I figure at best we've got 200-300 years left on this planet before a major collapse of civilization. We used it up before we were able to go elsewhere. We blew it.
They have and continue to support mass murder. Any politician, from any party, who accepts their money, should be thrown out of office. Once we've purged the parasite that is the NRA, we can start working on repealing the 2nd amendment.
Are you aware that there's an on-going investigation into collusion? They're investigating to see if there was collusion and if any laws were broken. Even if you ignore the meeting in Trump Tower attended by Russians and Trumps son, Kushner, et al, on the promise of getting "dirt" on Clinton, and GP's drunken blabbing about Russians having "dirt" on Clinton to an Australian diplomat that sparked the collusion investigation, and if you ignore the RNC/DNC funded Steele dossier, even a dope has to notice that Trump has insulted everyone on the planet except Putin.
I'm in favor of waiting to see what Mueller finds. Then we'll all know. If he says there was no collusion and no laws broken I'll accept it.
factory that is supposed to be built in Wisconsin. Our brilliant governor gave them 3 billion dollars in incentives to build the factory because they promised "as amny as" 13k jobs would be created. I guess they didn't specify that they'd be jobs for humans...
That analogy would be perfect, if you could move a couple million dollars worth of Beanie Babies across borders without risk of detection or confiscation.
A couple million dollar's worth of beanie babies has never existed. 2 dollar's worth of beanie babies has never existed. You're making the common mistake, made by bitcoin and beanie baby "investors" alike, that price = worth. The truth is, price and worth are two different things, and large differences between the two are not sustainable. Either the worth has to rise to meet the price, or the price has to fall to match the worth. I don't see bitcoin's worth rising.
The only people who want to move a couple million dollars across borders without detection are, by definition, criminals.
Now there's a match made in heaven! The least secure form of "currency" or "investment" managed via the least secure form of electronic surveillance / communications device.
I hate to break it to you, but the display in the 2012 Nexus 7 was 1280 x 800. You may be streaming 1080p video but you're watching 800p (or maybe 720p).
I have one of those and it is so slow it is barely functional any more- I probably need to put a different OS on it.
For the last 30-40 years popular media in the US has been promoting stupidity and turning dumb people into stars, making them famous, and in some cases rich.
I'm hoping that the pendulum has swung as far as it's going and will start to swing back the other way, but I'm probably foolish to think we've reached peak stoopid.
If you want to be an authoritarian despot, the first thing you do is get the military and intelligence people on your side. It seems he's too dumb to figure that out.
Because it generates PR and doesn't cost anything. "Restricted stock units" is worthless to the employees.
If they wanted to give an actual bonus, they'd give cash or actual stock, you know, like the company's execs probably got. Everyone else just gets blue-sky.
Silicon valley may do some old-school engineering, but this is an example of what they are really best at- financial engineering. It generates maximum buzz for minimal cost, and probably gets the company another tax break.
This is like the airlines periodically announcing they are increasing space between seats because "they care about passenger comfort". Where was the concern for passenger comfort while they were making the spacing narrower?
Escapism. In a world that insults our intelligence every day, maybe we just want some affirmation that somewhere out there, there are some smart beings who are unaffected by the petty bullshit that we have to put up with (you know who I'm talking about).

going to go nuts over this.
How many cells does it take to make a human?
How many angels can dance on the head of a pin?

They out-floridaed Florida!
Nothing to say to rebut my points? ... spoken like a true AC...
Why don't you just say "oh yeah?" or "sez you!" It would be every bit as meaningful and useful as what you posted.

So you think the Russian run wiki leaks, not having anything incriminating on Trump, is proof he is innocent of colluding with Russia?
I guess it's like Putin keeps telling Trump, he had nothing to do with hacking US elections. He wouldn't say that if it weren't true, right?

something that never existed in the first place?

Who could have foreseen this sort of problem?

And they call that a bonus?
I'll bet the execs get unrestricted stock.
Same BS, different decade.
I was an engineer in the 90s and got stock options the day my company went public. The tee shirt I got on that day ended up worth more than the stock.
If it isn't cash, it's worthless. Don't accept this BS in lieu of money or even actual stock. It's a PR gimmick.
were amassing all that money overseas?
