When you find yourself in a hole - stop digging. Dropping the TPP was a great way to stop digging. Working on making H1Bs be less of a scam is also a good move. I'm not saying that Trump is perfect but I do think that he's doing stuff that might help the middle class that neither Hillary nor any of the other Republicans would have done. Only Bernie would have done better.
I think the cost of running an analysis that fine would eat any savings many fold over. It's like drug testing welfare recipients... it might sound like a good idea but you'll waste more money than you'll save.
Whereas making welfare recipients show up for volunteering would definitely be a cost savings. Even if it cost money I don't know many working people who wouldn't fork over another $20 just to make everyone else have to get up in the morning too. I'd apply this to disability and unemployment also. The best part is that with unemployment, and to a lesser degree disability, you would have all the workers that you need to run the program. Don't show up, don't get your free money.
The Aviation Security officer has already been placed on leave and his outfit as publicly stated his actions were not in line with their policy (re: he's f*cked).
Security and police are just about never f*cked. The first rule of a police state is that you don't throw the police under the bus. They may get bad press but where the rubber meets the road, or perhaps I should say where the baton meets the suspect, they still have free rein. Virtually all suspensions result in a slap on the wrist are are in effect paid vacations.
Amazon pirates things every day by going to suppliers of the original and knocking it off with Amazon Basics. That Amazon, distributor of many a fake / counterfeit piece of merchandise, is cracking down on others for piracy is definitely the pot calling the kettle black.
I guess if we can't convince women to go into the roles that some SJW wants we'll just have to force them. For the greater good of course. This is already being brought up as shown here:

If a working model of a invention was either required or, more likely, resulted in a form of stronger patent then a lot of these hand waving type patents could be avoided. A patent should only apply to a working model, not an "idea". As anyone who actually does something for a living can tell you the idea is not the hard part.
So, if he'd been gay, it would have been ok, right?
But just because his sexual proclivity is into BDSM and some wild fantasy stuff....it isn't ok?
Seriously...why do they draw a line at one thing and not another?
As long as both are legal activities, why should someone be fired for whatever gets them off in the bedroom AFTER they leave the workplace?
This is an easy one. They hate white Christian males, though in this case the religion was a non-aspect. From this you derive that gay is preferred over heterosexual as the majority of males are straight. So if this guy had been in a gay relationship it would have been OK, had he been in a relationship where the woman was dominant it would have been OK, but because he met none of those criteria it must be bad. The fact that they guy was the very dominant one made it extra bad, thus he was pushed out.
Which brings us back around to where we started. It appears they are quite satisfied to use cheap cameras setups that are good enough not to overly misidentify white people, and then stop there.
Simple facts - better cameras cost money, white faces are easier to identify on camera. The most logical conclusion is to use cameras that are good enough for a majority of the population. Or if we have a "social justice" bend we can conclude that the planners considered better cameras but decided that they preferred cameras that misidentify black people and the low cost was only a bonus. Get over yourself. This is probably shocking to those who think that there is a vast conspiracy to keep the dark man down but it really isn't always about you. Besides, knowing that no group whines louder than the SJW crowd they would be complaining if the cities bought better cameras just so that they could better identify black criminals.
Tribalism is going to take down the US yet. When the "melting pot" idea was dropped in favor of focusing on separate cultural identities the friction between groups increased. The increase shows no end in sight and the media cheers and eggs on the friction.
Except I am not talking about Haiti and such but the world average. And I even said you could compare to the average of developed countries.
With $60k+, we are part of the rich, like it or not. The 1% is not people with private jets and huge mansions. That's the 0.0001%, and I am probably forgetting some 0's. The 1% is us, people with good jobs in developed countries.
As someone noted below 1% means ~$700K earnings a year and a net worth >$8M. That is certainly a mansion if you want it and a shared private jet if you want it. I strongly suggest you look again at the facts before you assert that $60k is rich but 1% somehow isn't lavish.
... as you don't care about anybody's life. Your only purpose was ridicule and disdain.
I have great disdain for the decline of the middle class since I have kids and feel, backed up by many statistics, that their world will be much worse than mine. I have I have great disdain for special privileges for anyone - me included. I certainly would disagree that I don't care about anybody's life. Parents rarely don't care about the world their kids will inherit, though you could make a case that the baby boomers are close. If you want to point out that I ridicule BLM you would be correct. That movement is artificially created as a means to keep the 99% arguing among themselves while the 1% steal ever more IMHO.
I don't know why you are downmodded troll. The demographic trend has been going on for this reason for over 50 years. Most Americans want to avoid a life of ignorance, violence, and fear.
Well, in general, you do see less violence in the suburbs than the densely populated urban areas, and the school systems are often much better away from the inner cities.
You can't blame people for wanting to try to raise their families in a much healthier environment.
Of course you can. They will call you racist, xenophobic, and probably a few other things for simply wanting decent conditions to raise your family. White flight is blaming white people for making a very rational move to exit violence where they will be blamed and not protected.
But but but those people are poor peons so we don't give a fuck about them.
It's like the big heroin epidemic. All the rich white people didn't give a shit, because it was an inner city poor black people problem. Until their rich spoiled children starting driving to inner cities to buy heroin. Now it's an "epidemic". No one called it an epidemic when it was black people dying or getting high. They called it natural selection.
We have a senator in PA who was a hard ass on all drug offenses. A no nonsense approach. His son recently OD'd and died. Now all of a sudden he wants to fund rehab centers and try to solve this "epidemic". Now he wants to help because it's a white people problem now and it affected his household.
Fucking hypocrites.
Just so you see how ridiculous your rants look:

