    Apparently for a long time if you live in certain Chicago neighborhoods.

    Apparently in 30 years heâ(TM)s learned nothing. If heâ(TM)s being paid for his cyber security experience he ought to be fired. A simple call and he gave it all. As others have said and as I do, if someone calls me and wants me to verify any information, I ask for their name and employee number and call back to a well publicized phone number for that office or company. AND I didnâ(TM)t need 30 years of cyber security expertise to figure it out.

    It is not illegal to make and sell guns. You just need a manufacturing FFL. So much disinformation.

    I have a nephew with developmental disabilities who works at an Amazon warehouse and they treat him well. His dad liked how they were treating him so he went and got a part time job.

  6. Re: Leukemia on EPA Blocks Warnings on Cancer-Causing Chemical: Report (politico.com) · · Score: 1

    I wonder how long George Burns would have had to live to get cancer? Saying that if something else hadnâ(TM)t killed them theyâ(TM)d get cancer is a statement that canâ(TM)t ever be proven and so making it is foolish.

    Tiananmen Square would be the place those subsidies get protested. That really gets the governmentâ(TM)s attention, and bullets.

  8. So what happens when government in it attempt to tax harm actually causes harm? How do we remedy that? A new law to fix the old law that may even cause more harm? An example; there is an alternative minimum tax in the US. It was passed in order to guarantee the very rich paid what was considered a âoefairâ amount of tax since other tax law gave them exemptions the regular folks couldnâ(TM)t take. Originally, in 1969, the government realized 155 citizens with high 6 figure incomes paid no tax because of all the deductions given them by the tax code. So congress passed the AMT to get them. The problem was it was never indexed for inflation. So the law that was meant to catch 155 people now catches millions and youâ(TM)ll never know until you do your tax. The first year I earned over $45,000 I got hit with AMT. Iâ(TM)d never heard of it before. Millions of middle class folks hadnâ(TM)t either. So a law to catch the wealthy had huge unintended consequences, except for the government that took more of your income. And, every so often they âoefixâ AMT again. So a law to fix the tax income law to catch people who pay no income tax actually harms millions of people. We should definitely put the government in the job of assessing harm.

    Gun control has worked so well in Chicago. We need to emulate so that the only folks with guns are criminals.

  11. We aren't going to default on Seigniorage Hack Could Resolve Debt Limit Crisis · · Score: 0

    The government takes about $200 billion dollars a month, of that $20 is debt service. That leaves $180 billion. They problem is that government spends more than it takes it. It's going to have to cut $150+ billion a month. Smaller government is not a bad thing. Also, Obama has no plan, he just criticizes other. And Obama says we all have to sacrifice, what about the 47% of tax payers who don't pay any? When are they going to sacrifice. The top 10% of taxpayers pay 70% of the taxes and 47% pay nothing. The is the travesty. This is a crisis created by Obama and the Democrats and their obsession to spend. Obama running up huge deficits and now blaming the conservatives who want to restore the financial credibility. Obama deserves all the negatives from this.

  12. Apple, Itunes and Palm on A Different Perspective On Snow Leopard's Exchange Support · · Score: 1

    How can Apple users complain if Microsoft would change the protocol and break Exchange Support. I wonder if Palm would be so sympathetic to Apple's plight. I mean, who changed the Itune syncing so that Palm Pre's broke. Apple and MS are two peas in the same pod. And how laughable is it that Apple is benefiting OpenSource? LMAO. I don't know how much more benefiting I can take from apple. LOL

  14. Lots of can'ts on Staying In Shape vs. a Busy IT Job Schedule? · · Score: 1

    Seems that all those can'ts are more likely won'ts. I work long hours and I can tell you diet is more important than exercise. I've moved to a low-carb diet with very little exercise and have lost 45lbs in 5 weeks. If you want results, those can'ts need to be wills.
