You don't restrict them to preserve profits for the others
Right, you treat them all the same. But I wouldn't advise just letting people open up a bunch of stinky slaughterhouses without applying strict rules of containment.
As the people of California already know, one picture explains it all. These are the kinds of things that justify calling for early elections to make at least a feeble effort at correcting the problem. And I hope this time the lessons of privatization fall on fertile ground.
Sorry, I'm with the GP. This is clearly a scam. It's not about energy, it's a disagreement over the price. And it's another reason not to privatize critical resources. I am astounded that the people are letting them get away with it. Unfortunately little will be learned from this, as the water issue also illustrates so well.
Whoops! Didn't see you before posting.. Sorry about that. But I do believe this is the running gag these companies pull every once and a while. I never dreamed that people would still fall for it, especially in Australia with its famous intolerance for bullshit. I guess it's all the same the world over.
The truth is that, in addition to drought and famine, sexual frustration plays a big part in facilitating recruitment. That, and up to 400-700 US dollars every month with room and board included. When you compare that to the 40 dinars or whatever useless scrip they get paid in the brickyards, the choice looks pretty obvious. However, the government would rather have you all play this religious angle to rile people up here at home. It's very unfortunate to see the majority people falling for it.
We'll get our hands on these things too. Better for watching the police, my dear. And without putting yourself within firing range. Sounds good to me..
I like how real numbers speak so much better than I can. It's a good thing, because I'm tired of trying to argue with the obtuse. Not that the numbers will make any more difference than they did at the convention itself. Die hard democrats are die hard democrats.
No, there are at least 82 as per the OP. And the truth is at least half are blue dogs. It's a pretty close match to their constituency. Where you get 14 from? I mean, I know where, but can't say because a moderator might take offense. And if you're posting AC so you can moderate the discussion, well, that's not very nice
Yes as comparison what what happened on this vote. Be grateful enough republicans voted it down, because the democrats failed again, just like in '64. Republicans saved your ass at least twice now.
Yeah, I guess watching it happen doesn't mean much these days. I am fully aware what happened to the GOP. What you seem to ignore is that democrat "liberalism" lasted all of about 8 years until Humphrey was nominated against a 19 to 1 popular vote for the other guy (Eugene McCarthy). I guess everybody's eyes were on the events outside the convention hall, without even understanding why it got so exciting. They made it all about the cops, instead of the crooked delegates inside.
Disclaimer: I can grant my view might be colored by the tenure the infamous Richard J. Daley, who epitomized the party's very essence in the north, as George Wallace did in the south. It really is and has always been a party of gangsters.
You should study your history more. This bears zero resemblence to 1964.
Well, that's the problem. What you know about 1964 came from your "history" books. Now, if you expect me to revise what happened to your tastes, I can only tell you, no thanks.
Not all of them. The conservative democrats are now called "blue dog", "third way", and the old name "Bourbon democrats". And they are still at least half the party. The civil rights and "liberalism" was only during the brief time Kennedy was president and Bobby and MLK were still alive. And it came crashing down with Humphrey's nomination. Their history, going back 150 years right up to today, is something most democrats refuse to acknowledge. The cops' billy club have their name written all over it. Deep down it is still the party of George Wallace, now with more tokenism. Bill Clinton confirmed that with his mandatory sentencing laws, DOMA, and welfare "reform".
The voters fight each other over ideology. The politicians are just in it for the money, coke, and hookers. They are playing an entirely different game that the public does not want to acknowledge. They don't want to hear that they are being taken for a ride.
The "Democrats" you are referring to were what was colloquially known as "Dixiecrats" who were conservative by every measure.
So what? They were still democrats. That should tell you something, the democrats are still full of conservatives. And quite a few of them voted for the patriot act and all its extensions, and for war, mass incarceration, and everything else. The democrats have no monopoly on civil rights. They are in bed with the devil on most issues, this one being more notable at the moment.
And your silliness still makes the republicans look even better. You should quit while you're behind. The shame of misunderstanding the situation is yours, whatever you are.
What does it all do that it needs that many lines of code, anyway?
Well, I hope it can at least print "hello world" or display the time on the screen. Whatever it does, the kludge makes it look fat. I'll bet ya that if it were written in Assembly it would fit on a floppy

The facts will come out after the "crisis" is over. In light of precedence, why would you doubt the scam?

California went through this also. This is no accident from "lack of foresight".
But there will be a learning curve.
There is not a single real technical issue at play here. It is not about energy supply, it's about manipulating the market, pure corruption.

Or is this just some Enron style ripoff scheme? The whole gag sounds like nothing more than an argument over distribution prices.

Thank you for that link.
McCarthy - 2,914,933
Humphrey - 166,463

1964, look up the voting records your damn self!
And then forward to 1968... inside the convention
And right there in the original post... 47% of democrats voted for the patriot act expansion. It speaks volumes, but falls on deaf ears..
Damn! What, are you trying to make Trump look good now? No wonder he's so popular and the voters stay home.
you missed a chunk of American political history.

No, by omitting verifiable history, which includes the present. You are playing the ideology angle, they are not. This is business

How could things get to that point?

Not that I eat at McDonalds anymore..
Me neither, I always use the drive-thru
I have no interest in arguing
You don't say!
Actually the last name would probably be "Normal", first name "Abby"
