Ford stops selling vehicles that consume less gas in line with new mobility taxes so only the rich can travel. Affordable vehicles wreaked havoc when the peasant population was able to leave areas with shitty abusive systems in place.
It's a good way to prevent commuters from resting their heads against the windows but you think no company would try to find ways to get more ads? You know what they'll do? Can't literally prevent muting it, but they make it so using the menu to get to the mute, stops your video or restarts it or some crap, to discourage people from stopping the ads from playing.
Obviously you run ads to be so defensive about it, run long now.
If anything it was figuratively, you have your words crossed. It's not possible to literally stick your fingers in your ears and have it caused you not to see the text on your screen.
Lies get a free pass since you have politicians that say the facts can be changed. And where do you get this lies get a free pass anyway? I have first hand fucking knowledge of people who do this, which makes sense for them to do but it's bad for us.
You're the one ignoring it and being like nooo, noo it didn't happen, you can't say that! They're minorities! Shhhh...except, you know, if you look at the worlds population, they're not.
Yep exactly. They'll offer this service as a system to benefit public health etc, get it out there, but in the fine print using the technology allows them to play ads. More specifically they're now trying to find ways of bypassing "I don't want to fucking look at this or hear it so I turn it down or look away".
Like they'll let you have volume control etc but disabled muting the video etc while an ad is playing, and you can't even block your ears.
Right so that person who got laid off, and now using government money to pay their rent, food, basic living.
The foreign worker that are using to replace that job also pays rent, food, basic living, and the extra money goes overseas. Literally, I've spoken to people using temporary foreign worker programs, and I don't blame them for doing it, but they are/literally/ doing it.
The american who wasn't sending money over seas was buying vehicles, getting morgages, going out to eat, and spending their money in America, all the excess, creating the economy.
The foreign worker isn't. You sound like another case of bleeding heart SJW who just goes lalalala sticks their finger in their ears when faced with facts. Like the politicians who say facts can be changed.
Oh my god it doesn't support the politically correct agenda! Shoot it! It doesn't matter if it's accurate or not!.
Bottom line, a lot of it gets abused and it is a net loss. There are plenty of articles on how north america's quality of life is going to decline while other countries increase the quality of life.
Go on, support getting more people for low ages and displace higher paying jobs where the money didn't get sent to other countries.
Significant portion of immigrants have families they need to support and the money goes a lot further in .
It's not a boom for the economy you dummy, they literally ship all the money over seas. Literally you have people coming over here, having better ways to take money for americans and give less back to the american people, the 1% elite take their cut, and the rest leaves your country.
They're literally deflating your quality of living, shipping some of it to another country, and giving more to the 1%.
There are definitely times that there are some specialized skilled people that are amazing and can be used to advance the company further.
But that's like 1%. I mean do they literally stick their fingers in their ears and go lalalalala when someone points out like Disney hiring cheap outsourcing and forcing hired paid employees to train their replacements?
That's at all it is, they just want the bare minimum who can do the job they can get way cheaper since it's still better living standards than in their own country.
Bringing ours down, theirs up, and the middle man taking a chunk of the exchange increasing their life quality is the 1% elite.
Everytime they lay off IT workers and hire outsourced IT, in other countries, then talk about how it would be bad to stop allowing them to hire foreign workers, *ears in finger* lalalalalalala.
Do not care. You fucked up. Taking all the wealth, redistributing it to the top 1%, and countries outside the US.
If someone plans a divorce. If someone wants to make a purchase on a house, etc etc. List goes on forever, why? Because information is power and people will use it to prepare and manipulate. It doesn't have to be illegal.
Like what if someone wanted to motivate a lot of people to use their legal rights to vote down leadership they found shitty? Well, if you knew in advance what people were doing, you could accidentally end up on a no fly list and that it was a mistake, and they promise to remove you..but uh..the process is slow and may take the next few months..you know, until the election is over to get you removed.
There's plenty of dirty legal tricks people can do to royally fuck with someone and mess up timing of things. End to end encryption should be required. What if the government is doing something shady? If they're shady as fuck and let's face it, the information age shows they're still as shady as they have been since the days of monarchs, then they won't suddenly investigate the shit out of you and disrupt your life for reasons of national security that they can't reveal?
God yes they would do it. We all know they do / will / can. They fear encryption because it's hard to know what to lie about and if people are on to your lies if you can't read them talking about it.
It sounds like they don't have access to the resources of the site. E.G original files etc. When they said they can't edit or develop the site it looks like with the contract the web development was a part of it (This is purely a guess to how this problem could exist).
