First, all college/university graduates earn more during their lifetime. Including people with "Gender Studies" and "Art History" degrees.
I'd just like to point out that those who have passed their college courses and received a degree are probably also more likely to be to self motivated and more intelligent than the overall average population. That likely has more to do with them earning a better wage than actually having the degree. Though, having the credential likely didn't hurt.
The rest of your argument otherwise seems to make sense though.
Cutting NASA's budget is like telling your kids that you have to reduce their allowance by half because you have $100,000 in credit card debt.
It's not even quite like that. It's like lying your kids that you have to reduce their allowance by half because of your massive credit card debt, while just taking their allowance and spending it on your friends instead.
Tell that to the 1% and you'll probably be shot down as a socialist.
One trend that I like that seems to be occurring with stupid people is that while many of them tend to vote against their own best interests (IE Trump and most Republicans in general), fewer are likely to vote in future elections because they tend to be the people too consumed in other stupid shit any more. So there may still be hope for this country.
This is a stupid idea that makes little sense. Netflix, you are not a video game, trying to cater to different platforms to make more money. Sure, getting new viewers by making it easy to use whatever platform the audience prefers, is a very intelligent and well rounded concept that has long since shown to be effective. However, this idea seems to stand in opposition to that sentiment, creating unnecessary virtual barriers to content. I shouldn't have to have a smart phone or be forced to watch content on something that is not my preferred device, just to see these different cuts.
Did EA buy Netflix sometime in the past and I missed it? Come on Netflix...
The UK was always an outlier to the EU. That fact that they dropped out, is not at all surprising - though rather disappointing. However, this isn't a strong indicator for the rest of the EU to break apart. 70 years of alliance means a lot more than 100 years of war.
Would this also be a property of time? That you can't reach absolute zero because doing so, would be akin to stopping time, if only for that specific single point in space?
Now that has me wondering about the singularity in a black hole. And now my brain hearts a little as so many things seem to conflict with all of this.
Sadly, I don't believe you've had the pleasure of discussing this matter with the average Kansan.
According to a large portion of folks here, its always been the same every year and only idiot lefty propagandists could believe that tiny humans could influence the huge earth.
Ok, so we are in agreement that Sanders was very effective at energizing his base. I think its fair to say that Clinton was no so effective at energizing her own base and certainly not effective at energizing Sanders supporters. I think its also fair to say that because the masses voting Democrat were not voting for their candidate largely in strong preference (vis sa vis: not being energized by the candidate), were largely voting Democrat because: 1) they nearly always do so, 2) because they were absolutely against Trump. We also had a lot of Democrats choose to sit this election out. We actually had fewer people voting in this election than in 2012 with an incumbent president.
Therefore, I think its entirely reasonable to say that since Sanders was effective at energizing his base, and would have certainly carried the same people that were voting Democrat regardless and those who were voting against Trump, along with a bunch more people that were quite enthusiastic about the message Sanders was conveying. Trump didn't win by a whole lot in a fair number of states. Adding in this group of people that probably sat it out because the candidate wasn't Sanders, most certainly could have changed the outcome, regardless of whatever the Republicans were attempting to throw at him.
Now, are these same ads in the version people have paid for? If that is the case, then they have a much more serious reason to complain, especially if this is happening on business computers.
I guess you could always still not buy windows 7 and be ad-free again like the rest of us.
Pretty hard to come up with a more divisive strategy than to just call him out as being a socialist, for which he was for a time prior to registering as a Social Democrat. And yet, he still drummed up enormous rallies, took nearly half the votes during the primary season against one of the best known politicians this country has seen in modern times and stood against an enormous machine within the Democratic Party, that was constantly toiling away methods to undercut the possibility he could win.
Are you really going to say it would have been impossible for the presidential candidate to have received the most individual contributions ever, had zero chance to win the presidency? Especially when pretty much all of the news organizations, and pollsters were fuckering their data and distorting their articles to suggest Trump had basically a zero percent chance to win?
Additionally the normal, average woman does not compare to your typical porn star, which may also result in men developing unrealistic standards and thus not having sex with their partner as much due to higher expectations.
So by you claim, people, or more specifically men, willingly choose to not have sex because their partner or possibly other people because they can't find a porn actress level sexual partner?
I'm sorry but that just an incredibly ridiculous claim. The neckbearded browsers of/r/redpill are likely in this group no doubt but they are a very small minority of men thankfully. If people are no longer having sex with their partner due to a loss of sexual attraction, there is a very strong likelihood that much more is going on than just a stronger affinity to other more attractive potential partners. In that case, it would be far too simplistic to make the claim that a person is no longer sexually satisfied by their partners lacking appearance and ability in personifying a porn actress.
