Canada, and about a dozen other nations filed a suite with the WTO claiming the country of origin labels broke WTO rules by favoring domestic products. The WTO agreed. The U.S had little choice but to drop the labels or face billions in retaliatory measures. In any case the idea that you can tell if food is safe by a country of origin label is simply laughable. There are dozens of U.S food product recalls a year, some which have spread diseases that have killed people. What we really need is to improve the FDA's inspection regime to ensure that all food in supermarket shelves is safe.

I think it is important to note that even with this system there still a secession and a subsequent Civil War that was triggered by the election of a divisive President.
There is dozens of e-cigarette manufacturers and hundreds of products. As usual with e-cigarette research, they are simply lumped in together without any information on the number of devices or list of products tested. In of itself nicotine is no more dangerous then the worlds most used psychoactive drug, caffeine. I do agree on one point thou, there is a very real need for a detailed ingredient list on e-cigarette refills and a warning that the additives are untested and maybe harmefull.
You do realize that comments like yours is why Trump won, right? People don't like being called douche bags, and they will dig in their heels just to make a point.
If it were only true; Trump's lewd remarks about "feeling able to grab them (women) by the pussy” because “When you’re a star they let you do it” should at the very least cost him the vote of every women that heard the widely reported tape. Yet he received %42 of the women vote and an astounding %64 of the non-college educated white women vote. People focusing on things that support their believes while rationalizing away ones that don't, works on Politics as well
The contract between the DOE and the teachers Union requires them to prove in arbitration their allegations against the teachers. If it fails to do so then the teacher goes back to work. Under autocratic mayor Bloomberg, the DOE devised a diabolical scheme where instead of being returned to their regular duties these teachers where placed in these "rubber rooms" for the purpose of forcing them to resign by wearing down their mental state.

I work in the US for a German company that is partially unionized in the EU. The US unions are nothing like the German ones.
People sleep on the job,.
I guarantee you that there isn't a single Union labor contract in history that doesn't explicitly list "sleeping on the job" as a valid reason for termination.
sabotage production,
Forget Union contracts, you are decidedly in criminal law territory on this one
and generally don't care about their job or the company.
Trust and respect is not a given, it must be earned both by people and Corporations
They have no repercussions because the union protects them.
The contract signed between the Corporation and the Union requires that sufficient proof be provided for alleged infraction. If it comes to a managers word against a worker then figuring out who is telling the truth is impossible without resorting to a gut-feeling based judgment call
Advice from those who have succeeded is nearly always worth listening to, but you need to be very careful about how much value you give to that advice. The economy and workforce simply changes too much from generation to generation today.
Unfortunately it is usually much hard to tell which people ended up overcoming their own horrible believes (now offered up as advice,) instead of succeeding because of them
But if your day job is coding, you can work on your startup code at your day job. Even if your boss walks by, he is just going to see a screen full of code, and assume you are working hard. I did this for six months, and then right before I quit I got a glowing performance review and a raise. They never realized what was actually going on.
So basically you were stealing from your employer for 6 months. Bravo!
Maybe your mommy never taught you this, but rule as to whether an action is moral is not whether you can get away with it.
You are abusing the word "stealing" much like the MPAA/RIA do. Was he being underproductive? Absolutely! Was he stealing? Not without stretching the definition into extra-dimensions, twisted loops
Inequality exists even among primates that have no concept of material possessions. It simply comes down to the most important element in animals with a social structure and that's the status in the social hierarchy. High ranking chimpanzees get "benefits" such as offerings of food, extra grooming, etc while low ranking ones are often bullied and abused.
The small hunter-gatherer groups are quite possibly the most unequal of all societies as the leader or leaders have essentially absolute authority over the other members of the group
Manufacturer's closed the printers with ink being cheaper then a a ink refill package loophole long ago.
Look at the box of that cheap printer and you will find the words "includes starter pack ink cartridges." Those starter pack cartridges often contain as little as 1/3 the ink of the regular cartridges
One of the most insightful comment in "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" by Robert Kiyosaki was when Rich Dad said: "Why climb the corporate ladder when you can own it?"
If you're working for a corporation and expect the corporation to make you rich, you're doing it wrong.
A corporate job should pay the bills while you nurture a side business that will eventually replace your income from the corporate job. Work as an owner, not an employee.
If you believe your "side business" can compete with people that quit their corporate jobs to commit completely to their business, then you are completely delusional. Even most people that dedicate themselves to their new business will unfortunately end up seeing it fail. Unless of course by "side business" you mean "rich daddy" buying a successful small business for you to play with
Can someone actually sell (or exchange depending on whether you believe it to be currency or not) a couple of million in bitcoins without the price crashing?
LOL. Since when do the big city Liberals have any love of the solid red farming heartland? According to the Conservatives the Democrats are trying to ruin farmers with EPA rules on pesticide use and fertilizer runoffs
Not a Republican. While I do believe that the climate is changing and is affected by man, I do believe that it is also cyclical. These cooling and warming periods come and go over time. Humans have likely accelerated this to the detriment of the planet. Quite a few experts on both sides of the argument believe we are actually headed for a period of cooling.
Earth's climate is dynamic and always the process of change however baring natural disasters such as large meteors or supervolcanos, natural climate change occurs in geologic timescales (at least thousands of years). What we are witnessing is Climate Change occurring practically within a human's lifespan
In general the less educated Conservatives tend to believe that the whole Climate Change things is a conspiracy against economic development by the "business hating Liberals," while the more educated ones tend to discount certain aspects of the body of research, such as how much influence human activity has on Climate change or the severity of the effects of Climate change will have on the World, especially the United States. With the research getting stronger and stronger with each new study it will get harder and harder for them to keep up the facade that the research is just not convincing
The turnaround time for a plane is far less then for a reusable rocket. My speculation is that the Air force wants this technology in case of all out war with a nation with advanced rocket technology (Russia or China) that would target and wipe out large chunks of its satellite systems. There is little that can be done to protect satellites in orbit, my belief is that the air-force solution is to put them up faster then they can shoot them down. Some of the "satellites" can even be dummies for the simple purpose of depleting enemy anti-satellite ordinance
On the flip side this makes going after GPL infringement even more difficult. The patent holder (developer) will have to retain lawyers and incurs travel expenses wherever the Infringing corporation is located. Few developers have that kind of time and resources
>> patent infringement suits can be filed only in courts located in the jurisdiction where the targeted company is incorporated
I see a bunch of high-fiving going on in the Delaware legal community (because that's where a lot if not most of targeted companies will be incorporated). Also a lot of high-fiving in corporate legal departments, who asked their companies to (re)incorporate in Delaware to take advantage of its corporate-friendly laws.
"Sorry Delaware legal community" but Patent law is Federal law under and Federal Courts jurisdiction. State laws are of no consequence in the proceedings

80% of Millennials Say They Want To Buy a Home -- But Most Have Less Than $1,000
The correlates well with the statistic that 100% of Millennials are entitled whiners.
Peeps, this is what you get when you refuse to believe in all the things that got your parents and grandparents what they have.
Your post correlates perfectly with the statistics that people get more grumpy/needy/whiny with each passing year.
Now go give yourselves more tax-breaks and add trillions to the National Debt the "entitled whiners" will have to pay off