It's also possible the vendor holds the relationship with network solutions, one of those let me do it all for you scenarios that, well lets face it, lots of people don't want to put in the effort of maintaining dns servers or records etc and it's all "mumble jumble" or some crap so it's possible this is also the situation.
There can be a lot of reasons they can't do anything with the site.
People need better education on how to assign value to an object and determine if the function it serves in your life is worth the cost, and to decide if the cost in production or circumstances could lead themselves to a lower price.
Like how was it manufactured, where was it made? Was it in a place known for cheap components and products? Do you need a gimmicky thing?
Like my phone. It's a cheap phone, 100$. Know what it does? Makes phone calls. Great. It does what I need it for. I'm not going to spend 1100$ so I can play candycrush in VR on it. People need to be more grounded.
You can't rely on corporate stores to tell you the proper worth and price for anything.
The proper price in the free market is whatever you can get someone to buy it for.
The source by circuit city literally had people put out sale prices that were higher than their normal prices. You really have to learn to look at the quality of the product, if possible how many people use it, see if you can find actual reviews. Look for the problems and make a decision based on those reviews. Ultimately decide how much it's worth to/you/ to have it. Not buy it because you were told it's a good deal.
Okay so basically you just said "Slashdot shouldn't have comments because it's pointless"
Which you might be right, however if I wanted to live out in the woods which I wouldn't mind either, I'd need a whack of cash to purchase the land, obtain materials if not everything I need is on site, power etc.
Like it's not some cheap thing anyone can pop up if they want to. You need some significant money to accomplish it, and you can't just live off the land. You need to pay for hunting licenses, and there are restrictions to when you can hunt. E.G restrictions to when you can eat unless you have money.
I wouldn't make assumptions that I voted either, or who I voted for if I did. Nor am I saying I intended to make the change for all the shitty people out there. I'm sure a natural disaster large enough will take care of a lot of it at some point.
I also see how any politician that looks like they're not corrupt gets shut down hard by politicians we know are corrupt.
I play by my own rules to change how this will play out, I'm not stuck at some 11$ hour job like many are or even some of my friends, but there is nothing preventing me from seeing the bullshit and calling the bullshit.
If enough people get tired of the bullshit, maybe eventually we'll all come together and change it.
But this idea that one person can change the outlook of everything is crap. One person can be largely responsible for change IF people are following that person, and only if.
That's pretty dumb. I live in the Vancouver area, I can see it first hand.
Companies out here like privately owned tim hortons caught shit because they were using immigrant workers in shitty conditions to get away with paying cheap labor.
Mcdonalds was fined for housing immigrants in shitty conditions taking most of their wages back in rent to get cheap labor. Did you know you can be considered collaborating with criminals just by witnessing what is being done in saying nothing?
Companies constantly claim they need visas for immigrant workers for low end jobs because there isn't enough Canadians to work those jobs. Let me rephrase it for you, "There isn't enough people at the wages we want to pay available". Manipulation of the labor market, this is one of the few places where the free labor market breaks down, as they're finding ways to manipulate the prices using outside sources.
You know, like forcing their current IT staff to train their replacements or lose their severance package. Literally ordered to train their cheaper replacement, some dude who accepted the job for lower wages, and then you're fired.
This is just what I have SEEN in my local area, first hand. Nevermind the rest of the world. (The IT workers it about that bit going on in Disneyland however)
It's completely ignorant and retarded to ignore the silent agreement. Obviously you're on the side that benefits from the exploitation of people but companies don't need to literally communicate with each other to co-operate in suppressing wages.
Now gas stations have been busted for doing it in regards to gas price fixing so they don't compete with each other but there are a significant amount of companies who engage in practices to pay people as little as possible. As companies see other companies do shitty things to lower wages and get people for cheaper, no one one step out of line as they're all doing it to horde money.
There is literally call centers being opened up in places where it's harder to find steady work, getting people to do jobs that usually pay 16-20$ an hour, and companies are letting go of their staff in their main office that are in higher wage areas, and outsourcing to them for 11$ an hour. Constantly looking for people in more desperate areas to force wages lower. They're increasing poverty. Prices aren't cheaper in these towns either for living.
If anything you're more like the climate change deniers. All the data is there, it's getting hotter, and a lot of people have reported the changes, and you're like, naw brah, you're being negative, it'll be fine don't worry about it. Just ignore it and keep doing what you're doing.
The real problem doesn't stem from people who just have basic gender identification differences.
