Yeah, but the computers learning time is conveniently thrown out. It probably did much worse then your average 16 year old in early prototypes. Now that it's mature, it's a good driver, but so am I.
Regulatory capture is blunted by the vastly more numerous people in gov who want to tell others how to do things, not be told how to do. I think gerrymandering and cronyism is a greater issue.
Actually, your part right, and part wrong. Payroll taxes are a given, but theoretically you pay them either way. The contractor has to make enough to cover them, or you can pay them and pay a little less. The Obamacare mandate is not in effect yet. UI is a social contract, it's a minimal program that allows employers to have their "at-will" employment without riots.
The other things you mention are all employer benefits and are not required. In order to offer 401k benefits to the VP's, it has to have a certain percentage of regular workers that buy in, so it's a form of subsidy for the rich (that's aside from the cash that financiers rake in on 401k accounts). Disability helps retention and recruiting of top tier and VP's. It's often paid for by employees if offered at all. Life insurance is so they can buy some on you, as you stated. Workers Comp is really a big steaming dump on employees. If your covered by workers comp, you cannot sue your employer. Losing a hand can be worth anywhere between $37k and $700k, depending on your state. Contractors are much better off, they can sue and recover actual damages.
If you think American at-will employment isn't a low enough classification, I don't want to live in your world. There is absolutely no requirement to provide any benefits to employees in America.
I'm a bit troubled by your obsession with "the black community" I live in a pretty mixed community, and I've seen all colors on welfare. I used to do work in several schools in my area and there were not less issues in the predominately white lower income schools, compared to the black. There was definitely one I remember, I was told there were alot of white supremacists in the area.
Your also correct that most kids in drug addicted households don't succeed. I fail to see how that is related to welfare, since most welfare recipients can't afford recreational drugs. They usually can't afford needed drugs.
And, your kids who "didn't get shit for help from the government welfare systems, they were helped by kind people who saw a bad situation and helped out kids who wanted and appreciated it."
Those kids probably would have been far past any help without the government help you deride. They are like Craig T. Nelson, except they were on foodstamps and welfare AND someone helped them.
Sorry you fail to see your own binary logic. How can you support more kids with less money? How can you claim our social programs are a loss, and what "Chicago event" are you referring to?
Yes, but you should know how to change a tire, where the gas goes, why you need a battery, etc... We're talking about basics. This gives you the opportunity to learn more when necessary. If it's a black box, too many people are too intimidated to try.
Welcome to America, we all have 401k's here. Now that we all know finance, we're expected to learn all about health care billing next, so we can have some "skin in the game", aside from our health.
They were essentially dumpster divers. MS dug out the trash IBM was throwing away, Apple knew that Motorola had a surplus of chips that could be had cheaply. All these accomplishments were just because they were new to a field and able to capitalize on excesses.
Your in too deep. Many of the concepts of programming are totally foreign to most people. Knowing that if/then statements and loops even exist is not a bad thing. I'm not a programmer, but I do alot of scripting and I can read code when necessary.

A Linux box with x2go makes a great internet machine. You can allow users to run firefox or chrome.

No, Uber wouldn't like that. You have to take care of slaves...
Wow, your thoughtful, intelligent, and professional reply has really clarified this issue for me.
Your clearly wrong.
Yes, but that's not the way Uber wants it to be:

And, PLEASE, I don't want my employer to pay for MY unemployment protection. YMMV, but I generally am much more efficient than the government.
I'm glad you think your more efficient, but I can almost guarantee you are not. Your just lucky enough to be in a good situation.
What possible justification could you have for refusing to educate yourself on industry standards? Other than burning desire to stay ignorant?
A burning desire to keep my money instead of dumping it in valueless products...?
You know, the us/them, black/white is old. I worry about people, not black people or white people.
Try Eset, they don't advertise much to home users, they are in alot of security publications and have a great reputation.

My point stands, the US cannot default on dollar debts.

There are plenty more.
So, nuts to anyone who needs help, so we can screw those 19% that stay on welfare long term, which is not more then 5 years.
Your the best kind of correct, "technically correct", but your still wrong.

When my wife used to work at an Old Navy, people often assumed she was in high school and were surprised to find out she had 5 kids.
Thanks for clarifying.
Everyone should know the basics of electricity. What a fuse is, how it flow, what a ground does, etc.

Yes, at the very least, you need to be an idea person with the cash to hire someon. It must be nice to be in that position.
