The thing is though it's really no different from regular malls. The picketers have to stay off private property which means the they need to be pretty far away from the store if it has a good sized parking lot.
It really has nothing to do with whether or not the store is in a mall, and everything about how much parking there is between the store and the street.
The difference is the scale of the threat. The USSR was an aggressive superpower that had swallowed half of Europe and killed 50 MILLION of it own citizens. It had a nuclear capability large enough to wipe out civilization.
Al Qaeda - a bunch of guys living in caves making homemade bombs. Annoying, yes. ICBMs with hydrogen bomb MIRV warheads, not so much.
If it weren't for the fact that oil comes out of the Middle East there would be zero interest in their shit.
When it comes down to it megawealth doesn't come from being a CEO so much as it comes from owning the corporation. A CEO is really just a very highly paid employee. The real wealth comes from owning the store.
A quick look at the Forbes top 400 and you find they are almost all store owners. Some may be CEO too, but these guys mostly founded the company their wealth comes from.
Exactly where do you even attempt to make an argument? A couple of ad hominem attacks and a obvious basic lack of understanding of history is your response?
How about citing a source for facts supporting your view?
Here's another citation from the EFF supporting mine.
Sonny, 1992 was the election of Bill Clinton. What president in US history had a better record of peace, prosperity and economic growth?
None.
The technology that you take for granted on a day-to-day basis was brought to full flower in the time you claim was a disaster.
It seems to me you are just trying to weasel out of paying the same burden your forebears did. The debt today is no different in terms of percentage of GDP that it was when I was born right after WWII. You didn't hear the boomers complaining about it.
The FIRST advice should be learn to write and speak English well. Spelling errors, bad punctuation, incomplete sentences and slang in business communications are not going to get you where you want to go.
There are some important differences between what this is and what the NSA is doing. Probably the most important is that the DEA doesn't have a 'general warrant', that is permission to vacuum up ALL the call detail records.
The 4th amendment was put in place in large part because of a reaction against general warrants issued by the British Crown.
Wikipedia:
The Fourth Amendment (Amendment IV) is an amendment to the United States Constitution and part of the Bill of Rights. It prohibits unreasonable searches and seizures and requires any warrant to be judicially sanctioned and supported by probable cause. It was adopted in response to the abuse of the writ of assistance, a type of general search warrant issued by the British Government and a major source of tension in pre-Revolutionary America.
My wife is a dual citizen. Not a big deal. Just show the US passport when entering the US. She travels to her home country all the time. Never had a problem with the US.
Just remember that border police are not paid that well and therefore may not be very bright, so don't make things overly complicated for them.
The only time I've ever heard of dual US-XXX being an issue is when applying for a high level security clearance. Then they start wonder exactly where your alliances really lie. As they should.
One of the things that most Europeans don't appreciate is how small their country is compared to the United States. Denmark is roughly 43,000 square km. The United States is 10,000,000 square km. Denmark is smaller than 41 of the US States.
Is there any reason to believe that a comparison between the border controls needed for a country roughly the size of Maryland to the entire United States should be in any way appropriate?
Of course it's a unit. In fact a lot of so-called metric countries sell goods by the foot. So it's way more than a 'couple' of countries.
The idea that once you go metric ALL of the goods in that country are automatically converted to metric measures is bullshit. For a concrete example in the UK lumber is priced by the cubic foot.
Oh come on. Labor costs have nothing to do with the taxes you see on a paycheck. Those are the taxes that the employee pays, not the employer.
As far as ideas, sure, here's a few.
How about fixing the minimum wage? The value of the minimum wage has not at all kept up with inflation. In countries like Australia it's at $15. Accounting for inflation the US min wage is half what it was when first introduced.
A really stupid American idea is tying health care to employment. It should be a single payer system. The US cost per cap cost for health care is essentially twice that of any other nation because of the wasteful processes we have. Get rid of that cost and there will be far greater funds available for good old consumption.
Another idea is to cut back on defense spending and use the money for infrastructure. Defense buys expensive toys that do little for employment or the economy while infrastructure would do a lot.
Another is to cut the BS with education. We have large swaths of the population basically uneducated. If you want to cut regulations THAT'S the place.
Congress seriously needs reform. They cater to much to entrenched interests. Term limits would be a huge step forward.
Labor costs could be reduced without any wage or salary changes by cutting the costs of liability and regulatory compliance. Beyond that, various taxes could also be cut. Profitability could be increased through similar changes -- especially by cutting the US corporate tax rates from the world's highest to a rate more in line with international norms. If we want (the benefits of) a wealthier society, we should think about these and other ways our society can be wealthier.
Umm not. Labor costs are not particularly affected by regulation and liability. Nor are they affected by taxation. It is only corporate profitability that is affected. Which is already at an all time high. Corporations don't need to be more profitable to hire people. Corporate cash accounts are at all time highs.
The reason we have a labor glut? Demand is down and worker productivity is extremely high. So we have record low labor force participation. Unemployed people consume lots less than employed people.
Do you know who else consumes relatively little (as a proportion of their income)? Very rich people.
What do we have in the US right now? A real crappy distribution of income. A shrinking and lower income middle class. Until the consumer class starts growing again demand will stay low and along with it labor force participation.
Most retirees worked for their benefits. They may be non-workers now, but while they worked they paid taxes into a retirement system and often accumulated their own capital in addition.
The fact that the government frittered away their contribution is not their fault.
The capital they accumulated should be and even sometimes is an important source of accumulated wealth that is invested into the economy. When it isn't, it's another government screw-up.
Originally the idea of corporations as people was NOT a privilege. It was a liability in that it made corporations subject to legal action.
If they were not people they weren't subject to legal action in court, you could not sue them and you certainly could not regulate them or hold them to a contract.
Now of course it's been taken too far and corporate people have become bestowed with more and more attributes of personhood as time goes on. Citizen's United is the most famous recent aspect of this.

I've seen it at strip malls. And WalMart.

Basically it's quite obvious you have no idea what you are talking about, or how to make an argument. And you call others ignorant?

Travelling within US states has much LESS border controls than within the Schengen Area.
Still haven't shown where US Customs is forcing people to log in to their email accounts.

That's Israeli border security. Not US.

I don't think so.
I tried your search and didn't find any indication that using a K-1 to bring a wife into the US was a normal or sanctioned thing to do.
You do realize there are about 1,500,000,000 border crossings into the US per year, and about 7000 of these search events, right?
I'll let you figure out the likelihood of getting harassed.
