Actually GM cars didn't work all that well and their price was too high so folks didn't buy them and they went bankrupt.
Just like solar power companies.
Let's see, energy companies pay taxes on the oil/gas/coal they extract. Their employees pay taxes. In addition to the extraction taxes they pay corporate profit taxes.
Yeah, energy companies pay nothing.
As for pollution, I hate to tell you this but making solar panels isn't exactly low pollution.
This would be true if we used oil to make electricity which, for the most part in the United States of America, we don't.
(Don't come back saying lots of villages in Alaska use diesel generators because I know that. I'm talking about grid power throughout the land)
But they do.
My state levies a significant tax on minerals extracted and puts the money in a wealth fund.
Yes, yes, they DO pay for mineral extractions.
No, it's that the original NANP - North American Numbering Plan - called for area codes to have a zero or a one as their middle digit. This was to distinguish them from their exchange codes, which had 1-9 as their second digit.
It had nothing to do with long distance.
When DDD/STD (Distance Direct Dialing/Subscriber Trunk Dialing was added it was necessary that one dial all ten digits, whilst before it was only necessary to dial 7, or in some areas, fewer, as you could dial a 4 digit line number in some areas and be connected with the person in your exchange with that number. When IDDD (I=International) came into being in the mid sixties, IIRC, that was when dialing '1' before your area code+exchange+number became required.
Incorrect. It depended on where you were. From wikipedia:
On February 16, 1968, Senator Rankin Fite completed the first 9-1-1 call made in the United States in Haleyville, Alabama. The serving telephone company was then Alabama Telephone Company. This Haleyville 9-1-1 system is still in operation today.
And the UK had their equivalent service, 999, in the late 1920s, IIRC.
Not only that but now the actual calls are also retained.
That was said quite clearly when this whole thing blew open - but nobody paid attention to it.
Couple this with the fact that bottled water is often of dubious quality, and can have a foul taste and smell.
If you want better water than your municipal tap get a Berkey water filter (with a Doulton candle NOT one of those 'black berkey' filters) and put the water in your bottle.
In times of total war, like the countries where fighting were taking place in Europe and Asia, or the economic power houses of Canada and the US, there are no civilian populations.
A skilled craftsman, making airplanes, rifles, etc. is as much a fighting man as a soldier - he just gets less dirty.
Hitler. National socialist. Sounds left wing to me. Let's see, he said many things our incumbent President has. He called for socialization of many things.
Hmmmm.
Your'e right. But guess what? Look at what Obama and CLinton before him did - the EXACT SAME THING.
You leftie morons are even more tiresome than the rightie morons.
Tell me what candidate does not do these. Obama spent a campaign saying "hope and change" - what were the specifics? Now we know, destruction of the economy, the judicial system, and our form of government.
Am I missing something? Above it says Pebble is laying off 40 people which will bring headcount down to 80. Then it says this is 25% of the total. Isn't it 33 1/3%?
Or maybe this is why they are having issues?
The reason why we have EMRs is because companies like McKesson lobbied to have them in the bill. They make a lot of money from medical software. A LOT of it.

Democratic Party - yeah I agree with you.
How did you get this from what I said? Are you having reality problems?
I'm not saying what was done was right, but that I understand the motivation, even if I cannot support it.

Gee, if you move to Boston you'll have to switch to tonic.

Rather like the probably of your death rises as you go through life - never mind there's always a 100% probability of death.
Indeed. The idea of wasting fuel to ship WATER just amazes me. Frozen concentrated juice is best - and add your own water.

Especially since at this stage we have the choice to eat less rather than being forced by circumstance to do so.
I dunno...it's not hard to find 20 ounce containers of orange juice in convenience stores.

hear, hear.

You are deranged. But wait, anti-semite Hilary is just wonderful isn't she?
