Law is a crappy field. Most lawyers earn half of what a senior engineer does and spend most of their time in divorce court. Plus you come out of school loaded with debt.
You can make good money in Big Law. However few last more than 3-5 years in that area. The weed out rate is incredible.
It's like going into a career like acting. The few at the top are wealthy. The rest wait tables.
Is social security really the 'dole'? It's a program that you qualify for by working, and the amount you receive from it depends on the amount of employment tax paid into the program.
Yes the number of people on it depends on unemployment to a certain extent, but that's because high unemployment often leads to people taking benefits early. The amount of benefits granted by social security is actuarially neutral though - increasing the number of beneficiaries doesn't lead to increased payment.
I do the same thing on Cablevison. In fact I run my own caching DNS server because I find having something in house improves performance of a number of pieces of software I use including spam filters.
ISP DNS servers quite often suck.
I'd tend to apply Hanlon's Razor to this situation.
I have worked with or know senior people who have no need to use email directly. It doesn't surprise me that a senior cabinet level person would have assistants manage their email.
Huh? The authors of the creation story surely knew how long a day is.
You could not know before the sun was created unless you were God and had a good idea what you were going to implement, but afterwards, not a problem to figure out how long a day was.
In some cases you need to know everything that is going out the door. For example if your company is the target of industrial espionage the last thing you want is your trade secrets going out through your firewall.
I would expect a lot of companies are doing this along with other similar measures.
> For instance, the belief that the world began in flames is a religious ideology that is thousands of years old, yet persists to this day veiled beneath the Big Bang theory.

Yes, in absolute terms we spend a lot more than anyone else.
However it's also interesting to look at military spending as a % of GDP. When you do that it looks very different.
China for example spends far more than we do.

Work to protect my assets from Medicaid.
And these companies provide good jobs to Indian citizens. However once you start fining them the cost advantage of operating in India evaporates.
Google is generally considered to be the most desirable employer in India.

It's the Willie Sutton effect.
Elon Musk = D.D. Harriman, only with bigger dreams.
And not a fictional character.

Except they did pass a law restricting exports of unrefined oil.
What they should have included in the law is a restriction of anything except finished products.
Dammit Congress.
What is disturbing about the bill is that it applies to women and children only. It does not protect skirt wearing men. The Scottish Clans protest!
Free? Have you seen our defense budget? Spent mostly to defend our trading partners.....

Seems like they get to host $9B. Now consider the mechanics of fractional reserve banking.....
Normally you address this sort of stuff by locking down the user's desktop.

Correlation does not imply causation.
This is Slashdot. Nothing written here about patents is believable.
This is what I use every day:
TurboTax

The FBI mostly doesn't hire ass clowns.
I wouldn't try this with the local sheriff's office.
Canada is not 1/5.
McGill vs. say Rutgers is a 25% difference.
About 10% of the debtors owe more than $40,000. There is no reason to take on that much debt unless you are going to medical school.
Canada is experiencing similar issues.

Where did I say anything about your political affiliation?
Cognitive dissonance is a human trait. You are engaging in it yourself when you try to cast the left as engaging in it more than the right.
Your whole argument is itself simply an expression of a double standard when you try to claim the left engages in this more than the right.
It's simply something that arises out of our own human limitations.
