Laws are like sausages. Fans of either should never watch them being made. - Some dude
When Bush requested $700 billion to bail things out at the end of his term, Congress added $110 billion in pork to get it passed.
This means many, who thought the bill necessary, were prepared to hold it up until they got bought out. Others, who thought the bill awful, voted for it anyway once bought out, too.
Why do you think these people go into power? Hehehehe, to "serve you".
This. Do I feel bad a murderer suffers pain? Not really. But human history is so full of torture as a tool of state, the founding fathers included a ban on it in their wisdom, along with many other gems like freedom of speech and religion and so on, precisely because of abuse of all of it by men trying to stay in power.
Well, since we're going even further forward in time, not only will R2 have lost his ability to fly, but have lost his ability to go up and down stairs.
He took Kahn, a military genius and charismatic leader (the latter of which the original episode went out of their way to belabor) and turned him into a modern autist evil genius.
And these people fancy themselves on the level of founding fathers in that they know, just know, they are capable of editing the first and second amendments because Modernity i.e. they get in the senators' political way, I mean FER DA PEEPUL!!!1!11
We The People have already decided on significant risk allowing driving to begin with.
IMO all regulations should directly be voted on, not least of which because "removing politics" (a chimera) is not actually a desired feature one should be bragging about.
This whole line assumes they would have been idle. While there may be some slack, measuring this (vs. negative slack i.e. overtime) is how you tell if you need more people, when OT becomes chronic with no end in sight and growing.
However, "look busy, eh" is a government worker skill.
As Yahoo's primary market is parents looking for a safe search engine for their kids, I'm sure the show will be edgy as hell with all kinds of questionable humor.
> The reason that the dollar works - that all currency works, > really - is that people need it to interact with the government.
No, governement needs it to interact with people. People tell government to create a stable currency and keep its value. If these are no longer issues, well...
Fat hate derives from some old Dikensian greed BS -- fatass eats too much while people starve. That is no longer the case as, in free societies, farmers produce plenty of food so efficiently it is almost free.
There is no "starving" in any real, historical sense, in nations that are free. So there is no fatass-greexy justification. Quite the opposite.
Fat in modern society is due more to lack of activity. If people worked on their feet for 8 hours they'd be a lot thinner.
And almost all evolutionary history has been under need and want, not plentiful. Desire for fats, the most calorie-dense, is the way to go. If anything is wrong with the modern dier, it's poinds of grains you eat every day in the form of bread and pasta and fries and chips. Look at your typical meal if you don't believe me.
It ain't the meat making you fat. It's the 200 calories out of 500 in the bun of a big mac and the fries. Not the meat and cheese. And the sitting at your job. If you have a job.
You scream at lack of competition...in some markets...and want to solve it by government takeover, ending competition and turning it into a committee that becomes slow-response bloat?
As with socialized medicine, you can't give it out for "free" until someone invents it first, and greedy, profit-seeking capitalism is what drives that fastest. It's not even close.
Every historical democracy failed because they gave over "emergency powers" that were never given back.
The Founding Fathers, for all their warts, were a hell of a lot wiser than current politicians. They foresaw a neverending battle of generation after generation ready to fall into this trap.
In Starship Troopers by Heinlein, the non-intelligent bugs, when stressed, bred a "brain bug", and lo! The stressor magically went away, and the brain bug died.
In The Mote in God's Eye, the Moties had a genius engineer caste...who was completely silent and didn't interfere with the controlling political caste.
We have our Congress and we have our president. These are functionally idiots with precisely one skill: the ability to convince you they are your friend. i.e., as studied by psychologists, the ability to lie convincingly.
Continue serving them like the brain bugs you are.Oh yes...they respect you, they say, throwing you money that is not theirs that you lap up.
Three CBS and one ABC. Production companies don't align either.
The shows themselves may not be objectionable, keep in mind. It may be payback or threat for other things, movies or something. In Iron Man 3, it's probable The Mandarin was converted from an evil actual Chinese guy to a lame cover story so as to not offend lest that and future movies be banned...or taxed extra hard.
Everyone does this -- when CNN post a link to a non-ad article about things to help with arthritis or the latest on diabetes research, they are building profiles of you and your IP address to bind you into higher-profit advertising groups for custom ad serving.
I fail to see how taking up 40% of the screen real estate in landscape mode on a cell phone is "adapted well to mobile".
The asses who do this do not even give an optional close box on these overlays. I look forward to urinating on the grave of the software engineer who invented this monstrosity.
What irritated me was the long cooldowns on powers, combined with magical thieves everywhere who attacked out of invisibility then went back invisible, repeat.
Fights devolved into protracted attrition rolls of the dice, where you tried to position non-casters to eat these every-round hyper backstabs until your casters' blasts recycled. Tank could eat two, everyone else a 1-hit 1-round speed bump sacrifice. If they backstabbed a caster, sigh, reload. If one of your blasts didn't hit, or for enough, sigh, reload.
There was no game, just a stupid strategy to repeat until the rolls went your way.
Those people are lacking principles. DRM is intolerable to anyone with a brain.
Why is it intolerable? My home computer has had "always-on Internet" for 10 years now. People are even forgetting that advertising slogan it's been so long. Assuming non-buggy DRM, occasional Internet outages hardly qualify as an intolerable interruption.

As usual, I will point out the correct solution is to restrict the power of government to begin with. Then it's much less of a plum prize.
Two sides seem to be assuming massive government power is normal and desired, and let's just fight it out for control. None learn from history.

While privacy is preferred, if there is to be a panopticon, it must be one everyone can look through, not just government i.e. people in power.
"With warrant" is not enough -- not when all it takes is one corrupt lackey to abuse it on the orders of a politician.
A drone is just one of many aspects to this new tool of dictatorship...especially when only government can use it.
Well, since we're going even further forward in time, not only will R2 have lost his ability to fly, but have lost his ability to go up and down stairs.
Say the truth!
He took Kahn, a military genius and charismatic leader (the latter of which the original episode went out of their way to belabor) and turned him into a modern autist evil genius.
Well, with few exceptions, all the new parts are relative nobodies i.e. people who can be hired for all 3 movies in advance at a non-superstar rate.

It's the fat that tastes good, not the meat. Go make a burger from fatless steak tartar and prepare to gag. No cheating with mayo or cheese.
Why do you think a filet mignon has bacon around it, or bleu cheese or a cream sauce on it? Bogue without...even flawlessly medium rare.
A veggie patty with some good animal fat substitute is the way to go.

"Hey, big auto companies too evil and powerful. Let's force them to franchise dealerships. It fosters competition and serves the consumer!"
70 years later: "Hey, it's getting in the way of another pet project, arbitrarily change position to suit goal!"
