Let's go through the concise points to make this easy for people: He lied and tried to cover it up. He got caught, he resigned. That's good, his other option would have been to be fired for: Lying to the VPOTUS, and in turn POTUS. That means despite all the previous administrations claims of "Russia is the puppet behind Trump" that's it guys -- that's all they could find. And he's gone.
Now to the fun stuff: This was done at the behest of the previous administration. This is stuff that the current administration didn't have access to until after inauguration, and was likely withheld from the current administration(on-going investigation). There's the possibility that this was also done via an illegal call tap. There's also the possibility that this was done by simply going back through his records too.
Despite what you think this is a win. And that means the administration is clean...guess you're gonna need some new conspiracy theories. It also means that the administration values integrity and truth. Ask yourself if this was the Obama administration or Clinton. What would have happened? Nothing. They likely would have laughed over it, and there wouldn't even be a footnote on page E27 on it. And you Ratzo would have been right there applauding the other administration for their actions and having a giant blackmail target.
That's a good plan, unfortunately in many cases getting companies or even government to pay for it is next to impossible. I know of local and parts of provincial governments here in Canada that use 7-day round-robin backups, and there is no off-site backups at all. And it's because they believe it's a "waste of money" and any type of loss of the data is impossible.
Not sure why you're bringing up Trump in this discussion.
If you think this has something to do with Trump, you're just a partisan hack. The real question you should be asking is why California ignored this for decades(there were problems in the 1980's that were ignored). Why the state threw money at illegals and pet projects, then insuring their infrastructure was sound. And at the end of the day who's going to be responsible. I'll give you a hint: It won't be the feds or Trump. This is all directly on the hands of California, their in-action, and their mismanagement.
PC appropriateness is relative. For example, if I called a Trump-voting evangelical a "sky-man-fairy-tale-worshiping nutcase" they will have a fit. That's my non-PC way of describing their religion.
No, that'd just be you being an asshole. If on the other hand, if they demand that Trump-voting evangelicals were callled "worshippers of a higher supreme being of the god of mankind" and if you don't then you're a bigot. You'd have a point.
If you can't figure out the difference between the two, you probably understand less of just how infected PC culture has become as a form of "gotcha grievance mongering." Which is then also used to target peoples jobs, lifestyles, and anything else that the PC crowd gets upset over.
A persons actions are conspiracy theories? Explains a lot of reasons for you posting the way you do. Shitty people doing shitty things, because they have the "approval" of those above them isn't a conspiracy theory. Just a FYI. It just means there's a lot of shitty people in control of the organization, and they operate it more as a vendetta systems then a business.
Nah I don't pay attention to pizzagate, though I find that rather funny. But did you hear that there's been over 1300 people arrested in the US in the last 3 weeks for creating, manufacturing child porn, nearly 700 kids rescued to boot? No? That's because it's not really being reported in the media outside of the local area papers where it's happening. Or 2 gigantic raids in the EU with another 200+ people and nearly 100 kids rescued. For someone like me who has a passing interest in law, and friends who are LEO's in Canada and the US? Those numbers are staggering in scope and scale. Normally it's 10-30 people, 1-2 kids things like that.

Just because you weigh the size of a small calf, and smell of bitter cheese. Doesn't mean some of us, even with crippling injuries don't get out and play hockey a couple of times a week.
Jabbing aside, the main reason why playboy dumped nudes was because they put a new "feminist editor" in who knew exactly what was needed for the magazine. And people stopped buying. GQ another men's magazine has for the last couple of years been pulling a "it's all white mens faults" bullshit after they put the same type of asshole in place, needless to say they're not doing very good. It's not limited to print, sites like Esquire are doing the same. And again, suffering for it. People don't like identity politics, and they even less like it when said identity politics tells one particular group of people they're responsible for *all* of the worlds ills and they're all rapists.
Perhaps people are realizing when your market is global, you don't necessary have to be in the Bay area to develop; indeed, when you consider overheads, it seems silly, as there's good programmers everywhere.
The only reason companies stay in the Bay area is because of connections and the ability to quickly find venture capital. If that wasn't an issue you wouldn't see this going on at all.
The best way to upset them is by being a rule-lawyer. The ultimate troll is to make an argument based on an ambiguity in Wikipedia law, which then causes the other lawyers to turn on each other.
Might have been true a decade ago, but it's not now. Not only are editors(along with power editors) fully broken, but so is the administration to the point where they'll allow power editors unrestrained abuse as long as they're promoting what the administration allows. And they'll allow that until it reaches the point where people complain and threaten to withhold donations, then shitcan or temp ban the power editor who will then use a meat puppet to continue their work. The best examples I can think of off the top of my head are RyulongGamaliel and Mark Bernstein.
Fuck friends, right? Prostituting for them, simply disgusting.
Yes, because when someone claims to be a "consumer advocate" and standing up against that exact same corruption in the industry? Well we should just toss our ethics out the fucking window when it's "our" friends.
Third, 9/11 happened and many people think that everyone getting a trophy affects kids more than being raised by parents affected by this tragedy and the subsequent clamp-down by US authoritarians.
