I'll let the 1% go first in BEING AMERICANS who need to EARN IT, instead of finding tax dodges and subverting democracy with their money. Let them be patriotic for a while.
Most of us have the same conflicting thoughts about any decision. Expecting a corporation's motives to be somehow "pure" or "rational" presupposes a regularity of mind that does not exist, neither in man nor in the organizations he makes.
Most times a stand is not principled. It usually happens because it is the best course of action someone can think of at the moment.
You mean Cue. As in cuing an actor for their lines. Not waiting in a queue. Because I'm pretty sure the members of Congress won't wait in line to give us this message
No they wouldn't. Even if you think they are, they're not that stupid. I've worked with software manufacturers (large ones) that supply the DoD. If your software phones home, it had better work without phoning home, too. Or else you won't be used in secure environments. Plus, do you really think they don't have outgoing as well as incoming firewalls?
No, the real issue is that no employer wants their employees remote - communication still just isn't that good. But if the board says outsource, you outsource. And you keep the few you can still see around you in an even tighter grip.
Even if proponents of different religions accept evolution, the parent post was still dead on. People who do not accept reality are ultimately dangerous and should be given mental health counseling so as not to negatively impact society.
Don't give Uber what it wants. Not because it's Uber (which would be a good enough reason in itself), but because history has shown whenever governmental entities deal with corporate entities, the corporation usually comes out on top. It's not that government is stupid - it's just that corporations have a lot more time to concentrate on how to take advantage than government does.

OK, so she was lousy at managing her campaign, too.
So their portable data center is about the size of a container. Why not put it on dry land? Certainly renting ground the size of a container from someone has to be cheaper than running undersea cables. This seems like a stunt, not a business plan.
That will just ensure you spend the next couple hours (at least) waiting for the actual warrant to come through. Unless you actually don't have a warrant out on you - then you might have an improper arrest case. But I doubt the records are in error that often.
A string walks into a bar. The bartender looks at him and yells, "Get out! We don't serve your kind in here."
The string walks out and walks back in a few minutes later looking beat up and disheveled. The bartender looks at him and says menacingly, "Aren't you that string that was in here a couple minutes ago?"
The string looks at the bartender and says, "No. I'm a frayed knot."
After all, having fucked up the world quite a lot with our vaunted "intelligence", it's no wonder nature wants to find a way to stop it. I figure microcephaly is a pretty good way of shrinking intelligence.
The neoliberal crowd loves to complain about capitalism and whine it does not provide social justice etc, but they seem to forget its delivered far more in terms of social justice than ANY system that came before and anything we have seen tried since. Where is the concrete proposal for a better socioeconomic system, and how will it resist corruption etc?
How does capitalism resist corruption? It seems beset by it, as well. Thank goodness no one made capitalists answer your question before it was instituted (because, as you say, it was a vast improvement over what came before).
As long as we have people, we will have corruption of the economic system. The question is not whether a new system will absolutely resist corruption, but whether it can resist corruption as well or better than the current system, while improving social justice. Because right now, capitalism (and its corruption) seems to be worsening rather than improving that particular value.
News that is known is already built into the price. Unless you bought Dow or DuPont a couple months ago and the market thought the merger was worthwhile (not usually for the reasons put out in the press release), you're not going to be making bank. Right now, no pop in the stock price means that no one's making money from the merger except the investment bankers that will be involved in the stock conversions.
A) Ted Cruz will never amass the actual power needed to bring about such a change. As such, his statement, though music to the ears of many people beset by the problems of this visa program, is, frankly, irrelevant.
B) This is merely posturing. He notices that Trump is making political bank with his nativist spiel and wants to jump on that bandwagon. This is a way for him to send a dog whistle to the nativist base without seeming too extreme and, ultimately, without doing anything about the visa program.

Whooooeeeee! what next? Gettin' healthcare from Doctors? That's crazy thinkin'!
No kidding! He should get his health care from his insurance company, like everyone else!

Agreed. A "wouldn't it be nice if the whole world had ponies" story without the ponies.
Maybe it's non-Euclidan geometry?

Given GP's punctuation and grammar, I doubt I would take his word for what the weather was like, let alone the existence of a Supreme Being.
No, you fool! It could be one of Joe's employees making the food. Therefore God exists and evolution is false!

It better not be a pipe dream because otherwise, we're headed for revolution soon.

The entire scientific publishing industry would disappear without your massive overload of papers too.
Nah... That's not a massive overload of papers, it's just that the author lists now take more space than the content.

Anything Brooks says about people and their motivations are wrong for the majority of people. Brooks is a moron.

Scientific language has its own vacoabulary...
Like vacoabulary, I assume?

A DOL labor "certification" which is never actually checked.
