... but she was a fundamentally unelectable candidate, and everyone knew it.
Considering the fact that she won more than 50% of the vote, I think it's a stretch to call her "unelectable." She just had the wrong 50%.
Hilary was definitely unelectable. But, since Trump was also unelectable, it was the classic unstoppable force vs immovable object. Someone had to get in.
I don't know much about my dad's side of the family, but though my maternal grandparents died in their 70s, one of my aunts lived to 89, the other got just short of the century mark (97). My mom's still going strong at 82.
No, it's not. 1,000 poor people can buy 1,000 1 dollar burgers. One rich person might have more money than the 1,000 combined, but he's not going to buy 1,000 burgers.
The only "understanding" I got from my foreign languages in HS was just how terrible foreign language learning is! Though, TBF, my own experience was unusually bad, even by American HS foreign language standards.
Unless I misunderstand how it works in the US, if both Trump and Pence were removed from office this very moment the presidency would fall to the president pro tempore of the senate, who is currently Senator Orrin Hatch (A Republican).
I know nothing of his politics or whether he'd be for or against h1b reform though.
Actually, it would go to Speaker of the House, Paul Ryan. President Pro-Tempre (not sure about spelling) of the Senate is #4.
Just because you can't name an ad doesn't mean it hasn't affected you. Recognition is many times more powerful than recall. Advertisers know that. That Domino's ad that started playing as you got up to take a crap still -reminded- you that Domino's exists and it's an easy option for getting pizza when you want it right away. The next time you think pizza, you may be more likely to think Domino's. The next time you see a Domino's delivery car or pass a Domino's shop, the same neural pathways in your brain are getting reinforced, that were reinforced by each ad you -think- you ignored.
Maybe you're the special snowflake that really doesn't end up buying things due to advertiser influence. Or perhaps you're just a cheap bastard like I am and you stick with cheap crap instead of name brands. But advertising works on most people more than they admit -or- realize.
It's possible that I'll subconsciously remember Domino's when I want pizza. Or, I might associate it with taking a crap! It could go either way.
Me: "WTF is wrong with this stupid computer?! FOAD!!! FOAD!!!" Echo: "I beg your pardon?!" Me: "Oh, sorry honey not you. I was talking to my W10 laptop".
The last time I tried making a phone call in my car, it didn't understand half of what I was trying to say. Luckily, I was still in the driveway, because if I'd been driving, I probably would have crashed into a tree while yelling at my !@#$ phone. For me, at least, it's fine for receiving calls, but terrible at making them.

Yeah, if someone says "Fuchsia" to me, my first thought is "Gesundheit".
Here's a 2014 report on a company that tried to limit employee bathroom use to 6 minutes per day. http://abcnews.go.com/Business...
I'd really be pissed about that!
They don't really need sensors for that!
Sadly, with Trump & Hilary, Cthulhu IS the lesser evil!
making sure someone has the authority to make medical decisions if something should happen to you.
It's called medical power of attorney, and you do not need to be married to do this.
True, but it helps if there's someone you trust to do that.
Hell, at 1.5% why not keep it in your mattress instead?
His mattress isn't FDIC insured.
I'm an old guy. My very first CD, back in the mid to late 80's paid a whopping 8%!! Now, they make something like 0.0007%. :(
Not going to happen. One man's greed is another man's necessity. Some people consider air conditioning and TV to be necessities.
Are you saying they aren't?

You would probably only notice that someone in your apartment megacomplex died because after a few months in Summer it starts to smell funny.
Actually, the last apartment building I lived in didn't smell that great when everyone was alive!

If you want to say this is bad, fine, it's bad and should be changed. If you want to say it's unique to Trump, no it isn't.

Advertising can make the difference where I buy the things I do need.
Me too, but not always a positive difference. I've also decided against places due to bad ads.
Often, ignoring is the best case for them. There are several companies that I won't do business with because their ads make me barf.
I don't have a problem with the 30-60 day grace period that Dropbox claims to have. I do think 6-8 years is too long! :p

I doubt that the Average Tesla driver knows any more about piloting than the Average Joe. S/he's just richer.
I couldn't even watch at set time when I DIDN'T have a DVR. I recorded on my VCR like crazy in the 90s when I was too busy to watch many evenings.
It is good to have a bunch of shows on Netflix right now during the winter break when regular TV is even crappier than usual.
