Nah, it's easy. We just apply a value based on what they deliver to the household. Kids are free, old people aren't bringing in any cash, so when you run them over you should get paid.
Mom's can be replaced with some sort of daycare, we'll price out a cheap one and pay you the equivalent. Wage earners are worth 20 years of pay. Don't worry about inflation or raises, etc.
1> Robust employment with automation Jobs that pay well enough people can afford to buy things. Automation that benefits owners, employees and consumers.
2> anemic employment with low wages and automation, Employees can't afford to spend money and automation becomes cheaper and more desirable due to the quality of work paid for and delivered. A climate where capital owners capture an increasing share of improvements.
3> no automation with increasing authoritarian government and low employment Keep jobs plentiful and keep people desperate. Things only get better for the ruling class and we eventually have a increased terrorism and the US slides into a despotic stye of government. Automation is undesirable because then you don't get to lord your wealth over someone.
Yeah, what's your point? That some people want poor people in prison like conditions? That some people see only the profit they could make delivering an approved meal?
US police expect a certain level of subservience from "civilians". Old white guys get away with calling them out, but as a racially ambiguous large male, I'll stick with sir / ma'am.
I once tried to diffuse an obviously irritated cop with a smile and a wave. The neighbor of my girlfriend at the time. This resulted in getting pulled over by a buddy of his and threatened because I "disrespected him in front of his wife". The cop in question wasn't allowed to pull over his neighbors because he had been in trouble for throwing his weight around previously.
Give us some post civil rights era examples. You do realize that's what imploded the GOP. They embraced the racists fleeing from the Democratic party.
My statement still stands. Nasty people are much louder about their hate and drown out other voices, cut urban areas can certainly be racist and espouse racist policies. Our job is to root them out and expose them to the light so they shrivel up and die.
When a majority of people are more liberal and accepting, those who are not don't just disappear. The often dig in their heels, as evinced by our national dialogues.
It's amusing to me how conservatives ascribe every foible of their own to "blue state liberals". I live in a red state, near a blue city. I see first hand the hateful and divisive conservatives values. Sure, you can blend in and pretend your the same, but as soon as you challenge their assumptions or question the groupthink, the knives come out.
And let's not pretend that red statists aren't masters at contorting their opinions and speech to mask the true intents behind their policies. This is probably the root of their hatred for "politically correct" speech.
Thank you, this is true. American's need to step up and vote, but they also need to serve in offices.

I favor mandatory voting with a fine, like Australia. Election day should be a holiday and if people work they should get double-time.
I'm a renter, so I'm not going to make money on my house, and prices will go up fast if Amazon comes. The schools already can't keep up with student costs since the state government blew up the property tax base and refuses to invest in local schools.
The local government is so in bed with developers I think we're already in trouble. Right now we have shiny new infrastructure, but I'm sure there is not a tax base sufficient to maintain and grow it. Best case we steal tax base from our next door neighbor community that is older and more established so both communities go downhill.
TFA says they are calling it the "HP backdoor", but it was installed by Nortel at the request of Enterprise customers (government ones?). Is this just a nice attempt to smear HP? As an ex hp'er I approve, but I'm curious.
True and astute. The kids get devices from the school anyway (mandatory ipads). Putting your head in the sand and banning technology is not the solution, learn it. Even the stupid stuff like Echo (yuck).

Voila', a libertarian paradise.
I monitor my daily data usage on the router. Mostly so I can call out whichever kid is using the most data.
Xbox uses alot of data.
No, there are three choices:
1> Robust employment with automation
Jobs that pay well enough people can afford to buy things. Automation that benefits owners, employees and consumers.
2> anemic employment with low wages and automation,
Employees can't afford to spend money and automation becomes cheaper and more desirable due to the quality of work paid for and delivered. A climate where capital owners capture an increasing share of improvements.
3> no automation with increasing authoritarian government and low employment
Keep jobs plentiful and keep people desperate. Things only get better for the ruling class and we eventually have a increased terrorism and the US slides into a despotic stye of government. Automation is undesirable because then you don't get to lord your wealth over someone.

I'm envisioning something that would tell you what apps are installed from play and available on f-droid.
I wish there was an easy way to switch apps from play store version to f-droid version.
No, I was too young and inexperienced.
Even now, I would fear retaliation, which is why most complaints go unfiled.
Ah, the vaunted 13th commandment, come right after "Thou shalt not gouge the desperate."
Most American's don't get that far.
This is the US.
Authoritarianism > business interests
business interests > citizen interests
Minimum wage workers are like under-clocked GPU's. Pay people what they are worth and you get better.
That depends on whose pain you are worried about. Business owners or the poor who's wages have been depressed (stolen) for decades.
Have you ever had someone else decide what you eat each day? Try a food bank someday. Money gives people choice.
Dollar stores can't get employees around here. You can see how they treat the ones they have around here.

Arrest and prosecution is the answer, even if it's a pipe dream. Financial penalties might mitigate things, but they need a clear criminal record.

I'm afraid of this coming to my community, which was selected as "best place to live" by Money magazine.

The economies of scale are there, but cities have incentives to swallow long term maintenance costs in exchange for short term tax base infusions.
It doesn't help that many if not most small towns are dominated by developers, realtor groups, and their sycophants.
Your probably wrong.

Libraries are a big target for publishers. Authors love to have their books bought by libraries.
