Hear hear... though I've a hunch your well parsed logical argument will be denounced most by those in the greatest need of its wisdom, I commend you for its utter, infallible, sanity.
Name one communist country that didn't see large percentages of their population get outright murdered, let alone the ecological side effects. I'm on team human first. Science tells us that the better off we are, the more conscientious we are about stewardship of the environment, resource management, and improving quality of life. There's a positive feedback loop associated with capitalism that allows upward socioeconomic mobility for more people than any other system. This gives people more time for education, and concurrent to that, they become more aware of long term environmental issues, and become better at planning and saving for the future.
Screw you if you want to take that away.
Sigh... more people & societies benefiting from a deployed political system flies in the face of the selfish gene. It should not come as a shock to us that raising the living standard of the bottom 20%ish of the World for our own good is as difficult to grasp as the federal reserve notes blown about a Money booth.
You are crazy fucking stupid and ignorant of how math, economics, the market place and psychology works.
Because I have seen you posting g stupid shit for years and completely immune to logic and reason I will keep it short since you will not get it anyway:
Free Stuff For All does not work. Why? Because the costs are essentially infinite/maximized. Goods and services provided without cost to the consumer will be used to the maximum amount. Got a cold? Stubbed a toe? Elbow is itchy? See a doctor. Feeling like a girl today? Surgery. Feeling like a man tomorrow? Stitch it back on. Kids acting up? ADHD and special 1:1 classes and teachers. Feeling bad? Free pot. Cold? Free cl0thing. And so on.
If you want Stuff, go fucking earn money and pay for it. If you cannot afford it then work harder or do with put. No one has a god given so-called human right to live off the sweat of other peoples hard work.
Why should anyone try hard in school or work or bother doing anything than smoking out and playing fortnite if everything comes free? Answer: they wont.
And where does all this Free Stuff come from? Oh, wait, here it comes.... drum rolll... Tax The Rich TIL They Aint Rich No More! And then what, dumbass? Then who pays? Oh wait, yes, the so-called privileged middle classes! They were all racist anyway. And then when they are poor, who? No one. No one has anything BUT we do finally have your idiotic and irrational socialist utopia! Yay! Life equally sucks for everyone!
This has been figured out by humanity thousands of years ago. People who work, eat. People who slack, starve. Contribute in a meaningful way to society or fucking starve. No one owes you anything in life. And certainly rich people owe poor people nothing. They have zero moral or ethical obligation to share the fruit of their labor, education, luck. ability to network or anything else. Life is unfair. Deal with it.
Tl;dr: socialism is evil, has murdered more people and caused more suffering than any other single cause and will never work. Morons will keep trying though saying if only we tried harder or had more data or evil conservatives did not kill our program after being elected to office by citizens who wanted to put an end to socialist madness.
Though short is in the, errr, eye of the beholder, you're either a prevaricator and a man accustomed to misleading his wife what exactly equals 6 inches in length... or the most significant reason some web-poster came up with TLDR... jury is out, but your lawyer has called the office and told the secretary to deposit your checks.
Indeed. The problem is that the billionaires hate the idea of anyone getting "something for nothing" when they could put further millions in their own bank accounts.
Of course, it is not just the billionaires that hate it.
Common working people with affiliations political on the right and the left hate it because the poor give them something to feel better than, and that, is better than nothing for the still majority working class.
A working UBI may take depression-era hardship to ultimately take off.
Vermont, like many places with mostly rural populations since farm work became mechanized, is burdened with youth flight to more urban population centers.
$5000 per year, though, may not be enough to sway many folks, although this story got a lot of free publicity.
Perhaps they should instead offer scholarships to State colleges in exchange for X years of local service, similar to what the military does.
It varies from Stste to State, so it depends on where you live:
Eleven states—California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Kansas, Maine, Massachusetts, New York, Oklahoma and Texas—and Puerto Rico have laws that prohibit merchants from charging consumers with surcharges on credit card transactions.
Ten states—California, Colorado, Connecticut, Maryland, Massachusetts, Nevada, Oklahoma, Washington, Wisconsin and Wyoming—and Puerto Rico have laws that allow merchants to give discounts to encourage consumers to use forms of payment other than credit or debit cards.
In the U.S., our local grocers have also developed online ordering, local pickup outside the store, and even grocery delivery for an additional fee.
