It could warn you when you are making bad driving decisions such as taking your eyes off the road, and driving with one hand. It could increase awareness of cars that are decelerating as well as let you know when you are tailgating, or speeding, and it can also alert you to disable vehicles which will allow you to move over a lane to give the stranded pedestrian room to work on their car or emergency vehicle to reach the car quickly.
You do know that you are never forced to join the union right, not in a legal sense at least. A company may hire anyone it wants, but as an employee you may be required to pay the union as you receive benefits directly derived from the unions existence.
The reason that SCOTUS struck down that portion of the law is because if it were to allow it to stand, that would be endorsement of the state's ability to codify the necessary documentation for non-citizens to carry with them which could lead to a patchwork of 50 separate laws which creates more problems for non-citizens.
Bullshit. Dropping the minimum wage would do nothing to spur employment. Why would employers higher more people that they don't need even if they could get them at a reduced price? And while there is a small uptick in unemployment associated with a higher minimum wage, it is typically statistically insignificant and creates a transfer of wealth from employers to employees thus driving demand. But don't let macroeconomics get in the way of your Randian world view.
Teenage unemployment is skyrocketing and yet we have some of the lowest minimum wages(adjusted for inflation) the country has seen in its modern history. It's almost like wages have nothing to do with teenage unemployment at this point.
Yes, but having a living wage doesn't exacerbate significantly the problem for young black men, but it does solve many other problems. Australia has a $15+ min. wage, near zero governmental debt, and an economy that runs.
And there isn't a market in the world that is 'free'. At best we have a competitive monopolistic market. I swear, everyone took Intro to Micro and never paid attention to the entire section on why markets fail.
1200/month rent
300/month health insurance
200/month car insurance/renters/life insurance
200/month cell/cable/internet
100/month electricity
That is the basic break down of my budget. I have the cheapest insurance that I can get, the cheapest rent, the cheapest internet and cell service. The only thing we splurge on a little bit is the cable because I enjoy watching sports and the kids love the disney channels.
Total = 2000/month and we haven't even touched gas, food, car repair/maintenance.
11/hr * 40/hr/week * 4.3/weeks/month = $1862/month and that isn't even taking out taxes. Not everyone lives in bumfuck idaho, not everyone is single and at university. Some of us have families and can't just get up and move away when we feel like it.
I love the "if someone cannot support themselves on $12/hr" bullshit.
You know most people support more then just themselves, they have kids, spouses etc.
My wife makes 13 and change an hour. Her "full time" job comes in at 35 hours a week, just enough for her to be considered full time. After taxes and health insurance she brings home 650 every other week. Rent alone is 1200 a month, cheapest in our area, throw in $90 for cell service, another $90 for cable and internet plus another 100 for electricity and we have no money at the end of the month and we have the cheapest health plan they offer and if me, her, or our kids ever got severely sick/injured we'd be screwed. She has an education, in fact graduated top of her class but graduated 2007 as a teacher, so you see where that is going.
The idea that 10, 11, 12, 13, or even 14 or 15 dollars an hour is a living wage is a joke. If I didn't have the Post 9/11 GI Bill coming in on top of her wages we would be going into a massive amount of debt so that I can get my engineering degree.
It should have been good. It was made by Big Huge Games Studio which was bought by 38 and then rebranded as Kingdom. 38 has never created an original IP.
And by well "after" you mean about 30 minutes.
I never looked for injuries in the video anyway, I looked for blood, and guess what, there was none. Not only does the video show this, but the officer searching him had no problem doing so with his bare hands.
That is a big no-no if blood is present.
Easy fix, teachers take attendance still, only oddities need to be investigated; ie. student wasn't absent but isn't in class, check physical log and determine if it is a defective tag.
Where the fuck do you live that you don't pay taxes and everything is run by the free market. You are stupid if you think that the free market is the cure all for all that woes the world. The majority of my economics books are dedicated to why the free market fails. Stop pretending that the solution to every problem is less gov't. Less gov't got us that nice housing bubble, child labor, and the great depression.
It depends. Did he walk in for the sole purpose to spy on his roommate? If the answer is no, then no, if the answer is yes, then yes.
Equating walking in and deliberately using equipment in the room to spy on your roommate is just a terrible analogy. A more analogous analogy would be "peering through the window".
In the latter instance, the roommates privacy is being violated without him having any knowledge of the incident. In the 'walk in' scenario the roommate is aware and has been precluded to his entrance, even if just briefly.
This reminds me of, "World to end tomorrow! Women and minorities hit the hardest!" Rich people don't benefit more from society than anyone else. Probably less if you think about it. The "ultra-rich" as you like to call them, don't drive their cars 6 days a week to work over government paid roads. The don't send their kids to public schools and you won't find them at an airport. They don't visit the library or spend time at public parks and would not be caught dead at a public golf course.
Oh, and while they make up five percent of the population, they pay for half of EVERYTHING the government spends. Sorry, but the top 5% do not take up 50% of the road ways or somehow suck up 50% of the protections the military provides us. They end up paying for the services the other 95% enjoy.
You are right, they don't drive their cars 6 days a week on the roadways, their workers do. Their workers have also been largely educated with public funds. Their assets are protected by not only the police, but also through the judiciary. Also, their employees are able to travel cheaply across the country for business because of the FAA and the airport infrastructure in this country. Not to mention that they too benefit from the FAA and government subsidized small airports in order to fly around in their Gulfstream III. Also their businesses use the roadways and cause more damage to roads then passenger cars.
Now does the above apply equally to all rich people, no absolutely not, but to pretend that they don't benefit the most from government services is just ridiculous. Just because they don't appear to be the primary beneficiary doesn't mean that don't reap ridiculously large ancillary benefits, the most important one being a somewhat functioning society.
Do you have any citation that proves that there is more demand for spectrum then there is spectrum. Why is this an issue only in the US, and why do we have to
a) give it away
or
b) sell it?
The rest of the world is able to do just fine with multiple carriers on a single band or two of spectrum for cell phones. Why can't the US, what makes the US this special case that has made it impossible to operate on a single band.
The problem is this belief that the government can't, and hasn't done anything right ever. The fact on the other hand is the government runs well and has for a long time even though it has been slowly dismantled.
Yes, because the rest of the world doesn't operate mostly on 1 band (900 Mhz). You do realize there are standards for handling phone communications, it is called GSM, you may have heard of it.
Pick up a used 40GB Apple TV and throw Boxee onto it. Then just point it at your SMB share and let it populate. Cheap, queit, and efficient front end that looks good and comes with a remote control. Or wait and see if they can shoehorn Boxee onto the new Apple TV and then you get solid Netflix streaming to boot, or just wait until November and get the Boxee Box retail 199.
That would be a gross reduction from the %400000 you claimed there. Currently both of the major peering cases have their damages limted to $2250, or %2250 the cost of a single song.
And completely screw the men and women of the US armed forces deployed to Afghanistan and Iraq. Not everyone can get a internet connection to their room and the connections that most can get aren't allowed to handle game traffic. So that makes this an easy decision on my part....I have to at worst pirate and at best purchase and patch...either way what I am doing is technically illegal.
When will content providers realize that pirated software/media is not a potential customer. If they wanted to be a customer they would have been one in the first place.

No, cars weigh more today then in 1982 and we get better gas mileage then we did then too by about 3 MPG.
Yes, but having a living wage doesn't exacerbate significantly the problem for young black men, but it does solve many other problems. Australia has a $15+ min. wage, near zero governmental debt, and an economy that runs.

No, those wages are good, everyone else is just getting ripped off.

You assume that the demand for labor is quite elastic, I would argue the opposite, that it is quite inelastic.
