You are ignorant of what's going on in the energy market, your clue should be that your own assessment is in contravention of the wall street press. Storage is there, it's already viable and it's already cheaper than gas. They just executed a 20 year purchase agreement for a solar + storage contract (IIRC it was in Texas) at less than 4cents kwh. That's cheaper than any other source of generation and guarantees 24/7 power.
This isn't even with the big drop in battery prices that's expected as the major battery factories come on line. In case you aren't aware the Tesla gigafactory is one of about 30 similarly sized factories being built right this minute around the world. Batteries prices are projected to fall below the price threshold that they will disrupt entirely the idea of base load. Wall streets been moving money toward this as the trend has intensified, it's been all over the wall street news since 2008 and it's accelerating every year.
Unlike you these people are betting real money on this, billions of dollars are flowing to renewables because of this massive shift in energy production pricing and has been since 2008.
They've already got the vehicle to do it and the US has withdrawn from the group so if they go forward we won't even be able to negotiate or even attend the meetings. All they would need to do is reconvene the Paris working group and assess tariffs against non participating countries, as there's only 3 nonparticipating countries it would be trivial for the rest of the world to apply export tariffs to those countries.
And because we pulled out of the treaty we wouldn't even be able to attend the meeting. But that's what happens when you elect narcissistic ego maniacs whose entire decision process is dominated by how it can help him. He cares so little about this country it's astounding.
The problem is that HE's supposed to record them. That you don't understand that it what makes you ignorant. By law the president is supposed to record everything he does, all his notes, basically the entire record of his governance and then he's supposed to build a library and put all that information in this public library for the public to use after he leave office.
Do you think he's made official record of all the tweets he deleted? Because if he didn't he violated the presidential records act. The point of this bill is to make it explicit that tweets are to be part of the record so that in 4 years when he leaves office he doesn't claim the tweets weren't part of the record and then conveniently leaves out anything that makes him look bad.
If there is any president in history that will violate the presidential records act it's Trump, the egotistical narcissistic despot he is wouldn't allow anything that he doesn't perceive as favorable to be in the record. Hell, look at the little fellatio session he had with his cabinet in front the press the other day where he made everyone in the cabinet stroke his ego for the press making all sorts of bullshit claims. He even claimed to have passed more legislation than any president in history. Make no mistake, without policing by congress this guy will rewrite the record of his presidency after he leave office.
Opiod Deaths are up so significantly precisely because of the DEA. Prior to this rise in death rates people got their illegal narcotic doses as pharmacological certified doses in the form of pills with highly regulated dose amounts so no one was accidentally overdosing. No one in the political right could let people have fun with chemicals so the government cracked down, removed the supply of hillbilly heroin and all those users switched to real heroin with all it's bad side effects like unregulated doses that kill people.
The crackdown on prescription abuse led directly to the rise in heroin abuse. As always, prohibition doesn't work, it only makes things worse.
Nobody owns what's in your head. The legal claim Amazon has made is that they own what's in this guys head.
This is the kind of thing that should get companies stomped in court. Unfortunately with the current administration I would expect justice to support Amazon. After all this guy should never be able to work again because he can't forget the stuff he did at amazon therefore amazon owns him, forever.
He was no longer employed by the government. Any such rules outside classified information no longer applied to him. These memo's are the equivalent of a diary, they are a personal recollection of events. They didn't contain classified information. He was free to read them on the nightly news himself.
Imagine if we had this kind of wall-to-wall negative coverage of Obama
I have no problem imagining it, I witnessed it. According to Fox News and every conservative media outlet he was the worst president in history and every single thing he did was the worst and most awful thing ever including things like trying to improve nutrition in schools.
That alone make the entire rest of your comment not even worth reading.Obama was treated worse than an president in history by the press, did you see him complaining as vociferously and stupidly as Trump does? You didn't because he's a fucking adult, not a man baby.
The Espionage Act prevents the jury from hearing any of the details of the case such was motive or why the defendant might have done it. At that point it's a drumhead trial and you're tossing out that whole fair trial thing.
Reigning in the federal government, the grand slogan with no meaning. The bulk of all federal employment is military. The bulk of all spending in government goes in 3 containers, Military, Social Security and Medicare/Medicaid. Eliminating everything else the government does including a whole lot of stuff you want them to do would save about 2% of the budget.
The only way to reduce the federal government is to slash military spending.
They don't do this because Kapersky is one of the ways Russian GRU intelligence is using to exploit and spy on everyone. I have not doubt in my mind it's backdoored to high hell because one of the lead founders was recently arrested for spying and it was noted he was a ranking member of the Russian Intelligence services. This would be like Norton being owned by the NSA. Given that I don't know how anyone can trust Kapersky not to be littered with backdoors and Russian intelligence extra's.
