It's the noise, dummy...You cannot see the intelligence for all the noise.
Counting the 50+ deaths in Orlando as the act of an Islamic terrorist, which is at least debatable, there have been fewer than 100 deaths in the US since 2001.
This is not exactly the sort of threat that sane men forfeit their liberty for.
Suggesting that the children of new immigrants (many of whom speak another language) exact a toll upon overall school performance is a realistic perspective.
Calling every observation about the sometimes negative consequences of cultural diversity racist discourages any and all conversation about the matter.
Sweden is an interesting choice for comparison, because they are slipping in some of the ratings of late, plausibly because of the new(ish) diversity in their demographics.
This has been an ongoing challenge for educational systems in the US, although it is one of those things which must not be named.
While I agree that promising to abolish the NSA will garner more interest than threatening to rein in the spy agency's power,
I find it oddly offensive that Libertarian candidate would treat the American voters with the same disdain as the two mainstream candidates.
It should not be necessary to lie, exaggerate, or sugarcoat things to get elected. If it is, there is a failure on another level, and the candidates are merely a symptom of that failure.
Full disclosure: I'm an unrepentant American. It's not easy being a world power. Ask Britain, France, Spain, Italy, Germany, Japan, and Portugal et al why it didn't work out for them.
Of course American jails are horrible. They're full of Americans.
There's a school of thought that making prisons uncomfortable is just desserts and even a deterrent for some..
Snowden was correct to expose the NSA. However, he was wrong to believe that his actions could have possibly shamed the US government and it citizens into holding it accountable.
I don't know. I mean, could more be done? Certainly. But here's the former, sitting, US Attorney General... Top lawyer in the all the land, mitigating my circumstances a bit. That is a nice gesture.
If I was Snowden, I'd be jumping around the living room, fist-pumping, clearly pleased with this outcome.
You mean the US CAN vote for someone else than Trump or Hillary? So the people ARE to blame if one of the former becomes president and does something stupid?
Blaming is the illusive game the citizens who have a voting voice are allowed to play.
Every eight years or so, the country's continued downward spiral is blamed on the Party holding executive power, and there's a movement to vote for change.
The modern difference seems to be that the candidates bear little resemblance to competent, intelligent leaders.
Alright...for this to pass Congressional muster, you'd have to be more than persuasive; you'd have to be convincing in your apparent push to continue the status quo, or your reform legislation stands no chance of getting out of committee.
Yes, if Duke met the prerequisite requirements for funding, he would get it: that's your representative republic.
Yeah because Mcdonalds has never heard of using a spreadsheet.
These companies are acutely aware of the cost of labor at all times, just like they are with the cost of food... if they can cut costs, they will, it means more profit for the folks on top.
You're absolutely correct, and if only one company cut thousands of human positions to improve the bottom line, the economy could probably withstand it.
Ironically, the replacement of the workforce's lowest wage earners with robotic devices will negatively impact places like McDonald's first.
The robot workers are not fast food consumers. Though the initial ($35,000) cost will go to a developer/manufacturer, any savings associated with a diminished human workforce will not necessarily be reabsorbed by the industry.
It's unfortunate that our choice in the land of the free is down to two choices again, and neither is (again) an awe-inspiring, once in a generation leader we can be proud to elect.
But. Dude named Trump is dumber than your brother-in-law's tennis shoe. Yeah, Hill is hard to like, right, but damn!!
That's not even necessary. You can adopt a helper (often off death row) from the pound who will clean the solids from the diaper with alacrity. Win. Ewww! Win.
The trash in the dump may well be mined by a future alpha life form, since we're likely to use up the easy to get stuff before we die off.
If not, the earth is probably evolving an organism in nature that can metabolize plastics and other synthetics.
The maximum federal corporate tax rate on income in the U.S. is just 35%, and though the state corporate income tax can vary(N.Carolina 4% to Iowa 12%), taxable income is after deductions.
Limitations on Deductions
In general, contributions to charitable organizations may be deducted up to 50 percent of adjusted gross income computed without regard to net operating loss carrybacks. Contributions to certain private foundations, veterans organizations, fraternal societies, and cemetery organizations are limited to 30 percent adjusted gross income (computed without regard to net operating loss carrybacks), however. Exempt Organizations Select Check uses deductibility status codes to indicate these limitations.

Like the Uber service, this is a way to circumvent legacy fees to the municipality.

Cautionary tale: some things you cannot unremember.
Clearly.
Naked pics for a personal loan is a way better deal than a car title loan.
According to an ex co-worker of his he had gone completely nuts.
Even, and especially, in times of great loss of life, I am not moved an infinitesimal amount by the distinction.
Anywhere else, it'd would've been called the teethbrush.
I'm okay with that.
For instance, Saturday Night Live was theoretically obligated to offer opposing candidates a platform since the Donald hosted a show.
Paid advertisements are another matter, not governed by the original rule.

Boom... you're getting these banner ads for basement paint.

Your democracy can be (sort of) all inclusive and flawed or, if you prefer, muddled with nonelected candidate selectors.
It would, at least, afford large donors the opportunity to bribe their politicians the old fashioned way.

The responsibility it to the shareholder, no the government.
Here I thought the responsibility of the tax code was to the voters.
Precisely. Voters are voting for things not in their interest exactly the way they always do.
It says it's from NBC News, but it reads like the opening speech at the annual Monsanto company picnic.

None of those are Brazilian.
That's right.
Brazil is en fuego (em chamas) lately; with the sporting event of the quadrennial, the impeachment of the year, and the wax of the decade.
