I don't get the distinction. A "family" owns a farm. One of the daughters goes off to the big city and gets one of those fancy business degrees. Comes back and tells the family to incorporate in order to protect their personal assets (the family home). She also advises them on how to properly deal with futures, investing the proper amount of resources in equipment, how to deal with debt and other such matters...one being, how to take advantage of tax breaks which duly elected representatives put in place for them. It is now a "corporate-owned" farm, but ran much more like a profitable business.
Constitutional right? You have a constitutional right to make anonymous phone calls? How about throwing rocks from behind bushes? Do you have a right to do that too?
If I have a meeting with a bunch of people and "agree" to give away your house, the other people may get upset, but they don't get to have your house.
Obama had a meeting with a bunch of people, and agreed to give away the American taxpayer's money. There is a process he has to go through before he is able to do that. He didn't go through the process. "They" don't get to have our money. Cry me a river.
And why would the autonomous, single seat vehicle carry me all the way across town using a road every day. It will know where the "commuter train" is, and will time it's pick-up of me to intersect and dock with the train. It will then undock, drive me to work, then either wait for a passenger call or return to dock with the train. The whole thing will be run Uber/Lyft style.
And, why wouldn't a 4 or even 8 seater (with separate compartments) be useful? In the morning and evening, it seems that everyone is heading from the suburbs to the work center (or vice versa) at the same time anyway. People would put in a call on their cell phones, and the networked car would work out a pickup/dropoff schedule that would prioritize minimum rider time and total occupancy.
The radio in the Jeep is programmed with the VIN. If you find a cheap replacement on Ebay, it won't work in your Jeep unless the seller gives you the VIN of the one it came out of.
And those assumptions can be categorically dismissed by observing communities where three generations have lived on welfare. It seems that UBI is pushed by people who have never spent significant time in these sort of communities.
I was always confused by how the Section 8 housing in my hometown was always the most trashed out place in the city, while the people (especially the able bodied men) that lived there just walked around it, ignoring it. Every few years the city would come in to clean them up and renovate the place. A year later, the place would be trashed out again. I always wondered why the people who benefitted from the free or nearly free housing were not required to spend time cleaning the place. With so much free time, why wouldn't they want to.
DarkOx, you see the world entirely to clearly. I've seen what welfare does to people (family members). They sit around waiting on their government check so that they have money for bread and circus. UBI would not be used for support as they "tried new things". It would be used as an excuse to walk away from their useful, but mind numbing job.
Zuckerberg had privilege to fall back on while he developed Facebook, but he also had pressure not to be a failure from those he would have fallen back on. Funny how he is ignorant of sub-cultures that do not emphasize and expect success.
(f) Whoever, being entrusted with or having lawful possession or control of any document, writing, code book, signal book, sketch, photograph, photographic negative, blueprint, plan, map, model, instrument, appliance, note, or information, relating to the national defense, (1) through gross negligence permits the same to be removed from its proper place of custody or delivered to anyone in violation of his trust, or to be lost, stolen, abstracted, or destroyed, or (2) having knowledge that the same has been illegally removed from its proper place of custody or delivered to anyone in violation of its trust, or lost, or stolen, abstracted, or destroyed, and fails to make prompt report of such loss, theft, abstraction, or destruction to his superior officer— Shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both.
What would happen if those employees had asked to use their own Blackberries like the President had, were denied, but decided to set up their own servers instead?
So, Flynn's transgression was that he took the money directly instead of setting up a phony "charity" trust in Canada and funneling the money through that? I understand now.
Ever consider that the obvious liberal media might have been attempting to tilt the Republican field to have the least desirable candidate come out on top? Not such a difficult thing to do with such a large field. Have the best candidates lose support early, when the monetary support was still spread thin.

How is that a bad thing?
What happens to the price of that "grass" when 15.8 million acres of it are planted?

I have. And from your comment, it is apparent that you haven't.
in what way is the USA super successful?
It's got the most guns.
Funny how you answered your own question.
Well, it sucks to be "them" then.

Why not?
What makes anyone "deserving" of medical treatment, proper or otherwise?
The power to reduce it by one is always in your hands, trevc.
Which is still a misnomer. Every one of those people will die eventually anyway.

Whoosh!!
Like who? Hillary Clinton?

Yes. And the inventor of the TV thought that it would be used to broadcast education, classical plays and orchestra performances.
Today, we have a President as a result of reality TV.
Number 2 is the reason it will never be implemented.
When have you even seen bureaucracy decreased?

Welfare is a de-motivating force.
Citation very badly needed.

I don't like the way you talk about Instagram.
Why did you not scroll down to Title 18, 793(f)?
