    Last I checked the TSA fell under DHS. DHS is a very broad category. this person may not have been a TSA agent, but it would not be hard to believe he was.

    You are not considering the mileage driven. These cars are on the road for 100k miles + a year, so consider that 4 out of 720 cars were in an accident.

  4. Re:Not convinced on Self-Driving Cars In California: 4 Out of 48 Have Accidents, None Their Fault · · Score: 2

    You may consider it a lot, but when you consider NONE were the fault of the driver or the car itself then it is nothing at all. We cannot always get out of the way of a driver who is not paying attention. Why do you seem to be blaming the autonomous cars and not the people who caused those accidents?

    When did they remove your ability to choose your own doctor? The ACA does not restrict your doctor in any way. Your insurance company may, but that is between you and them, not the government.

    A buisness does not create, people do.

    If you are on an island and demand things then you do it, because you want to survive. No business is there, but demand, and the job to create those things, exist. If someone who already knows how to do those things is on the island he will just do it more efficiently, and can make more money at it, but he did not create the job..

    Lets do your same test. You are on an island full of nothing but farmers, and only need to grow one crop that only takes one person to create and everyone is equally good at making that crop. Is there anymore jobs for farmers? No, because demand=jobs. Add one non farmer to the mix, now there is demand for farmers, and he will pay the farmer who can best serve his needs the cheapest. He created the job

    Basic supply and demand. Who creates the job the person who creates a better mouse trap, or the demand for the better mouse trap? Quite easy to answer. Without the demand for a better mouse trap the person who invented it would never have spent time to invent it.

    Facebook did not create new customers, the customers were there, demanding better ways to communicate.

    I dont believe that sending an itemized bill to the payee for a medical procedure is breaking the law.
