"I'll give you everything the union shop gets, no questions asked. They can go on strike, get a better deal, and then you'll get that deal. Plus, you don't have to miss that pay while you'd be out on strike."
So if the union in the other smelting operation did not exist, your father's employer would be just as happy to give raises and good benefits? I hope you see that the option of moving to a unionized smelter put pressure on your father's employer to keep wages, benefits, and working conditions at a level competitive to the other business. That your father did not have to unionize to get these is actually a benefit he received from that union without his having to fight or pay dues for. And your comment is to say that all employers are as "enlightened" as his employer, who had a vested interest in competing with the unionized shop, and therefore, we don't need unions. In my mind your note tells me why unions are needed. Without them, there would be fewer salary increases, less safety in the workplace, and soon, companies would lobby Congress to do away with such niceties as weekends off.
Who should be armed? The people who won't show up for 10 minutes? Or the people who are on the scene?
Yeah! Allow a bunch of young adults (many of whom partake of alcohol and other mind-altering substances on a regular basis) easy access to firearms! That sounds like a success strategy to me!
It's unfortunate that RP allowed his name to be used for such drivel. He should have paid more attention to what people were writing.
And so we want a person for President who can't even be bothered to look at what people put out under his own name? Sounds a bit too much like the current one for my tastes.
The simple fact is that Copper is about to become VERY expensive.
The simple fact is that plastic is about to become VERY VERY expensive. China is buying the petroleum that is used to make it as well as working with all countries that have oil reserves to acquire full access to the oil. The simple fact is that there is a limited amount of oil and China is about to use 1000x more than what it currently does.
I personally would invest in Intel or MS before I'd invest in your company; on the flip side I'd personally rather work at or do business with your company than either Intel or MS.
And because of this moral lapse, all of us (who would probably do the same thing) ensure that the companies that we would like to work with will vanish. Our money has moral value. If we use it to support evil, we will eventually have only evil.
If Clinton is elected, and she actually does try to censor video games, I'm going to vote against Democrats the rest of my life out of spite.
Wow! What a mature rationale for picking who to vote for as President! With that sort of mind, you could be a Republican!
Fortunately, she's so two-faced, I'm sure she won't actually follow-through on anything she's promised, so I think I'm safe with this one.
Don't worry, she'll have her hands full enough with cleaning up after the last twenty years of Republican legislation that she probably won't have time to get around to video games.
Show evidence. I believe that the problem is that the message is getting out there, but a lot of Republicans who vote in primaries don't especially like it. The first key to winning is ending your self-delusion about primary voters. They are normally the most engaged and knowledgeable about candidates and their positions. If you can't make it with them, you ain't going to make it with the general populace. As many people want your Libertarian paradise as they did a Communist paradise. Paul's over - stick a fork in him and choose your alternative.
You could have balance enforced by the US Tax Code - you know... that IRS thing that gets the Libertarians and Republicans up in arms? Just extend the long-term capital gains tax and up the short-term rate to discourage speculation.

Because people hate Ron Paul supporters?
OK, yeah, it's funny... ABOUT THE FIRST TWO TIMES YOU HEAR IT. After about the fiftieth, though... not so funny - more like... pathetic.

You forgot to mention their lackeys, as well...
... is that they misspelled xapping.
And people say we don't make progress anymore!
We'll send Nurse Bubba to help you with that...
The Fourth Amendment? That's so Eighteenth Century. In America, only old people use the Fourth Amendment.
... the "where do we put the guys with tasers" problem.
I wouldn't probe Steve Balmer or any of the other Microsoft guys even with the EU's d... never mind.

As an atheist, I'd view that day as anything but dark.

On the other hand, plug-in electrics (which are what we need) will have to wait until 2030. Thanks for your insightful R&D allocations, GM.

As such, this is a really good time to get your amateur radio license - now without annoying Morse code requirements!
Or even Smalltalk, given that Ruby is YASC (Yet Another Smalltalk Clone).
No, the money is a necessary, but not sufficient, precondition.
