These treaties are anti-democratic by design. They are neo-liberal, trickle down, supply-side(voodoo) economics on a global scale. There is no way to negotiate this stuff publicly and get it signed off. But with current reelection rates, there should be little doubt the deal will pass. At least people are finally talking about it, if it turns into action in next year's elections and we are rid of republicans and democrats, great! Otherwise, all the chatter is just clogging the tubes.
Are you saying there is no way out? This is our eternal destiny? That could only mean we are not truly conscious, that we do everything by raw instinct, run with the herd, evolution will determine our path. Eh, not entirely implausible I guess...
Don't ever expect any help from your carrier anyway. All your shit belongs to them. Check your contract, chances are they have your consent to do what they want.
I'm not saying we have it now, but in the 50s, all the way up to the 70s, before security theater, it could be trivially done. Up until just a few years ago we could cross the Atlantic in 3 hours. We even had the ability to travel to the moon and back, but in the words of the famous inspector, "Not anymore"
This is not a 'good' deed. It is a typical investment in a company that sells software, which sounds more like snake oil. Any 'good' coming from it for education in general will be entirely ancillary, a matter of luck. They are perfectly welcome to use their money as they wish, but save the bullshit for the believers.
ctually I would blame the regulator, and the regulations, and the congresscritters who voted for there not to be any.
You are blaming everybody but the people who constantly reelect those congresscritters because they *bring home the bacon*. This democracy thing is high maintenance. You gotta watch 'em like a hawk between the election cycles, day in and day out. It's the customer that has to act ethically, through their purchases and their votes.
That's right. It never happens. The police always knock three times and leave quietly if nobody answers. You know what's sad about the summary there is that we have to fear the cops as much as any other common thief.

Yes, the system is biased against the AC, nothing new there. Read at -1. Many posts are also downmodded for the wrong reasons.
...more reasonable times.
When was that? I'm still waiting for someone to pin that down. Maybe that's why the 'memories' are so vague.

It has been 100% effective at it.
Beginner's luck!
This company is not worth that much. This is some derivatives market magic accounting.

How about building a transit system that lets me get from new york to california in under EIGHT HOURS!
We've had that since the 50s...

...it's unfortunate that you chose to comment as AC.
Why? What makes that so? Is identity that important? Is the message meaningless without it? I do not understand that sentiment.
No, a good deed would see this money used for fixing the public school system...
Yeah, I'm a dreamer.
But you're not the only one...
It's not a product.
The bottling industry disagrees. And contaminated tap water is good for business.

That's right! If it's good for business, then full speed ahead. Damn the torpedoes!
I'm sure the bottled water industry doesn't mind all this contamination in your tap water. Making it drinkable is unfair competition.

Ah, so it reboots... Whatever happened to the reset button? We need those back.
That's like throwing money away!
And what happens to lithium-ion when you keep them topped off all the time? Even better than lead-acid is nickel–iron, but you'll need another house.
Netscape? It is the one true browser, with a truly stable interface that makes a complete mockery of all the new shit
Snowden, et al. have revealed more about our society and its individuals than our government.
when the democrats and republicans are voted out.
But, are they winning elections? It seems that's all you have to do, and then just sign whatever is put on your desk.