We have revised our company policy to include that all non-executive staff must speak fluent Hindi and English.

Its wonderful that your personal moral imperative includes the wellbeing of the global community. However, that global community does not provide you an intrinsic benefit. They provide no true service to you. Your fellow workers in the US do provide an intrinsic benefit when they are gainfully employed however.
When people have money to spend and they actually spend it, it pushes up the economic strength of a country. When money is spent, taxes are being collected to support infrastructure and services, and its creating demand from supplies of goods and services, who employ other people who will spend their earnings on other goods, which all contribute to the tax pool and economic strength of the community and the country.
When a supplier moves their operation over seas, every time you buy a product from that company, you are benefiting their country's economic wellbeing while the infrastructure, services and public economic strength around you crumbles.
Its great that you would want their country to do well, but it shouldnt have to come at the cost of our own countries economic health.
Not necessarily. Define benefit in that circumstance. Less economically wealthy nations tend to be more relaxed on their labor regulations, allowing many of these companies to exploit the labor pool to drive up revenues even further. Poor safety standards, few benefits offered, indentured service, etc, all lead to an overall bad experience for the workers. But yes, they do benefit from the ability to get a job when there may not have been one previously. It may prove to cost them their life however.
And herein lies the inherent problem to the globalized capitalist economy. Eventually, there could be an equalized economy shared across the globe.
Getting to that point however, requires that the economically healthy nations fall while the economically poor nations rise.
The business owner benefits. The bankers benefit. The shareholders benefit. The workers get the shaft. Historically, trends like that lead to bad things.
Maybe the next step can be for them will be to introduce an internet curfew. It can be a cost saving measure so that data only need be collected between 8am and 4pm monday through thursday. Friday through sunday, we'll be expected to take our agression inhibitors. Close the universities, public schools, and public libraries and then burn the books because those spawn ideas of dissent.

Tragically, I'd say upwards of 80% and possibly higher of US internet traffic users utilize only a few large websites so most people won't care and won't notice. This is akin to building and maintaining a super highway with tax dollars right into WalMarts front doors while mainstreet crumbs into a dirt road.
4 years is going to be very painful for a tremendous number of people in this country, whether they want to admit it or not. Though, I'm sure for those truly dedicated to Trumps message, it will always be Obamas fault.
No, they are only going 300,000 to 400,000 miles. Thats all the further the space craft if warrantied for. If they would like to make it all the way back to Earth, they should consider purchasing an extended warranty.
Now you are easily down to 46K and you have not eaten or clothed yourself yet.
You can probably save enough to get 15K in savings.
I don't even make $46k a year and you are worried about running out of that much money while trying to feed and cloth yourself.
Maybe a new suit per year, 2 jeans, a new pair of shorts and a couple of shirts would do it? Who needs to go shopping for clothes every damn week? And if your giganto fat ass cant be satiated on $46k/year, maybe its time to hit the gym.
-2000 For Food and non food Groceries for family of 4 including clothes, shoes, school supplies,sports equipment
This is living very frugallly. If you start having coffees and eating out or sending your kids to piano lessons than suddenly 125K is not enough.
What? Not frugal at all. I can understand with a family of 4 occasionally needing to spend that much in a single month absolutely. Spending that every month on these sort of items is not frugal at all and actually pretty damn up there near luxury.
With a single income household, the stay-home partner needs to be contributing greatly to reduce costs. Thats the only reason for that circumstance to exist outside of disability. That includes budget and meal planning for grocery trips to keep costs down, planning for clothing expenses and watching for sales, etc. If you have a stay at home partner with 2 children at school during the day, that partner better damn well be saving you a fuck ton of money with such support or they need to get a job to add to the income which lessens the financial "burden" of only making $125K. Maybe if they had a job, they wouldn't have the time to waste $2000-$3000 on unnecessary expenses.
I know that happens because I've seen it myself but I fail to see any legitimate reasoning to staying. Clearly they don't make enough with the job they have to live comfortably in the city, why hell stay? Not like its likely to get better for them and probably the opposite is true.
Pretty much anything collecting data on you in exchange for a cheap or free price tag can be considered malware. Thats a large amount of apps in any of the walled gardens for "smart phones". I wouldn't expect anything different for a Windows app store either.
Funny and tragic how this concept was largely adopted from the free app repositories of the linux world.