That's because it does. It instills the idea that no matter what, you'll be given something by someone in power. People who work hard to gain a position/skill/ability are less likely to be cowed. If you hand things to kids, they don't learn to stand up to authority when they're treated unfairly. They simply learn that "if I wait, I'll get my own thing in time. And if I don't, I'll just stomp my feet until I do." In turn, raising kids and telling them that they're the "most special one around." Well that does nothing but create narcissists. Put the two of them together, and you get a good explanation of a lot of millennial's that follow social justice.
Doesn't work like that. We have this system in Canada, it's called "TFW" or temporary foreign worker. It leads directly to wage depression in the jobs where a company can import labor. Here in Canada it started with fruit picking, these days the jobs which used to be menial like janitorial are being taken over. Those imported workers are being paid 1/3 of the min. wage. Companies then start pushing harder until employees leave, then claim they "can't find workers." Then start claiming they need TFWs.
An example: The local walmarts in SW Ontario used to be cleaned by an in-house crew. Walmart started pushing the crews harder, demanding more work, cutting back on hours, etc. People quit, walmart claimed they couldn't find workers. Farmed the work out to another company that already had and could get more TFW's. See how easily that works. Now they're paying 1/3 the cost, and of course the stores are 1/3 as clean. But think of those savings!
There's plenty of charity in the US to keep your family from actually starving, so that's a bit hyperbolic.
There's plenty of charities in Ontario, Canada too. If you need to see what high energy prices lead to you, you can look here as well. Also note all those charities are nearly empty, and the ones that exist primarily to keep you from freezing to death in the winter ran out of money in December. During of one of the milder winters we've had in the last decade.
No I'm saying that UBI would fail because government polices have taken a path of gutting taxable income to the point where UBI would be unsustainable. If average people are already pressed to the point where they can't afford basic necessities now, and businesses have already packed up and left for elsewhere. Where does a government get the money to implement such a system without fundamentally breaking society.
Well let's knock out the first myth that the BC Liberal Party is right-of-center. That's not true in the least, it's left of center. And in many cases it's further left of center then the federal liberal party. The only saving grace for BC right now is that the liberals there pander headily enough to the rural voters to ensure power, which isn't happening in Ontario. Now let's talk about the Reform party, which effectively split the vote which is why they gained power. They went from a rural party to a "populist" party for a reason. This isn't hard to figure out, it's also the same reason why we're seeing what we are in the US.
The governments of BC and Ontario have both been in power over a decade, the problem is that the liberals in both provinces were able to successfully pander to cities in their last round of elections and hold to the majority status. It should also be noted when looking at BC, that the liberal government also backed out of what they had promised to rural ridings after they had won the election. Something that didn't happen in Ontario at all. Rather the ON Liberals pandered directly to the cities while the vast majority of the province went PC -- the goodies promised to cities won out. FYI it wasn't worsened by Harper. It was worsened by Chretien. Harper simply used what was already in place, the media simply painted him as the "new big meanie" because the Liberals had lost. This is the same reason why they're falling all over him, and fainting at the mere sight of him even though he's accomplished nothing worthwhile and actually degraded freedoms and speech in Canada.
Mashiki, many people don't sit down and do the math of what it costs them to live and work in a metropolis. I did and figured that living in a certain well-known major city I'd have to ask a salary that the market would not provide. Working and living in a small town however looked entirely different on the financial side: _much_ lower living costs, commuting with the bike (costs = zero).
Most people don't sit down and do the costs of pretty much anything. But let's take your commuting costs from say SW Ontario. Unless you're in great shape, you're not going to be biking 40km one-way every day for work. That's the average commute here. A lot of people don't understand the actual differences or just how uniquely different living and working is in Canada. The only other place comparable really is parts of Japan and Australia.
You transparently understand neither the American nor the EU system, which leaves the rest of your argument in question.
No, I get the system perfectly fine. *You* don't understand that I was making a point of what the system here in Canada is like if applied to the rest of the world. I'll wait for you to catch up.
There's a phrase we use to describe this; it's called making shit up.
I look forward to a "refutation" involving nothing but irrelevant links to weird blogs.
The word you're looking for is "allegory" and when you come to Canada -- and if you actually have the marketable skills that allow you to work here. You'll understand what I'm talking about in 8 seconds.
I even work 32 hours, which the boss needs to approve, but according to the law 32 hours is still full-time employment which means a bank for example can no deny me a loan because I don't work a full 40 hour week.
Things would have to fundamentally change here in Canada for instance, especially in big cities and surrounding areas. There are places like Toronto, Vancouver, etc where working 50-60hrs/week at two jobs@$14-19/hr($10-14eur/$8-12GBP) is just barely scraping by. I'm sure someone will say well why don't they just move to a smaller town, or commute or something. It's because in many cases those smaller towns and cities have no jobs. The commuting system either doesn't exist, or is so cost-prohibitive that you'd actually be making less money. For some people to make it they'd have to commute over 150km every day, and pay $100/day or more in just transit/parking/etc. Round that out with the costs of energy going through the roof, more companies packing up and leaving? Now you've got problems. And now dealing with governments like those in Ontario and BC which are fundamentally broken, but supported by the big cities because of what those governments hand them.
