Fine. But TFA is about parents sending unvaccinated kids to school. They do want the benefits of society, but not any responsibility
This is the new economy, it's not a question of convincing management to keep 2 guys around doing the same job. It's a question of are you the one guy left or are you are the one guy let go (hint they will probably choose the one that knows how to be more productive.)
Okay. Well,if that's how your company is then I guess you have to try to be the "one guy". And it explains the unspoken pressure of why people do more and more unpaid work.
But a point of nomenclature: that isn't the "new economy" you are describing. Its the dog eat dog unbridled capitalism of the 19th century. Read some Charles Dickens and you'll see lots of stories about this same "new economy".
Even if it is, I'd rather spend 15 minutes at 11pm typing an e-mail that will solve a problem right then, than having to spend 2 hours fixing something first thing the next morning.
You seem to have missed reading the headline, let alone TFA "Workers Working An Extra 20 Hours a Week". You won't get two hours off tomorrow for your 15 minutes of work at 11pm. You'll still work be at work tomorrow morning. Now that you have put yourself on call at 11pm, they don't need to pay someone else to do it, so staffing levels go down, your workload goes up. If you're a shareholder this is great. If you're an employee, if you're married and have children, or you just like to sleep at night, maybe not so rosy.
I'd rather be 'on call' every day for 4 hours after work, on top of my 8 hours a day at work
There might still be fragments of ice / rocks / whatever that humankind can use to construct an artificial planet of some kind
The point is that there is nothing in the "life zone", where you find liquid water, so pretty unlikely there is any life in the system.Which is about the only thing that would justify the gigantic cost of going here.
If we're going to build habitats from scratch, we have plenty of rocks in our own system, asteroids, moons, then the Kuiper Belt. As long a we can hold off from killing ourselves, we could house trillions in this system in the next few thousand years.
The Mexican system is imperfect. It's still a lot better than the US system, which is a disgrace and serves the medical business sector ahead of the people.
Which means nothing on its own. How should we account for the quality of care, taxes paid by each person recieving care, etc?
The question was "name one". That's what I did. You can look up the economic detail as easily as I can.
Anecdote: I know an American in Hong Kong getting treatment for cancer, treatment he would be denied back in his home country despite paying taxes for the last 40 years since he lost his job there and thus his insurance. His chance of survival is still low, in America it's zero.
Sounds like the problems the opponents to universal health care in the States are always worried about.
The problem of making health care cheaper so there isn't so much profit in it?
told her to take her mother, who they suspected had liver cancer, for tests in the neighboring state of Morelos.
Given the choice of travelling for a few hours to have (free) tests, or the American alternative of selling your house to pay for them, I wonder which is the worst?
Hey, you forgot to call; it "Obamacare". Don't worry, I'm sure that will be in half the posts anyway.
Why on earth would MS destroy a simple, well known behavior that users might indeed have reason to want to use? Why 'fix' something that isn't broken? Why break something that wasn't hurting anything else on the OS?
The motivation was probably not to stop you blocking ads, but to stop malware creating DNS entries so they could send you to their site instead of the the intended one.
The annoying thing is that rewriting the hosts file just happens silently, instead of asking the user if this was what he wanted to do. If there were malicious DNS entries, I think I'd like to know, it's a symptom of something very bad going on.
"possession of cannabis" is not a crime which victimizes the government. Regardless of whether or not you happen to like the *US* government, you cannot be so fucking thick that you don't see the difference between "I have a joint," and "I have (and just published) all of your classified military secrets."
So, the guiding principle is that embarrassing the US government justifies any person in the world being extradited and dragged back to the US to be tried and punished?
In any case "having" and "publishing" military secrets of a foreign country isn't in itself a crime. It's actively stealing them that is, and Assange didn't do that.
his is central planning, and it turned out exactly how central planning is supposed to.
No it isn't. Its a test created by a private company. It reflects simply what the universities want to test for admission. And for biology, they want you to be familiar with evolution. There is nothing in this that mandates what the schools teach. Though of course if the kids want to go to university, they had better pay attention to what is required by such tests.
If they plan to go to a fundamentalist Christian college where they study the Bible and nothing else, then that's their choice and they can ignore the test.
"global government under the auspices of one of the most corrupt organisations in the world - the United Nations."
Another gun nut itching for a chance to blow away some of them evil furriners threatening to pollute his precious bodily fluids.While blowhards like this are relatively harmless (except to their own families), pandering to these idiots make it impossible to stop the real psychos from getting guns and slaughtering children in schools and cinemas.
Serious question, why does it seem that Mars is the only planet we're interested in?
It's close (only Venus is closer, and that has a lot more hostile environment) and potentially habitable by humans, and possibly had life on it in the past.
its a extremely left wing government democracy privacy and what voters want is last on there list of priorities.
"Extremely left wing"? Compared to General Pinochet, possibly. In the real world, slightly left of centre. Australia hasn't had a real left wing government since 1975
Would an "extremely left wing" government kowtow to the US so consistently?
is it me or did the class get it wrong, it was never about destroying an asteroid, it was about splitting it up in pieces or nudging it out of the earth direction
Yeah, you got it wrong, like all the other idiots who promoted you as "insightful".
from THE FUCKING ARTICLE:
Using the measurements and properties of the asteroid as stated in the film, the formula revealed that 800 trillion terajoules of energy would be required to split the asteroid in two with both pieces clearing the planet. However, the total energy output of Big Ivan "only comes to 418,000 terajoules".

Global warming is moving in from the seas over 100-300 years. Nobody dies.
More hurricanes, droughts, floods.

Glad it works for you.
My family would rather I answer e-mail for 15 minutes while I'm at home than get trapped in the office for an extra two hours tomorrow.
After a while, you will be expected to do both. And smile. But it seems you are already doing that. Stockholm Syndrome I guess.

Hong Kong. Universal coverage for nominal charge. (Hospitals about $12/day for any kind of treatment, waived if you really can't afford that.)

Or you could use Bradbury's method, get a bunch of people to commit it to memory by reciting it continuously.
Any event energetic enough to erase them will also erase all life on the planet.
