It is hard an expensive unless you want to force everyone to drive a tin can with a sticker of +30K.
Look at the Prius today, one of the most fuel efficient vehicles out there, still gets only 55MPG rating. Moreover, it stickers for 25,000 USD for the base model and for this price it doesn't come even with electric seats while being effectively a compact tin can. No thank you very much. I'll take my Accord instead.
What was cool about facebook is that it connected college students to each other. I was on facebook because all of my friends were on it. But later facebook opened to the greater public, globally, and then I saw a friend request in 2012 from an aunt and cousins I haven't spoken to in 15 years (and didn't wish to do it again, really) I decided that the only way to deny this request "gracefully" is simply to leave facebook. And I haven't missed it since then.
That's a great post. Your agenda could be easily a Democratic agenda if somebody transported all of the 1960s and 70s Dems into our time. People who call Bernie a socialist forget that he wouldn't be out of place in the Democratic party of the 1970s. But the Dems we have now have become completely disconnected from their traditional electoral "base", which were the ordinary working folks and the unions. Their new base is feminists and minorities, and the Wall Street bankers. It's not really an accident that Hillary and her campaign did not campaign much in Wisconsin, Michigan, and the rest of the Rustbelt. They had nothing to say to people living here.
Disgruntled Republicans aren't going to vote Hillary- they would shoot themselves before voting for her.
Forget the Republicans. Independents are not going to vote for her either.
I don't think she could even win the dem primaries again. The liberals, besides those living inside of a number of elitist bubbles known as the big coastal cities and the huffpo/dailykos discussion forums, are not going to vote for her in the primaries. She is the candidate, who despite having access to near unlimited finance and mainstream media resources, already demonstrated that she can't beat even Trump, the man everyone thought was a clown and a scandal magnet.
Now imagine if she had to run against someone like Mike Pence, Paul Ryan, or Nikki Hailey. It's just hopeless.
In 2012, Ukraine's president was on friendly terms with Russia. The Syrian civil war was only getting started. Russian did not send it's air-force into Syria until mid-2015.
DNC thinks it can prove what Mueller couldn't so far. Frankly, the collusion conspiracy theory is getting so tiring. The Dems have gone insane and they will lose the White House again in 2020 because they can't seem to offer any new vision for the party.
How many of these people became prime members accidentally after clicking on "yes, ship with item for free with amazon prime two day shipping" without reading the fine print that they need to pay a hundred bucks for yearly membership?
If Trump's name didn't somehow get attached to this story, the Cambridge Analytica whistle blower would have been only a small blip on the landscape of the news media.
Attach Trump or Putin name to any story, however dry or souped up it may be, and the media will immediately pick and run with it.
I guess this is what Lockheed Martin really needed, we can all agree with that. The private sector couldn't have come up with an excuse to build another supersonic airliner after Concode, but NASA thinks it knows better and will spend 200+ millions of taxpayer money on this BS program. Lockheed Martin's executives and lobbyists are pouring some expensive Champagne right now.
This doesn't happen in the race. In qualifying yes.
safety-lap nonsense
Safety car was used for decades, and not only in F1 but in most other motorsports.
"Rules on overtaking".. in a race? Beyond "don't kill people", what's the point of that?
Actually, we talk about the rules specifically when accidents happen. When two cars go into a tight corner, and there is no room for both of them to fit, somebody has got to give up the position, or they crash. That's why in corner accidents, the car on the inside of turn is usually treated as culpable unless it was already nearly side by side entering the turns.
Frackly sir, you don't seem to know much about racing..
So Apple almost owns the entire space for tablets costing 300USD or more. Amazon sells very very cheap tablets for 50-150USD. Within these tight brackets there exists very little room for Android tablets to exist and strive. If you look at what Samsung offers for the 200-300, it's only the ancient Tab A products.
The Chinese have proven they can make a smartphone with large 1080p screen, good build quality and camera, adequate performance and then sell it for 200-250USD (Honor 5x,6x,7x, Moto G5 Plus, etc). I got an Honor 6X at Best Buy and I don't know why one needs an 800 phone when the 6X basically runs the same apps and performs with good fluidity under most usage scenarios (the only issue that does with performance is that camera UI can be laggy or stutter).
Too bad Best Buy will be dropping this brand. I can assume they will also drop the Chinese Lenovo and ZTE phones too, and then what's going to happen to the competition?
If the British confirm that Kremlin was behind the poisoning of the Russian ex-spy double-agent, I am afraid the CIA will have to poison Snowden in retaliation
-How can you call Russia, Iran, and Turkey top three meddlers if USA and its allies are occupying a quarter of territory of Syria right now.
- Russia and Iran are not the "meddlers" in Syria. Their presence is legitimized by the request of Syrian government, you know, the one that's holding the seat at UN.
-On the other hand, Turkey and USA are occupying the Syrian territory completely illegally because the Syrian government never requested or allowed the presence of their troops on its territory.
Russia has far more to do with arming jihadists in Syria.
That's total BS. Russia has been fighting Islamic terror for two decades now. It is the Obama administration who supplied the TOW anti-tank missiles to the "Free Syrian Army", the entity that consisted pretty much of Al-Queda affiliated groups since a long time ago.
And the middle east is on fire primarily because of USA, sorry my necon "friend". The USA broke Iraq and started the civil war over there, the civil war that spilled into neighboring Syria. The USA was the one that approved the bombing of Libya in 2011, and Libya is on fire right now too. The USA is the country that has been supplying Saudi Arabia with weapons, and continues doing so, even though Saudi Arabia has bombed every water tower, gas station, and an ox cart in Yemen, resulting in a widespread famine and the spread of cholera, but strangely according to you none of this is USA fault. It's apparently primarily Russia's fault. Please. Why not just shut up when there is nothing NOTHING that supports your argument.
US has meddled in the elections and politics of other countries for decades, including 1996 Russian presidential elections, the Georgian politics during and after the Rose Revolution of 2003, Ukrainian politics and elections of 2003 and during and after the 2013-14 constitutional crisis. Not to mention the open aggression against the governments of Iraq (2003), Libya (2011), and Syria (2011 through now).
USA is the one who broke the international agreements (Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty in 2000s) and possibly even Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty (by placing sea-based cruise missile launchers on European soil). USA invaded for no excusable reason Iraq, armed and supported jihadists in Syria, and bombed Libya resulting in civil war that lasts to this day. Much of the middle east is on fire because of the US actions, with hundreds of thousands dead, and millions displaced. But Putin turns out to be actually the bad guy and a jerk.
But strangely, Apple provides operating system updates for its mobile products for roughly five years and still makes a whole lot of money. There is no need to fix an older iphone or ipad because they're just too slow at that point.

There was an American company that sold sanctioned goods to Iran and went unpunished?
Hillary's campaign employed DC crooks too.
