Nothing. All I'm saying is that some really good things, like enlightenment and the industrial revolution came out of Europe - just like the inquision, marxism, WWI, WWII, and so on. I was just kind of typing 'stream of consciousness' pointing out subtly that while some good stuff came from there - the largest mass murders in history did, too.
Nothing, but nothing has been discussed about emergency services providers being an issue.
You're more likely to find this under a CLinton presidency because - surprise! - cops, firemen, and EMTs tend to be white men.
Not to mention the fact that the left is pushing for a $15 minimum wage AFTER The ACA was put in. The net effect would be FEWER benefits going to the working poor after a $15 minimum wage - and the resulting cost of living increase would, in my not substantiated opinion, lead to a further reduction in living standards for the poor. It's an unbelievably bad cycle we're in at the moment.
Unfortunately EVERY new industry that the US gets we seem to be pretty good at casting as far from us as we can.
Look at what Mr. Clinton - who really was Mrs. Clinton because Mr. Clinton was a shill for his wife - during his presidency. Reducing welfare, 3 strikes and you're imprisioned forever laws - and you will find that Mrs. Clinton is NO FRIEND to social safety nets or benefits.
Let's see, the tech community is a substantial portion of US business, and they're left wing to their eyeballs. Car manufacturers seem to be the same way. Even Wall Street, these days, is pretty 'D' - so I don't totally understand your claim.
Agreed and not to mention ; if you're relying on a cloud service such as one sold by Amazon or Google, is this any different than relying on infrastructure like telephones for support phone numbers? Or the electric grid for power?
True, it's unlikely we'd switch power voltages or frequencies, requiring that you retool all your equipment, the way AmaGoogle may change an API on their cloud platforms, but still...
"Private" in terms of fire is difficult to quantify. Where I live, the fire district is (mostly) funded from taxes and none of us make salaries though costs are significant because of the price of equipment and training.
However, we are NOT 'town' or 'state' employees, we are volunteers. So it isn't clear whether we are 'public' or 'private' since the fire district is a separate entity from the town.
There are no federal emergency services, with the exception of the US military acting on external threats.
"Emergency Services" like police and fire are run on a city/county/on occasion state level (aka State Patrol or State Police).
As for privatization, providers of the equipment and telecom for said emergency services department ARE private - such as AT&T in this instance.
It isn't the emergency services that are private, it's a private company, AT&T, that is not routing enhanced 911 to the appropriate call centers.
Indeed, Europe, the continent that gave us enlightenment, the industrial revolution, marxism, world war i, world war ii, imperialism, etc.
Not exactly a group to emulate really. Now the seeds of WWIII are being sown there.
As they already did - witness in 2013 the electric kettles with microphones and wifi chips that were attempted to be imported into Russia from China:

Grow up. Clinton supported outsourcing in a big way because "These were jobs American didn't want!" And Obama supported the TPP - you know, the trade agreement that would have taken the last of the jobs in the country.
New Boss, Same Old Boss.
That's true, slashdot isn't a bastion of special snowflake liberals, but what is so interesting is that it used to be far more left wing than it is now.
And of course you're right about the fringe groups hating science.
They all feel like if they wish hard enough, tinkerbell will come back to life.
Gerald Ford did say it:)
It isn't clear to me how small government is a code for racism and sexism, but I know the idiots do say that. Just like the idiots who say '88' is a code for neo-nazism when in reality it was Earnhardt, the nascar driver, car number.
I won't say that folks aren't racist and sexist - but I see this pretty equally amongst right and left wingers.
Slashdot Mirror
Of course.

Indeed, the "You didn't build that" really was a national confidence killer. And yes, it DID cost more jobs than anyone can imagine.
I'm a trump supporter and I call bullshit here ! LOL.

But it was 911 that failed - NOT the providers of emergency services such as police, fire, medical.

A lot of these countries seem to be first world centric. The article says 'developing countries.'

Plus, since all liberals seem to be terrifed that Mr. Trump will start a global ICBM war, I'd think Enzed would be a great place for you!
Actually bringing in more high skilled manufacturing jobs is absolutely a brilliant idea. Germany is doing very well at the moment.
Now you're all beginningto realize what leftist government really is, aren't you?

Of coures it is :) You just can't see it.
Spying on everyone in the country without cause is not morally reprehensible?
Hear, hear!
I was responding to someone who was referring to 'free healthcare in Germany.' I was simply pointing out -- TANSTAAFL.
