I've been able to stab several people too, but haven't done that either. My point is, ATT is a telecom company. Their business is almost exclusively communications so them handing data over is slightly more severe than a company no one thinks is actually keeping their information secret.
in most cases mean significant cost increases, coverage shrinkage and possible deductible changes?
This is not the case. The plans that are being canceled do not meet the minimum coverage requirements. Their coverage is not shrinking, it's expanding. The companies can change them to meet the minimum requirement without significant cost increases, but they won't because that is not the most profitable thing to do and lets face it, insurance companies are not there to help, they are there to make as much money with as little exposure as possible. I would love for them to increase my coverage without notifying me, but they aren't going to increase coverage without taking their pound of flesh.
There is a pretty large false equivalency at work here. People aren't getting their gold star plans canceled to have them replaced with super expensive lead plans. They are having lead plans canceled and replaced with aluminum plans. No one is losing a great plan, people are only losing plans that were passable at best because the legal standard for passable finally changed for the better. Trying to frame it otherwise is disingenuous.
Unfortunately, GP is the reason we're starting to see a resurgence of poor laws and workhouses. People keep voting in their oppressors because they think the free market will eventually give them a seat at the table with the kings if you just work hard enough.
So the insurance companies are cancelling people policies and we're blaming it on the law? Why don't they just upgrade the policies to meet the minimum requirements and not cancel the policies? To me that seems more like the insurance companies are being assholes more than anything. They have the option to do the right thing but are instead doing the most profitable thing. Why doesn't this vilify the insurance companies instead of the law since the insurance companies are the ones being dicks about it?
Neither does histrionics and paranoia. The simple fact is that airport security has nothing to do with keeping you safe and has been shown to be highly ineffective at stopping any real attempt to circumvent them. It's security theater, not actual security. Terrorism and the war on terror isn't about saving lives or fighting bad guys, it's about suppressing freedom and oppressing the populace. If you think otherwise, you're ignorant to reality.
The federal government already has access to any and all of your medical records, and has for a while now. Whether they can use those against you is a matter of a warrant. Exactly how is this going to change anything?
We use this type of technology to map out flood plains and rivers and other things. Using this data we can model potential weak spots and areas for dam and levee improvement as well as effective fire management in the case of forest fires and wild fires.
They abound everywhere, but they congregate, centralize, and thrive at Fox. The times, post and forbes don't approach the level of idiocy at fox. Saying they all suck is really a poor excuse.
I thought that language is now a part of all american birth certificates. "Upon being pushed from an american vagina you have absolutely no expectation of privacy or actual security" or something like that.

The NSA Spies on us, the CIA spies on them. I think that's about as close of a difference as you can make.
I don't remember the last time I used google to make a phone call...

If you're ignorant, you could say that since he didn't actually bring up any points other than to state that the state systems are passible.
We always called it Sorry Ass Program.
Well, some information is so important that it begs to breach the proprietary wall.
God damn, I wish I had mod points, I would put you through the fucking roof. This is the most accurate thing ever posted on here.

"appoint a council of perfect guardians of rightness".
Isn't this what they've already done by creating a group of people with absolute power of delete?
Holy shit. This exactly.

"Fox News reported that a..."
I'm just saying it's a pretty standard part of the TOS.
There's a footnote clause for that my man, no worries, the NSA has you covered!

Umm, that would be bored college students in the shitter with a sharpie.
Oh yeah I should have mentioned frivolous lawsuits too.
The only thing Apple makes in the US are profits and vacation plans.
I always thought that terrorists and criminals communicating in real time happened during the Pentagon's congressional briefings.
