So instead of having a simple concise law that can be enforced! NO texting while driving. We now have a useless law that brings in carelessness and intent.
Since it is so easy for government, lawyers and judges to interpret what someone was thinking and capable of.
I think this is just trial lawyers looking to make money when people die because of others carelessness and stupidity, but as long as the lawyers make big bucks. After all government is just what you can buy.
The trial lawyers gives millions to the politicians and bureaucrats they own to make sure America never goes loser pays. And this is bipartisan somewhat but mostly dem, but reps take the money also, so it will never be changed.
That is why legal fees in America are out of control. Even if you win your out all your legal fees. So the corrupt lawyers always win and will always continue to sue over stupid stuff.
Of all the things that I wish our forefathers put in the Constitution was loser pays. Along with a balanced budget except if we have a declared war;)
TBH it is the main driver of our out of control medical and business costs.
The CTO and all the managers/leads that created the opportunity for this to happen are the true failures.
And to think, they are all still there, so that place is still really messed up.
Seems to me this is not a single point of failure, it is multiple points of failure acting in unison. There was a lot of passing the buck and ducking all responsibility going on. Not to mention several individuals not doing their jobs.
A final thought, I sure would not want to work in a corrosive, petty and vindictive environment like that. I know it does not help now, but drive on. Not working there may turn out to be a, not totally bad thing for his sanity and future in the long run.
The real test is not how well one handles success, but in how one responds to failure.
All I meant was, when people throw out the term Net Neutrally. A majority of individuals have not clue what it means and thus just fill in their own often incorrect definition.
Thus who could be against it!
And Yes I am for true Net Neutrality;)
Using a term like Net Neutrality is a trap, Who could be against that. But the important part is what the definition is!!
Manipulate/Manage packets in order to market Special Services/Spy/Track/Record. ISP should lose their common carrier status.
If an ISP just passes the traffic, without inspection, they should have common carrier status.
Just my 2 cents.
The only time I tune in the networks is to watch NFL football. I hope the strike is over before the season starts;) Would be a shame to not have good scripts for each game;)
Maybe if the writers wrote fewer scripts for commercials and more scripts for interesting content they would do better;)
i don't think these individuals understand what Moore's law is about!
"quick wins like carbon taxes and energy efficiency regulations" Good Grief!! Shakes Head;)
Since the inception of Social Security. The excess funds paid in to Social Security Trust Fund each was diverted to other spending and balanced out by placing US TBills in the Social Security Accounts
Basically, the federal government has always used the trust fund as a huge slush fund.
The Social Security Administration started cashing in those US TBills a few years ago, Because the in coming contributions no longer covered the out going payments.
And a US TBill is a call on current year tax revenue in the year it is cashed in
The Social Security Trust Fund no longer has positive cash flow! And the account excess is dropping fast.
This budget just moves money around in the discretionary spending part of the budget, which only makes up about 34% of the total federal budget.
To be specific it moves approx. 55 billion from non-military spending to military spending. But does nothing to fix our approx. 500 billion yearly budget deficit..
I agree we should cut the military!! But since discretionary spending only makes up 34% of federal spending. But it is the easier part to cut.
But the entitlements are the biggest problem 47% (with interest being 19%) when it comes to getting to a fiscally responsible budget.
We have been sending the credit card bill to future generations for decades.
And if I were young I would be screaming about that! Because the young will pay in to Social Security, Medicare their entire lives and never get a penny back.
The federal government says our National Debt is near 20 Trillion dollars. But that is a misdirection so they can hide the fact we are almost over the edge.
Once one considers the future liabilities (promised benefits) of Social Security (SSA & SSD), Medicare and Medicad which are all off budget (hidden) we are close to 100 Trillion in debt. And those programs in 2015(maybe 2014) made up 47% of all Federal spending. Medicad alone grew at a pace of 27% in 2015!!
And consider that Interest on our National Debt made up another 19% of Federal Spending!!
I don't think this can be hidden for more than 4-5 years before the bottom falls out. Then the drastic spending spending cuts will get made.
Because the Federal level politicians and bureaucrats will need to really start making big cuts in the entitlement programs just to save their own pay checks and retirements.
One last item, this is a bi partisan problem (Dems and Repubs) they have diverted the funds paid in for 50+ year to spend on other stuff!
But it is going to happen if we don't start cutting big time now!!
Don't get me wrong, I believe in real research like this. Makes more sense to me than federal dollars going to study shrimp on mini tread mills or why some humans can't smell their urine after eating asparagus. Some of these dollars spent on federal studies are nuts;) Just saying

Valid point! The sad truth is 6 of 10 people (granted a guess on my part) on the street can't even tell you who their Representative or Senators are.
Nor did they even know/care that a congressional vote took place.
Anyone standing on their ideological platforms on either side are idiots.
Democrats, Republicans heck they both are just opposite sides of the same rotten to the core coin.
If you are online today, everything you do is being monitored, read, used for marketing and backed up so it will come back on you years from now.
The only things you have which are secure are the thoughts in your mind. And that is only true until you start talking or typing.
Government will always be invasive, that is what government is all about. And it does not matter who is in charge.
Better Yet! Poof!!! Politicians and Government Bureaucrats have "Common Sense" ;) lol

But since 2010, Social Securitys cash expenses have exceeded its cash receipts.
