CEO's also get big rewards with golden parachutes when they fail at their job, so I'm unsure what your point might be. Much more likely they don't care what the CEO gets because, one day, that's a job may of them want.
If you're so sure that Musk does not have have a plan with investors lined up and has made the announcement without talking to tax attorneys and has placed himself in legal jeopardy could you put your money where your mouth is?
I'm pretty sure that's how this story started, with the people shorting stock that lost money being upset. I routinely bet on his endeavors, so, sure, I'm up for another round.
UBI doesn't 'encourage' anything. That's kind of the main point.
Some people are happy to live with minimal expense and not do much. The majority, I would think, with some disposable income, would take risks and train/look for the job they want, rather than taking a job that might pay enough to survive based on current expense.
Personally, I would love to see what would happen to the dirty jobs. How many basic maintenance jobs, like janitor or sewer laborer, would see a dramatic increase in pay if people didn't need those types of jobs to survive?
Amusing, but I'm pretty sure you know there's a difference between election integrity and arguing whether the Electoral College is the right approach. And I'm in favor of her staying quiet at this point because people aren't going to listen to her.
Yes, yes, turbines kill birds. Tell you what, I'm all for protecting birds. Let's start by eliminating the major causes of bird deaths and, you know, eventually we'll hit turbines. Just a warning though - getting rid of cars and power lines might have a negative impact on society.
I don't know why you're modded as Offtopic. That's troubling. You're addressing the key problem - don't listed to any site's opinion when the topic is discussing science. Study the science.
People knew the Supreme Court hung in the balance in fall 2016 and the vote went the way it did anyhow. Now it's too late to do anything about it. McConnell doesn't care about being a hypocrite, much less being called one. Even if a blue wave comes in, it's a safe bet those federal court decisions will be overturned. It makes me glad I live in a state that actually cares about human rights.
I agree with the sentiment, but I'm very much in line with what the Founders were going for - I vote on issues, not party. I really wish, as an experiment, that more places would hide party affiliation from people and let people vote this way and then see what they get after.
Okay, we got *a* shutdown, not shutdowns, under Obama because Ted Cruz and the Tea Party wing pushed for one. The rationale was they wanted to tie the budget to the debt ceiling and they wanted, again, to muck with the ACA. They bragged about getting what they wanted afterwards because of the resulting unilateral cuts.
So, surprise, Obama didn't want to sign that. I'm not aware of a rational argument on why he would want to. You can argue about whether you like(d) the ACA, whether budget cuts were a good idea, the fallout of our loss on credit rating or furloughed jobs was worth it, or whatever all you like. Obama had no interest in gutting his own health care bill. Duh. I'd also like to think we agree that the concept of the debt ceiling isn't relevant right now how much Congress spends (regardless of where they spend).

Michael J. Fox did okay for himself, good sir.
To be fair, his knowledge about the debt appears to be a bit lacking.
I feel like somebody's been nibbling on my brain - can't come up with one right now.

Yes, energy is required to be put into a system in order to get something out. I don't think that's an argument for doing nothing.
I was going to say, you can see it in 'Anonymous Coward'.

For that matter, corporations aren't always correct either. And I'm quite sure they're more bloated than unions.

It's going to be a difficult threat to resolve indeed.

Oh that's not fair - the hats are optional.

Heck, salves are great for injuries. I didn't see the problem.
Please state your definition of 'collapse'. It's up over 30 points in the last month, including this morning's 10 point drop.

He's a professional provocateur who uses Twitter as a weapon. Why anyone pays attention is beyond me.
Oh right, he's President. Ba dum, tsh!
More ridiculous, I think, to apply labels without historical perspective.

I might be more scared of proof of that statement than the video you're sparing us from.
Oh come now, they're summer camps, not prisons.

Wow, his own people call the phone secure? I'm convinced!
