Oh so you want to retro-actively apply it? How far back do you go? The Native Americans will be pleased, you should sign up for one of their support groups.
Having watched all 7 movies this week, I've decided that the franchise really died after ESB.
RoTJ was mostly crap (Jabba's palace an Ewoks were equally as bad as Jar Jar), and the prequels need no further explanation.
Ep7 was so pathetic it's not funny. Lame characters, unoriginal script and plot, and massive holes in the story. I'll watch Ep8 when it comes out, but only because I found a new way to enjoy them, picking the shit out of their weak production.
Defense contractors focus on process rather than getting good people, and over time, the good people leave.
This is all of government, and it has to be that way because you are spending public money. You can always say, but hey Bill Gates or Steve Jobs didn't care about process and look what they achieved. But then neither did Kenny Lay, Bernard Ebbers, Dick Fuld, Bernie Madoff etc etc. and when it comes to the integrity of your nation, it's better to plod along at moderate pace and survive, than to fly and possibly crash and burn.
But the bigger problem I see is the existence of the institute of rent (including interest, which is rent on money) in the first place, leaving generation after generation of those families too poor to escape it paying half their life's earnings with nothing to show for it, nothing to leave to their kids, leaving those kids in the same circumstances generation after generation.
This is solved with supply/demand. More properties means lower prices.
Personally I don't care for inheritance, I think it's a scam to make the rich richer, all individual wealth should go back to the state after death (or maybe have an indexed threshold for an exception if you are below the poverty line).
By having the threat of wealth confiscation for dead people, richer living people will be more inclined to spend their wealth while they are still alive, thus sharing the money around.
As far as I understand, Trump went from rich to richer, with no period of bankruptcy at any point in his career.
I don't know his full life story, but I remember seeing an interview back in the 90's after his initial rise and fall. He was asked about his wealth, and got out of his limo with his 3 piece suit on and pointed to a homeless guy on the street. He replied "that guy has more money than me. He has nothing, I have minus $100 million dollars (or whatever the figure was, it was large), so he is richer than me."
with the end result being that he has earned money at about the same rate as the market average.
If the previous statement was true, then he went from zero to billionaire in about 20 years. That's better than any market I know of.
Curious, what do you think could be done to "fix this" and make health care cost less?
I'm no expert, but it seems the ACA is a good first step. These high costs were previously hidden because corporates don't mind paying high costs for stuff, whereas individuals do.
So first up, even the playing field and expose the true cost to the individual.Tick.
Next is individuals say hang on, this is fucking expensive (It was always expensive you just never saw that). But now this should put pressure on providers (in a truly competitive market - I'm not if this exist in the US?) to find cheaper services, cut the fat and find efficiencies in the industry.
So you are in the first stage of this pain, but eventually, assuming there are genuine market forces at work, the industry should become more efficient. Like most major social change, it could take a generation to turn the ship around, but your kids will thank you for it.
Take the Nazi Party -- aka the "National Socialists". Their early platform fits very poorly into the political compass model; or rather it fits rather neatly into the model in a misleading way. They were authoritarian leftists according to the political compass model.
I disagree. Everyone gets confused by the 'Socialist' part of the National Socialist name. Just like the German Democratic Republic wasn't a democracy, neither were the National Socialists socialist (At least in the modern sense). The modern left is about everyone getting a voice, whatever race, sex or ability you get a go. The Nazis, persecuted everyone who wasn't them, that is extreme right authoritarian at it's finest.
I'm not suggesting we go back to before the ACA, that isn't going to happen. But we can't leave it like it is either.
It only has to be made more efficient. US healthcare costs twice as much ans other similar countries. Fix this, and everything else takes care of itself.
If given that choice early on in my employment history, I could have e invested it and I'd be more well off by having that money grow more,
Or you could've lost it and ended up poor and destitute and a burden on your grand children's generation.
Sure social security isn't perfect, but just letting everyone invest their own money isn't a better solution for society as a whole.
communism is not a good system, but Sanders does not support communism, he supports some socialist policies, which do make sense.
And before any redneck Republicans jump in with the "socialism bad!" response, the military is an example of a socialist policy, and most republicans fully support that.
If they don't, then guess what? They'll lose their ass when trying to compete with companies from those countries when trying to sell to foreign customers.
