IMF officials are out of a job. World Bank was created to give uneconomic loans to economies which were not sufficiently subservient to US corporate interests. Once those loans create a debt crisis, IMFs job is to come in and do a bailout and seize control of the countries economic policy and modify it to be friendly to US corporate interests. After WW2 US had 2 choices on how to rule a worldwide empire 1) Absorb all conquered territories as US states, give people a vote and equal rights as Americans 2) Do not absorb anyone, instead impose the Bretton Woods system so that the US gets all the economic benefits of having a worldwide colonial empire without having to deal with the costs.
In other words we are all becoming Victorian English. We would rather write a strongly worded letter than confront in person or send a Thank You note instead of thanking in person. Thank god for texting as it is leading to a revival of written communication which had been dying with the onslaught of overly gregarious extrovert types who got out of control with the invention of the phone and the automobile.
Corporations are a Dutch invention. They are a way of putting the risk in the public domain and the profit in the private domain. Corporations or Royal Charters were only granted for extremely high risk endeavours which noone would take up if they had to cover the loss or harm. Nowadays everything is allowed to be a corporation. Basically we should only allow corporations when there is a public benefit in the endeavour. For everything else the proprieter needs to be held personally responsible
When you want to keep something frozen you want it bigger not smaller. The amount of heat needed to melt something is proportional to its volume but the amount that can actually be added is proportional to the surface area. As things get bigger volume increase much faster than surface area so larger the block of ice more chance it has of reaching Dubai without melting. Interestingly this is also why Europeans who evolved for cold climates are larger in size . Heat loss is proportional to Surface area while core heat is proportional to volume so bigger bodies can survive better in cold climates. Of course in hot climates its more efficient to be thin and short.
Most climate models show that Global Warming will lead to higher humidity and more rain in the Sahara and Arabia. It will also make land in the Russian Siberia and Canadian Arctic more valuable. Global Warming will be bad for California and North Europe. So if greening the desert is the aim , the gulf countries should provide cheap oil to burn.
The Trade deficit means the Chinese businessman have a ton of dollars and they use it to buy property on th coasts driving cost of living up in Democrat areas while it also means cheap stuff is available in middle America driving cost of living low in Trump country. Lets close the trade deficit. Than finally I will be able to buy something in the Bay Area and middle America can get off its ass and work for a living.
In the US too they often dont make it to a trial court. They get shot down like animals. And the cops in the US dont even have the sense of shame to try and hide it.
He should avoid having girlfriends. The kind of control he craves and violently lashes out if not provided, is better provided by escorts. And escorts are much cheaper than girlfriends. Its not only ugly and poor losers who use escorts. Many rich busy people use escorts as they do not want to spend the time nurturing relationships - their emotional connections are to the companies they found.

Everything that is called corruption and illegal in India is called Lobbying and perfectly legal in USA. There are no criminals if nothing is a crime.

How about all the snooping data facebook collects without our knowledge. Facebook should be made to pay for that badwidth instead of the end user.

Thats scarily real
A bully is really a coward at heart so why does this surprise you?
Its already spent. The 1.5 trillion dollar tax cut for corporations. A tariff is just a National Sales Tax.

One day when we are all using google glass there will be a nostalgia article about how everyone had a phone in their pockets.
OK I kid. Google Glass is never going to takeover but some form of Augmented reality based interface will take over from a slab of glass interface.
