So, the solution is to have cut off food exports and force everyone in California to eat recycled tofu.
Of course, NYT readers will still enjoy their steaks at the posh fundraisers for 'save the planet' group of the week.
Go back into your trust fund hole.
The coverage of the Olympics is awful. Please stop with the political crap. I want to see the best athletes compete, and am willing to wade through the ads because they pay for my viewing.
NBC seems to be obsessed with gays, terrorists, cold war ideology, Putin as idiot, etc. Leave that to the politicos on your bozo station MSNBC.
Many are critical of the Olympics for the political overtones. Those overtones are 90% the covering press.
Insurance companies, at least life insurance companies are pretty straight forward.
Certainly much more honest than our elected clown show in Washington.
Huh? Sounds like yet another blunder for the hapless AG. If not for physical attributes, he would have been stuffed in the clown car with Hillary and other x-officials before the last election.
BTW, what IS the status of the following criminal investigations so loudly announced?
1. Fast and Furious?
2. Rangles' tax fraud?
3. Bengazi?
4. IRS fraud?
HP took a shitty terminal product, and made it run a DOS, in 1981. It was a PoC and the salesforce blew it off. I know, I was there. Their PCs where nothing more than a collection of off the shelf parts, no innovation. No better than Dell or no-name Asian junk.
Nothing innovative has come out of HP computer systems since 1980. Laser printers were OEMed from Canon, PCs were just clones, UNIX stuff was mediocre and overpriced.
The great company that I had started with when I graduated from college became a collections of old, bitter men and people who couldn't get a job anywhere else. Good luck, Meg.
OK, I generally agree with your lifestyle decisions. I live much the same way. But, we are the few who do save. Most don't. When ready for retirement, we will be staring at the 95% who do not have the money to stop working and enjoy life. If you are 'enjoying' life, you will be taxed into the ground.
The Looters are coming. Listen to the words from the White House. Like her or not, Ayn Rand nailed this. Doubt it? Talk to a professional living in Europe. The government vacuum cleaner is coming to a retirement account near you!
I cannot understand the angst here. If you utilize any of the modern technology, you have no privacy.
The real issue is that we cannot elect government officials who will create and act upon law and regulations to protect our privacy. Instead, we blame 'corporations' or 'corporate greed'. If you want to have a civil society, focus on yourself and the people you elect to run the government. Obama and his clown administration is NOT it.
Snowden broke the law and has probably put many people's lives in danger. That is not up for debate in my opinion. But, we CAN debate the law, the function of the NSA, and the oversight of surveillance. The political establishment in the US failed. Claiming they were 'lied to' is a copout. All politicians who were part of the oversight should be thrown out of office next election. Next time someone throws an Obama T-Shirt at you and talks about how big government is good, ask them why the NSA is running amuck.
We could use REAL science here, but it will never get funded.
After all, we learned from ICCC that peer review will be 'managed' to predetermined outcomes.
Why do real science when you can have so much fun hanging with starlets, drinking good booze, and be entertained by Danish prostitutes at an 'Global Warming' event?
Be careful of jokes. Men who are under the armpit of a dominant female will react violently, as told, when you attack NOW, Greenpeace, or any like Facist organization. And, many men who post here can only get the attention of such a female.
Several years ago, I was in France studying their film business for a potential projector product. One of the heads of the largest chain of theaters in Paris laid out the issue.
The target French (young, with money to spend in theaters) watch the same Hollywood movies that everyone else does. Then, only one out of 25 top movies in France was actually a French movie. The rest of the French movies were 'boring, obtuse, and generally distasteful' for the target markets of mainstream theaters. But, he had to collect a tax for each picture show. The money goes into a 'pot' where it is doled out for 'French' pictures. Another exec told me that generally money goes to productions that have stars who are mistresses of someone important.
Ethnic groups are 'useful idiots' of their selected 'leaders'. They line their pockets while shaking down those who actually do something for a living.
Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton showed the way. MSNBC paved it.
We HAVE strong rent control laws, which is a root cause for the problem. You distort markets with such things, and the results are unpredictable.
Like being a Marxist in Moscow in 1917....
'And the rich desk jockeys don't understand what it's like to not have food to eat or a place to sleep or what it's like to do back breaking manual labor in the freezing cold for 12 hours a day'
How do YOU know? Have you ever gotten your hands dirty?
I worked on an oil rig in temperatures from 100deg to 0deg to make enough money to get through Engineering school. Damn straight I don't feel a bit guilt for what I have earned. And, I resent a bunch of stoned Dead Heads telling me I have to support them and their habits.
Most of the 'homeless' in SF are either mentally ill, or simply do not like to work. The DEMOCRATIC legislature in California insisted that mental ill people be let out of state institutions. So they were. For the people who are not mentally ill, there are jobs in the central valley picking crops, so go there and work for a living!
Thats right. Conspiracy by Monsanto, the GOP, and Fox News!. So what if tens of millions of people in south Asia are alive because of GM strains of rice and maize. I WANT THE WORLD MY WAY!!
XP works, sort of. Given the follow on disasters from Redmond, the average user probably sees no reason to upgrade.
If this is indeed a 'conspiracy' to get people to upgrade, then it will backfire. Google or Apple is not the best choice. MSFT is dead money in the dead world of desktops.
YES.
The US$300M could have been used for something useful...education, road construction, infrastructure. Instead it went as payoff for friends and family of politicians.
Money is sucked out of creative, talented, and hardworking people. Given to morons to waste.
Of course.... guilty rich people ALWAYS blame 'corporations' or Bush administration, or some other vague entity for social ills. If you want to 'educate' the poor on leading a better life, then you also need to convince them not to buy $200 sports jerseys, $100 bottles of Tequila, and designer clothes. Why stop at the products of agribusiness or drug companies? Oh, the rappers, sports heroes, and NY ad agencies will LOVE you. No party invited will be forthcoming. NYT will not publish your story, as it steps on the feet of too many advertisers.
There are probably a LOT of reasons why given drugs are not prescribed. That is a topic of reams of research in many different fields.... and there is never a simple answer. Maybe there is a plot, but more than likely not. But, the real reasons are not of any interest to the authors in the mainstream press if there is a corporate 'conspiracy' involved. Won't get the article in Mother Jones.

I am not surprised you speak 'Shitty French" You speak shitty period. Too much MSNBC.

...bought the 'Hope and Change' hype, and still have the bumper sticker. At least young American is consistent.

Don't tell me.... you determine what is 'substantive'.

So, we have a combo of Libya, Rev Wright, corrupt lawyers, Surface, Win8, and Office.... What could POSSIBLY go wrong?
The WMDs were sent to Syria. We see them now. Truth appears to PISS YOU OFF!
