Where did you read that the clerk at the fast-food joint gets to decide who is eligible for the program?
Most likely the state has to enroll the eligible and enable their EBT cards for such transactions. They already know who is enrolled because of disability or homelessness
“In some areas, restaurants can be authorized to accept SNAP benefits from qualified homeless, elderly, or disabled people in exchange for low-cost meals.” Note that based on the published information, the Restaurant Meals Program (as this initiative is known) is available only for homeless, elderly, or disabled recipients of EBT. Furthermore the article states that the program is only widely available in a handful of states Florida, Michigan, Arizona, and California. The vast majority of states do not participate at all.
In short the program is optional for states and limited to those that aren't able to prepare their own meals
If it is simply "about getting rid of people who have chosen not to live within the bounds of a civilized society" then what exactly is the difference between life without possibility of parole and execution?
People in prison are by definition outside of civilized society
First DRM now fracturing. Instead of banding together to provide a real alternative to Cable they are all fighting for the table-scraps. Did anyone expect anything else
In Windows and in LInux there are 2 types of drivers, kernel space and user space. The user space hook through a standardized interface which rarely changes and drivers will often work even across major kernel releases. Kernel space drivers can hook however they like even in methods never intended for that purpose and for this reason even minor kernel changes can break them badly. You try hooking a 20 year old chipset driver in Windows and tell me how that goes.
Horrible drivers were a major source of instability in Windows until Microsoft started the WHQL (Windows Hardware Quality Labs testing ) program and literally started testing and approving drivers themselves. If you try to install a non WHQL approved driver in Windows you will get a scary prompt warning you that the driver might make the system unstable. The Linux community will not test drivers but they will be more than happy to maintain and update your drivers if you GPL them
Infringement litigation does not look at the validity of a patent. If Nintendo wants to challenge its validity in court it has to sue in a separate trial, if the patent gets invalidated than the litigation trial ruling gets vacated
It is common for European and Chinese states to put money to fund large private projects the big difference with the U.S is that they demand and receive equity or stock on what is essentially a joint venture instead of just hoping that someday their investment will be recouped thru taxes
The term 'Nazi' meant a member of the Nazi (National Socialist German Workers) Party. During the war the term Nazi was used to refer to pretty much all Germans. After the war the term was mostly used to describe members of Hitlers government and the Party paramilitary wings, the SA (brown shirts) and the SS. today I believe we can all agree that it has now a become a generic term for their core beliefs in racist nationalism although it is often used in daily speech to describe authoritarian figures.
Sorry but your argument doesn't hold water considering that Germany pays twice the rate per kilowatt-hour while still maintaining a booming economy with healthy manufacturing base. The way they do this is simple: Efficiency, as price gets higher the incentives to get smart about waste and savings also go up. Even thou prices are double the average German household electric bill is some %8 lower then in the U.S
Grandma's "free child care" is anything but free. Grandma Social Security and Medicare account for %40 of the Federal Budget. Medicare alone costs $588 Billion a year, and please don't give me that line about them having paid their dues. You average retiree receives 3X the benefits of what they paid into the system. Grandma's benefits could easily cover Free Universal child care and then some
from a macroeconomics point of view the ideal human lifespan would be late fifties. At that point productivity is going down and healthcare costs are going up. Furthermore once retired you are nothing more then a burden to the economy, and with the spiraling healthcare costs and longer lifespans this is only getting worst. Not sure why the people running these study believe that people living longer is automatically an economic benefit.
In any case as the old saying goes one in the hand is worth 2 in the bush. They have a very clear moral argument that less pollution means better health for you and your children, why muddy the whole thing up with macroeconomics
To further elaborate, this app actually has a pretty good chance of succeeding if it can execute. Most promoters are very unprofessional due to largely being addicted to alcohol/drugs (hazard of the occupation I guess) and owners/managers would love nothing more than have security show them the door
Actually all this app is trying to do is automate the middle man known as "promoters." In most cases only the promoters get paid, the guests they bring only get free food and drinks, by shifting some of the procedes they hope the in-crowd and aspiring-models will decide to go with them instead of traditional promoters
There is no easy solutions however one must realize that simply subsidizing wages indefinitely to prevent automation is a complete folly. At some point it becomes cheaper to simply increase the minimum wage, save on no longer needing to subsidize the retained workers, collect taxes on the newly created high-skill jobs and refocus that money to retrain and help those laid off to find new jobs.
BLM protests the brutal tactics used by Police departments in impoverished black neighborhoods and especially the killing of unarmed black people by police authorities. Some of these incidents have been committed by black police officers and some of these departments are headed by black captains. The movement is not directed at any particular race even thou it may seem that way since the black community is underrepresented in the countries police forces. Now I am sure you can find some BLM supporter that made some racist statement but that doesn't speak for the movement in large
I am guessing as a High School student not needing a living wage you weren't working 40+ hour weeks. If you don't need a lving wage but want extra income you can simply work a Part Time job instead of Volunteering.
Also please do realize that the government assistance to help those working 40+ hours a week and still belowe the poverty line comes out of our taxes
%30 of the entire labor market is low-wage service jobs. The idea that these entry-level jobs are just stepping stones to higher level positions is a complete Conservative delusion. There is just not enough jobs up the ladder for them. The vast majority will be stuck at the bottom their entire working life
No, they're not using the Gym business model. I think people aren't understanding that MoviePass is independent of the theaters you go to... it would be like paying a third party $10/month to go to Planet Fitness, and then that third party pays Planet Fitness $10 every time you used the gym. Even if half the people never went, if everybody else went only twice per month, the third party would only break even (actually lose money due to overhead). The business model makes no sense.
At your %50 that is still a unworkable ~3500 regular users per location. While they don't release figures some estimates say over %90 of their customers use their locations less then once a month. At those type of margins MoviePass would be doing quite well if it can attract and retain enough customers
They are using the PlanetFitness style business model. PlanetFitness has about 1400 locations and an estimated 10 million members. Their facilities couldn't possibly accommodate the over 7000 members per location, their business plan relies on selling very cheap $10 monthly subscriptions to people that rarely if ever actually use the service.
Nationwide Statistics show a %20 pay difference. That difference doesn't go away even if you adjust for things like education. If Physicist saw that kind of statistical differences at a comparative sample size at the LHC they would be absolutely sure that matter/antimatter symmetry is broken
You do realize that is perfectly reasonable for Jews to hate Nazi's because of their actions.
It is perfectly reasonable for black people to hate the KKK because of their actions.
Women have every right to be pissed that they don't make the same money as men for the same jobs, yet you and like minded people simply discount their perfectly legitimate concerns by branding them "feminist haters"

Is there any technical reasons these addons can't be moved to the new API?