Amazon's foray into groceries was a natural business evolution from the book company that wants to sell you everything, but it's going to be less successful than some of their other endeavors. I've tried Prime Pantry several times, and it is not without its merits when restocking non-perishables. It's not necessarily a bad outcome, since it typically works to the disadvantage of consumers when too much of the market is in the hands of a single outfit.
Peak Amazon is going to continue to lose market share as other companies imitate their successful business model. This will not, however, speed up product delivery during peak shopping times, since the pipeline will clog with Newegg & Walmart boxes just as readily.
On June 18, (1998) Richard Liu committed RMB12,000 of his savings to lease a four-square-meter retail unit in Beijing’s technology hub of Zhongguancun. Here he established JD Multimedia, the business that would eventually become JD.com.
In March, (2013) JD formed a strategic partnership with Tencent, giving JD exclusive access to Tencent’s WeChat and Mobile QQ platforms.
Four square meters of rented space to billionaire. China's like America in the 1800's.
The thing that struck me the most was the clever design and forethought that went into the design of the glitter bomb... including five servings of fart spray to encourage the Pirates of the Porch to launch the package from the car before discovering the four smart phones inside.
Did they "NBC the test results like the package theft was a GM vehicle explosion?" Almost certainly, and to the discredit of the thing they hoped to elevate, but they were not maladroit with the build.
The report doesn't mention if the cheaper next-generation Xbox console will be streaming-only, or if it will still support traditional discs and downloads. With a disc-free version of the Xbox One reportedly coming next spring, this seems like a possibility.
FWIW, I'm not a gamer, but I am responsible for most of the bills of a couple. Recently, a console malfunction destroyed several orders of many tens of hours of game play for one of my dependents, and the only recourse to recovery of the bulk of this digital experience was the repair of the existing equipment.
Several failed, extensive and expensive, repair attempts later, the poor fellow has to redo many time units of gaming to return to a previous level of play. If only we'd been required to store game play advances in the Cloud with guarantees of retrieval approaching that of the Imperial Conditioning of Dr Yueh.
T-Mobile said the allegations made by the Rural Wireless Association (RWA) in an FCC filing on Friday "are patently false."
So, it's interesting that folks use adverbs like "patently" prior to denunciations of evildoing, as if modifiers are not a red flag.
Yes, they should be fined, and in a significant manner, but alas, if the money indeed goes to the third party, whistle-blowing rural carrier, it's "extremely" important to verify the veracity of the complainant... if we don't want this to end up the Cellular equivalent of local police jurisdictions' seizure of money deemed to have been acquired suspiciously.
I'm no expert, but I'm not sure why total wild hog population is a useful number to determine how thick game is. Wouldn't Hog Density per Square Mile work better, since people tend to cover the same number of square miles per hour not the same number of states per hour when they hunt?
Well sure. Since the square miles a State occupies is rather well known, all that's missing to figure Hog Density per Square Mile is, err, total wild hog population.
Indeed. Sadly, this is the way Orwellian surveillance is often deployed, trading a little safety for a lot of privacy... and sometimes only the illusion of safety.
To what end? Separating rabid fans (fanatics) from genuine evildoers and then eradicating the perceived threats? That sounds like the sort of pseudo-military exercise likely to incur more civilian casualties than the one-off concert shooter...
Some States place restrictions on hunting feral hog populations, but Texas is not one of them. Nuisance hogs can be trapped en masse, killed at night using IR, and from a vehicle such as a four-wheeler or helicopter, and still:
It shouldn't be a surprise, but Texas by far tops this list of the best states to hunt hogs in the United States. With a hog population conservatively estimated at upwards of 1.5 million hogs, Texas has by far the largest hog population of any state. In fact, Texas is experiencing such a dramatic increase in feral hog populations (an average of 20% per year) that some think that the state is actually losing the war on feral hogs.
Former President of Facebook, he famously pointed out that:
a social-validation feedback loop is "exactly the kind of thing that a hacker like myself would come up with, because you're exploiting a vulnerability in human psychology. The inventors, creators -- it's me, it's Mark [Zuckerberg], it's Kevin Systrom on Instagram, it's all of these people -- understood this consciously. And we did it anyway."
GP is being facetious. When the free market works properly, unencumbered by excessive government regulation, healthy competition encourages this outcome.
Trade wars lead to protectionist trade policies, and before you know it, we're back to paying more for the same shit we could have done without in the first place.
