I actually know people who aren't very bright, who are doing much better economically than people with Master's Degrees, because they don't attach stigmas to certain kinds of work that pay more than burger flipping. It is hard nasty work that doesn't require any skill. When you think certain kinds of work are "beneath you" you're already a wage slave.
You're completely free to starve to death and die in the streets.
STOP IT. nobody is dying because they can't drive for Uber. The real wage slavery is caused by government taking up to 50% of your earnings as a baron of the land, you stupid serf.
Yes, I haven't voted for either (R) or (D) in 30 years... partisan. Yes, there is plenty of hypocrisy, and the Ds are worse that the Rs on Election Hypocrisy but they both are hypocritical.
Who was caught doing what?
Ok so now, there is no evidence of any hacking, I thought that was what Obama was looking for. Is he on a wild goose chase or is that some sort of partisan response to an election that will basically undo his whole "legacy?
Not sure what you're point is, other than to assume I am something I am not.
I find it hilarious that you think that "vote fraud" and "hacking" are some how not the same in regards to corrupting the outcome of an election. Does it matter if electing staffers are stuffing ballots https://www.youtube.com/watch?... or using electronic means to do so?
Vote Fraud it Vote Fraud. It is either "mythical" or it is real. There is plenty of hypocrisy by both (R) and (D) here. Its just that the Hypocrsy of the (D) is really clear this time. You're just pissed that they were caught.
"Ousted"could mean "lame duck" and with just over one month to go, he's really lame duck. The Obama legacy is going to be pretty staggering. Double the (unpatriotic) debt. That's it. ObamaCare will be repealed, the court will not reflect his presidency, all those "Pen and Phone" executive orders rescinded...
He's just pissed that "elections have consequences"
While you are correct, some conservatives game the system with government. And you are correct, everyone will game the system. Draw a line, and everyone dances all around that line. The line is arbitrary and means nothing, but we pretend it is some sort of sacred place.
Before you state something as a fact, you might want to check to see if it is so. A "Right" isn't the correct term, even if it was the correct term, it would require some sort of previous example or court case to outline, neither of which has happened here.
Getting off Spinning disks and onto SSDs has increased computing performance much more than processor speeds has. And it isn't even close. We've just been stuck on Spinning drives for so long, that we thought increasing processor speed would solve our problems, when that wasn't the issue at all.
Remember back in the late nineties, when people (mostly stupid liberals) convinced Congress and Clinton to pass a "Luxury Tax" on things like... yachts? Remember what happened to all those industries that were building those things? Do you remember the fanfare when they repealed that tax?
As someone who is in charge of printer services, and google cloud print and such for 15000 users, I can assure you that my goal is to be "Paper Less" as fast as possible. It is an ongoing goal, and hence it isn't "paperless". There are times people still need hard copies, but getting people to print less has to be a sustained effort to educate people on alternatives.
That being said, most teachers still want hard copy versions of student work, because it is faster and easier to grade 30 assignments on paper than it is to do so on digital, but only if you ignore having to haul those papers around to and from schools, passing the assignments out, collecting them, and giving back the graded versions etc etc.
It is all about perception, they don't count certain aspects against their "grading" time, because of the disconnect between managing the assignments and grading them.
I actually saw something on this about a year or so ago, where a movie gave a DVD or Digital Download of the movie you were seeing as part of the ticket, and sold the tickets at a slight premium over normal. From what I recall, it worked very well, and ended up making the movie theater much better profits than Theater and expected DVD/Digital sales of similar movies.
The whole point is that it was quickly shot down because it still wasn't "enough" money. They want Piracy. They need it to justify screwing their existing customers.
Fake news isn't a problem for the "other guy" it is a problem for everyone. For everyone succumbs to it, be it in the form of Brian Williams or National Enquirer. Because one is more readily accepted doesn't make it any less fake. In fact, it may be more dangerous.;)
He doesn't understand the benefits of Deflationary currency. The benefits include less (or no) need for Government support programs (welfare, SS etc). It would require less in taxes, allowing people to keep their earnings (and wealth). It would increase a whole slew of things we really haven't seen in a very long time. Working hard as a youth (when it is easier to "work hard") would pay huge dividends long term for society.
The assumption is that rich people wouldn't spend their Coin, and horde it. This is largely false, as really rich people would buy the comforts that they desire. Catering to the wealthy would be a way to acquire wealth. As opposed to today, working as wage slaves to the wealthy class, buying everything on credit and depending on debt for a lifestyle.
You are correct. Real deflation is caused by money supply not increasing at an appropriate rate to counter increases in productivity and commerce (velocity). BTC is deflationary since most of the Inflation period has long since past. It was HIGHLY inflationary at the beginning, Long term, it was always designed to be deflationary.
Fluctuation in BTC is due to perception, not reality. But since perception is reality, if you buy BTC whenever there is a huge problem with BTC and the exchange prices drop, you'll be correctly interpreting the value of BTC. Those people who buy High and Sell Low are those that have a desire to be popular, but never are.

Real Minimum Wage is 0. What you're asking for is a barrier to entry of $15.

It isn't anywhere close to being a "company town". They aren't requiring you to buy Shell gas, take your car to JiffyLube, tires by Toyo ....
GAWD STOP THE HYPERBOLE!
Next thing your gonna say is Uber is Racist and Sexist.
I am so Partisan, I am a Libertarian!

I'm pretty sure you'd vote for Obama President for Life given the chance. All Hail Obama!

Obama said voter fraud was mythical when he assumed that Clinton would win. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/...
So, which is it, mythical or real ?
Besides, the glaring deficiencies that have been found so far, have been in Clinton's favor. Facts are funny that way.
he has ever right to order such a review.
Before you state something as a fact, you might want to check to see if it is so. A "Right" isn't the correct term, even if it was the correct term, it would require some sort of previous example or court case to outline, neither of which has happened here.
Further this is 100% contrary to what Obama said here: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/...
Funny how something "mythical" became "real" simply because the Democrats lost an election.

Yeah, nobody remembers shit like that.
People game the system in all sorts of ways. Liberals just use government to do it, doesn't make it any better.

I am half convinced that the three Es aren't intentional, but rather the result of really bad management decisions.
Any significant level of incompetence, is indistinguishable from malice. (apologies to Arthur C Clarke)

"With BITCOIN!!!!!" makes it different.
Kind of like patents that are "____________ on the INTERNET!!!!!" are different.
IMHO, this is nothing short of a slashvertisment for a Pump n Dump Scheme.