But you really a part of the problem, it's not treated the same as anyone else, it's called inventing new genders and demanding they get recognized and catered to. The doctor form thing was a real issue that came up in the news. It's bullshit to cost tax payers a ton of money so you get a personal feel good on which check box you hit on the form which is completely irrelevant.
That's like asking your religion on a medical form. What you identify as is a personal choice. And if you say you were born that way, if you were a man on an island and never met a woman before, could you identify as a woman? Exactly. Behaviors shouldn't be linked to a gender, if anything people should have learned that.
Your gender is virtually irrelevant in the real world. You can act however you want, you don't need to identify with a gender and then behave within an acceptable stereotypical range.
Gender identification issues is being pushed into "womans sports" bearucratic nightmares asking them to change forms and things in goverment that has no relevance to your persona feelings, and my god the sports issues?
There are physical differences in male and female sexes, there always fucking has been. What the fuck do people think? Gender neutral universe? Like fuck off, get real. It's just the way it is.
So now you have males competing in female sports. Way to set them back, when they win you show them that males are better at being female than females are. The problem is the same problem that we've always had. There's some people who don't care, want to do what they want and don't care where they shit.
Eventually they shit everywhere near them, so they go over somewhere else and shit there. That's like the issues with immigration and those who behave criminally or want laws changed to suit them like their previous country did.
When you suddenly have a bunch of males trying to say they're female. (Because the word gender USED to be used to identify the sex of a creature, but that got changed before laws and events could catch it by special interest groups) and joining female events, they're just shitting there. They're wrecking what it was, and the audiance male and female is going to shrink. You can't force people to like you, your choices, your behaviors, or your decision to change your gender.
It never has to be accepted on a personal level. I don't. I will only promote acceptance of it on a public level. That in, you should be treated fairly as anyone else, feel safe, same rights and respects, but I don't have to be your friend. I just have to hire you based on your skills and as an asset to the company, and work with you as a coworker to complete my tasks. I don't have to like it, I don't have to watch events for it. I don't deserve to be criticized for it either, that's what we're trying to teach everyone right?
INVENTING new orientations, inventing, yes, they're new, they didn't used to exist, people wants to describe how they identify their gender different than all the other choices, doesn't need to be catered to. You/ARE/ being treated like everyone else. As in, these are the choices, pick your sex, and move on.
But the proof in expansion in a particular direction that was a concern is valid and proven. Currently gender identification issues don't really affect me, and that is how it should be. If it makes you happy and it doesn't affect me it's great.
The problem starts when people start getting uppity because the government doesn't recognize their chosen gender that month and that it's not on doctor forms and getting upset that their sex is male but they can't identify or list that they're female on the form because it's how they identify even though when it comes to medication your sex / genetics is what matters and I'm sick of the few individuals who think they deserve special treatment based on how they identify.
I identify as rich but I'm not treated as if I'm rich, and no one can argue that not being rich can cause severe depression, hardship and even lead to suicide.
"Proof of shitty economy and serious exploitation of labor by corporations and working together to lower wages so you work hard jobs full time while staying in poverty" - Source: Anyone who works a low wage job in a city that requires 1700$ a month for a one bedroom apartment, move to another city you say? What? One where there isn't even the low wage job?
I hope your drug addiction isn't because you're not the center of attention. Self improvement, and no one is going to be held hostage by your social needs. If you decide you need more than the average person it's not up to the average person to cater to you.
I've seen it enough, not going to happen. It's like a child that says give me what I want or you don't love me.
No one wants to be responsible for their choices in society. No one, some of us have decided to anyway, but honestly we don't like it either, and there's no way that we're going to cover for you so that you can be irresponsible and do whatever you want.
People keep saying slippery slope fallacy but history has shown pretty much every logical concern fucking came true.
Look at the world around you, and outside of your own country. "Hmm...if we let corporations do whatever they want, they'll probably treat people shitty. Slippery slope fallacy!" And yet unions had to be formed because of poor disposable treatment of workers.
"Let people choose what gender they identify with..." But it'll get out of control if we just let people choose whatever to make them happy "Slippery slope fallacy!"
Agender / genderless Androgyne Bigender Genderqueer / Non-binary Gender bender Hijra Pangender Queer heterosexuality Third gender Trans man Trans woman Transmasculine Transfeminine Trigender Two-Spirit.
Let's not forget gender fluid and a bunch of other shit.
The extremes of many slippery slope fallacies are over the top and don't add up, but there are a lot of less extreme bullshit that will come with the give an inch take a mile. They don't end the world, or cause everyone to end up with a penis in their butt, but people have shown time and time again, that the overall population can't be trusted with the resources to do whatever they want with no oversight peer or otherwise and structure.
