I'm not sure how you can equate the UK with the US. To qualify for Medicare you need to be above a certain age or meet some very specific medical conditions. To qualify for Medicaid the maximum income is horribly low ($16,753 single/$34,638 family of four, according to what I found). If you don't qualify for either and can't afford insurance, the clinics you mention might help, but I'm not aware of any within a 100 miles of where I am. I am aware of physicians that dropped insurance and went with payment plans or the like, but then that only helps when you go to see them specifically, and doesn't cover prescriptions, blood work, seeing other specialists, hospitalization, emergency care, etc. If you don't have insurance and have an emergency or chronic illness/condition, in most places in the US, there are no real options (besides possibly bankruptcy for the emergency bill).
I hope it's more useful than I'm imagining. When someone is unconscious and someone else calls 911, they're not going to be able to browse a list of ambulance providers and hospitals and review prices. Also, most people that don't have insurance, don't have a lot of money in general, so I'm not sure how helpful this would be, unless there are places that provide reasonably competent care for pennies in comparison to what I've seen.
Outrage is all the rage right now. If it wasn't clear in this video, this is just a guy doing some youtube videos on the side, trying to coordinate things with friends and volunteers. If you watched several of his videos, this is entirely obvious, and he does not try to hide it. He is not an investigative journalist or detective, so you have to take that into account, as he may not be as rigorous in some of his methods. I was obviously skeptical when he lent the device to other people, as anyone should be. Based on the evidence, you could possibly blame him for being naive or gullible, but that is about it. If you have a problem with it going forward, just don't watch his videos, and simply question the credibility of any information where he is the source. Although, I suspect people will take it further though (harassment, etc), and I hope he doesn't suffer undue consequences.
So far, every single company that has announced employee bonuses thanks to the tax bill has followed with an announcement of layoffs shortly afterward. In some cases, the dollar savings of the layoffs almost exactly matched the dollar cost of the bonuses.

Oooh, look, shiny bonuses. (btw we're laying off hundreds/thousands, and forcing people to sign NDA's to get any severance/etc)
"It's very sad and tragic. He could have very easily come to one of his counselors and asked for help,"
Wow, counselors would help him hack the computer system and change his grade? I never understood trying to change your grades through that method, usually there is a separate record somewhere, and you would think someone would notice at some point. Yes, failing a test is bad, but getting caught altering it is much worse.
If you are being officially questioned, there are only two things you need to say - 1. Am I under arrest? 2. I wish to speak with my lawyer.
Very simply because they think you were either involved with or the prime suspect in a crime, and - 1. The police officer is trying to solve a case/send something to the DA, and that is their first priority, the lawyers/court are there to determine what happened. 2. Even if they don't get a confession for a serious crime, they may charge you with whatever they can, to provide time to find more evidence. 3. They have no obligation to tell you the truth or provide any information they have.
The only way to get any view of what is going on is to involve a lawyer.
You have to evaluate what that means for you - 1. How long will you be at the lower pay level? What is their evaluation process? 2. Do you believe in the companies product? 3. Will they require more time from you, and are you willing to put in that time, for less pay? Think about it as less time for everything else in your life. 4. Will this experience truly be better for you in X years? 5. What happens if the Company with the "Better Career Opportunity" runs into financial difficulties? I assume they are less stable, how do you handle situations without a sure footing?
7. Outsource lower level tech jobs to India, but expect people in the US to somehow magically acquire the the experience without having the aforementioned job.
I understand to motive is self-righteous vigilantism and not logic, but lets give it a go. Person A is annoying by talking on their phone. Person B does not like it, so therefore they decide that all people within X radius of them are screwed if they happen to be using a wireless or Wi-Fi device. Perhaps I would rather ignore Person A and use my wireless/Wi-Fi device for something important, but hey Person B could care less. So, Person A is wrapped up in their issue and could care less about how it affects other people, Person B is wrapped up in their issue and could care less about how it affects other people. How is Person B any different from Person A (sans the loud mouth)?
Before a law passes that would declare it terrorism! Unless they pass a law retroactively declaring discussing the option a terroristic threat, which I wouldn't put past the lawmakers... Uh oh, I should shut up, I'm giving them ideas.
In the US they would either pay the federal entity directly, or be required to provide a $10 voucher to but another Sony product. If it was a class action suit, the customers would get no more than $2 a piece, because the lawyers had to get paid. That's the US for you though, suing culture, but only the lawyers get paid.
So, the daily average of releases of iodine-131 and cesium-137 are, according to certain measurements, comparable to Chernobyl. They base this on a 10 day total from Chernobyl. Basic Questions: 1. What 10 days did they pull the average from for Chernobyl and what day or days are they pulling from for Fukushima? 2. What are the totals over the entirety of each disaster (or at least the current estimated total at Fukushima vs Chernobyl)? 3. What other radioactive materials were released in Chernobyl and how do they compare to Fukushima? 4. How did the evacuation and response measures compare? 5. How do the long term containment and clean up processes compare? 6. How do the human exposure variables compare?
In the end though, even evaluating these two data points, they fail to indicate the overall meaning and affect of these values (ie: How does this apply to human health?).
After reading the 5-16, I went on to read Justice Steven's Option, which makes a lot more sense. Imagine that, he tries to be consistent with the constitution, and history!
"A naive solution, from a scientific point of view, would be to poll a random sample of lawyers or other professionals in a police go-to database, and ask them to evaluate whether the picture is child pornography, without any information about where the picture came from."
So, in essence you would be purposefully distributing child porn to a random sample of people. That would solve the problem!
The main mistake Circuit City made IMHO was that their prices were always higher than their primary competitors (Best Buy, CompUSA, etc.).
Circuit City more expensive than Best Buy? It has not been like that in the last 10+ years, at least not in my area. I wouldn't be overly concerned, but now Best Buy is the only shop within at least 60 miles. Guess I have to go exclusively web.
and people in other countries like to buy them. Of course it'll be just an excuse for Wall Street to start speculating, overvaluing game companies, then losing a lot of money.

All it takes is google and searching for "xyz Layoffs"

I have not seen JetBlue, but the others, yes.

If you weren't suing them, I may not have heard of their service. Now that I'm aware of it, I will most likely sign up once they are in my area.

Am I the only one that T-mobile came to mind? I mean if AT&T can't make a deal with them, I'm sure China Telecom would have the $.
Sony should pay up 100 euros to a console owner

Google and the BBC already pay for the "pipes" they use, and end users pay for the "pipes" they use, where is someone not getting paid in this?
Same as the old boss. Tea Parties, Rallies, HAH!

If that is what is meant by under, I work more than 20 feet under my basement all day, and drive under my basement on average more than once a day.

100% of douchebag security companies will manipulate data to sell you something!

an increase in their prices.
