still doesn't solve the matching signature requirement, so its still a made up non-existent problem, a hypothetical that you don't need to worry about..
It is no coincidence that 17 states have enacted new voting restrictions just in time for the 2016 presidential election — or that 22 states have toughened access to the ballot box since 2010. Here are those 17 states: Alabama, Arizona, Georgia, Indiana, Kansas, Mississippi, Nebraska, New Hampshire, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia and Wisconsin.
It’s also no coincidence that 16 of these 17 states (save only Rhode Island) have legislatures that are dominated entirely by Republicans. NYU’s Brennan Center for Justice calls this “part of a broader movement to curtail voting rights, which began after the 2010 election, when state lawmakers nationwide started introducing hundreds of harsh measures making it harder to vote.”
In North Carolina — home to perhaps the most gerrymandered legislature in America — the judges were even more emphatic as they connected the dots between the GOP-implemented voter-ID laws and the desire on behalf of Republicans to tamp down the turnout of minority voters unlikely to cast ballots for conservatives. Their ruling painstakingly dismisses any problem with voter fraud in North Carolina, and compiles voluminous evidence that “the ‘problem’ the majority in the General Assembly sought to remedy was emerging support for the minority party.” The legislature, according to the ruling, “unmistakably” sought to “entrench itself” by “targeting voters who, based on race, were unlikely to vote for the majority party.”
sure sounds like fraud to me. the real kind.
and then there was Wisconsin shutting down dmvs or changing their hours, to make them difficult to access. Georgia has moved polling places out of poor and/or black neighborhoods, switching peoples polling places from across the street to 3 buses across town. your party is blatantly deceitful, guilty of blatantly rigging the vote, yet you call democrats the party of deceit?
and now you idiots are calling for the 19th amendment to be repealed, because if woman couldn't vote, trump would easily win?
let me spell it out for you jack: the party of voter fraud is the republican party
In person voter fraud is a manufactured myth created by the GOP to cover up attempts to cause outright voter suppression through those same voter ID laws, knowing that they disproportionately affect the Democratic party and its voters.
In person voter fraud is the most difficult way to commit fraud and carries the least reward. It's also incredibly easy to stop just through simple. Simple voter registration and a roster already stops it in its tracks, simply by the fact that when you show up to your designated polling place they mark your name off a list. Try to show up again or in a different spot, and you don't get to vote!
And lets also not forget that Oregen and several other locales ALREADY use mail in voting as the primary method. and they don't have a problem with fraud.
and theres no way to tell whos been intimidated outside the polling booth either.
its a moot point equally applicable to all potential systems and to bring it up solely as an argument against mail in voting is an exercise in ignorance.
Clinton engaged in a consensual act with Lewinski. Trump described and bragged about a non-consensual act, which makes it assault, and hence an actual crime.
Quite a bit of a difference. And you'd think the "law and order" party, and it's candidate would understand that.
air travel is expensive because they deregulated the industry, which while followed by a short term price crash, also led to massive consolidation, reduced competition, and sure as s--- the prices went back up, and stayed there, only now the service is worse, and in fewer locations.
and did you actually suggest eliminating testing as a way to lower prices and save lives? you're an idiot. you know nothing of this topic.
also lets consider than the autopilot of an airplane is in no way comparable to that of a car. aircraft travel faster, but they also don't fly in anything approaching similar proximity to each other as cars do, often being surrounded on all sides by other cars.
aircraft autopilots also don't actively steer the aircraft after making command decisions. they are not "aware" in the way that SDC are expected to be. rather an autopilot is more typically told to maintain a current attitude, altitude, speed, or course, being more of a self-correcting feedback loop than an actual replacement pilot actively executing some sort of command authority.
it doesn't have to be perfectly safe and you damn well know it. it only needs to be as safe or safer than we expect people to be.
the statistic you cite is meaningless in terms of whether or not we let have some minimum level of reliability of self-driving cars. any idiot should be able to see that we do not improve those statistics by just letting any other idiot put out a self driving car without regard to its reliability and safety.
The Libertarian party had a chance to go mainstream but they blew it big-time.
Indeed.
Johnson is a nice guy, a funny guy (I appreciate him even trying to turn his gaffes into self-deprecating humour), and has a handful of positions I agree with. But otherwise he's a hard right conservative whom I could never support because the overwhelming bad outweighs the couple good things.
Really, they should be running Bill Weld. The man's credentials are better than Johnson's, and he has a functioning brain. Johnson is not now, and may never, be ready for the job of POTUS.
I say this as a person who leans left-libertarian more than liberal (but I will embrace that term when used against for I am not ashamed of it) and mocks the laughable "Libertarians" on the right and thinks their ideology is idiotic
But in the year of Trump/Clinton, they decided to run Johnson, and even I can see the stupidity of that.
I don't know whats worse: the fact you think that's in any sense a logical argument, or that someone modded you up. what kind of idiot would make a logical link to building codes and building fires ?
Hint: higher temperatures can impact water retention of the foliage and soil. it can also shift rain patterns, amplifying the effect. and drier bio matter burns easier.
the intelligent answer is that is both climate and management related.

the ID may be free, but neither getting there nor taking time off to get there is free
then those people are as ignorant as you.
complete and total, manufactured garbage.
still doesn't solve the matching signature requirement, so its still a made up non-existent problem, a hypothetical that you don't need to worry about..

ID's don't prevent voter fraud anyway.

Oregon has unions.
Oregon has vote by mail.
And yet somehow they don't seem to have any problems with voter fraud, OR low turnout.
Seems youre just another anti union troll posting ignorant BS.
Was gonna say, someone better make the SG1 reference
that's it.
keep pretending filibuster didn't exist.
don't forget the sulfuric acid clouds.
Clinton engaged in a consensual act with Lewinski.
Trump described and bragged about a non-consensual act, which makes it assault, and hence an actual crime .
Quite a bit of a difference.

you think libertarians care about history?
if they did, they wouldn't be libertarians, cause they'd know how ignorant their entire belief system is.

so answer the question: should these cars be let on the road before or after those bugs are worked out?
no, the reality is that people are very bad at judging risk at all.
robots cannot possibly EVER be worse.
said by a person who clearly knows nothing about both technology and fallacies.
it doesn't have to be perfectly safe and you damn well know it.
it only needs to be as safe or safer than we expect people to be.

I'm just curious how the hell this problem got past their QA department?
i see my mod stalker went on a downvoting binge.