Not always. Take Gibson or Fender for example. The made in USA version costs twice as much as the foreign built version, and they still sell.
Sometimes with lifestyle brands, the "made-in-where-ever" version can charge a premium and get away with it.
I think Apple could almost do this and the Apple sheep would still follow. Make an iPhone7 in China and Apple iPhone7 Plus in USA (and only use the Apple label on the USA version) with a premium and they'll probably sell more of them.
If people didn't have to borrow half a career's income just to have a place to even sit and starve to death in peace, they could work for much cheaper.
The problem is that developers build the cheapest shit they can, so local govts try to protect their local area by restricting what they can build, then those restrictions drive up prices due to lack of supply. So if we could only enforce quality mass development, we could put a dent in this ridiculous supply issue.
While MJ may not lower IQ, from the people I have met there is a strong correlation between MJ and low IQ.
You must not have spent much time at Uni, plenty of smart people doing weed there. Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, Carl Sagan, even Barry Obama have all admitted to getting on it.
My dope head friends don't really seem to be particularly stupid, but they sure seem to be apathetic and lacking in ambition.
I'm extremely lazy and exhibit all the signs of a pothead, but I don't smoke. I wonder if I did get on it, would my natural lack of ambition be blamed on the weed?
Maybe your couch bound friends were like me already that way inclined, and figured smoking pot makes the couch an even more enjoyable place to be?
Close to 100% for those who ate something they where allergic to.
So send us a link to the source of that claim. Or do you expect people to just believe what you say because you're getting angry? Sorry champ, the world doesn't work like that...
What has that to do with anything?
How do you explain that food allergies were unheard of only 20 years ago, yet in only 2 decades they are considered common? Unlike you, I simply don't believe things because some angry shouty person says so. Either lots of people were dying previously to the world being food allergy aware, in which case you can provide some numbers to back that up, or there's stupid people who think they have food allergies when they don't.
Based on my experience of gluten free, vegan, paleo type idiots I see everyday, I'm going with the latter (but happy to be proven wrong with real information, not just shouting).
That's because WhatsApp is an instant messaging service, and email isn't (even if people try and pretend it is). It defeats the purpose of instant messaging if you don't want your message to be instant.
But this isn't the point. the question was why use any other type of messaging app when you have SMS. As you have demonstrated, other apps (like email) have other features that SMS doesn't have.
It was a question. I'm aware there is a thing called food allergies, but I'd never heard of them until the 90's. So I'm wondering how in the space of 20 years there can be so many people come out of nowhere that are allergic to food. And if you accept that millions of people claim they are on the verge of death if they touch food, you have to accept that millions of people were dying before food allergies became a thing just recently.
I don't think it's asking too much to see some actual numbers before I believe such incredible claims.
Anyway, it's clear our strategy of bombing mud huts in Africa isn't actually working, wouldn't you say?
Impossible to say. Since most of our information comes from the news, which is proven to be unreliable, there are simply not enough facts to make that call.
However one thing I'm sure of, the idea of banning all international travel is a pretty dumb one. It would kill the economy overnight, and people would be starving in the streets before the month is out.

Er, that's not how discussions work sorry...

That doesn't mean that the industry's model didn't take a huge hit - it did.
I don't think it did. The industry as a whole continues to make obscene profits, the only difference that the people with real musical talent don't.
Defense contractors focus on process rather than getting good people, and over time, the good people leave.

Because if there's is one thing that labourers are crying out for, it's more time to toil...

The rise of allergies in developed nations is well documented but not fully understood.
So it won't be too difficult to send a reference then? I mean this could be resolved with a simple link, yet that is suspiciously absent so far.

of course the MJ users are a smart bunch.
there is a strong correlation between MJ and low IQ
These two statements are mutually exclusive.
They'll probably be mostly Android smartphones by 2010, because a new US manufactured iPhone would probably cost $1,000 each.
.
iPhones already cost $1000 here, and people still buy them.

... consists of being outperformed by the average market
Really? He's gone from bankrupt to hundreds of millions in net worth. That's better than any market I know.
why does anyone still lend him money? Other than lucrative bribes, I can't think of any logical reason.
Because he also makes lots of money sometimes. And people like money.