To explain to people in Europe: All of Europe votes for MEP's, all areas have their own interests. But Berlin has a higher concentration of people so the EU simply caters completely to Berlin. Now they ignore the rest of the EU but raises taxes, add more fees, energy prices go through the roof directly due to government polices(60% increase in less then a decade), cut transfer payments, and people in Berlin don't get why "you simply don't move" or "suck it up." For Americans: The house, and the senate are voted on by every state. But only except NY and CA get hand outs, the rest are ignored or get token handouts just before an election. Or to put it simply, that's why you have an electoral college to break electoral power. No such system exists here.
But, I didn't engage in any of those. Don't blame those things on people that never did those things.
Not talking about that. Rather the article(and author) painting a "glowing picture of ye olde primitive days before whitey" and so on. Don't forget that the media and progressives like to romanticize the whole "noble savage" thing. The reality is people are shitty, and people do shitty things, and people do shitty things to each other. Trying to paint a history in the past like the author did with "subsistence" bullshit is nothing but bullshit. This isn't an isolated case, you can even see revisionist bullshit trying to creep into stuff like hadrian's wall, where people try to paint stories about how African's are a core segment of British History and so on(cuz Romans had legions from Africa, thus there were absolutely 100% Africans in Britain and that makes it true). That in itself is nothing but someones historical fap-fantasy to show how diverse and progressive they are.
It's the "noble savage" narrative. You see that a lot with regards to natives here in North America too. People like to pretend that they didn't engage in genocide, mass-rape, mass-slavery, clear cutting of forests, clear-plains burning, mass-murder of native species(note names like smashed in head buffalo jump and so on).
If it weren't Mashiki, I'd say that it was a Poe's Law performance. But that guy's posting history reveals such a delusional state of mind that there can be no doubt that he truly believes that was a persuasive argument. Maybe even the most persuasive possible argument.
Don't worry. I'm sure you also believe members bill 103 isn't going to be used as a blasphemy law here in Canada, and used to silence dissenting view points and speech either. What? You haven't heard about that. Well I'm not surprised, the media is very silent on it. Especially after Trudeau Jr., came out saying that restrictions on speech are necessary.
Or he just think the working conditions aren't very good and things he and his fellow workers should engage in collective bargaining.
From personal experience at a light-medium manufacturing plant and having seen those "referral bonuses" in action? I'm sure they're just doing a great job in pushing for working conditions. This is going way back to the early 00's, but when two people suddenly have high-end sedans and pay off their houses which they're very publicly open about? There's some kind of fuckery going on. Especially when both people were making $14/hr and spent every weekend partying their face off. It happens, and more then people realize. It's also a shitty way of doing things, especially for someone like me who's been union most of their employed life.
So they work for years and then they want to be treated better and therefore they are a UAW plant who is evil and must be destroyed? I'm going to need more than that.
You mean when people dig into their past and find out that they were hired on to directly agitate? I can think of two cases that were reported in the Globe and Mail of people who directly worked for the Teamsters, suddenly left their cushy jobs and went to work on the floor at a brand new manufacturing plant.
Considering he's only an advocate when it doesn't have anything to do with his friends? Meh. If it does have something to do with his friends though? He'll be happy to look the other way and sometimes even shill for them.

So much for "extreme vetting", I guess.
Let's go through the concise points to make this easy for people: He lied and tried to cover it up. He got caught, he resigned. That's good, his other option would have been to be fired for: Lying to the VPOTUS, and in turn POTUS. That means despite all the previous administrations claims of "Russia is the puppet behind Trump" that's it guys -- that's all they could find. And he's gone.
Now to the fun stuff: This was done at the behest of the previous administration.

Despite what you think this is a win. And that means the administration is clean...guess you're gonna need some new conspiracy theories.

Or he just think the working conditions aren't very good and things he and his fellow workers should engage in collective bargaining.
From personal experience at a light-medium manufacturing plant and having seen those "referral bonuses" in action? I'm sure they're just doing a great job in pushing for working conditions. This is going way back to the early 00's, but when two people suddenly have high-end sedans and pay off their houses which they're very publicly open about? There's some kind of fuckery going on. Especially when both people were making $14/hr and spent every weekend partying their face off. It happens, and more then people realize. It's also a shitty way of doing things, especially for someone like me who's been union most of their employed life.
So they work for years and then they want to be treated better and therefore they are a UAW plant who is evil and must be destroyed? I'm going to need more than that.
You mean when people dig into their past and find out that they were hired on to directly agitate? I can think of two cases that were reported in the Globe and Mail of people who directly worked for the Teamsters, suddenly left their cushy jobs and went to work on the floor at a brand new manufacturing plant.
Considering he's only an advocate when it doesn't have anything to do with his friends? Meh. If it does have something to do with his friends though? He'll be happy to look the other way and sometimes even shill for them.
