And unions aren't organized like corporate structures? Immune to corruption? Loaded at the top and crumbs for the bottom?
Sorry, unions skew the labor market with unsustainable mandates, rigid power structures, perverse incentives, and in my experience, unions enable shitbags to continue to be shitbags
You're a tard. A tired ideology that has only existed as a recognized American polity for 30 years? Sheeit, DEMOCRACY itself must then be a tired ideology x 1000.
What is tired is the concept of nation-states and the dominion of sovereignty by rulers to do whatever the hell they want to their people by any decree. Namely, THE EXACT OPPOSITE OF INDIVIDUALISM
America has it's streaks of individualism but even then you cannot just roll together the idea that individualists and libertarians are one in the same, unless you are accept the conclusion that all conservatives are cult-driven eugenicists and all liberals are drug-addled pedophiles.
Stop jerking off to DailyKos and employ some critical thinking.
"Sure enough when you look into it you see that this shop was basically fleecing people, only making sales because they couldn't get to the state run shops. People don't like getting ripped off because they have no choice, and their government acted on their behalf to put an end to it."
Because owning an LCD TV in a shit hole like Venezuela is a human right.
Yep, this really does demonstrate what to expect from socialized medicine....mainstream doctors using bullshit as medicine.

A limit in the number, option, or variety of choices does not negate the fact that it is still an exercise of free will to commit a crime when you know it is illegal.
Dunno if you heard but it's not all murder, crack rocks, and hookers in the hood. Until that is the case there will always be daily life choices that don't include breaking the law;-)
Yeah, but SSL is probably compromised and many businesses use web portals to do things like build vpn tunnels and access resources. I agree that spying on you at work is more likely than not as compared to home, all things considered.
The author of this hasnt thought out the position very well.
He forgets 2 crucial facts.
1. The advice is to never talk to the cops WITHOUT A LAWYER. It's not the talking to the cops part that has Prof Duane suggests, it's talking to the cops without legal representation, esp'y bc the police are always looking for probable cause for everything all the time, and secondly b/c the police always have defacto legal representation
2. Cops are assholes. Give them an inch and they shove the whole baton in your ass. But prosecutors are a whole different breed of asshole. The cop is at the end of the day nothing more than an on-the-scene stenographer. It's the prosecutor that uses the statements against you. It;s the AG that builds a case when there isnt one there. It;s the government welfare-queen lawyer that uses their track record to (you going to jail) to pad their resume (get elected to the next office to dick you over). Btw, if you are poor it;s his under-achieving college roommate that gets to defend you for free.
hedge your bets in your favor....never talk to the cops. Its a rule so important it gets it's own Commandment (9) AND it's own Amendment (5).
The problem is that you havent thought it through and would prefer to regurgitate the talking points of Maddow and salon.com.
Corporations exist because of big government, not in spite of it
The issue is that Republicans are liars and at the end of the day are all just homophobic Democrats. Bush was not a conservative, not by any real economic measure, but that is Rove and Ailes fault. Of course when you look at the war-agitprop and unapologetic positions of Democrat leadership then you sson realize that democrats are just hedonist war-mongers. Their common fault is that they all believe that their party can fix what the other party has broken.
I always refer to politics with the same analogy:
It is just like professional wrestling. When the cameras are on and the stage is set they are bitter enemies, smashing each with rhetorical chairs and over-the-top storylines. When the lights are turned down and the crowd goes home, they are all backstage drinking beers and swapping wives.
In the end its because the biggest corporatist-whores are the media themselves, the media that has never known a war that it at first didnt love and cheer-lead for, the media that always implicilty calls for legislative action, the same media that can get caught red-handed in a lie but never apologize or be punished.

I'd err on the side of always giving a notice. It might be a one- or two-day notice, but I believe that in the normal process of employment you will find that you have plenty of time to give notice.
Some jobs I did when younger.....in the fitness industry:barf:.... it was typical to see high turnover, no-shows, verbal explosions, and other shit like that. But that is a very unprofessional industry to begin with. People leaving on a whim with no notice was often enough that I always
For the IT crowd i can see a situation where you are being asked to join a project that starts Monday which means you need to tell your boss on a Friday morning that you start your new job Monday....but at least you are giving notice and hopefully NOT crashing all the dev servers on your way out.
Otherwise known as the fallacious bootstraps argument. Hard work =/= getting ahead.
It'd be fallacious only if it weren't true. Sadly, in spite of your narrow and ill-informed view, hard work does indeed == getting ahead for many people every day all over the world.
3.) Network. You're likely to get your best paying gigs as contractor/consultant via people who know you. One of the things you tend to get along with the accomplishments and gray hairs is a long network of contacts, people you know, etc. Another benefit is that if you revisit people you worked with early in your career, you'll find that many of them are managers now, and have the power to make hiring decisions (including designing a job around your specific capabilities). It doesn't always work -- I once had a job custom designed for me, and then HR stepped in and killed it (due to interdepartmental politics), but these things often work out quite well. As an Old Guy (TM), never try the cold call, or submitting your resume as the first thing you do. Get in via contacts.

...or, perhaps, people who enjoy their work and who want to make a difference.
In most groups, perhaps 20% of the people get half the work done. And, they tend to get great raises, promotions, flexibility, and plum projects -- and, yes, they end up working more hours a week than most of the other 80% (sometimes there's a sad case where someone that isn't very competent either manages to hold onto their job by producing enough work -- but working twice as many hours as others to do so, or who works so hard that softhearted managers can't bring themselves to fire them at the first opportunity).
If you think working 80 hours a week will get you in that top 20%, you ARE dumb.
Competent programmers have more than 2x the productivity of the average ones, and GOOD programmers have 10x more productivity than average. They can easily get into the top 20% productivity group by working only 40 hours a week and still make a difference, at the same time out-producing those average programmers working 80 hours a week, and keeping themselves fresh to handle any emergencies.
If you need to work 80 hours a week on a regular basis, you just proved yourself to be an average programmer, at best.
Agreed. It makes you a hard worker which is a qulaity unto it's own, but it also shows that you can't 'work smarter, not harder'
