Don't forget that ordinary people - consumers, if yo uwill - pay significantly higher kwH prices than industry - so you must ask yourself "What is the market to which you are referring?' when it comes to "Germany's power is more expensive."
Germany is 1.5 times the size of Wyoming. Wyoming has ~650K people in it. Germany has 82 million.
There are a LOT of people in a SMALL space there. This means fewer transmission line losses as the distance between power station producing and any consumer is much smaller.
What's staggering to me is how many people can be fit in such a small space AND they can grow enough food not only to feed themselves, but have a surplus.
Let's see, muslims from the Caucuses are...caucasian.
Muslims from huge parts of the world are caucasian actually.
It isn't a 'look different' thing. And - gasp - it isn't a muslim ban. It's a ban from countries that DO export Terrorism - at least that's what Obama said.
I suspect, more likely, the companies don't want to spend money on bringing a candidate in for an interview until the very end.
Many things are phrased like it's convenient for employees and potential employees but it's mostly for the convenience of the company. Which is fine, but a bit of honesty would be nice.
But I'd like to see where I'd be living, the environment in which I would be working, and so on.
I'm probably being too sensitive here - not usually a trait that describes me - but is anyone else sick to freaking death of being called a 'coder'?
I kind of hate to say this, but 'coder' sounds rather like 'data entry technician' - someone doing a mindless repetive job.
They already do - it's called fuel taxes and very expensive fuel blends that you pay for.
You can do but one thing: move. But when you get wherever you do, please do NOT say 'well we had this in California, let's have it here!'
If it bought these things, I'd be happy to pay them. If taxes buy sewerage systems, for example, why is it that every time enhancements need to be made bond issues are created?
No, taxes pay for the salaries and pensions of government employees, and little else. Sometimes they accidentally provide services, like cops and teachers, but for the most part, no.
The difference is I suspect at least at one time you got services for those taxes. Perhaps not so much, anymore. But, IIRC, Sweden takes ~40% of GDP in taxes. If you factor in all our taxes it's roughly similar.
So getting us out of TPP is turning a blind to corporate America, who, along with Obama/Clinton, overwhelmingly supported it?
That's merely the first thing that jumped to mind.
English is dominant because of the British Empire , and the US's continuation of political and technological power as that empire waned after WWII.
I don't see the US losing its status in the near future. 50 years from now? Who knows?
You don't become a large empire without believing nationalism is important.
Interestingly enough, I think that once the UK leaves, it'll be Germany alone trying to look outside Europe's borders - and they can't carry it alone. More, I think EU will turn completely inward and, for the most part, leave the world stage within 25 years.
Tragic.
Of course. And Trump used an old term, "Wire tapping" which, if you were born before 1980, meant that the wire on your phone was tapped, interestingly enough.
However, this is not necessary anymore with VOIP.
My observation about the healthier options is that they were mostly grains, which are very, very cheap.
Meat and vegetables are not cheap and those,f or the most part, were not being served.
Clearly, you do not live in farm and ranch country.
Farmers and ranchers KNOW how much technology drives their lives, and are, for the most part, happy with it because it helps them make more money. Their kids are also usually more articulate and intellegent than the idiots in suburbia. This has been my observation living in such an area - though of course, I cannot speak exhaustively on all farm and ranch areas, just the one where I live.

He's a senator, not a congressman.
And perhaps english dominance was merely a result of satellite communication and/or undersea cable , which are late developments. Who knows?

Some of us (older) gen-xers prefer to use complete sentences, so email or (gasp!) paper also works.

Well, I suppose if rubber is gone than oral is a good contraceptive, so yeah, bringing civilization to its knees is quite likely, I guess.

You might be surprised that there's less disagreement with popular values than you think.
Well, on a positive note, we now have perpetual energy as Ayn Rand is spinning in her grave faster and faster all the time.
In other words, it's a management issue. It's a shareholder expectation issue. Mostly it's short term thinking.

His allegation was that he was wiretapped by Obama [presumably by Obama's orders]. This happened.

It's another Democratic Administration policy, 3 strikes and you're out.
8.4% of the prison population are in private prisons and, as of 3Q 16 the feds are eliminating federal private prisons. Your data is incorrect.
