They have banned several Conservative video makers, including Michelle Malkin and HotAir. They have done so recently, despite carrying the videos for over a year without any issues.
Now, Google, the company that bought them, has refused to carry Michelle, LGF, and others as NEWS sites based on the fact that they blog, not present new news. Here are the letters from Google:
If you look at the sites, Michelle Malkin/Hotair (comments disabled on YouTube, or not present on the personal blog), the LGF (The IDF Echo Chamber, where commments and users of any real opposition somehow "disappear"), and Willisms (which has started to go their route) are just angry that they're silenced. This is what happens when their "opposition" gets someone large enough to finally silence them.
When was the last time you saw an RCA TV? a Zenith?
Like brands that actually lasted (even ones such as Curtis-Mathes), finding anything domestic with a circuit in it is like finding the Holy Grail. It supposedly exists, but it is mythical in nature. We have an RCA TV in our living room.
Rebranding doesnt count. I hope you have space for the extra TV to replace that one when it implodes.
As for Walmart, mind the various things they've done (Union hostility by closing a store in Canada (Jonquiere) that "card checked" in Canada by (incorrectly) stating it "barely made a profit", locking employees in and not allowing them to collect overtime, healthcare that is designed to be hard to get- encouraging the abuse of government programs, and pushing cities to build even if the citizens do not want it) would probably make Sam Walton spin at 75rpm in his grave.
You are of course aware that many vehicular Japanese products are manufactured here in North America?
Indeed I am, as well as their use of loopholes in content laws to get their stuff in a country - if there's a rule on content, you end up with something that looks remotely domestic, but has tons of foreign design in the parts; examples being the Pontiac Vibe, Saturn's VUE, the entire lot of pre-BMW Rovers as well as the Civic-like Triumph Acclaim.
With the apparent lack of quality control, seems that the job has to always be monitored. With all the extra time, you might as well send the work to a country that is a bit closer to the US/Western EU and get the job done right the first time. While worker-friendly countries also make mistakes; there is a better chance of getting it right with well-paid, US/Western EU workers than some country that treats its own Rust Belt worse than anything you would see done to the Appalachians or steel workers.
By extension, having a Ph.D. and holding a patent are not particularly helpful if the intended end-user does not have the same level of understanding of the widget as the creator does."
Somehow this lends itself to explain some of the legitimate criticisms of Google. Having it explain Google's doubt for the Midwest outside the occasional visit to a convention would be a bit of a stretch.
Ironically, I am supporting American workers by buying a foreign car. That's funny, I do the same thing, except mine's from GM, but still union made with many miles to go. As for your Honda, it's supporting little in the part of US workers as many of the models are Japanese designs, with US doing assembly work(mostly to get around Buy America laws). No thanks, but I'll take any 3.8L W-body, Grand National, Oldsmobile's various 442's, Northstar powered cars, or some of the earlier Mustangs over the rice gallery. At least there I know if there's something wrong with quality, I can take care of it myself without the crowded engine compartment of a compact.
If you know which models, you can still get something that's domestic from design to showroom, unlike your Honda.
As for Ford, they're not really hurting where they've already been Thatcherized, here the unions actually held out for a longer time.
Unfortunately just going to an exclusive school makes a case against Condi. Yet this administration wouldnt dare to appoint someone to a post that high that actually has the experience and none of the exclusivity in their background.
Who then waged war on the middle class with the new overtime rule about 3 years later. I'd rather have her resignation than anything on the war just for her known conflict of interest with China.
It's not the color of her skin, it's the color of her nose, that makes for her job security. I'd be more apt to look at their education first though. The preference for exclusivist universities (Ivies, Stanford, MIT, Berkeley, and the like) for major posts that dont get swapped out frequently stands out like a sore thumb. He's colorblind when it comes to his administration and picks for major appointments - he's not class blind at all. He's been nominating a lot from his own university, Ivies, and other obscenely exclusive universities if he cant find a special interest.
He's merit blind, but not special interests blind, such as the case with Elaine Chao who pulls off a hat trick for going to two exclusive universities, having conflicts of interest with China in matters of trade, and making one of the most middle-class hostile changes to overtime eligibility. If anyone should be sent packing, it would be in the interest to direct away from Rumsfeld and those involved in the war, and get this person to resign. The war is already a lost cause to get resignations, but calling for her removal and replacement with her polar opposite would do wonders.
To find anyone who's *not* from some very exclusivist school such as Stanford, or some other highly exclusivist connection in the administration is like finding a needle in a haystack - if not rare, they dont last very long or replace someone tarnished by the latest scandal.
