Yes, and now the US is not fixing our infrastructure. It will eventually pay the price. But the billionaires who now run the country will not care. They can sit in the guarded estates, use their aircraft, boats and other do-dads and ignore the rest of society that they raped. They take their money and stash it overseas so they don't pay taxes. They have made their profits on the backs of the middle class and lower paid workers. Most of them are parasites on society and society can't afford them anymore.
I noticed that one of the countries that are in the Trump list is Iraq. Lots of refugees there caused by the destabilization of the country caused by some other country invading it. I wonder what country that was? Then there is another country where the 9-11 terrorists came from that isn't affected by the travel ban. I wonder why that is? Could someone in this administration have a financial interest in this country? Nah, I can't believe something like that. Administration folks are good honest outstanding citizens to have any conflict of interest.
This is hardly a welfare state except for the wealthy moochers who use people like slaves. They started a class war against the middle class, they buy politicians of both parties to give them tax breaks, subsidies that never end, huge megaphones to spout their propaganda about moochers, worse health care outcomes because of the higher costs that make homeowner loose their homes. Yes, we're seeing and will see a lot worse I'm afraid in the days to come. We now have the rule of wealth and extreme selfishness.
Yes, thanks for the review line equation. Unfortunately, our news media is controlled by people with great wealth or can by bought by great wealth. This gives them a bigger megaphone to influence election outcomes. Our politicians are now pretty much owned by their big donors. The recent attempt to change the law restricting drug imports from Canada is a good example of that. A lot of Senators from both parties voted against that.
Yes, and here we have justice for the very rich (bankers, hedge fund operators) and the less rich(whistle blowers, people of color, etc.). Plus we have another kind of corruption, money buying power to change laws to game the system. Capital gains taxes vs income taxes, not paying for social security on capital gains vs income.
Having worked for NOAA and with scientists from NASA in the past, I would trust their data. When I worked there we made our best estimates of errors in the data. In order to publish a paper of our work in a scientific journal (at least in the lab where I worked), it was reviewed by two or three scientists in the our lab. I know of no instance where a paper was changed or rejected by management for political purposes. After that, it would be submitted to a journal for publication. There were usually at least 3-4 anonymous outside reviewers appointed by the journal. In my experience most reviewers were fair, probably some were scientists who could have been competing with me. I would get back my reviews, answer the reviewers questions, then resubmit it. There could be another go around with reviewers and rewrites before it was published. The data was available for other researchers outside the organization if they requested it.
The middle class is being pushed out because of real estate developers taking advantage of the demand by the tech industry employees who have higher incomes. These middle class people are the writers, artists, musicians and other lower paid professions that made San Francisco such a vibrant place. The developers by up housing properties, evict the tenants and build higher priced housing that the former renters can no longer afford. It has caused a lot of resentment from these displaced people toward the tech industry. The local neighborhoods have been destroyed along with the smaller mom and pop type shops. Greed (pardon the expression) trumps the middle class. Alexandria Pelosi has made a documentary about these problems.
I'm sure your right about some of our congressfolkers. However, I think a lot of them should be tried for something since they are taking medical insurance away from people who may die because they can't afford or get health insurance.
Could one be trapped in an accident and you can't break the glass. Some windows now are pretty tough to break now, with this new glass I could see people possibly getting trapped if they can't get the doors open or break the windows to climb out. As far as having the ability to darken the rear window should be a non issue, lots of vehicles don't have windows in the rear. However, side windows would certainly be a no no.
Yes and most scientists are not in it for the money. They have the brainpower to make much more money in other fields. They do it because they are curious about what goes on in our world, how things work. They want to contribute to our knowledge. If climate were not important, they would work on something else. Not everyone works to get rich. What we have in Wisconsin is a state being run by some very rich folks who seem to be taking away democracy from its people.
Oh really? Been to Florida lately? Perhaps in the 80s, we were worried about a nuclear winter, when so many nuclear weapons could have been used and the fallout could last for years or decades, causing global cooling. That is a big deal.
What evidence do you have to support your claim? Have you done any studies on climate change? Do you have a model to back up what you say? Please publish it if you do so we won't be so worried about the changing climate.
No, maybe its our own choosing not to be "filthy rich". Maybe we're not greedy, would rather do something worthwhile than pushing money around not contributing to society. There are so few "filthy rich" people who give back to society. Most are just greedy takers who are just leeches on society. They've learned to manipulate the system. I would rather try to make the world a better place than have so much money that I'd have to worry about keeping it and keep up a shopping spree for things that I wouldn't even enjoy.
I like your comments on this. It would be interesting to break this down further to see how many interactions are needed per unit time for different personality types and the correlation with mental health. I read somewhere that very intelligent people need fewer interactions and friends, but that doesn't tell us how healthy they are. If one looks at politicians in light of this study, it appears that they are in dire need of friends and medications.
I'm cancelling too, I do like Acorn and will keep it as I like some of the British works. There are some good things on YOUtube also. I used to like Netflix, but not anymore.
Yes we can. Snowden should be pardoned. This administration is the worst when it comes to protecting whistle blowers. It puts them in prison for calling out what our government is doing in our name. We have the right to know this. We have interfered in so many other governments and caused so much harm and have given no apology. We need to be informed of the harm that has been caused by actions taken by our government. The revelation by Snowden is probably only the tip of the iceburg.
If people are against legal abortion, then they should support sex education in schools, free birth control, government help with child care, etc. We could reduce the need for abortion then. People don't go around saying, "hey, abortion is fun, I think I'll get pregnant and have an abortion."
Yes, put the little guy in prison for a long time, but let the guys off who tanked the economy a few years ago and are going to do it again. Then the government will bail them out again. No prison for the big banksters.
I would be interesting to compare the salaries of CEOs of banks and industries that actually produce something of value in Germany and here in the US. Here money is sucked out of our economy by banks and hedge funds and shipped to offshore accounts leaving our society with less capital to run on.
Yes, my poor wife had several and she had lots of pain, but unfortunately she is in fear of heights or anything like a roller coaster. She would have to be sedated to get on the thing. She drank lots of club soda and took calcium tablets. Needless to say, she has removed these from her diet.
This country needs to return to the tax system in the mid 20th century. These rich kids have nothing more to do than use their money to buy elections. The ordinary citizen gets left out and as a result we have all the money going to the Imperial USA interfering in numerous countries, keeping up endless wars, getting blowback from all sorts of actors that we have generated. This kid is something else.

I would say about 50 years plus or minus 49years.

An all of this because Anthony's weiner was the dick heard round the world.

He is outnumbered many times by the other side. We need to get rid of all money in politics and it corrupting influence.

Good idea, however, a better one might be an all expense paid one way ticket to Mars.
