Reminds me of Costco vs SAMS.. Costco has a union, with benefits making $17+ an hour vs SAMs minimum wage part-timers told to make up the difference through welfare.
Yeah.. and those automated compact food factories have no idea if they've been infested with roaches or rodents or if a bottle of industrial solvent is leaking into the milkshake machine.. progress!
We also had much much higher tax rates, because that generation understood that wars have to be paid for and letting your previous enemies fester in devastation is both counter to economic prosperity and a recipe for future strife. Domestic economic issues were more a factor of retooling from war production back to civilian production, with commiserate layoffs as wartime factories were shut down.
Society thinks people should have a minimum standard of living. Great! I agree. Then society should pay for it. Stop forcing employers of low-skill workers to bear the weight of wealth redistribution. Put it in the tax code, which is more directly under the control of society.
Then the oligarchs who want to scrape every cent out of the public's pockets pay for Senators to rewrite the tax code to redistribute it back into their pockets.
That's probably because you're a terrible person, and the workers, who put up with terrible people all day, recognize it and treat you accordingly.
Be polite, be jovial and use some empathy (if you are capable of that) to realize sometimes mistakes happen and they can be resolved without punching, and your restaurant visits will be much nicer.
If you didn't earn it from your own hard labour, then you're not successful, you're a parasite. We have an entire economic/corporate heirarchy built on the concept that you get paid more the less actual work you do. Shareholders, managers, executives, CEOs, inheritors, landlords... All parasites.
Ayn Rand in the hizzouse everybody! Woot Woot!! Now shut the fuck up and go collect your welfare check.
No, I think they'll buy products from each other and pretty much ignore those unwilling to admit the world has changed, unwilling to change along with it and unwilling or incapable of meeting those changes to improve their own futures.
If they're lucky one of their conservative buddies will give all their tax money to some corporation that will expect them to work 7 days a week in some factory with no hope of advancement or even a raise, really, as all attempts to improve their salaries will be met with declarations of "Parasites!" and threats to offshore to China. Like how auto companies already do in the South.
Executive orders in the face of a Congress & Senate that outright refuse to even talk about the issues you want heard is one thing. Writing more than all other presidents in the last 50 years because you really wish you were a dictator and not bothering to even ask the legislature who is your own party and holds majorities in both Congress and the Senate is quite another.
Also, taking something you hated when the other guy did it and going completely wild with it when you're in power, is not winning. It's just being a ginormous hypocrite.
that is what happens when you scream "ist!" about everyone you disagree with, soon nobody gives a shit because you have used the term so often it has become meaningless.
The parts of the US that identifies as liberal feels exactly the same way about conservatives and the term's "snowflake", "cuck", "triggered" and.. really anything that falls out of your mouths to be honest.
Trumpers quake with the knowledge that those successful Dems will retire with their stock portfolios into their underpopulated economically devastated wastelands, create boutique little shops that tolerate LGBTQ people and hire them or their kids (who might learn it's acceptable to be LGBTQ! or to tolerate people who are different!) and then how will they be able to be dicks to them then?
Yeah, Cons never play the "Heads I win, Tails you're a triggered snowflake" game.. or just the "Fake, I won, it was rigged, and I have data from Alex Jones to prove it!" game..
Yeah... no. A half competent lawyer will shoot that down before you even finish submitting it to the court, if it ever came to a trial. You can't call a gun a pillow and tell a judge you just had a 'pillow' fight, not a shoot out.
If it did come to some sort of investigation, they'd demand logs to your equipment to see what it's being used for. If you run any kind of closed source software there's a company that does audits for compliance (Business Software Alliance) and they have been known to show up with police to do audits.
Don't forget however, that every dollar they spend in figuring out this sort of treatment can be recouped later when the technology is perfected and they get FDA permission to start treating other more common diseases. This is proof of concept and easing the idea of messing with our DNA into a world that's still dodgy over GMO foods.
Up until the recent consumer push for wireless earbuds and bluetooth devices, hearing aids were a small market with small R&D budgets, proportionately. They still beat most bluetooth devices on longevity and size though. The question is, have they been gouging prices or are they reasonable for their particular market and the features they offer.
As for your idea, depends on what kind of patent portfolios you'd have to work around most likely, as the hearing aid mfgs. aren't going to just go away. Also too cheaply sourced earbuds can have distorted and uneven sound.
It seems Bose has something close to what you're looking for: The Verge but they're not exactly fit in your ear sized.
Actually, you do have a right to listen to any music you want, any way you want. Copyright is supposed to be a limited period where your right is suspended, so the creator can seek compensation. It was never envisioned or expected to be a perpetual lock on artistic works and has been greatly abused by the music industry.
No, Bernie and the Bros showed up, said "You're welcome!" to the DNC and then got extremely confused that the DNC membership was focused on their candidate and not Bernie. That's the difference. They wanted a participation win.
That's funny.. I don't recall Jill Stein jumping on the Dem's ticket to run her election.
But then Stein is a Green and has an actual platform and party. Bernie was just a one trick pony (other than GIVE IT FOR FREE!!! did he really have anything else to say?) and the fact he couldn't build his own party kind of says a lot.
Sanders was a d*** who was happy being an independant until he wanted votes so he jumped onto the Dem's bandwagon and now just whines about how he was treated. Screw him and his opportunistic elderly ass and all the bernie hos who thought they were entitled to win. He's STILL not a member of the DNC btw.

Yeah - that was awesome!

Whelp.. the Trump trainwreck just keeps on a rollin'!
At least Reagan, Clinton, Bush & Obama didn't nominate ghost-hunting bloggers who support the KKK openly and have no legal experience whatsoever...
#MAGA? #AlexJonesSaidItSoItsTrue! Russian bots carpet bombing forums for Trump?
Depends on what Federal judge they get in front of... Trump's judges or ones that passed the bar and know the laws.
Yeah, Cons never play the "Heads I win, Tails you're a triggered snowflake" game.. or just the "Fake, I won, it was rigged, and I have data from Alex Jones to prove it!" game..

The human equivalent is don't bother because this thread is full of pedants and ysomadbro? dumbasses just trying to troll everyone.
