No, if Trump wins, so will the most radical far-right candidates for Congress--consider the kind of angry ignoramuses voting for Trump, if enough of them turn out to elect him, whom do you think they will vote for in all the congressional races?
It's a joke that someone can put 40 hours in per week with one employer and still need to work a 2nd job or require government assistance simply to pay the bills and put food on the table.
That's only the setup. The punchline is that thanks to computerized "optimization" of shifts, those kinds of workers don't get told what their schedule is until a few days before, and you know if they miss a shift they're fired, the result of which is that one cannot hold two such jobs.
Well, yeah, you can both be right. Taxes went down, but spending didn't. And of course WHAT we spend on matters, and we spend a lot more of our GDP on social programs than we used to.
Repeat after me: 4 trillion dollars wasted in Iraq, 4 trillion dollars wasted in Iraq...
You know those pie charts showing how government spending is distributed? The GOP ones always show military spending as a minor thing; because the GOP assholes count veteran's "benefits", ie medical care for people who are disabled while serving their country, as entitlements instead of as military spending.
I realise what you are saying is effectively believed to be true by millions, but its little more than a cultural myth.
A bit of history, young man: it was first widely promoted by Jack Welch in the 80s (IIRC), CEO of GE at the time. Before that, it was an obscure theory by an obscure academic from the 70s (IIRC). Before that, the idea had never even existed.
Companies have responsibility to their shareholders, to their employees, to their customers, to their partners--how they balance those will vary, but the notion that their only responsibility is to shareholders is utter bullshit, promoted by self-serving sociopaths.
...cherry picked the exact time frame to allow 40-200m (depending on what source you want to use) to grow into 1 billion...
No cherry picking needed. Let's look at the Russell family of indexes, some of the broadest ones available, covering basically the whole market, from their inception not quite 30 years ago. The Russell 3000 has appreciated 6.8x, the 2000 has appreciated 6.7x.
While progress on efficiency is nice, the important criteria is watts/$, not watts/m^2. We have plenty of space on rooftops, over parking lots, and in deserts. But we need to continue to bring down the cost.
Installation costs are a significant portion of the installed watts/$, and they are directly related to m^2.
Additionally, we do not actually "have plenty of space on rooftops".
I suspect in many hospitals, as soon as they found a JW minor was admitted, they had the lawyers on standby.
Many hospitals will not perform surgery on JW children; they refer them to hospitals that specialize in avoiding blood transfusions. (This is for scheduled surgeries; I've never worked with ER staff and I doubt they can turn away an emergency.)
Let's be real. This stuff is not being "recycled". Oh, there might be some places pulling some precious metals out of the mix...
Actually, a prior study found that just over 90% of e-waste shipped to Africa wound up being sold because our discarded items are still better than the low-quality crap that manufacturers sell in the third world.
Also, you have no fucking idea what you are talking about... at all.
And then you post numbers which prove his point to be correct. Hint: 33% + 6% + 4.7% + 0.6% + 20% is most certainly the majority, and is most certainly > 33%.
"force them to justify the KKK to their family, friends, co-workers, and voters", they'd only be preaching to the faithful.
Having grown up in the Deep South, I can assure you that the KKK is a tiny, and generally despised, minority. Sure, they have close friends and family who share their secret, but outside of that tiny subculture, in the broader community, they are subject to scorn and ridicule. Why do you think they're not public with their membership???
By attacking their web sites like that, you reinforce their world view. The only potentially effective action in that list is identifying them; force them to justify the KKK to their family, friends, co-workers, and voters.
Saw an editorial in WaPo today by George Will, about how progressives are so authoritarian because they want climate deniers to shut up. And he quoted an NSF (IIRC) paper about all the uncertainties in the science. A paper from 2001! Sheesh! 15 years ago, I was cautiously skeptical myself, but since then ALL the science keeps coming up the same, no matter how the questions are asked. Skeptics have long since been convinced, only ignorant fools are still arguing--fools like him who have to go back 15 years in order to find any reputable organization questioning it.
This implies the main problem is that the car interface is simply designed to run at a lower power level than this wireless design, and this could be corrected by bumping up the wired interface charge capacity.

And the decline of the USA continues. Experience shits all over youth. At 22 I couldn't code for shit. At 31 I can do 20x what I could at 22...
Well sure, but by the time you're 40 you'll be so senile you'll barely be able to log in ;-)

there are armed police at all UK commercial airports now, have been since 9/11.
There were armed police or army, carrying actual assault rifles, in Heathrow in 1986...

Do you have any clue at all what office space costs?
Hardly obsolete. No-one is saying you now can't still write Swift in 2.2 or even 1.
HAHAHAHA HOOOOH... obviously you don't have experience with the recent years' churn in Xcode vs OS vs SDK versions.
You should look into the concept of "survivorship bias".
I know what it is, and it is completely irrelevant here. You should look into what the funds I mentioned actually are.

You could probably have done those things.
Well, I could have made his billions for sure. I would have taken his inheritance, and put it into an index fund.
Stephen Hawking is no more of a scientist than Sarah Palin.
(hahahaha)
It already is. Has been for a little while now.
A 747 burns through 3,600 Gallons of fuel per hour for just over 416 Passengers. This ship burns 1/3 of that for nearly 9000 people.
No, it burns 1/3 that in each of 3 engines ;-)

If you didn't rip the music with Apple software then when you install iTunes it scans your computer for music it didn't rip and will delete it.
Oh, bullshit. There has never been any such "feature" in iTunes. We're dealing with bugs here, not DRM conspiracies.

The difference is whether or not "followers" actually believe.
