Coming soon, a law that mandates that all homes be equipped with one of these devices as well as prison sentences for those who attempt to disable them. For the sake of the children, of course. "You are the dead!"
You realize it's perfectly possible to show a loss on your financials and still be making money, right? Especially when your sinking money into a new factory. That's why you ALSO need to look at the balance sheet.
Apples and oranges. I argued that number of units sold is not a smart way to value a company. That's why people use things like P&L statements and balance sheets. You're coming back to me with earnings per share - which can tell you a lot more about a company that just quantity of units sold. Your statement does not refute mine. And still, using only earnings per share can get you in trouble too.
Heck my grandmother is 94. My grandfather passed away 13 years ago. My mother in law is 78, my father in law died 4 years ago. Could be that OP is just full of shit, too.
You can't pull uranium containing ore out of the ground and stick it in a reactor, either. You need to purify and concentrate it and that takes years too.
Sales units sold is completely meaningless when valuing a company. I could sell a billion units and you could sell one, and your company will still be more valuable than mine if I'm losing 100 dollars per unit and you're making 10 dollars per unit.
Pretty sure the infrastructure is NOT in place. You don't go around running your country with crazy amounts of excess capacity. New power plants would need to be built as electrical demand surges. On the bright side, most of the demand would come at night during what is currently "off peak" hours, so a lot of it could be soaked up. But that would mean running plants 24/7 that currently only run during peak hours. You can do that for a while but not forever. New plants would have to be built, along with new towers and substations. Which means they need to start building them TODAY to be ready in time.
They need to start building those plants NOW if they want them ready by 2040. It's only 23 years away. The plants take time to build and the fuel takes time to manufacture. This will be another one of those stupid deadlines that gets pushed back forever because politicians have no idea what they're doing. I expect the deadline to slip to 2050, 2060, etc.
I hope France is gearing up to produce the massive amounts of electricity that will be needed to replace fossil fuel powered cars. Or maybe they're just forgetting that batteries need to be recharged somehow. I wonder if burning 1 million litres of gasoline in 1 power plant is more efficient and less economically damaging than burning 1 million litres of gasoline in 1 giant power plant and then shipping all that electricity 1 million cars.
But think of all the savings when you don't have to keep expanding your stretched infrastructure to cater to an exploding population. Seriously this is a non issue. Governments never have trouble coming up with more money, especially for such a temporary problem.
schools work with employers, especially ones filling apprentice type jobs with on-the-job training
Oh you mean unpaid internships? Yeah sure, if you're going to give me some slaves for 6 months or a year I'm sure I can find work for them. Do you think employers will "work with schools" out of the kindness of their hearts? Where's the profit in that? There are hundreds if not thousands of candidates for any job opening. It's not hard for an employer to find employees. Why should I even take the time to set up some sort of "program"? Unless of course, you're going to promise me suckers who are told that their "experience" is their salary.
Amazing how the US is behind absolutely everyone else in terms of laws that actually protect workers.
Of course is it really the fault of the operating system when the PUBLISHER'S WEBSITE is hacked and contaminated distros have to be downloaded for it to work?
Greed isn't defined as anything that you push on someone else.
No, greed is literally pushing everyone else out of the way so you can have it all for yourself. Doesn't matter what the resource is. Usually it's money, but any other limited resource will do. Greed is fuck you, get out of my way, I'm taking it all.
Simplicity is just another form of greed. You're greedy with your time. You don't want to put the work/effort in - let some other fucker worry about that.
Being a serial killer is just "being the way you are" too. Murder should be legal by your argument.
There is a difference between someone who prefers to have sex with another consenting adult, regardless of their sex, and someone who likes to have sex with children. It's even more unfortunate that the law does not blur the lines of pedophilia and lumps a well developed girl of 17 years and 11 months with a 5 year old. It's perfectly natural to feel sexual attraction to a pretty and developed 17 year old - though acting on that desire might not be legal. It is not natural to crave a frightened and screaming 3 year old. The instinct is for protecting the young immature ones, not having sex with them.
However since the 17 year old and the 2 year old are grouped in the same category of "children" and anyone caught with either is considered a "pedophile" and receives the same legal treatment, this distorts people's perceptions. Since most people are stupid, the distortions usually tend towards stupidity.
So when McDonald's stops you from bringing in your 5 gallon jug to fill at the soda fountain because they offer "free refills", you are going to scream that they're "holding you for ransom" too?
If you sell a lot of items you're not a casual user, in which case you should be able to afford or at least look into other solutions for your image problem instead of forcing someone else to pay for your bandwidth. Ahh, but greed.
Proving that you know nothing about science. There is only one right answer. However it might not be the complete answer. For example, Einstein's relativity does not refute Newton - it ADDS to it.

Beating the shit out of your wife is also a battery.

hope to get out and leave someone else hold the bag.
You just described the stock market. And the bond market. And the Federal Reserve...

The way Pelosi looks nowadays I think she'll be starring as Elon Musk's ballsack.

Need a high school diploma to get a decent job, but can't get the diploma until you have a job. How to make more burger flippers.

Like being gay, it's just the way you are.

Stop using photobucket. That's what they want anyway. It takes all of 2 mins to find somewhere else to host your images.
Just like multiplication invalidates addition right?

Guys, this is just part of using a modern operating system. You're just going to have to get used to getting your system pwned.
