I know. Wah, where's my job? China you dumbshit. Why? Because your purchase of cheap disposable goods told the CEOs that expensive, quality goods weren't in demand.
Indeed. Obama should quit trying to deal with these fools. It's 'No' for everything that contains even a small item that the Republicans disagree with. Bipartisan ship means that the right-wing folks need to accept some of the left wing folks' ideas. Instead it's just no no no even when the bills incorporate ideas from the Republican. Hell, Republicans who promised to vote Aye if Item X were placed in the bill still voted Nay!
Check the proposed Republican health care bills. They contain maybe 5% Democrat ideas. Republicans aren't interested in bipartisanship. They want it their way.
Their business model may be going the way of the buggy makers. I've been subjected to far too much advertising online and in the real world lately. I'm tired of it. About 95% of the time the 'content' isn't worth the annoyance and irritation of advertising. So I'll keep blocking ads until your business dies, then I'll go on to do something else. Same with TV. DVR and fast forward.
The federal government taxes everyone. In my state, we only see $0.69 of Federal spending for every $1.00 contributed by a citizen in Federal income tax. Most of the central states see more than $1.00 of Federal spending for every dollar they contribute in taxes.
The state and local taxes that I pay make up for the money being taken from my state by the Federal government to pour into pork programs like farm subsidies. Besides, it's not like we can't buy food from other countries.
And that's very nice that you've been having lower temps where you live. An interesting data point but it doesn't say really contradict the concept of climate change.
You had a very cold day in winter in fly-over country (you're welcome for all the free Federal spending you get at my expense) which totally proves that humans aren't affecting the climate.
With logic like that, I wouldn't hire you to blow the dust out of my servers. You'd probably stick your dick in the fan.
I understand that the energy interests are buying scientists who deny that human activity is causing climate change. Changing technology would hurt or destroy their profit centers.
I mean, look at the invasion of Afghanistan. Yeah, occupying and rebuilding that place was gonna work out just fine. History, what's that? Don't even get me started about Iraq...they didn't even have anything to do with 9/11.
Two decades and what have we got to show for it? A bunch of rich industrialists. We've needed to cut spending for decades, let us start here. There won't be much to defend if the government taxes us to death to pay for these useless toys.
Most of the people railing against 'government handouts' and 'socialism' WRT the gov't supporting the Volt wouldn't say a word against skyrocketing military spending for little effect.
Not saying you are one of those people, but it's hard to listen to such criticism from those who embrace the MIC.

The one ignored in the name of the drug war, among other things, by our court system?
The one that allowed humans to own other humans prior to ammendment?
Yeah, that thing is perfect. Let me worship it as you do.
Lincoln was most assuredly not an Xtian Fundamentalist. I see you are trying to use the "X is just as bad as Y when it comes to Z, so vote Y" fallacy.
The rules and regulations were put in place because unchecked capitalism was worse than government regulation.
Read more Dickens.
The destruction of the European economy and the USA's brief time of ignoring intellectual property rights had nothing at all to do with that.
Let us remember why we have centralized control: the greed of the rich was harming the majority of the citizens.

Ponders Chinese banking system and pegging of currency.

I was with you until you put all the blame on government.
Not only that, but the loans are almost paid off too.
I think Bush was an ass for his responses to 9/11, but TARP seems to all good.
When I judge a site for bias, I like to look at the comments sections. BreitBart's blogspam site seems to only swing one way.
Sorry, the homo-eroticism of military life is not the way I want to raise my son.
All politicians are 'authoritarian' to Internet Libertarians.

After all, threats against the president's life have tripled since Obama was elected ;)
Newer games offer more colors and higher resolution, nothing wrong with that. I'm sure the latest Gods of War would be just as fun in 8-bit 320x200.

That's a long-winded explanation of a remarkably simplistic observation.
The artifical scarcity produced by the scalpers who make it harder for people to find the tickets is important.
Isn't this what TicketMaster does in the real world? Buys out the box office and marks up the tickets?
What's good for the goose...

But what is the government's incentive again?

Over a million and no complaints means something is wrong? How arbitrary and self serving.

We buy any old shit, no matter if they make some of the parts here.