And yes, some people ARE going to push further and want to marry them, there are already cases of people pushing to marry non human things / objects.
So yes it's a pretty natural fucking conclusion that the next step is more people pushing to marry them or rights to have their robo sex doll address properly in public or other shit.
They look into the past and see the amount of time people worked.- Back when working a lot afforded you a house, a car, and you could support your family on single income.
Now you work for a fraction of the price, barely make ends meet, while putting in a shit ton of hours. You can't afford a vacation, you have to rent places that can be questionable, your vehicle is falling the fuck apart. You can mostly work and give that money to someone else just for the option to live under a shelter, have food and water, clothes, and transportation to work.
Who the fuck wants to work for that reason? Like fuck off.
I'm pretty sure humans will survive as a species will survive due to our adaptability unless something extremely exotic and rare happens, like some sort of super virus or a large rock hitting the planet.
However the real problem we're trying to tell people, is that the current human population is reaching a limited capacity on current conditions without a continue decline into quality of life for those that even have one.
As we inflate the temperatures on the planet, the sustainable population decreases. Hot places are going to be the first to struggle, places that aren't wealthy that can't afford water pumps and air conditioning to artificially provide cooler temperatures and clean drinking water, are going to die off first.
The first thing that will happen is the life expectancy will drop to previous levels. People are living to 80-100 years old, in these regions that number is going to drop significantly as the elderly will be the first to be killed by the heat and lack of water.
As things get warmer, and crops are affected, the max sustainable population will drop below current populations, and a lot of people are going to die.
Affects for people in cooler climates will be a change in environment and the impact of global trade with countries most affected by the additional heat.
It doesn't mean everyone is going to die and humans are going to die out, it just means a lot of people are going to die, way more than currently are.
I haven't seen it ever mean not cheaper. It doesn't have to be India, there's call centers in Canada even, but any place that performs outsource work that I've seen is low wage employees, usually people with not a lot of experience.
I know people who work for them first hand in north america.
When you have companies who ignorantly and gleefully outsource their IT staff to cheaper alternatives, thinking they'll magically get the best of both worlds, more money for them, and same level of service, you should expect this.
You get what you pay for. Literally. If it's cheaper, there is a reason. When you have competent, experienced IT staff who care about their work and take pride in security and performance, they cost more. Why? Because they know they can get it, and it will save companies money. Even your cheaper IT forces - when one of them gets quite good, and meets all the criteria I mentioned above. Do you think they stay with the cheap outsourced indian IT service? No, they either work directly for a company in north america or a higher paid position with a company wherever they live.
Your cheap outsourced IT staff will always be worse, because you will either get those still learning, or those who never quite got it or cared, and those that learned and became good, will leave.

There are physical differences in male and female sexes, there always fucking has been. What the fuck do people think? Gender neutral universe? Like fuck off, get real. It's just the way it is.
So now you have males competing in female sports. Way to set them back, when they win you show them that males are better at being female than females are.
The problem is the same problem that we've always had. There's some people who don't care, want to do what they want and don't care where they shit.
Eventually they shit everywhere near them, so they go over somewhere else and shit there. That's like the issues with immigration and those who behave criminally or want laws changed to suit them like their previous country did.
When you suddenly have a bunch of males trying to say they're female. (Because the word gender USED to be used to identify the sex of a creature, but that got changed before laws and events could catch it by special interest groups) and joining female events, they're just shitting there. They're wrecking what it was, and the audiance male and female is going to shrink. You can't force people to like you, your choices, your behaviors, or your decision to change your gender.
It never has to be accepted on a personal level. I don't. I will only promote acceptance of it on a public level. That in, you should be treated fairly as anyone else, feel safe, same rights and respects, but I don't have to be your friend. I just have to hire you based on your skills and as an asset to the company, and work with you as a coworker to complete my tasks. I don't have to like it, I don't have to watch events for it. I don't deserve to be criticized for it either, that's what we're trying to teach everyone right?
INVENTING new orientations, inventing, yes, they're new, they didn't used to exist, people wants to describe how they identify their gender different than all the other choices, doesn't need to be catered to. You /ARE/ being treated like everyone else. As in, these are the choices, pick your sex, and move on.
Well I haven't said that they have gone too far.
But the proof in expansion in a particular direction that was a concern is valid and proven. Currently gender identification issues don't really affect me, and that is how it should be. If it makes you happy and it doesn't affect me it's great.
The problem starts when people start getting uppity because the government doesn't recognize their chosen gender that month and that it's not on doctor forms and getting upset that their sex is male but they can't identify or list that they're female on the form because it's how they identify even though when it comes to medication your sex / genetics is what matters and I'm sick of the few individuals who think they deserve special treatment based on how they identify.
