Yes, having your car drive you to a remote parking lot where you have to buy male enhancement products to regain control of your vehicle is a GREAT idea.
Government contractors ARE subject to FOIA requests. In fact there is a whole sub industry where contractors issue FOIA requests to each other attempting to get competitive advantages.
Princess Leia: Governor Balmer, I should have expected to find you holding Gates' leash. I recognized your foul stench when I was brought on board. Governor Balmer: Charming to the last. You don't know how hard I found it, signing the order to terminate your license. Princess Leia: I'm surprised that you had the courage to take the responsibility yourself. Governor Balmer: Princess Leia, before your execution, I'd like you to join me for a ceremony that will make this game console operational. No IT department will dare oppose the Emperor now. Princess Leia: The more you tighten your grip, Balmer, the more data centers will slip through your fingers. Governor Balmer: Not after we demonstrate the capabilities of Windows 8!
I think a lot of people confuse leadership with management in this film. Take a closer look at what Savage is doing - building confidence and independence of the people in his team. Finding and promoting his potential replacements. And so on. The previous commander did not accomplish these tasks and ended up failing.
Leadership often builds dependency and stifles the growth of the people under the leader. Savage is using management principles to avoid this trap.
Yes Savage has an intensely emotional attachment to his group. Which is a personal obstacle he has to deal with in his role. I think all good managers have to deal with this.
If some guy with a GED who had been on the job for 3 months got as much as Snowden did, what makes you think a real spy ring wouldn't just get everything?
So we shouldn't eradicate deadly diseases? WTF are you getting at? Maybe people in the developing world should just roll over and die because they have no reason to live?
It's why it's called the DEVELOPING world. There is a big cost associated with these diseases too. The large number of children per family is part of that cost.
This is the family of man. We are all in the same boat (the Earth). The sooner we recognize this and pull together the sooner Man will be able to move on towards fuller realization of the potential of every man, and the great progress of the human race that is possible.
Managers are a much derided group today. The reason is the way American managers are trained and developed. Poorly. And with little recognition that the skill set is something that you can't develop working as a line employee. Yet it really is critical to the success of an organization.
Tracy Kidder's Soul of a New Machine illustrates an example of good management.
Gregory Peck's role in 12 O'Clock High is also a good example of effective management.
I have to love how the partisan wingnuts jump right in.
This thing is this is not a partisan issue. The program started in 1994.
It's a problem with overreach and arrogance that infects the entire government of the United States. You aren't going to fix it by voting for Democrats or Republicans.
Yes, that is one theory. However there is a problem with this idea - the MM started its dive BEFORE the monetary base was increased via QE. It started crashing in Sept 2008, when Lehman failed while QE started in November 2008.
It is pretty obvious that the cause was the banks were crapping there pants due to the fact that they were most all BK because of bad loans and were to highly leveraged. As a result they started building reserves like crazy, and put an end to almost all lending. The Fed tried to counteract that with QE, which is really a weak tool. Still it's better than what would have happened otherwise - the MM crash would have ended up decreasing the money supply, and we would have had a major deflationary episode.
THAT sort of thing is what led to the Great Depression.
The monetary base is defined as the portion of the commercial banks' reserves that are maintained in accounts with their central bank plus the total currency circulating in the public (which includes the currency, also known as vault cash, that is physically held in the banks' vault).
The money supply generally far exceeds the monetary base and of the total currency circulating in the public plus the non-bank deposits with commercial banks.
The two are disjoint sets. They are related to each other through something known as the money multiplier. The money multiplier crashed during the recent economic crisis.
Since at present the value of the money multiplier is low, and excess reserves are high the US Fed has little ability to cause the money supply to increase. All it can do is decrease the money supply.
This is why the current contractionary fiscal policy is so bad. The Fed has shot all it's arrows, and the government is cutting spending.

I am not doubting your experience, but this is a Federal case. As such state laws don't apply, and under Federal law this is not dischargeable.

Threat analysts doctrine focuses on capability, not intent.

Restitution in criminal cases is not dischargable by bankruptcy.
So basically he's a slave until the restitution is made.

Leadership, on the other hand is much over-rated.
Hey, I still have some Mac System 9 floppies lying around. This should run those, right?
So if sounds like this could be practical on a WiFi network??
Yes, unemployment is high.
However it is very likely that anything you see on shadowstats is sketchy. Citing it is really a bad idea.
Here's why this number is questionable.

I certainly don't remember any screaming from liberals in 1987.
In fact the only screaming is that we are hearing from conservatives in 2013.