It's like the big drug epidemic. All the black people didn't give a shit, because it was an Appalachian poor white people problem. Until their spoiled children starting driving to inner cities to buy crack. Now it's an "epidemic". No one called it an epidemic when it was white people dying or getting high. They called it natural selection.
We have a Mayor in DC who was a hard ass on all drug offenses. A no nonsense approach. His son recently OD'd and died. Now all of a sudden he wants to fund rehab centers and try to solve this "epidemic". Now he wants to help because it's a black people problem now and it affected his household.
All lives matter, Fucking hypocrites - only Black Lives Matter.
If a marketplace is not fighting fakes, it gets flooded with them to the exclusion of the real brands...
Unfortunately you are spot on regarding it being flooded with fakes and no real product to be found. I first heard about this issue from my sister who told me that all the women in her office knew that you *never* buy hair products from Amazon because they are always fakes. It's an interesting data point because multiple women there had bought stuff and, from previous usage, were able to identify that these were fakes.
How about we work on improving justice for all without regard to socioeconomic status or race.
Sure. But if we fix it only for the rich white guys, then they no longer have any motivation to fix the system for others, and it is they that are empowered to do so.
I suggested fixing the problem in general. How you moved from that to only fixing it for rich white guys is beyond me.
We should indeed fix it for everyone. But we need to start at the bottom.
Why not just fix it for everyone instead of a half ass measure of only fixing it for your chosen group? I get that you have an axe to grind with rich white guys. Even so the aim of actual justice should be to have an evenly applied and fair process. Not to have a process that only applies to your chosen group, regardless of it's rich white guys or poor black kids.
Sure thing buddy, let's 'pull out of Europe', and NATO while we're at it. Who needs those freeloaders, right? And we'll get a nice 'thank you' card from Vladimir Putin out of the deal, since it'll make it that much easier for him to conquer Europe -- or didn't that occur to you?
They claimed that they were leaders, let them lead. You have to get out of the way first to let someone else lead. I occurred to me, I've just had a hundred too many lectures on how bad the US is to care. I'm merely giving them their wish. If they don't want us that's fine, we will go. I think a *huge* number of citizens in the US feel underappreciated as the US care first about the 1% / corporate interests, followed by various special special interests, followed by illegal immigrants, and at the very bottom are the hard working citizens who have got to be the most taken for granted group ever.
Oh and by the way I'd like to point out that Angela Merkel was called 'Leader of the Free World' by the press last week; that's about the worst black-eye the U.S. could possibly get so far as I'm concerned; the destruction of the credibility of the U.S. is now more or less complete.
So lets pull out of Europe and see how this new German leadership goes. As near as I can tell they haven't been able to solve the Greek debt problem nor the Syrian refugee problem despite both having gone on for years. I'd say that their leadership record doesn't look so hot recently.

The better question is what he's done right.

Maybe in 10 years half of new cars will but in 10 years there will be a lot of "old" cars in the roads so, yes, 25% will do self-driving.
Until insurance rates make it cheaper to just get a car to drive for you.

This is a sick version of the broken window fallacy, except that this time it's people instead of windows. Both are fallacies though.
Neither Germany nor Japan was primarily Muslim. Though Germany is headed that direction these days...

You'll know that Apple has lost when they start suing people more than releasing products. Or at least that's the typical sign.

Maybe for you. I'll take the H1- V model

Caving in to extremists is more like "peace in our time" than a peace treaty. Some people, like the Taliban or ISIS you just can't reason with.
