I always figured that making Hillary SoS and giving her the shot at POTUS in 2016 was the reward for not putting up too much of a fight to run against Obama in 2008; Bernie never stood a chance, the deal was done 8 years ago. The Democratic machine probably didn't want Hillary getting into direct confrontation with Palin, a cat fight might alienate Woman voters for years.
Maybe it's time for the EU to put on their big-boy pants and be the "Trusted Adult" that the other kids turn to when they are bullied for a change. Having the EU take over a more equitable share of the United Nations funding and Military operations wouldn't be a bad idea either.
As far as Putin interfering with US elections, maybe the Democrats shouldn't make it so pathetically easy, it's almost an Attractive nuisance, the level of corruption in the progressive movement is only exceeded by it's pervasiveness; the Republicans are only marginally better.
The United States is surrounded by two large friendly nations, and the world's two largest oceans, bedwetter.
The United States is bordered by four countries:
1. Canada, a country that we have very good relations with. We've never had a war with Canada although some would say that the exporting of Celine Dion, Michael Buble and Justin Bieber were a very provocative hostility
2. Mexico, a country who's government we usually have fairly good relations with, but has vast areas under the control of drug cartels. We did have a war with Mexico, which resulted in a little over half of Mexico become US territory.
3. Russia, a country who's leader once vowed to bury us with nuclear bombs. Interestingly we have never fought a war against our quintessential adversary, only with them.
4. Cuba, a country that once hosted some of those nuclear bombs.
Operation != invasion, bedwetter 2) Alaska wasn't a state until the end of the 50's.
Dude seriously what does statehood have to do with being part of the US,
Currently, there are a total of sixteen territories of the United States, five of which are inhabited: Puerto Rico, Guam, Northern Marianas, United States Virgin Islands and American Samoa. The 11 uninhabited territories administered by the Interior Department are Palmyra Atoll, Baker Island, Howland Island, Jarvis Island, Johnston Atoll, Kingman Reef, and Midway Islands. While claimed by the US, Navassa Island, Wake Island, Serranilla Bank and Bajo Nuevo Bank are disputed.[5][6]
Territories have always been a part of the United States.[7] By Act of Congress, the term ‘United States’, when used in a geographical sense, means “the continental United States, Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, Guam, and the Virgin Islands of the United States”.[8] Since political union with the Northern Mariana Islands in 1986, they too are treated as a part of the U.S.[8] An Executive Order in 2007 includes American Samoa as U.S. “geographical extent” duly reflected in U.S. State Department documents.[9] Territories of the United States
Lastly your response to "The Germany/Hitler thing shows not all democracies are good" with a strawman is taken as point conceded. The strawman
Name one democracy the U.S. overthrew to prevent a genocide or a regional war,
has me perplexed, weren't you arguing that the US should stop using it's military power to influence world events, now you seem to be saying it's Okay as long as you approve of it.
The Clintons are not a "wealthy right-wing family" by any stretch of the imagination, Hillary is so far left she has a self-avowed socialist for a running mate.
M0: The total of all physical currency including coinage. M0 = Federal Reserve Notes + US Notes + Coins. It is not relevant whether the currency is held inside or outside of the private banking system as reserves. MB: The total of all physical currency plus Federal Reserve Deposits (special deposits that only banks can have at the Fed). MB = Coins + US Notes + Federal Reserve Notes + Federal Reserve Deposits M1: The total amount of M0 (cash/coin) outside of the private banking system plus the amount of demand deposits, travelers checks and other checkable deposits M2: M1 + most savings accounts, money market accounts, retail money market mutual funds, and small denomination time deposits (certificates of deposit of under $100,000). M3: M2 + all other CDs (large time deposits, institutional money market mutual fund balances), deposits of eurodollars and repurchase agreements.
M0-M3 as I meant when I said Money? There is a lot that the Fed can do to control the money supply, just a tweak of cents to loosen or tighten how much a bank must have on deposit to loan a dollars can change the money supply by billions of dollars.
Why, if we gave corporations a 100% federal deduction on profits paid as dividends to US taxpayers and added a 20% exit tax to non-US taxpayers, I'm sure that tax revenues would go up; Corporate taxes are only 9% and Personal taxes are 40%, Corporate Taxes are just a another Richman's tax shelter
Insurance is not expensive anymore, after Obamacare. And I might note, that Obamacare subsidies are not included in the "Medicare/Medicaid" bucket.
