the guys who run the telescopes decided to start calling Pluto a dwarf planet
NO.
Some guys decided to start calling it a Dwarf Planet, after pretty much everyone else attending the IAU had gone home. They conspired to hold a meeting, without a full quorum and voted these BS standards into place. As disgusting a fixing of science as any effing millionaire/billionaire trying to rewrite school textbooks with whatever they personally would rather the youth of the nation end up spouting.
The more inflation, the more the other holders of dollars would be harmed. I think Russia would do themselves far more harm than they would the US and once it's done -- that's all they can do. Russia is currently an exporter of raw materials, not much in the way of manufactured goods. A pretty weak economy. The people of The Crimea will eventually share that benefit, too.
Listening to business people in the Crimea, they're quite aware what leaving Ukraine means to them - closing up shop, laying off workers, pulling up stakes and starting again somewhere where the heavy hand of Russian Customs and Duties will not interfer with supply and distribution.
We also cut funding for Gifted and Talented programs because we don't like to pay taxes, even though our tax rates are some of the lowest in the developed world. Instead we listen to people blather on about privatizing public schools, school voucher programs, increasing charter schools, etc.
It would certainly raise my eyebrows to hear the American people throw their full support behind public schools, which have been derided for decades as virtual slums of education. Stupid is as stupid funds.
A fascinating study I read revealed hand-outs to the poorest people put that money into motion in the economy fastest - the poor don't save, they are usually living hand to mouth and can think of things they need to spend the money on.
Giving it to the rich doesn't result in quick infusions into the economy because they tend to sit on it, squirrel it away, not so much save or invest.
Yet we often hear how cutting taxes on the rich will boost the economy - nothing could be worse, to be frank.

Easy to hunt. Nests vulnerable. Virus brought in by the humans (in a classical reverse of bird flu!) Competed for similar resources?
Possibly the eggs or feathers made great hats.
Well, that's a complete lie.

How is it a lie?
They cant even find a missing airplane. What makes you think they can figure this out.
they find what is important to them. <_<
I am sold!
The government will be using this to spy on you.
Are you still sold?

I remember it well -- before the anti Pluto is a Planet conspiracy. Good to see it's getting some recognition, rather than more damnation.

I see the Putin Propaganda Machine is in full-Stalin mode.
How does marketing and advertising impact this?
Advertising must cater to the poor, wise, rich, foolish, people with spots, or smoking joints, all equally -- fool all the people, all of the time.
you really need this technological wonder device!
I don't think they really ignored them. They just prioritized them incorrectly.
Complacent.
Let's pretend to ignore the giant squid in the kitchen.
Something like that.
The next Vesuvius is about to erupt under corporate headquarters.

So... the emails warning of the threat were treated as spam? That's kinda funny.
Honestly, how hard can be be to look after the source of executive pay?
They'll make you an offer you can't refuse.
Chris Christy isn't the only one with machinations.
You could fly from San Francisco (SFO) to Orlando (MCO) That's a pretty big search radius, if this story is true.
That doesn't bother me.
What bothers me is that Google is constantly changing things and if you don't like it, tough.

Silly you, after mergers things downsize
and then executives cut themselves big bonuses
In other words: Welcome to the grind fest, where if it doesn't consume your entire life then you lose.
Or, by losing you win, but feel you didn't win, so keep trying and keep losing, until you are good enough to win and thus lose.
You could afford a 1541?
Most of us couldn't, cost more than the computer itself!

Sounds complicated. Just burn them and their customers with excessive taxes.
And use those taxes to put the miners on welfare.
Yuh.
But in America, if it has value, it can be seized.
If it has value it can be embezzled.
'Nuff said.
Highway robbery!
I'll get me coat.
No chance I'd go for this, not in a pig's eye. When will they talk about rolling out reasonably priced plans?
