Healthcare is not a commodity. Do you feel that it's truly interchangeable no matter the source? Would you object to being shipped to a hospital in rural Iowa if the ones in New York were to busy? Do you think outcomes are the same? They aren't. http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/559394
The huge benefit of the US system, which is immaterial to most of us, is that you can cut inline if you have enough money. It doesn't matter how important you are, it just matters that your check clears.
Pre-Obamacare, there were many plans that had a low annual cap. They were inexpensive,and popular for people who had enough money to afford insurance, because they were cheap. I'm sure most people, if they were smart enough to realize what they had, assumed that they would still get care after their insurance ran out. They were often right. Who picks up that bill, isn't that just about the stupidest and least consistent way to handle a single payer system? Because all those bills eventually come back to the Federal government, if nothing else, as tax rebates for indigent care.
Hell his taxplan will give wallstreet moguls 6 trillion dollars - which you will have to make up with YOUR taxes.
Well, he could always just Bankrupt the government. That would insure his lasting legacy and be inline with his past "success". Take the money out of the company (gov) and leave so much debt that there's nothing left worth salvaging. We can call this the Hostess method of governing.
Here's the real problem with HFT's. There is too much money in the stock market, due to America's (GOP) insistence that we just dump everything in there and call in privatized, the long term low interest rates, and the general dominance of Finance in our economy.
Hey, the net neutrality one is a couple threads over, take your bullshit over there and maybe you can trick some people into believing you know what you're talking about and aren't an industry shill.
I don't think someone who has the ability to do personal labor will ever really be poor in this situation. They will be the scroungers, builders, repairers. The ones who will be screwed will be the rent seekers.
But.. Paying with your phone is the future, if there's one company more loved and trusted then banks, it's definitely phone companies, maybe cable companies are a close second. /sarcasm
I had a Samsung, which gave me a convenient button to flip GPS off and on, it did try to turn on all location services whenever I flipped it on. No, I don't want you to scan the names of every SSID and wireless tower around me so it can go in someone's database.
Now I have a Motorola I inherited from my wife, since my HPE decided it will only pay for employee cell service, not the handset (WTF). It makes it more difficult and automatically flips on all the location services. I can't find a good app to toggle this, the one I found still launches the location services page and I have to make all the changes manually...
Yes, I still keep location services off unless I need them.
Exactly, they fail because of users and managers, not technology. That was my point. FYI, thin clients can handle multiple displays fine, storage is on the network. Only high CPU and graphics really need thick-client. I use x2go extensively myself. The usual thin clients suck, Wyse and HP. I really like Igel, try them out.
Thin client fails because there are always the occasional outlier that needs a full machine. This makes everyone else jealous and if they have the pull, they get a full machine as well, which makes more people jealous, eventually some manager will put some pet on the full machine and it's all finger pointing about who's more important.
No one stops in the middle of a Super-sized triple-decker McShitburger "happy" meal just because they feel full. Not when there's still 2 pounds of french fries left.
The "basket of deplorables" didn't win the election. Despite their emboldened stance, most people will either claim that there is no evidence Trump is a bigot (head in sand or totally uninformed) or that he's still better then Hillary (false equivalency, maybe prejudiced against women). The "alt-right" hate mongers are still a minority.

When you say "most of America" you mean landwise. Most of America, peoplewise, is actually in more urban areas.
I remember how it was last century, and it sucked.
Vampire?

Foxconn already has a facility in Indianapolis, http://www.foxconngfo.com/fact...
It sounds like a terrible place to work. I know some people that work there.
You know, I am starting to come around. Maybe this all is Obama's fault. If only he'd been born white we could have avoided so many problems.
(This is a sarcastic post not to be taken literally, I disavow all bigots and racists)
Sure, that wasn't a necessary compromise to deal with an obstructionist Congress or anything...
Exactly, the recounts are paid for by the Green Party, who cares.
If GOP really thinks there is voter fraud, then they should be ecstatic.
Well, technically the Republicans could still block some of these nominations...
And someone help me find that horse, with all the horseshit in here there must be one.

Yeah, I don't want to feel like I'm going to get a papercut from my phone.

Indiana is the new blue print for Medicare...
Sucks to be us...

True, bitlocker is for auditors, veracrypt is for security.

Fox News's creation was not chicken and egg conundrum. It's early claims of bias were fabrications, but comforting fabrications to many people.
