A lot of that surplus is Cheddar. What's happening right now? That's right, it's aging! Aged cheddar is better, therefore this is just an opportunity in disguise.
That's only because it's a blend of other cheeses. It's not "not real cheese", it's several real cheeses. I'm rather partial to Land o' Lakes White American, which I believe is a cheddar and muenster blend. Not at all rubbery or plasticy like your typical yellow cellophane-wrapped single.
I hate to say it, because people are hurt, but AT&T is a mess. It has become so big that it is rotting out from the inside. It needs to shed staff and sell off entire divisions. It is so big that it can't coordinate it's own actions. Hell, it can't even provide its own people with accurate internal phone directories. It's a phone company that doesn't know its own numbers, has 3 separate and uncoordinated TV services competing with each other, keeps gobbling up other bloated and dying companies outside it's core competency, can't provide decent support, and can't do anything in a timely fashion.
AT&T is broken. It is too big to function. It is too big to survive.
Lenovo isn't exactly trustworthy. They've packed spyware and rootkits into their products before, and probably still are. What do you want to bet that these laptops aren't booting because Lenovo is doing something naughty?
Well, if those bureaucrats let a plane take off and it crashed, they'd be sued into oblivion. They are not going to take that risk. And it's not a consumer drone, it's apparently heavy enough to pose a real threat.
It's Web-oob (WebOut Of Browser), not we-boob. I see no reason to ban a package because someone read the name wrong. That's their fault and the offence they inappropriately take is their problem and their's alone.
It's been demonstrated experimentally with lighting and temperature. Shorten the work week, and for a while, productivity will increase. Then return to normal. Extend the week but shorten the days, productivity will go up. Wait a month or two and return to a normal week, productivity will increase.
Seriously, have you seen what they produced? It's amateurish crap that looks like it belongs on some forum for angry people learning to use image editing tools. Like GifsByLonelyJerks.com.
"From a consumer's point of view, surcharges may be a wash, because if more surcharge revenues come from texting services, less would be needed from voice services,"
Except that you're still adding a new surcharge so there is an instant increase in cost. It's never a wash from the consumer's perspective, only from the tax collectors', and then only after it's been in place.
Besides, the whole point is that, "The report outlines the shrinking revenue coming from a current tax on the telecommunications industry and argues that a new tax on text messaging should be put in place to make up for it", so clearly it won't be a wash because the whole point is extracting more money from consumers. They will notice.
Or Baltimore could increase municipal taxes to provide free transport within its borders and leave West Maryland out of it. Let those who experience the direct benefits bear the direct costs.
As for equitability, is it more fair to treat everyone equally or to try and make their outcomes equal?
Is that fair? Seems to me you're making people in west Maryland pay for people in Baltimore to have free public transportation, when really, that's something that should be paid for by the people who use it.
Does that make sense? Wouldn't eliminating fares reduce the resources available to add more busses or make improvements? That's the only independent revenue stream for transportation, so there is an absolute loss of resources if it ceases.
Did you read the article and see what their arguments were and why they thought it was appropriate to grant the waiver? It doesn't look to me like anyone was trying to break the rules. Given how complex the regulations appear to be, it seems perfectly reasonable for the company and council to have been acting in good faith.
Should employers have to pay enough for someone to live where they work? What about a corner store on the upper West side of Manhattan where rents could run six, seven figures annually?
What if the job you need doing isn't worth that much? What if you could use help at your business, but it's only worth $30k/y to you and you live somewhere where a "living wage" would be $45k/y?
What about part-time workers? Do they get a living wage despite working 20 hours a week instead of 40?
Like getting your sh-t together and making sure things you own work with things you own. I still can't login to any Turner channels with my DirecTV Now account, which is ABSURD. Hell, you have two separate, competing IPTV services!
But instead of trying to coordinate your systems and departments, making sure your left and right hands are working together, you're looking at ways to show people more ads? My patience is not infinite, and I will find a better TV provider if you don't get your ass in gear.
Whoa now, hold on and read the article. They had permission from the city. Their ducks were in a row and they acted in good faith. If the waivers shouldn't have been granted that's on the city, not the company.
So, you don't prove anything, you plan and estimate.
At Wednesday's meeting at City Hall, Allen told City Council members that a 1,561-page memorandum prepared by a consultant for the Boring Co. found no foreseeable significant impacts from tunneling.

As I recall, some of it is "cheese product", the rest is mostly American and Cheddar.

Where exactly did this idea, that being offended by insulting language is abuse, come from? It's nonsense and we need to get away from it.
Well, if those bureaucrats let a plane take off and it crashed, they'd be sued into oblivion. They are not going to take that risk. And it's not a consumer drone, it's apparently heavy enough to pose a real threat.
So, either the drone(s?) is/are staying outside shotgun range, or the police are being huge babies.
I guess they haven't thought of chasing it with a helicopter, from which a shotgun could be fired.

Laughably bad.

What does Marriott have that a government would want to steal? They're a hotel chain, not a defence contractor or research company.

Why, will they have infinite resources? Because that's why money exists and greed matters.

Did collecting $2.27 cost them more than $2.27? What a strange situation.

I'll be happy to welcome you to Georgia, where you won't get punished for trying to run a business or taxed eight ways from Sunday.