Just an an FYI, Kapersky anti-virus is banned from use on US government computers for this reason just as several Chinese made switches are banned because the company executives are high ranking PRC Army intelligence.
You might not like Microsoft but their executives aren't ranking spies in the NSA or other spy agencies.
Congress mandated this onto the FDA for precisely this reason. It's a massive wealth transfer from the middle class to the drug company investors and executives. They pay congress very well to maintain this blockade.
Congress has forced the FDA to block the sale of imported drugs, the same congress has also blocked the government from negotiating prices even though Medicare and Medicaid combined constitute 80% of all drug and device sales.
Allowing the reimport and negotiation of drug prices would bring US prices into line with the rest of the world.
What most people cheering on the private market don't realize is that your tax dollars are paying for 90% of the sales of these auto-injectors. Schools and other public institutions are required by law to buy these auto-injectors to have on hand in the event someone has an allergic reaction. Much like sovaldi and the other recent record price drugs where 80%+ of the sales are to medicaid and government institutions (prisons) these drug prices are only possible because the government isn't allowed to negotiate pricing like the rest of the world.
Your tax dollars are what's being gouged. There is a simple fix, that is to remember that patents and copyrights are NOT capitalism. They are actually a government enforced monopoly that runs completely counter to a free market. The simple fix is to remove those government mandated monopolies in situations like this. There are also a better secondary fixes like allowing the import of drugs and medical devices which would allow these institutions to purchase the exact same thing from a country where it's sold for 1/100th the price.
It's comments like the chairman of Mylan that make me support the idea of removing their patents when they do shit like this. But the easiest and simplest fix is to allow government programs like Medicare and Medicaid to negotiate prices. In no time at all US drug and device prices would return to levels the rest of the world pays. But the republican party has been blocking such a fix for near on 20 year now, the result being US tax payers are being fleeced to line the pockets of drug executives.
Maybe we need a nice 150% excise tax on the salaries of drug company executives if any of their drugs sell for more than 110% of what Canadians pay.
In a normal circumstance I agree completely. I think the EU is off base here because there is no barrier of entry to search, ad's or commercial sales of any kind. There are more than a half a dozen search engines, dozens of ad companies and hundreds of competing stores.
Nothing at all stops consumers from switching. For that reason alone the EU is off base with any kind of fine. I have no doubt that this fine is being leveled for tax reasons and has nothing at all to do with competition.
The president doesn't have to send treaties to the senate for ratification if he already has the statutory authority to execute them. Status of forces agreements are the very definition of a treaty, when was the last time Congress ratified one of those? I'm not aware they've EVER ratified one. The president already has the authority to make these treaties as he's commander in chief and it's within his authority to enforce the treaty.
Here's a history lesson for you, Since WWII the Senate ratifies less than 5% of treaties signed by our government and it's perfectly legal and constitutional. I know facts get in they way of a good hyperbolic argument without factual basis. I'm sorry, maybe you can find something else completely wrong to get mad about, I'm sure it won't be hard given your lack of education.
The same could be said of the right, states rights aren't important when it comes to sanctuary cities, abortion or anything else. States rights is false flag by the republican party, they believe in it less than the democrats do they just lie about it. Unfortunately their own voters are stupid enough to believe them while they try to take states rights away and dramatically expand federal power.
TSLA stock fluctuates more than 100 points in 6 month cycles. It will be all about proof, if she has any they are going to get soaked because now she's got a retaliation claim to go with the sex harassment claim.
Companies do it all the time even when the employee is telling the truth, it's about getting back at them for the publicity and embaressment. When the next lady does the same thing and they sue they'll be 300% more likely to win as a pattern has been displayed.
And it's beyond stupid, he took America away from the negotiating table. For a claimed deal maker not sitting at the table is about the stupidest deal you can make! Without the US at the table the rest of the world could decide to impose carbon tariffs on the US exports. You gain absolutely NOTHING by not participating, you can only lose.
The funniest thing of all is that the Paris agreement was 100% voluntary. Each individual nation could set whatever parameters for reduction it wanted including no reduction at all. He could have just changed the numbers and marched on and no one could do anything about it.
The funny this is it takes 3 years to withdraw plus a one year wait after the 3, when he loses in 2020 the new president will be able to halt the process. Hell when the Democrats take back Congress in 2018 they will be able to halt his action. If he's just stayed in and revised the numbers no one could have stopped him and it would have been immediate.
That would depend entirely on how the Professional Engineering and Architecture licensing laws are written. Nevada's were found to be strong enough to control the use of the word engineer in any circumstance when the state went after Novel Certified Engineers.