I identify as rich but I'm not treated as if I'm rich, and no one can argue that not being rich can cause severe depression, hardship and even lead to suicide.
"Proof of shitty economy and serious exploitation of labor by corporations and working together to lower wages so you work hard jobs full time while staying in poverty" - Source: Anyone who works a low wage job in a city that requires 1700$ a month for a one bedroom apartment, move to another city you say? What? One where there isn't even the low wage job?
You: "Nu uhh, seriously guys, things are great"
I hope your drug addiction isn't because you're not the center of attention. Self improvement, and no one is going to be held hostage by your social needs. If you decide you need more than the average person it's not up to the average person to cater to you.
I've seen it enough, not going to happen. It's like a child that says give me what I want or you don't love me.
No one wants to be responsible for their choices in society. No one, some of us have decided to anyway, but honestly we don't like it either, and there's no way that we're going to cover for you so that you can be irresponsible and do whatever you want.
People keep saying slippery slope fallacy but history has shown pretty much every logical concern fucking came true.
Look at the world around you, and outside of your own country.
"Hmm...if we let corporations do whatever they want, they'll probably treat people shitty. Slippery slope fallacy!"
And yet unions had to be formed because of poor disposable treatment of workers.
"Let people choose what gender they identify with..." But it'll get out of control if we just let people choose whatever to make them happy "Slippery slope fallacy!"

Let's not forget gender fluid and a bunch of other shit.
The extremes of many slippery slope fallacies are over the top and don't add up, but there are a lot of less extreme bullshit that will come with the give an inch take a mile. They don't end the world, or cause everyone to end up with a penis in their butt, but people have shown time and time again, that the overall population can't be trusted with the resources to do whatever they want with no oversight peer or otherwise and structure.
And yes, some people ARE going to push further and want to marry them, there are already cases of people pushing to marry non human things / objects.
So yes it's a pretty natural fucking conclusion that the next step is more people pushing to marry them or rights to have their robo sex doll address properly in public or other shit.
They look into the past and see the amount of time people worked.- Back when working a lot afforded you a house, a car, and you could support your family on single income.
Now you work for a fraction of the price, barely make ends meet, while putting in a shit ton of hours.
You can't afford a vacation, you have to rent places that can be questionable, your vehicle is falling the fuck apart.
You can mostly work and give that money to someone else just for the option to live under a shelter, have food and water, clothes, and transportation to work.
Who the fuck wants to work for that reason? Like fuck off.
I'm pretty sure humans will survive as a species will survive due to our adaptability unless something extremely exotic and rare happens, like some sort of super virus or a large rock hitting the planet.
However the real problem we're trying to tell people, is that the current human population is reaching a limited capacity on current conditions without a continue decline into quality of life for those that even have one.
As we inflate the temperatures on the planet, the sustainable population decreases. Hot places are going to be the first to struggle, places that aren't wealthy that can't afford water pumps and air conditioning to artificially provide cooler temperatures and clean drinking water, are going to die off first.
The first thing that will happen is the life expectancy will drop to previous levels. People are living to 80-100 years old, in these regions that number is going to drop significantly as the elderly will be the first to be killed by the heat and lack of water.
As things get warmer, and crops are affected, the max sustainable population will drop below current populations, and a lot of people are going to die.
Affects for people in cooler climates will be a change in environment and the impact of global trade with countries most affected by the additional heat.
It doesn't mean everyone is going to die and humans are going to die out, it just means a lot of people are going to die, way more than currently are.
I haven't seen it ever mean not cheaper. It doesn't have to be India, there's call centers in Canada even, but any place that performs outsource work that I've seen is low wage employees, usually people with not a lot of experience.
I know people who work for them first hand in north america.
When you have companies who ignorantly and gleefully outsource their IT staff to cheaper alternatives, thinking they'll magically get the best of both worlds, more money for them, and same level of service, you should expect this.
You get what you pay for. Literally. If it's cheaper, there is a reason. When you have competent, experienced IT staff who care about their work and take pride in security and performance, they cost more. Why? Because they know they can get it, and it will save companies money. Even your cheaper IT forces - when one of them gets quite good, and meets all the criteria I mentioned above. Do you think they stay with the cheap outsourced indian IT service? No, they either work directly for a company in north america or a higher paid position with a company wherever they live.
Your cheap outsourced IT staff will always be worse, because you will either get those still learning, or those who never quite got it or cared, and those that learned and became good, will leave.