If she was a unconnected Midwesterner and/or from a public university, she would have been fired on the spot. Fixed that error for you. Bush wouldnt care what skin color the person was, he only would ask what connections you had.
As much as this whole administration has been with the war and the Jobless Recovery, it's gotten to the point where I'd not mind seeing a Nixon style(Ivy hostile, but this time, Asian trade hostile as well.) administration got installed in 2009 to wash down 8 years of Ivies. The only plausible alternative in ideology would be even more rare to find in a modern form given the hostility towards giving those types the required political connections.
Why aren't they in DC or New York City? It just doesn't make sense to me. There's gambling aplenty in NYC, it's done at Wall Street. They dont want competition.
Nothing wrong with outsourcing. If someone who is better at a certain job happens to be foreign, so what?
I get the feeling that you havent seen the Rust Belt lately, in person. The problem is that large amounts of people are capable of quality production; their only black mark was living in a nation that has good (but eroding) labor standards with leaders that (wrongly) deify businesses.
You'd have a point if there was a way to drop prestige and exclusionism from higher education by just making it a fully-paid, merit-blind, all-citizens-admitted-anywhere admissions process(read: where even someone laid off from Ford could end up easily at MIT or Stanford as they could a 2yr college). It makes one think about why globalization so good, and why the only thing that deals with displacement in a good way (education) is made further out of reach($120k is not an amount of money most of those who are displaced by it would have or be able to get on a loan).
Otherwise the point is lost if all it does is displace and turn a large segment of the population towards populism (and the result making Huey Long's deal look tame.)
Here in the States, that cost some people a universityadmission. The irony of it was that MIT was one of the colleges that went against their normally permissive nature. I guess they seem to think it's permissive only when they know you're an exclusionist.
By the time it gets to the most of us not on the coasts and not in immediate Verizon service, FTT* be just as screwy as cable and just as far behind in speed as cable is today in non-Verizon flyover country.
The problem is that a lot of people actually rely on Fox News. Hard to believe, I know, but a lot of people voted for Bush too You can thank Diebold for the latter.
You mean something like the offshoring of jobs and destruction of industries that have held entire regions of places in the world? Yep, those are money making "breakthroughs", but they sure bring truth to the phrase "Economics is the only science where ethics is absent".
I went to a fairly high end school, that was the worst thing you could do, they'd even protect you if you were involved in a DUI or date rape type event but cheating was an instant expulsion. Happen to go to this school or some other highly exclusionist school?
In any case, you're not shut out from a college education, unless you're absolutely committed to being a failure. After age 24 (last I heard), your parents' income is no longer factored into FAFSA calculations, so you should be able to pay for college at most state schools on the government dime. If your past grades are a problem, you can take community college courses (which anybody can take) in order to demonstrate to 4-year institutions that you are capable of doing college-level work. When you graduate, the better jobs follow.
Well, you just demonstrated another need to nationalize university(and departments thereof) admissions and turn it into a non-competitive, subsidy redirected process where nobody is shut out of an education. Then, only point where failure would appear is the part about just not seeking education in the first place. To implement exclusionism will only result in failure.
Once it no longer matters what university you went to, or that it is a career change, then it's only a matter of it being dedicated to failure not to go. When every opportunity to obtain education, without any additional (and exhorbitant) cost or exclusionary measures in admission is presented to you, there are very few reasons(if any) not to take advantage of the opportunity.
Why do you think the control electronics are so important to a laptop battery? Because if you shortcircuit any laptop battery the only thing stopping it from detonating in a spectacular manner is the control electronics.
Apparently those control electronics werent so good in the first place, and the first thing that *should* be done on a 600 series is to get a good battery with it. Trusting the previous batteries on these things is a cointoss now.

Let me guess it was this state college that wants to act like they arent.

Or for the Israeli inclined, the IDF mouthpiece and conservative echo chamber
Hey, she was provost of Stanford for awhile

Given that they're acting like they're the same circlejerk operation from Stanford, it's very not surprising.

Except there's this thing about them eating the seed corn called the Midwest to do it.
But as for sorting it out, pretty soon a big war will kill off most of the rich .
Fixed that for you.
It's better if it works, and if it helps the US economy by not having a call centre outside the Continental 48.
Here in the States, that cost some people a university admission. The irony of it was that MIT was one of the colleges that went against their normally permissive nature. I guess they seem to think it's permissive only when they know you're an exclusionist.
Maybe Reagan should have kept SDI after all. It's not as if we can get out of a treaty and make our own regarding space weaponry.
