So you know that this something doesn't exist because we have failed to detect it when it was named as it is because we have yet been able to detect it?
As if anything will happen anyway. First thing will be to set up a commission and staff it with representatives mostly from the Earth-destroying asteroids (Human Rights Commission) or they will endlessly discuss whether the asteroid really represents a danger or not (Security Council).
So, you would prefer that your employer reduce your salary to cover the tax that you want collected but are unwilling to pay and you will be better off because why?
Universal you say? How are you going to get the guy selling guns out the back of his van in that little alley to run a background check to verify that his drug dealing customer is allowed to purchase the handgun? If you don't solve that one, then you don't have universal background checks; you only have more hassling of law-abiding citizens.
"I couldn't deal with the bureaucracy. You have to take this class, you can't take this class, bleah bleah bleah... " I couldn't deal with the bureaucracy. You have to make this, the app has to do this, the customer wants that. blah blah blah...
that was located in some other country. The guy who said his opponent was the devil incarnate for having outsourced a few jobs here and there decides to outsource the implementation of his political legacy. And his worshippers eat it up as so innovative.
Then why do i have to pay for my insurance while those 30 million won't. Why do millions get a nice little government issued debit card that is magically refilled every month that allows them to purchase food at the grocery store and convenience store but I don't? I don't think that equal protection means what you think it means.
So you say that there is nothing wrong. One of my personal health-care providers has been trying to figure out how this will affect his practice and he can't. So I say there is something wrong.
When an insurance company makes public that it noticed the government web-site had signed the same person up for three different plans then something is wrong.
Is Switzerland more or less advanced than the US? Does it have better or worse health-care than the US? How different is the Swiss system from the US system?
"I'm not sure that counts as a limited resource, since it doesn't explain why we can't scale up on doctors or nurses to meet the demand. After all, we do have unemployment." How many unemployed doctors and nurses can you point to (besides ones laid off for misappropriating medications and such)? Do you really want the newly unemployed rear tire installer from the Ford factory diagnosing your chest pain? How about the inner-city high-school dropout?
When flying to the interior you are probably on a small enough plane that the weight distribution actually matters. The weight of the passengers is too small relative to the weight of the cargo and aircraft on larger airliners to have to worry about distribution.
I read Dcnjoe60's comment to say that his preference would be for airlines to impose an additional fee on those who have more chance of causing their fellow passengers some discomfort by not being able to remain in their allotted seat. He did admit that the airlines do care about his extra weight.
A real asshole would say that Dcnjoe60 is only trying to look out for himself at the expense of others. More rational folk would realize that Dcnjoe60's plan helps short people as much as it does tall people unless all short are also fat people. I have some personal observations that suggest that last bit to be a false premise.
I always thought ditching was the intentional, controlled but unscheduled landing on water. I would call the unintentional ones crashes.
For instance, Capt.Sullenberger intentionally ditched his plane into the Hudson River. It was very intentional and briefly planned but was considered an unscheduled landing.
"not nearly the level of outrage" That is because you long ago accepted the fact that the government is your mommy and should have complete control over your lives. You never gave up the monarchy and simply transferred some of the power into a group of people that are not the monarch.
In contrast, the US gave up the monarchy and lived for a while under the premise that the government is not our mommy. The people started getting this feeling that it would be better if the government were our mommy and we are desperately trying to "catch up." Some of us still don't want to "catch up." That is what all the commotion is about.

Fuel taxes generally don't reduce much of anything except otherwise discretionary money of citizens.

Same thing as college.
I'm fairly certain that the few who have gone that route were jailed for small violations of the law.
Only in colleges that have no connections to industry.
Correct. Even Penny was smart enough to only claim that her phone was as smart as the smart girls.
The really sad part is that it is just another day on the job.

Including a member of the House of Reps from Wisconsin who voted for Obamacare with the claim that it would be as good as Medicare.

No real change? False.

tell that to US Airways Flight 1549.

Don't believe me. Then you will have to believe Joce640k below.
epine has got to be making that Schiphol incident up and he didn't do a very good job. Everyone knows that only Americans are overweight/oversized.

Considering that being an elder doesn't get you paid, why would you apply to be one?