The fuck it ain't, mine is over $900.00 a month and my share is a third of that. Obamacare is only cheap if you have a 5 figure deductible, why even have it then?
... the United States. Spends more than the rest of the world combined, has a thousand military bases around the world, has a penchant for overthrowing democracies - and it hasn't been invaded since the War of 1812.
Notice a trend there, "thousand military bases around the world," and "hasn't been invaded since the War of 1812.", of course your have to exclude the Japanese invading some of the Aleutian Islands in WWII. The Germany/Hitler thing shows not all democracies are good, and the rest shows if your going to have to get in a fight and trash the place, you do it at the other asshole's house.
I rather doubt that automation has reduced labor demand that much, there are many tasks that robotics just aren't that suitable for. Many jobs that were automated were too expensive to have people do, some because they were so dangerous the Workman's Comp Insurance was just insanely expensive, others because they were just mind-numbingly boring that the quality went for shit.
What is happening is the workforce requirements are much more fluid so workers have to be more fluid about acquiring relevant training. This isn't going to happen in social segments that don't place a strong emotional value on education.
That's bullshit. My family came into this country as refugees with almost nothing. We depended on social services while my parents were learning English. I earned my way into school, got a scholarship to go to college. I worked my ass off in college to have a high GPA, worked 20+ hours a week in a lab in addition. I earned my way into an MD PhD program and didn't have to pay for medical school... worked my way into residency and fellowship. In the meantime my parents are earning 5 figures.
United States is the most amazing country in the world, where opportunity is still pretty open. I am so thankful to be here.
For duck's sake, please don't turn it into the country I ran away from.
My guess is your parents hated every second they were on assistance too, that's a big part of the difference, they didn't view public assistance as a career choice.
To avoid inflation at some point someone has to add value to the money, which means someone has to work, some will work harder, others will work smarter. If you give someone $10K in UBI, then somebody put $10K of work value into it; There is No Such Thing as a Free Lunch.
Bankruptcy doesn't mean what you think it means, It occurs when a person's or Company's cash flow is insufficient to meet it's obligations; a Company can be quite profitable due to the ways capital assets are depreciated, yet have insufficient liquid assets to pay it's bills.
Most truly wealthy people have several bankruptcies; to become that wealthy you have to be much less risk adverse than the average person.
It the Telegraph, I'm sure most of their editors and writers are APOEe4 carriers; one wouldn't expect them to know the difference between not growing to the expected size and shrinking.
Aluminium compounds tend to be very low in solubility so it is unlikely to have any effect on us, not to mention it's common metal compound in the Earth's crust anyway.
Exactly, the Hillary supporters don't care, the current DOJ don't care; Putin has no play. If Trump gets elected and the EPA, IRS and DOJ all get "Nuc'ed from orbit, it's the only way to be sure", Putin still has no play because what going to happen will happen anyway.
Putin hates Clinton, Putin really hates Obama, he might get some personal pleasure kicking the two of them in the balls, but he really doesn't have a play. Other than that he's just blowing smoke up their asses.
Clinton is still on precarious legal ground, She can still be charged with failing to safeguard classified information, She can be charged 18 U.S. Code 2071 - Concealment, removal, or mutilation generally, The FBI still has an RICO investigation going on The Clinton Foundation and There's at least two instances of perjury.
What could Putin add that was any more damning; Clinton supporters just don't care, they either think Hillary can do no wrong or they're in the #anybodybutTrump camp.
I don't know jack about the poke-verse, but it seems to me that having people collecting virtual goods located at physical locations is tremendous marketing opportunity. Now I look at something on Ebay or Amazon and the adds follow me around for weeks on the internet. Consider looking at paddle boards online then all of a sudden the two store locally that sell paddle boards become pokestops or pokegyms! If retailers are willing to pay for a Google view or a click, imagine what they would pay for getting a meatsack through the door; and if I actually buy, I'd recieve sum in-game credit or an unlock.
Maybe have a QR code on a drink cup that award a pokemon, occasionally a rare and expensive one, like McD's monopoly game.
If memory serves me correctly, my Grandson was Poke-crazed in grade school and is now 24ish, single adults with disposable income and little life responsibilities are a highly desirable demographic. Seems to me that this would be really easy to monetize through 3rd party marketing
